you know popmac or whatever, it has been a torture knowing that for 2 years now there are 8 LB / FM tracks recorded and we can't hear them. every m&g that i had with Mick last year there were always questions about how/when will these songs be released.

now we know there are 8 more tracks too. and people all over this thread and others think it would be great to wait about 3 more years for them. i just don't get it.

Nothing is coming out in 2014. Just go buy Rumours again. That's all you'll have for 2014.

It hasn't been torture for me, because I was very skeptical about the quality of those tracks anyway. I figured they sound like Dancing or the This is 40 stuff. I'll be glad to be proven wrong, however. And also glad he and Christine collaborated on a few things.

I was thinking that Sad Angel and Miss Fantasy were probably the best of whatever he had. I don't really have much to say about It Takes Time, except that it made me afraid of the other 8 songs. I slept with the night light on just brooding about it.

Anyway, to be perfectly honest and serious, I didn't think Sad Angel and Miss Fantasy were the best. I thought they were probably the most commercial.

Aw! I've grown to LOVE the This is 40 songs. I would love more like them!

Lindsey Buckingham is taking fans inside the recording of Fleetwood Mac’s forthcoming studio effort, its first with Christine McVie, Buckingham and Stevie Nicks since 1987′s Tango in the Night.

He says the foundation of the new album grew out of songs left over from the band’s most recent, pre-Christine McVie sessions. Fleetwood Mac issued the Extended Play EP last year before hitting the road with its four-person lineup, rounded out by John McVie and Mick Fleetwood.

When Fleetwood Mac returned to recording after that tour, things had changed considerably. What was supposed to be a one-off appearance on stage with erstwhile fifth member Christine in London turned into a long-hoped-for full-fledged reunion.

Buckingham says the band switched gears to focus as much as possible on songs with Christine, whose most recent new music with Fleetwood Mac dates back to “Temporary One,” from 1997′s live package The Dance. The group then released 2003′s Say You Will without her.

Christine, perhaps to no one’s surprise, had a wealth of content. All of a sudden, Buckingham says the new album was substantially written.

“We got 8 tracks, very far along — you know, like, 75 percent done,” Buckingham tells 100.9 The Mix. “And all of those, except for one, are Christine — or co-writes between Christine and myself — because it seemed like the priority was to work on her stuff, then to get her feeling comfortable, and feeling far along with this process. We managed that very well.”

ah we got a bit more! hopefully there's even more to this interview.

i'll focus on the positive here - substantially written i will combine with 75% done and the fact that all together these 16 songs were done in about 2.5 months. they added Stevie on 2 EP songs and recorded another Stevie song in 2 days, right? so i'll say 2 more weeks of work and album is done, they just have to select which songs to put on it, and it's ready to put out.

Even if the album is already done and they did the cover photoshoot last weekend, they still have no intention of putting it out this year.
