I've been a fan of Fleetwood Mac since the 80s and I never bothered to listen to all the songs from Buckingham Nicks album. Well, I did last night and I'm in heaven. This album is a masterpiece. I think I'm on my 30th listen of Frozen Love. The song is EPIC. It's one of the best things they ever did!

MASTERPIECE is the perfect word. Glad you are loving it

It's stellar, I don't know how I missed it. I listened to a lot of Buckingham and Nicks before, just not the whole thing. And I've heard people mention Frozen Love.

I agree, it's fantastic! I'm holding onto the hope that in an attempt at a cash grab, Stevie and Lindsey will reissue the album and tour to support. I can dream, right?

i was actually thinking about this today! but what would make it even better is if they would also do their solo songs together, i often fantasize of Lindsey playing guitar on Outside The Rain, EO17, and Fall From Grace

I didn't discover Buckingham Nicks for well over 10 years into my fandom either. I too was extremely surprised at the quality of the material... especially after hearing forever how the album tanked, and various people said it was underdeveloped talent. To me, it sounds as good as any of the '70s Fleetwood Mac albums... very familiar and accessible. Frozen Love is fantastic... I wish they could find a way to work it into live venues again. I like Races Are Run a whole lot too. I hold out hope Buckingham Nicks will one day be commercially released... but it almost seems like that ship has sailed. Maybe once Stevie and Lindsey have retired. I guess we'll see...

I love the whole album...what would be wrong with them touring the old tunes? If Mick is too busy for a while...then, you know...Buckingham Nicks reunited..and it feels so good!!

I don't want them to tour for the album. I just want them to release it. Stevie's and Lindseys voices can't live up to these gorgeous harmonies.

Thanks from dumbass #2. I have not listened to BN. I've only heard Long Distance Winner from Enchanted and didn't particularly like it so I never bothered with the whole album. Now that I think about it, it does seem incredible that I never did give it a listen. That's about to change!

Glad you're enjoying it!

You make a good point, but it would be interesting to see how they would reinterpret these songs today. I agree that the harmonies wouldn't be nearly as amazing, but it would be interesting to hear what they would do. In Lindsey's Soundstage performance they kind of do a teaser of Frozen Love. Stevie said she only remembers the opening words, but I think she is just being coy. I was trying to find a video, but I couldn't. Help!

Yeah, she sings a bit after this awesome performance.
