I wanted to like SYW very much, because I'm such a fan of Buckingham and Nicks. But the band is just not the same without Christine's counterpoint. The formula has been tampered with, and the magic has evaporated. Granted, there were some solid songs on SYW... but they could have been SO much better with Christine's touch.

She really was THE SOUND of FM. The Great Unifier!
And I agree that there were a few solid songs on SYW. It would've been a MUCH stronger album, if they'd cut it in half!
I love WTWCT, Steal Your Heart Away, Miranda, Thrown Down....
But stuff like Come and Murrow???? C'mon, those belonged on a solo album, not a FM album!
