True dat
Just saying Say You Will is vintage Lindsey. He worked so hard on the album and each track really shows his musical and production talents. I was over-reacting to the majority on this forum who appear to not appreciate Say You Will.
I hear him on every note and production value. While some may say Tusk is under produced, Say You Will is produced perfectly IMHO. IMHO, some don't get the musical genius of Lindsey. There are several tracks on Say You Will that are Lindsey at his finest.
Perhaps because I listened to Say You Will a million times with headphones, I hear things some may not. Gosh remember before I-pods, there was the carrying case for a portable CD player? LMAO well, I jogged many miles down Miami Beach listening to Say You Will probably a million times with my CD player carrying case LOL.

I agree.....Say You Will is another Buckingham masterpiece and followed by another masterpiece the BuckMcVie album. It just sucks that the three songwriters never seem to be on the same page.

Exactly and to think the following year Christine's "In the meantime" dropped.
Can you imagine merging both these albums with taking the best from each? The lyrical writing from the song writers on both albums was perfection.

Extended Play is a good release.

My favorite track from Extended Play would be "It Takes Time". Lindsey playing piano was a positive step forward. (Lindsey's keyboard work in the studio, especially the Fairlight CMI, is underrated.) A piano had been absent awhile.

Fleetwood Mac went ten years without new material. If the band was not making albums, releasing extended plays should have been the direction. Extended Play was the first. Additional extended plays would have been or, with the present band, would be welcomed.

In this age of streaming, they could even have put out a single song now and again rather than a full album or even an EP. But then I guess that would have led to in-fighting over whose song got released when.

She did, that’s exactly why they released an EP instead of just 2 songs for streaming as LB originally proposed - as a calling card for the full album coming next ( which ended up morphing into BuckVie once Chris joined, instead).

Stevie didn’t want to work on the album, the other 3 started and then gave her what they had to pick 2 songs to release for streaming before their 2013 tour. She picked Sad Angel and Miss Fantasy. They added her vocals to those but then she decided there can’t be only LB songs coming out so she pulled her ancient demo and insisted on EP instead.

How you were able to jog without the CD skipping is beyond me.

Yep, I ran most of the time with the CD player in my hand. It just seems so funny to think of today. If you remember when the portable CD player came out, the more expensive ones claimed no shaking, etc. A cheap one you could never run with. Part of it was I felt so dorky with this giant thing attached to my waist so I just held it in my hands most of the time and it did not skip.
