Indeed. When it comes to this band, as with most things in life, I tend to be a firm believer in Occum's razor: the simplest answer tends to be the correct one. So which is simpler: Fleetwood Mac is secretly recording a new album, keeping every single person who encounters them from spreading it on social media, while also avoiding the press, and even their own fans? Or that the album has simply been shelved, and the band members are enjoying some quiet time after 3 solid years of touring. The answer is pretty easy to me...

Mick said Christine keeps calling up asking when they are going BACK ON THE ROAD. Please stop pretending they aren't an oldies act now. Never seeing them again without new music.

I'm with you on this. No new music and I stop supporting them.

In response to other thread speculations, I don't think the band aborted the album because they thought the music wasn't good enough. On the contrary, LB and CM still refer to it as very fine stuff. And even without their enthusiasm, I'd be happy to hear new music. If any of LB's solo albums and CM's In the Meantime are indications of the direction of the new music, I'd be thrilled.

Agreed. Utter nonsense that they didn't like the music. We all know why this album didn't come out when it was supposed to.

Well, release what they have already got....without you know who..

She can always move stage left when the others play some new stuff from THEIR new album.

I'd be happy with this. It probably won't happen, but I'd be happy if it did. The only thing I'm counting on is that Christine gets annoyed and restless if she doesn't have an outlet for songs she believes should be heard. (I'm extrapolating this from an interview she did eons ago and from the fact that she, according to a recent interview is invested in the stalled project because so many of her songs are on it.) If FM doesn't release the music, there's a chance she and LB will release it separately. It's a distant possibility, but...

Yeah, at this point I agree. No doubt..

They are officially an oldies act now.

I was just reading how the Eagles 'Long Road Out Of Eden' took six years to produce. They clearly knew it was their last music together, and made it a double-album worthy of their previous legacy work. I believe our Fleetwood Mac is doing something similar if not the same. Stevie will make sure this final album is done properly; they all will. They did not come this far, welcome Christine back into the fold, make new music, and reach 50 years as a band next year just to tour a couple of times. There is a farewll tour with a new album coming from this band. We've had 'Rumours' in 1977, 'Tango' in 1987, 'The Dance' in 1997, and there will be a final album in 2017. I love, cherish, and admire this band. Tons of missed opportunites notwithstanding, the body of work from Fleetwood Mac is massive and has kept me in good stead all these years. I will wait for the swansong of my favorite band to materialize. It always has, and I believe it will one more time.

You have the mindset that this is all planned out and strategized. As if they're all on the same page. I just don't see that being the case. Whatever happens it's not part of some grand plan they've had for the past few years. When they can all agree to work on the album is when it will get done.

I agree .Yes they are.To bad they cant shake the greed factor and play at places for cheap dirt fee or free like other oldies bands and artists do.They dont need the cash.Alot of great oldies 50's,60's,70's,80's artists and bands play for free or very cheap on the town greens in this state.Also at the casinos .Nevermind to mention when the local fair season starts.Most shows are free at the fairs.

The Eagles were all at least 10 years younger than Fleetwood Mac are now when did their album.Quite a big difference between being in your late 50s and pushing or over 70.Plus they knew there was still $$ to be made.I repeat the Fleetwood Mac album has been shelved.

Right. Both Mick and Lindsey said several times during the last round of press (before Chris's return), when they were trying to pressure Stevie, that FM is most decidedly NOT the Eagles. The Eagles, they said, were always clear as a band what they were doing next and why they were doing it and were all on the same page at the same time. They noted that FM is not, nor has it ever been, that kind of band.

It's important to note also that Don and Glenn were the clearly identified leaders of the band and everyone else was a hired hand who could be fired if the leaders felt they weren't toeing the line. No such arrangements exist in FM. I'm betting Mick is regretting that now!!

Don Felder probably could've used that information.

Just back to check up on progress. Sad to see that there has been none. I sort-of believe the album will eventually appear.
