How silly that the critics keep harping on the length of the CD. Do they really think people buying this thing would have wanted less music? I suspect folks just skip through the songs they don't like, but are happy to have all the music. Sure, I would have cut three songs, but then again, a lot of people like them.
Other than that, this is a pretty sober review. The dude makes some excellent points, namely about the differences between Lindsey's and Stevie's songs and the restraint shown by John and Mick. Mick's drumming is so restrained to the point of being boring. Where's the fun, off-beat drumming of Go Your Own Way, Tusk and World Turning? John shines a little more, as he lays down some interesting bass lines on Stevie's songs.
