Time, Q Review

[michelej1]

From the August 2009 issue of Q (Review Reissues). There was no review for BTM included in the spread, but, of course, they don't actually "review" Time or its content at all either.

Time

It might have said Fleetwood Mac on the covr, but with no Buckinigham or Nicks, who were they hoping to kid? Recorded by a line-up consisting of Mick Fleetwood, the two McVies, Billy Burnette (who had joined for 1990's Behind the Mask), plus two brand new recruits, ex-Traffic guitarist Dave Mason and vocalist Bekka Bramlett, this lame old donkey belonged in the knacker's yard and should have signalled their finale. Minimal sales certainly suggesed as much. Time never even troubled the charts and even Fleetwood and McVie nearly gave up. Instead, just a couple of years later the full Rumours version of the band reunited for live MTV album, the Dance, and were storming up the US charts all over again. Bouncebackability, or what?
