That's quite extreme

I can understand why people are having this reaction. It's a clunker. I wanted to love these songs and do like In My World but Feel About You when considering the talent involved and the past accomplishments of these musicians is an embarrassment.

I have to agree that this is a clunker, and IMW is mediocre at best. Sad to see these two go out not with a bang but a whimper.

Sounds like a second cousin to Eyes of the World.

My guess is if you really enjoy Mirage you like this song.

I do enjoy Mirage which is probably why I like this. At first I thought it sounded like a Tango song, but the more I listen the more I hear Mirage instead.

They are Mirage songs without the guitar solos.

What's up with that? Why no guitar solos?

In the new Mojo article Christine says that she thinks Mirage is a strange album and did not seem happy with it .Why would she agree to have their new album produced in that syle Not that is strange.

Mirage is my least favorite album, but I like this song. I also heard Tango in there but now I kinda hear Mirage too.

I want to change my vote! I picked "It's OK" before reading that there was also an option for "Love the harmonies, song is just OK." The latter is my vote.

The vocal harmonies are nice. I like the retro feel. I don't hold the lyrics against them. There's nothing wrong with a light, breezy song (although I could have done without the magnet/steel line - that one has been claimed).

However, I am not into the electric-xylophone-kiddie keyboard-whatever the heck that plink-plonk is that we hear for the first 15 seconds and throughout the song. It really kills it for me.

Nevertheless, I am most certainly buying this album. It's LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM and CHRISTINE MCVIE. Even at their worst, they're better than most.

ETA: I just read in another thread that the xylophone-sounding thing is properly called a "marimba" - thanks fellow Ledgies!

I agree with you. At least on "Feel About You." It could be wedged in between "That's Alright" and "Book of Love" and not be really out of context.
