I for one am loath to draw conclusions about the negative effects of their presentation and promotion strategies without having any idea what they will be. Let's not jump the gun and make declarative judgments which very well may turn out to inaccurate, eh?

Fleetwood Mac knows its best interests better than any of us do. If this is happening, it's worth their while. They are managed by someone who knows the value of image and who has no desire for them to come off as "desperate," decreasing their market value and damaging future revenue potential not only for the band but for himself.

Therefore, I'd wait to see how this is handled before I'd start pouring water on blankets and chance being the one that looks all wet in the end.
