Editorial Reviews :
Given their overarching history, Fleetwood Mac's 15-years-after studio reunion seems as unlikely as their initial, era-defining nova of success. Even cynics leery it's just another geezerfest payday should find this stripped-down edition of le Mac Classique (singer/songwriter/keyboardist Christine McVie opted out) bristling with a wealth of fresh, ambitious musical ideas. The responsibility for that creative renaissance rests squarely on the delicate shoulders of Lindsey Buckingham, more involved and motivated than he's been in any Mac project since the monumental Tusk. His crypto-folk structures and adventurous, Brian Wilson-inspired sonic textures are anything but predictable, illuminating 'Miranda,' 'Red Rover,' 'Come,' and even the mildly pedantic harangue 'Murrow Turning Over in His Grave.' With Christine McVie's poignant pop sense out of the mix, Stevie Nicks steps up with solid songcraft that rises beyond 'Ilume''s expected folk-mysticism to encompass other melancholy, age-defying feats like 'Silver Girl,' 'Smile at You,' 'Goodbye Baby,' and the title track. That duet with Buckingham argues that their vaunted creative axis may have lost its personal friction only to spin ever freer. And, like firm ground beneath the feet, it's too easy to take for granted the legendary Mick Fleetwood/John McVie rhythm section that gave the band its very name. Cut to its core dozen tracks, it's an album that easily stands comparison to their mega-platinum past.
Buyer Reviews :
I've been reading these reviews, mostly because I have nothing else to do today, and I've noticed a lot of stupid people complaining about very stupid things.
First of all, this CD is not perfect. Honestly I would prefer it as a 14-track album, including my personal favorites, 'What's the World Coming To,' 'Thrown Down,' 'Say You Will,' and 'Come.'
Now about Christine McVie. This is one of the stupid things I've been reading about for the last two weeks: 'I'm not buying it because SHE's not on it!' What are you people ill? Simply avoiding something because one person had no interest in working on it? I know she wrote some of the best songs, but she doesn't want to make another album! So now what? The rest of the band CAN'T put out another album if they want?
I say 'Good, don't buy it.' More copies for people who want something new and aren't totally living in the past.
I have a strange feeling that I'm not alone in assuming that Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood, and John McVie can still put out a very good record. And I'm right. It's a lot better than EVERYTHING that has been released in the last three years.
Have an open mind-- make up your own mind, and move on with your life and enjoy whatever you can. Another issue was raised about the band's website stealing layouts from fan-sites. That's no reason to not buy a record or see your favorite band on a tour. Get a life and PLEASE get some help.
