In the Meantime Vs Under the Skin

Oh God yes, "Mirage" is pretty appauling. "Gypsy" And "Straight Back" from Stevie are brilliant, and I love every Christine track (as usual), but Lindsey really lets it down - I mean, I HATE his songs on this album - in my opinion, some of the worst Mac tracks ever...

I have not heard "Go Insane" yet. I have only heard "Law & Order" "Out of the Cradle" and "Under the Skin". I also have the Soundstage DVD, which I love

Seriously? It's fantastic! Have you at least heard (or seen the videos for) "Slow Dancing" and "Go Insane"? Excellent stuff. So eighties (with its sythesized dance beats), but still so insanely Lindsey.

As for Mirage, amazingly enough the only songs I really love are "That's Alright," "Gypsy," and "Wish You Were Here." I do like "Empire State," though, for its crazy vocals. The rest I can do without.

I know - now I have completed my Mac Back-Cat I am going to get "Go Insane" - I have heard the title track though, and I absolutely adore it

I love "Eyes of the World" live on the SYW tour, but Lindsey's stuff is really, really bad on "Mirage". I have always wondered if he did it on purpose because the band did not want to do another "Tusk"

"Wish You Were Here" is my least favourite Chris song on "Mirage" "Love in Store" and "Only Over You" are my favourites...

Once you've done that, you need to move on to getting other solo stuff, like Billy and Bekka. 'Cause they rock.

"Wish You Were Here" is my least favourite Chris song on "Mirage"

There we go disagreeing again.

Well, you will soon see what I think when I listen to those tracks you sent me

New it had to happen Seriously though, the lyrics are so simplistic, it sounds like a 10 year-old wrote them:

"I wish you were here holding me tight
If I had you near it would make it alright"



We will forgive Christine, because atleast she didn't write them

Nothing wrong with simple lyrics. At least then there's no doubt as to WTF the songwriter's talking about.

True, but unfortunately the lyrics are too simple - there is such a thing...

Anyway, back to Buckingham - isn't "Someones Gotta Change Your Mind" the greatest song eva!!!

It is soooo nice to see someone that likes Empire State. I have seen some label that as FM worse song. But I really really like that song...esp Christine's paino at the end. Mirage is my least fav Rumours line up album but it has grown on me big time. I like every song except for "Oh Diane," Can't go Back," "Book of Love," and "Love in Store." I usually like Chris's songs but I can't stand "Love in Store." And I'm indifferent to "Wish You Were Here."
