And I fully expect this new album to be different as well. With Stevie being in her 60s now, the one thing I don't expect her to do is put out a wild rocking album. But I expect that signature Stevie Nicks mysticism to remain. And that's precisely what I don't like about Everybody Loves You and Cheaper Than Free... they are not ethereal at all, but are boringly literal. I hear those two songs and think of the garbage Stevie has recorded in the past to be radio friendly: Unconditional Love, Every Day, etc. I'm just hoping there will be heaping helpings of Stevie airy-fairyness to balance out the middle-of-the-road BS. We'll see, I suppose
Don't worry Louie. You hate Every Day, That Made Me Stronger, and Too Far From Texas I believe. So perhaps you will hate some songs on the new album, but you will still love the album as a whole?

There are songs I hate on every Stevie solo album. Despite that, I still like every single Stevie album in it's own way... even Street Angel. So I'm hoping this new album of Stevie's won't be any different. I can say what I have heard, I'm not nuts about (Everybody Loves You, Annabel Lee, Cheaper Than Free, a song about freaking Twilight?!). But these tunes are just a portion. I'm hoping the big picture will be redeeming... and I'm sure it probably will be . I think after a solid decade of no new Stevie material, I'm just anxious.

Richard B's post on this thread really put it all into perspective for me. Stevie's albums are all essentially the same, and have pretty much identical DNA/formulas. All Stevie's albums grab a couple songs from the vault. All Stevie's albums have a couple of rockers. All Stevie's albums have a couple of Adult Contemporary tracks. All Stevie albums have love song ballads. All Stevie albums have cover songs/songs she didn't personally write. I guess the big question here is what the umbrella theme or sound will be for this album. Time shall tell.

Ugh. Why did you have to remind me of the song about twatlight? Grr. I still can't believe it. I guess everyone wants that vampire money.
