All I need to do is photoshop some green hair and I'll have an Oompa Loompa. One of the older ones.

Oh looky another rave review!
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...cle1677301.ece LINDSEY BUCKINGHAM – Gift Of Screws **** “I’M still clinging to my sense that there is still much to be said,” says ex-Fleetwood Mac guitarist Buckingham of this, his fifth venture as a fully fledged solo artist. The album starts quietly with Great Day, which showcases his unusual method of finger-picking guitar giving what is essentially a rock album undeniably folky undertones. By the fourth track, a more ragged, rock sound is introduced, culminating in a full-on screeching bridge section. Contributing artists Mick Fleetwood and John McVie add some rhythm sections but Buckingham’s ability to waver between varying tempos and genres makes it enjoyable. |

If only it wasn't from The Sun
I kid, any good review is welcome. To be honest, I wouldn't have expected the Sun to be reviewing it. |

What a weird time in music. Those reviews did make me curious to hear the Metallica album -- now, THAT'S a rave review! But again, what does this guy know? He says that the new Ne-Yo album is all bout his love of women. . . lol

I know But have you ever seen The Sun's weekly music section? It's surprisingly great. I mean this week they have interviews with Joan Baez and Nelly, and in the past they've interviewed everyone from Neko Case and Wilco to Bright Eyes and The Gutter Twins - not artists you'd expect to see in The Sun. I mean they did a big page feature on Dennis Wilson when his album got reissued! It's weird but cool. I learned about artists like Elvis Perkins in The Sun believe it or not, whoever edits their music section has great taste. |

What does he mean "throws a cherry bomb at Bush's war machine"? I guess he doesn't know it was written before GW Bush was in power. Last edited by Peestie; 09-12-2008 at 10:44 AM.. |

b102.7 Sioux Falls Classic Rock
http://www.b1027.com/index.php?optio...4582&Itemid=74 Buckingham Rocks on New Album Fans who were confused by the unusual mellow vibe of Lindsey Buckingham's last album are going to be pleasantly surprised with his new album, Gift Of Screws, which features numerous layers of hard driving electric guitar. Buckingham was asked if he'd ever been jealous of his late '70s colleagues Peter Frampton and Neal Schon, who came to symbolize the guitar heroes of the era, while his own groundbreaking work was buried under the drama of the Fleetwood Mac myth: "To some degree, the way the average person judges guitar is sort of guitar for its own sake. And I guess, I've always tried to make guitar in service of the song, and maybe that makes it a little less obvious to the average listener. Part of what I judge success as being, in terms of good record making is when the guitar work -- or any instrumentation kind of melds to the song and becomes not something that you're aware of, just becomes part and parcel with the whole." Gift Of Screws comes out on Tuesday (September 16th) and features appearances by Fleetwood Mac bandmates Mick Fleetwood and John McVie. Lindsey Buckingham performs tonight (September 12th) in Stateline, Nevada at Harrah's Lake Tahoe. |

Lindsey Buckingham - Gift of Screws
September 12th, 2008 | 5:35 pm est | Thom Jurek Allmusicblog Two studio albums in three years may not seem to be a breakneck pace for anybody else, but for Lindsey Buckingham it is no less than pure acceleration. Indeed if we include the live album that came out in 2007 between the two, it’s like three outings in as many years — warp speed for an artist like Buckingham who has been known to go more than a decade between his own offerings outside of Fleetwood Mac. On 2006’s Under the Skin, Buckingham issued a soft-spoken songwriter’s disc. It was all acoustic, deeply reflective, poignant, profound, and drenched in beauty. It was also criminally under-noticed. Somewhere he promised he’d release an electric rock record in the future. Gift of Screws (referencing the poetry of Emily Dickinson) may not be all the way there, but more often than not it offers the kind of rocking, heady electric pop he’s known for, as well as some glorious, lyrically sophisticated, acoustic singer/songwriter fare that bears his signature alone. Some of these tracks were written for an aborted session begun in the 1990s. Still others made it onto the Mac’s Say You Will, and still others are brand-spanking new. The set opens with “Great Day,” a pulsing, urgent, minor-key rocker that blends electric and acoustic guitars, organic and electronic percussion, and some hushed keyboards. It explodes near the end with a scorching, burn-up-the-wire guitar solo he usually only plays live. “Did You Miss Me?,” written with wife Kristen Buckingham and featuring drums by Walfredo Reyes, could have appeared on any of Fleetwood Mac’s blissed-out, bittersweet ’70s recordings. The weave of guitars, layered backing vocals, and drop-dead catchy chorus is pure Buckingham. Mick Fleetwood and John McVie are the rhythm section on the rumbling multi-dimensional blues-winder “Wait for Me,” which also offers more evidence of the guitar slinger emerging form the shadows to take place center stage before giving way to a dense multi-textured chorus that transcends the blues without leaving them for dead. Fleetwood also adds drums to “The Right Place to Fade,” with bassist John Pierce. Acoustic guitars meld enormous power chords and stinging lead fills in a frenetically paced pop song. Along the way, there are hesitant, confessional, acoustically orchestrated songs where the darkness almost swallows the light as in “Bel Air Rain.” The wall of strings fingerpicking style adds to the emotional heft of songs like “Time Precious Time,” especially as the vocal effects give the sound a nearly three-dimensional quality. The title track is a balls-out rocker that places ’60s rave-up garage rock up against ’70s glam in a storm of guitars and clattering drums. The closer, “Treason,” is a dignified near-anthemic pop song with a gospel chorus that is unlike any song Buckingham’s written before and sends the set out in a very elegant, and deeply moving way. What it all means is simple: that Buckingham is not only still relevant, but he’s also a pioneer in terms of craft, execution, and production, and has plenty to teach the current generation about making excellent records and never resting on your laurels. Gift of Screws is a standout even in his catalog. |
