So much to respond to I don't know where to begin. Great reading, though.
Say You Will should have been a full-out double CD containing most of, if not all, of Gift of Screws and however much more Stevie could have been added (do we know of anything other than Not Make Believe?). I think then it could have been experienced coherently as the adventure it is intended to be. I could care less about sales, btw. Though, as far as marketing goes, even Peacekeeper might have been a solid lead single IF it had featured a kick-butt music video.
As for country-fying their sound... I wouldn't mind. But, of course, I still think the best thing that could happen to Fleetwood Mac would be to bring Iris Dement into the fold.
ETA: I still go on record as considering Say You Will, as it is, the best American album of the 00s.

Fleetwood Mac helped me through a time of heartbreak. 12 years later, they broke my heart.
