On the second and fourth "now you can't find it" in the song "Days are gone", it sounds exactly as if Lindsey Buckingham was singing. Please tell me i'm not crazy.

I love the album. It's been on repeat for me for weeks. My favorite tracks are: Falling, Forever, The Wire, If I Could Change Your Mind, Honey & I, Don't Save Me, My Song 5, and Let Me Go.

Clearly that is a hefty majority of the album haha.. and I like the other tracks I didn't mention, too. There's not a bad song on there IMO. Overall I find it really solid and cohesive, while at the same time having a lot of variation. I'm a big fan of a lot of the 80s-ish production elements. And of Danielle's vocal/lyrical style.

I can sorta hear what you're talking about - there's some sort of a pitch modulation (or it might be the use of a vocoder, idk) done that is making it sound like a guy, haha. It doesn't sound like Lindsey in particular to me though. Although quite a few times I could swear Christine laid some vocals down on their tracks.

Did you know them before the album came out? I really hate "The wire" on the album, it was such a cool Fleetwood Mac-y song before, a real rocker. Now it's just pure pop and i hate the strings at the end of the song.
I am very glad you like "My song 5", because you say you like 80s music but "My song 5" is a completely different experience musically. I wonder why it's called "My song 5". Some people say it's because there are 5 songs in 1. I think they were just too lazy to give it a proper name.
You like them lyrically? I thought it was their main weakness but their songwriting is very effective, and some songs like "Go slow", "Days are gone", "Running if you call my name" and "Don't save me" are beautifully written.
Oh, yeah you're right. I'm crazy.

I think my dreams will come true when Stevie will start listening to Haim instead of Katy Perry.

I Like pop music so I don't really mind the way it came out on the album.

My song 5 is really dubsteppy and it's got a cool melody.

Well, I more so meant her phrasing and such then the actual content of the lyrics themselves. Im I bothered by the lyrics one way or another - they go well with the music and nothing sticks out to me as being cringe worthy or anything.

I'm one of the oldsters on here but I think this is a very well done album.I bought it after hearing their cover of "Hold Me"These girls seem to have a gift for coming up with inventive hooks on one song after another a very rare ability these days.If this album had been released anywhere from the late 1970s through the 1990s it would have sold millions..maybe even approaching Rumours level sales..not sure about now though.
