Angry ACK!!

Critics need to GET OVER THE LENGTH THING!! So, it's 18 frickin songs, SO WHAT!??! NONE of the songs are filler, SOMEBODY out there DOES love each of the songs. I cannot even IMAGINE what these people would have done had it been a double album....they woulda had a heart attack, apparently, OMG, FM OVERLOAD...DOUBLE ALBUM....CANNOT LISTEN....BOOM!!



Like Johnny Stew said, ALL the songs on this album are better than most of the crap on the radio!

I just get scared about what Lindsey is thinking and in regards to the (hopefully) NEXT FM album when reading or hearing these morons say "It's too long and it sucks because it's not Rumours." BAH...BITE ME!!!! Lemme get you a frickin TIME MACHINE so you can go back to 1977 and BASK in Rumours!!

you're catching feelings because i said something negative towards your precious fleetwood mac.




I'm sure the band appreciates you defending their honor (and their decision to use 18 tracks)


Keep up the good work

Well a few people out there do not love each of the songs (some of the critics)


I think you people need to get over the comments made by critics.
If you like the album that's great.


Stop crying over other peoples opinions.

Wayne2, are you referring to "Running Through the Garden" when you say an 80's sounding track? That so happens to be one of my favorite songs. What's the deal with something sounding 80's or 70's or whatever? If I like it, fantastic! Stevie's "Thrown Down" is her other gem in my opinion.
A big gripe I have with critics is getting on Lindsey's lenthy guitar solos. I can't get enough of them. Heck, he is a guitarist, so what do they expect? Maybe the critics should go check out the Big Band music era!

What, exactly, is an "80's sounding track"?

I love the solos too. Other then SYHA i think all of Lindsey's songs are great.


When i say 80's sounding...i mean the production on the songs sound dated. Sounds like something that would be better on her 80's albums.

In an interview Lindsey spoke about having "ambitious" tracks. I just thought a lot of Stevie's tracks were too safe.

Cool The Album is just like a River, never ending

The album has grown on me quite a bit. I was somewhat disappointed by the disjointedness of the whole record. It still does not work as an album, but rather a cool selection of tunes. I bet if Lindsey & Stevie would have added one track to their output and released their material as solo releases, the critics would have loved it.

I don't know how anybody could listen to say "Mask" or "Time" and go, boy this "SYW" just doesn't compare. This means no matter where your coming from this is the best release Mac outting since circa 87'. Well I was in 6th Grade at the time, so this stands as a pretty damn fine listen.
