Fav track so far

So to those who have cheated and did the AOL listen... what's your fav track? I'm very very surprised to report that Silver Girl is my song of the moment. It really grew on me after a couple of listens

That's easy.

For me, it has to be Illume. Such a moving, dark, beautiful song. Everything about it is great: the lyrics, music, production, and Stevie's delivery. I love this song!

Goodbye Baby by far.

Having said that

, I also love Come, but it is not new to me, and I love Everybody Finds Out and the song SYW.

Out of the songs I'd never heard before, i.e. the Stevie songs, it's a tie between three songs...I think Smile At You, Illume (9/11) and Goodbye Baby are all amazing. I absolutely LOVE the atmospheric feelings of the first two, and Goodbye Baby is incredibly touching.

Out of ALL the songs, it's the same one it's been for the past two years....COME!!!

SOOOOOOOOOOO glad it was left untouched......here's to an amazing live concert performance!!!!

I doubt anything will beat Red Rover for me.

Right now of the songs that are completely new to us, my favorite is Illume. Some of the lyrics are so-so (cliff dweller from the old school???) but I think the delivery is absolutely brilliant. I love the whole tribal chant stream-of-conscience thing that it has going on. When you put it in the perspective of 9/11 I think that it speaks volumes, but its true brilliance lies in its subtlety.

Of course I also I love Come, Red Rover, Say Goodbye, RTTG, Everybody Finds OUt, and Goodbye Baby. I'm sure whichever song we select as our favorites will be fluctuating in the coming days.

i'm totally in love with Smile At You for the past few weeks, but Goodbye Baby is a real kick right in the balls. still can't make up my mind yet...
*note to myself- don't listen to new FM records while on space cakes high*

Goodbye Baby is devastatingly good.
I'm probably biased toward the songs I haven't heard before _ and all of those are Stevie's. But even if that weren't the case, "Baby" would probably be my favorite. The vocal is just phenomenal.

So far, it's Illume and Come with Murrow close on their heels. I'm up to Steal Your Heart away....

Don't know if it's been said yet or not, but does anyone besides me see the similarity between the sound of the beginning of Murrow and Lola...My Love? Very similar guitar or something (I don't know guitar lingo at all, sorry!)

Also, are those strings of some kind at the end of Everybody Finds Out? My favorite part of that song is after she shouts "everybody finds out" and the strings (if that's what they are) do that big buildup. Great song.

i've just finished listening to the album for a second time.. and I can't say I have an absolute favorite, but the songs sticking with me so far are "What's the World Coming To" (my fave Lindsey track) "Murrow" "Come" "Miranda" "Goodbye Baby" "Illume" (so its a 3 syllable word), "Everybody Finds Out" and "Bleed to Love Her".

I really wanted to wait until Tuesday, but when I discovered that I could access the new album via streaming, I left work early and came home to listen with my headphones - I am now very excited about the DVD-audio version.. my thoughts after a couple of go rounds... I'm intrigued, not sure, taken aback, loving most, trying to figure out some, hoping a few others will grow on me, already planning on burning the 9 Stevie songs to CD.. after a little re-sequencing..and have a new Stevie solo cd.. hhmmmm.. ok..

The band must have passed out on the floor after making this record. Because after listening to it twice, I'm exhausted. Now I know the idea behind the cover.

Well, it's another beer (its Friday), and another lit nag champa incense stick and time to listen to "Say You Will", again.

I can never stop listening to Fleetwood Mac. My favorite band - thank you for the new music!

and thanks a million to Pip.. you made my day, angel!!

"..i'm alone now.. with my thoughts..
how we could make it.. how we could get out..
what we've been through, all the drama,
smelling nag champa.."

I like all of Stevie's songs -- though the vocal on Destiny Rules could have been much better, less "old lady" impersonation. My favorite Lindsey track so far is Say Goodbye, only because the music sounds identical to a classical Bach piece that's played a lot in movies (anyone here know it?) -- I wouldn't be surprised if he lifted the track.

Well said, Keith! I was the same way - I only wanted to hear this front to back, back to front

for the first time. So I listened to the stream early, early this morning and was blown away. What a gut wrenching set of songs for us FM fans.

As for my favorite - right now Illume is jostling Destiny Rules from the top spot...I guess that makes some kind of sense as they share an entire verse!

But the whole thing is just...Wow...way better than I expected, and I expected alot. I'm so proud of our band!

I. Love. This. Album.

There are so many great songs on this album, that it is hard for me to pick a favorite. The ones stuck in my head right now are What's The World Coming To, Everybody Finds Out, Say Goodbye and Goodbye Baby. This is definitely an amazing album.. well worth the wait for me. There isn't a song that I would skip at all. It is their best since Rumours.. in my opinion!
