Disappointing Album Title

I guess anyone could instill or find meaning in even the most cliched, generically lame phrases. But I think "Say You Will" is the by far is the worst, most unimaginative & uninspired Fleetwood Mac album titles to date. It just falls flat for me. It's like they made a concerted effort not to be the least bit provocative or intriguing. Passable for a song title, not an album title, in my opinion. Ironically it's nearly a retread -- Stevie and Lindsey sang back up on a Walter Egan song, "Won't You Say You Will," back in 1976. This title will probably always irk me!! Hopefully fantastic graphic and photo art will compensate for my disappointment!

There are many others who feel the same way by looking at the posts. If it were based on one of the song titles from the CD, I think most would prefer "Illume". "Say You Will" is an interesting choice. It took these creative minds 18 months to come up with that?

That may be so, but the album is being released to the public, not to the band.
