One of the best bands of all time!!!
Quality product. Speedy service. Happy customer.
Had to get this Fleetwood Mac CD, not only because
it's classic but also for the song "Sugar Daddy",
which I can listen to over and over again. Stevie
Nicks is sexy. Christine McVie is awesome. And the
band just rocks! Enough said.


This Won't Replace Rumours, but Rumours Can't Replace This
While not as classic as their smash album, Rumours, this album stands on it's own, actually. Before there was Rumours, Fleetwood Mac released their more unknown re-debute, which displayed their new-found pop style, in contrast to the blues rock of the Peter Green-led Fleetwood Mac. It's hardly a developing relic of the sound of Rumours, it doesn't feel like a cheap prototype, nope, it's just more great music, different enough to stand on it's own from Rumours (I don't prefer the music as much as I do from Rumours, but that's not because of style, it's simply a matter of preference).

Aside from the very bland and boring Crystal, your looking at ten great tracks here, no bad songs, but nothing but great pop music. Like the smash hit Rumours, you can tell the different styles of each. As usual, Mcvie writes upbeat, a bit melancholy pop songs, and she still sings in that stunning voice she has. When she slows it down for Warm Ways and Over My Head, it's just as stunning as she is in songs like Say You Love Me. Stevie Nicks, actually gives her absolute best, as her smaller contributions make up for amazing songs. Buckingham is the master of making those bouncy pop songs, and with this album, throws the fantastic I'm So Afraid at the end of the album. While were on the subject of Buckingham, he plays some of his most passionate solos here, from bluesly licks, to sensual, scorching, I agree with the people who say that his playing is underrated (same goes for John's bass playing).

Monday Morning, starting the album, feels like a Monday song, and it does not disappoint with that, while the aforementioned Warm Ways breaks it up with early morning beauty, then is broken up with the emotional Blue Letter. Stevie Nicks gets her first spotlight with Rhiannon (a character from a novel), and she sings in the immortal witch voice that got her in trouble. Mcvie gets two songs in a row, the lovely, easy, gliding Over My Head, that gives the aura of a night carnival, at least for me (probably conjured by the Ferris Wheel simile or whatever), and the poppiest song on the album, Say That You Love Me.

While it might be a cliche to name it so, Landslide is arguably Nicks' best composition. The immortal lyrics, immortal, organic shimmering, the introspection, it's a masterpiece, especially for an acoustic song. World Turning features some of Buckingham's best playing. Scaling some of the tastiest blues licks, like a Jimmy Page but less sexual and bombast, it then goes into a thumping, pulsing beats that will make you move. It kind of fades into mediocrity during the final parts of it, but the first part is not to be mist. Mcvie gets her last song, the poppy Sugar Daddy, with soulful organ and piano. Sure, the lyrics are pretty pedestrian, but considering the marriage problems she was going through, it makes sense she wants a "Sugar Daddy". It's a great song, actually.

They, however, perhaps, save the best for the last. I don't know exactly why I get so much musical value from I'm So Afraid, but it's such a damn good song. Backed by tom-tom like pounding, the organ shimmers and conjures up a mood of melancholy, like Buckingham is singing in the desert, with the sunset in the distance, It seems to give the mood of that, and with absolutely wrenching guitar solos from Buckingham, it turns out to be quite a closer, and great touch with the gongs! Great way to bring this heck of an album home!

It is tempting to label Fleetwood Mac with the rest of the forgettable AOR _______ that, if it disappeared off the face of the Earth, I wouldn't give a _____ (Boston, Journey, Peter Frampton, The Eagles, Styx, Foreigner, etc. ), but considering these guys still sound incredibly fresh today, they deserve higher status.

8. 5/10.

A good additional for any real fans of the Mac
While this isn't their *best* work in my opinion (See 'Rumours' for that!), the music is great. I bought this CD specifically for 'Monday Morning' and the original rendition of 'Rhiannon' and I was not dissapointed. . . as I say in the title, a good additional for any true fans of Fleetwood Mac!.
