I really like the EP!! While I wish there was more Stevie presence, what is there is wonderful to my ears!

I truly hope that their Facebook page with TWO MILLION likes posts about the release of this tomorrow- that would be great promotion.

Just got it -- I love it! It's great! I especially love "It Takes Time" - love the piano, very nice contrast to the always great guitar riffs.

Lindsey is the best.

Ok Seattle. Since you're the only people who know about it on the face of the planet (if this is a recent recording of LB), it's up to you to take this EP to the top of the charts. All eyes are on Washington.

Cool, I'll try to catch that in the morning.

Downloaded, not listened yet.

Incredibly disappointed.

This "EP" lacks direction, cohesion, passion or originality...just like the state of Fleetwood Mac at this point in their career. Sad.

And as always, this is just my humble opinion. Please don't stone me.

As a "newbie" I don't know how much say I have in this but I kind of like the EP even though I would have like more Stevie on it and considering that they still are a BAND, they are putting out a record/EP as Fleetwood Mac there is one thing I do not get.

Lindsey has said over and over that he, Mick and John went in to the studio and recorded all this material. They asked for Stevie to join them but she just couldn't do it because she had just lost her mom. Which I think is a good enough reason not wanting to record anything at that moment in time....but if you are a band and are true and committed to your other band members don't you wait a while for that person to come around and record AS A BAND from the start instead of going a head with the good work and just have her come in and put on back up vocals???

I am sure Stevie was probably not to willing to admit any material to the EP at that time because she was still in her "in your dreams" bubble and even if they went on with recording because they thought she wouldn't come around anyhow, then they should have changed the plan once she DID come around.

My thoughts on the EP:
There's nothing I'd rather be doing this morning than listening to brand new songs by my favorite band of all time. And as for the songs, I love them.

I love this EP. I think Stevie and Lindsey harmonize more on these 4 songs then they did the whole of Say You Will. I like all the songs. My favorite is Sad Angel. To me, it definitely sounds Fleetwood Mac.

The EP is #92 in iTunes overall and #9 on the Album Rock Charts with no promotion. How cool is that!

Hello, Hello Sad Angel.

Been stuck in my head all day. So glad I didn't listen to many/any live recordings of this song.

That being said, not really a fan of It Takes Time (Lindsey's slow songs have never really wowed me) and I definitely want more Stevie, but, I'll take whatever I can get from the band at this point. Miss Fantasy is lovely as well, even if it's just CRYING out for Christine's vocals in that chorus.

Haha, my wife thought that they were singing:

Hello hello Sad Angel, have you come to find a whore.
