Lindsey Buckingham / Christine McVie - June 9, 2017

does it matter whether two musicians whose collecive age is over 140 years approved a naff sleeve?

Maybe if they expect anyone under the age of 70 to pick it up and give it a listen?

josh otm, i haven't bothered checking out any of LB's recent solo albums just because of the awful covers. a stupid reason, for sure, but not uncommon.

They're great! The covers, too. OK, maybe not Seeds We Sow, which is very much akin to this one:

But I like this one, especially that it is out of focus:

the hell? check them out ffs

i know...

yeah they are both really great

anyway, is Mac touring this year outside of this stupid East/West coast mega show with the goddamned Eagles?

This isn't nearly as shit as I was expecting when I pressed play on that video. Also, nice nod to the classic 87 AH! "Big Love" samples in the track.

haha it's so sad this isn't a FM release when will that band ever get a commercial breakthrough :O

song is good

Looking forward to this but my god that is cover is crap.

The album cover I mean.

It's a really good song with all the tasty rhythm section work we've come to expect from Fleetwood Mac, the bass and drums in this case having that lovely 'Dreams' groove.

I just love that this song scans as "classic" Mac (late '70s imperial phase production/rhythm work) but is also just this weird-ass Lindsey thing

Everyone's talking about Lindsey, but this is also Christine's first significant studio recording in a very long time. Looking forward to it.

OTM. It's also the first Fleetwood Mac album for over a decade, which is all the more reason to get excited.

love love love the single. puzzled/alarmed by the tour announcement, which currently has the buckingham mcvie tour skipping la (and ny), maybe because la (and ny) have the classic west east thingy at baseball stadiums with the eagles, but that's going to make me jealous of the rest of the country which gets to see them in not-a-baseball-stadium. please fix this, lindsey and christine, once you are done fixing the album cover kthxbye.

yeah, wish they were coming to the bay area.

also, there WAS a Mac EP (download only) a few years back. It was good. It was completely overlooked.

yeah weird that this is never mentioned (although I cannot remember anything about it myself)

"Sad Angel" is a fine song that I listen to often.

yeah it was a good ep.

http://www.rollingstone.com/music/premieres/hear-buckingham-mcvies-bubbly-new-song-feel-about-you-w478996 this one is really nice, love the backing vocals

that's great

aw that's a good one, a bit of Mirage feel

yeah, Mirage via McCartney, maybe. It's good! Starting to feel like this album's gonna be great

nice "Magnet and Steel" reference too

goddamn, another great song. this album is gonna rule i can't believe it

Yeah, this Fleetwood Mac album is going to rule.

eh the first song was at best OK – a bit enervated.

after a month of listening to Lindsey's first solo album nonstop, it was revelatory. you can put 'in my world' and 'trouble' on a 45 and it would make sense

they're both good songs alfred

but i can def believe this album is gonna rule, it's not like any recent lindsey solo record sucks

they're both good songs alfred

I haven't heard the second. I didn't hear much Christine on the first.

...then you might really dig this new one!

GODDAMN THIS NEW ONE IS FIRE EMOJI!!

no fuckin kidding wow. what amazing songwriting

It's not the right therad, but can I mention how much I love this unknown album closer. It's a stunner. I love her solo after the first chorus.

yelling dave fizdale sounds like fucking bernie sanders

lmao wrong thread

respectfully disagree, that post in this thread was the right post at the right time

Dave Fizdale is the name Lindsey used to check into hotels in the '80s.

Ooh, not long now to go! New Fleetwood Mac... yay!

promo video for the album, has clips of more of the tunes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxVsqngf9yE

damn they all sound fantastic

surprised this hasn't leaked

Christine sounds like she'd be an acerbic joy after a glass of wine.

The production makes them sound like the younger bands who are inspired by them. The three new songs on Spotify sound like a Captured Tracks band's new EP!
