I remember I read an article previous of the release date, commenting the expections of the new album. It said something like Fleetwood Mac has us used to good albums.... Unfortunately this was not the case. Obviously it couldn't be. Christine was not there.
What is good is very good, I think. It’s just not terribly band centered. Nick and John act like (very effective) studio musicians. And there isn’t much musical chemistry between the two leads.

Still: Everybody Finds Out, Say Goodbye, Red Rover, the title track, and Steal (with the five of them) are worthwhile. There are a few other good ones, too. But overall, the album is a slog. Compare its bloated form to the sleek BuckVie—and to the well-balanced ITM.
