I just heard the preview on iTunes UK.
I think it sounds great. Like really great.
It reminds me a lot of the songs Lindsey just did with Empire of The Sun on their most recent album.

And I love the reprise of the Big Love ooh/ah.

I can see the millennium fan base really going for it.

Disclaimer: this is not an attempt at Stevie bashing.
I understand Stevie's reasons for not participating in a Fleetwood Mac recording (albums don't sell/she can't work with Lindsey/she doesn't want to be in a studio for a year or more/she wanted a break/she had an album to belatedly tour after putting her plans on hold when Christine unexpectedly returned etc) and respect her right to do as she wishes. I may not agree with her reasoning but obviously it's her decision whether she records with the band or not and I don't believe she (or anyone) should be coerced into doing anything against their will.
That said, I am simply disappointed that Stevie hasn't embraced the opportunity to create with the Mac once more (possibly the last chance), particularly since Christine has returned. Hearing the first taste of the Lindsey/Christine (ie unofficial Fleetwood Mac) album has made me pine for what could have been. Without allocation of blame or ill-feeling, I just think it's a shame for the band and their fans.
I truly hope Stevie will reconsider her position and opt to record one final album with the Mac next year. Time is running out and who knows what the band members' individual circumstances may be a year or two from now. In any case, I wish them all well.

I have now heard the one-minute clip and love it. Very catchy song!

I'm not nuts about the voice processing. And I wish Christine was singing harmony on the chorus.

But I think the song is very good.

Ok, so i've had this track for 12 hour now, and I'm still as giddy as I was on the first play as I am on the 20th. The complaints I'm struggling to understand. The production is stunning, the space and lushness of the track is reminiscent of the best parts of Fleetwood Mac. Lindsey's vocal doesn't sound overly processed, which is a move in the right direction for him. Listen to TTWLG to understand what he sounds like when he shifts keys in post production. The oh's are a clever way of adding substance and variance to the track and the cowbell flourishes are very cool.

Whilst i agree that Christine should be more present in the vocal mix but this isn't unusual for Fleetwood Mac to have only one members vocal on the track.

My god how great it it listening to Mick and John do their thing. ROCK. SOLID.

The poster who mentioned Empire of The Sun understands it, I think this is Fleetwood Mac really showing the millennials how it's done, Lindsey and Chris invented this sound.

First Listen: UGH. why no Christine?! WHYYYYY...

Second Listen: Mac and Mick save this song.

Third Listen: There's so much fun sonic stuff going on (it's tickling my beats headphones) ... too bad I have NO IDEA what he's on about ... whisper vocals are disappointing but they are bathed in the music to get sufficiently lubricated (instead of standing outside the bath waiting to get in)

Ultimately: I love it -- if it were for an upcoming Buckingham album I would be OVERJOYED with the production .. it's like a combination of Stand Back and Love Minus Zero and SWS

And: It's a teaser, not a single

Fleetwood Mac helped me through a time of heartbreak. 12 years later, they broke my heart.
