Do we really want a new Fleetwood Mac album?

Her defeatist comments after TISL failed to sell and her claim that poor sales were the result of fans stealing the music did not encourage me to think that that's not how she reacts to low-selling records. But she bucked up and put out IYD anyway and has fought for it. Good for her.


But despite her faith in IYD regardless of how it was received, I think her expectations for FM sales are still different from what they are for her solo records. Aside from that, because of the fractious production process, I think she would have been inclined to dislike a lot more of the FM records, if they hadn't sold. Mirage wasn't that hot, but with the Gypsy video lighting up MTV she couldn't complain too much about her music on there. But she'd be hating those FM albums as much as she used to hate Tusk if most of them hadn't been so successful.

That's how I think she is. Maybe she'll do something to change my mind. We'll see.
