Lindsey Buckingham / Christine McVie - June 9, 2017

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.

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!

Kinda weird that this thread went dead when the album was actually, you know, released.

yeah :(

I'm listening to it as I type.

I'm not as high on it as Brad but about half of it consists of keepers. McVie sounds magnificent on "Carnival Begin."

This was a bit anticlimactic for me -- my favorite song is still Christine's "Feel About You". I'd agree w/the above that about half of it I'd want to hear again, but that's not exactly my description of a great record.

quality of this feels v even to me, don't know what to tell y'all

shouts out to "sleeping around the corner" for kinda sounding like prefab sprout at first, thereby closing a loop

Keepers: Sleeping Around the Corner, Red Sun, On with the Show, Carnival Begin, Love is Here to Stay, Game of Pretend. Well, I guess that's more than half the album.

i think "too far gone" is maybe the only misstep but that's only bc i haven't decided how i feel conceptually about "'world turning' but less good"

that's one where the production is too spare to do it justice; the track sounds cramped.
