There is no WOW factor like we had with every album before it and every Stevie album ever made. Even SYW had a WOW factor on a lot of songs - even RAL did cos Stevie's voice kicked ass on it. Time was just not worth it. I keep expecting Christine to fall asleep during her own song - "The bright lights of the city are starting to.....(Billy: Psstt..chris..we're still recording..) Zzzzzzzzzzz". And something else, I forgot Billy was even present on this album. It seems all the members of Fleetwood Mac had either left, fallen asleep or gone to get a coffee during the making of this album.

Jeez your a chiffon-head if I ever heard one

What do you think of the pre-Buckingham Nicks stuff just out of interest

Actually you know some of it is ok...I like some of Christine's stuff and stuff along the lines of "Black Magic Woman" but "Oh Well" is more bonkers than "Tusk" and "Albatross" just bores the living snot out of me. I don't really know a lot of the early stuff. I got into Fleetwood Mac through my Dad - they're his era ya see and then ventured into Stevie myself. I have to say, STEVIE WHOPPS EVERYONE'S TUSH!! SHE IS THE ULTIMATE!! Right ok..look u see I'm giving "Time" another shot...it's only on track 2 and I'm allready bored. Looking down at the tracklisting i'm thinking "God this is gonna take AGES!!" - i'm gonna have to play Bella Donna TWICE now to make up for it!!

A deaf one at that. If OSOTM has a "Wow" factor (or "amazing vocal performances"), I'd run, not walk to a ENT specialist, because something is DEFINITELY wrong with your auditory canals.

Let him live in his own little world of chiffon and lace - we are the enlightened ones

Although I love OSOTM
