Say You Will is a very weak album to me. It doesn't flow well, it was dated on release, the vocals are subpar, and the compositions don't seem like they go together. The opening track is laughable to say the least. I never once got that "magic" i got from Tango, Mirage, Tusk, Rumours, or FM... (I'll leave out the great pre-Buckingham/Nicks albums to compare apples to apples)
As far as Stevie's material she has some decent tunes... but the production of them are aurally in bad taste. There are times when Stevie sounds like she's holding her nose while singing and it's the production trick of running the headphones thru the main mic... God that's disturbing...
Her tunes on Mirage are amazing to my ears... Straight Back, Gypsy, That's Allright... she mixes up genres with perfection... a little rock, a little pop, a little country sounds... the harmony factor alone on Mirage blows SYW away..
Yeah SYW... I bought it... but I'm just not buying it...
