They just need to go in as a band and do what feels right at the moment. Don't over think it.
Mirage was like a Buckingham/McVie album to me with some great Stevie tunes. The album to me sounded like a band. The harmonies are amazing, and the production was brilliant. Mirage gets a bad rap.

I think it's the smart thing to do.....with John on the mend, the last thing he needs is to be travelling from city to city! Best thing for him in the next few months would be to stay close to home, in one spot.....recording an album would allow this. BUT.....I think they should put a time limit on recording....two or three months TOPS!

Yes please, I would really love a new Fleetwood Mac album. Their harmonies still sound beautiful together. The EP was practically crying out for Christine's voice on Sad Angel and Miss Fantasy, imagine how fantastic a full album with all three of them on top form again would sound?

LOL! Surely you jest. Twenty-five studio albums by the stones vs. five by the "Rumours" lineup, six if you include "Say You Will." I've said it before: FM's output since 1974 has been nothing short of miserly and pathetic. To compare it to the Stones is way off base.

The Stones never let themselves be defined by one record like FM did...

They also never had one sell that many copies.

do you want a new album from your favorite band? of course, what would be the reason not to? because it may not be great? who cares! better than nothing. they will always be defined by rumours (they seem to insist on it!), whether or not other albums are great or not.

Eh, I'm not even sure FM is my favorite band anymore. I'd have to give the honors to Cracker and the Stones at this point.

I don't think Tusk, Mirage, or Tango sound anything like Rumours.

Because I would hate for their final album to suck. That's my reason, but I will probably like it. So...

I say yes if not purely for the fact that I don't think Say You Will should be the bands "last outing" in the new music arena. As much as I like that album, I'd rather the band retire/say farewell/whatever you wanna call it with one final album as the Rumours fivesome.

Yeah, that really does make sense. I agree.
