I think it's the calm before the storm. Next month they have all kinds of promotion scheduled. Next WEEK we have the Today Show and the Webster Hall show. For whatever reason, WB decided to do the bulk of the promotion after the release.

Here Here!! This really is depressing thread, just one week before Stevie's 1st new album in 10 years. Jeeeezz! We should all be celebrating. The album will do what it will do. Stevie is a sixty-somthing artist, who is doing ok, relatively speaking, in regard to pre-release expectation. Stevie hasn't pandered to the latest "sound" to force a hit song (thank goodness) or collaborate with the "in" current artists (like she did on TISL) so all being said, I expect a fantastic non-contrived artistically driven classic Stevie Nicks record - Finally!!!

IDK, I think they are being smart by keeping a tight lid on this album. We have 2 full songs, and the trailer The listening parties/album showcase's for TISL, produced most of the leaked advance promo copies, that ended up in the hands of fans and on the web & ebay early. And that cost Stevie dearly, cause that was at the height of file sharing & Napster. Stevie & WB probably easily lost over a hundred thousand copies that could have been sold, instead of downloaded. So now, with Stevie's base and celebrity considerably smaller than it was 10 years ago, they cannot afford to have this one leak and lose any more precious sales.
Also I suspect we'll see a review for IYD in the next RS.
