Lindsey's TITN Opinion
Lindsey said in Rolling Stone around the time of "The Dance" that the Fleetwood Mac sound was "already starting to sound generic" with TITN, and that was one of the reasons why he left.
With all apologies to "Family Man" afficionados, I can't think of a more generic sounding, mid-eighties, voice-modulated. over-synthed song in the whole FM stable of songs. A friend argued to me that "Family Man" may have been what he was referring to. However, again with all due respect to Lindsey, he rarely if ever is prone to criticizing his own work. I took his comment as a slap at his partners. Which leads me to this tangent-thread: Lindsey likes to deflect the bad press away from himself and take credit for all the positives...he left FM to get away from the "generic"-ness and preserve the purity of his craft...The Dance came about thanks to his machinations (which he made sure to mention everytime he did Big Love during the tour)...Stevie's lyrics came alive thanks to his graciously crafting them into songs... ...and the doozy of them all...He always planned on a FM album post The Dance, so that's why he's here, but little mention is made of the fact that it was the only way the label would consider putting his songs out. I guarantee if they had released the album he presented to them, we would probably have seen the last of what we are now calling Fleetwood Mac. Lindsey fans, fire away. I can take it! |
