Bad lyrics - Silver Girl. I love the first verse though, just not the rest.
Christine come back, please!! - It would have been great to have her on the album, but it's perfect the way it is IMO. Should've been a hit single - Thrown Down Add this song, remove that one - I got nothing! Much better performed live - I don't know about live, but I prefer The Tower to Goodbye Baby and one of the Smile At You demos to the album version. Overall least favourite - Oh this is hard, I love them all! But probably Say Goodbye. If you read my: "SYW best album of all time" thread, you know how I feel about this! ![]()

Bad lyrics - Other than some of Smile at You's awkward lyrics, I think the songs are all great, lyrically
Christine come back, please!! - Say You Will, Miranda, Thrown Down Should've been a hit single - Who cares? Add this song, remove that one - Not sure what I would add, but I could do without Come. Remove LB's Zelda Rubinstein vocals from Illume, and add another verse to Say You Will. Much better performed live - None. Overall least favorite - Probably Come. |

Quote:
I actually like the detachment that I think Stevie's background vocals add to the song. As a song about a person who has sunk into insanity, this one always reminded me of an old one by Helen Reddy, Angie Baby. I like the murky music and then you put in a vocal for the chorus that sounds like it could be the schizophrenic voice in someone's head and I just love it. If Christine's harmony would have made the song warmer, then I would have resisted that. I want it to stay cool and removed kind of, but it would have been interesting to see what qualities in the tune an arrangement that included her would have enhanced. Michele |

least favorite...well, it isn't on my list of "favorites", I just downright dislike the song:
Running Through The Garden Swap it out for "Not Make Believe", the album improves 8 points right there. Now, let's talk album tracking order...sucks. Just like most Fleetwood Mac albums, they have ZERO sense of how to track an album. Sure, Stevie THINKS she can, but she's the worst of 'em all. And all of you who want a different "Smile At You" on the album....you're nuts. Crazy. Tone deaf. You wouldn't know a decent track if it smacked you on the back of the head. The track on the album is the best track ON the album...by far.

Bad lyrics - Silver Girl.
Christine come back, please!! - Christine would have been amazing on Thrown Down, Destiny Rules, Running Through The Garden and Everybody Finds Out. Maybe Miranda as well. Or the whole bloody thing. ![]() Should've been a hit single - Thrown Down / Miranda. Add this song, remove that one - They each need to lose about three songs each. The album just drags. Much better performed live - Destiny Rules Overall least favourite - Smile At You. Words cannot describe my loathing for the SYW version of the song ![]()

Bad lyrics - I can't think of any really bad lyrics on here
Christine come back, please!! - She added a lot to Steal Your Heart Away, and that's why that song really sounded the most "Fleetwood Mac" on the album. Add her vocals to the other tracks and add 4 Christine songs (and keep the best 4 of each from Stevie and Lindsey, removing the rest) and you'd have had an amazing album. Should've been a hit single - Thrown Down, Steal Your Heart Away, Miranda Add this song, remove that one - Add Down On Rodeo, remove Come Much better performed live - Not sure Overall least favorite - Come |

Bad lyrics - Silver Girl
Christine come back, please!! - Destiny Rules, Thrown Down & Say You Will Should've been a hit single - Thrown Down, Destiny Rules, EFO, Steal Your Heart Away or Peacekeeper (minus the squawking bird) Add this song, remove that one - Add: Down On Rodeo, Gift Of Screws & Gotta Get Away Remove: Whats the World Coming to, Come & Miranda Much better performed live - Say Goodbye (the SYW studio version makes my skin crawl-sped up way too fast) Overall least favorite - tie: Come & Whats The World Coming To (I never listen to these two) AND The title of this record should have been "GIFT OF SCREWS" Last edited by Christopher; 07-19-2011 at 07:24 PM.. |
