As a musician, I can tell you that they should of had Chris Lord-Alge mix the entire record. The album lacked a cohesive sound. Stevie's vocals were mixed HORRIBLY (too much high end, almost no reverb). The lack of Chris' keyboards made for a weak sounding rythm section and in my opinion, gave Lindsey TOO much room to overplay on almost all the tracks. The whole album lacked the ETHEREAL sound that made Fleetwood Mac successful. Let's pray for an outside producer for the next album!!!

I actually love the sound of
Say You Will, but I know I'm in the minority. There've discussions about producers in the past. I agree that SYW did not have the recognizable sound of Mac. . . but I also think they should go outside the box, while remaining within the popular idiom. My initial thought was Timbaland. But also, why not?, Brian Eno! It'd be about time.
