MacShadowsBall · #1 11-02-2010, 05:33 PM

Here's the last discussion thread on Behind the Mask, focusing on Stevie's songs.

Songs up for discussion...
1. Love is Dangerous (w/Rick Vito)
2. Affairs of the Heart
3. Freedom
4. The Second Time (w/Rick Vito)

I plan on counting "Love is Dangerous" as collaboration and "The Second Time" as Stevie...

I Love Freedom and Love is Dangerouss the most, although not a big fan of The Second Time. Love is Dangerous is pretty catchy if I do say so. Their pretty decent tunes from our girl, it will be hard to choose between Freedom and Love is Dangerous for me.

Freedom is an all time fav for me. I just love the snarky boiling anger of it. It's a surprisingly strong vocal from Stevie for the time, too. I just can't say enough about how I really love this song.

All the others are just kinda "meh" to me, though. I like Love Is Dangerous... but there's a certain corny element to it that I can't quite place. I think it's just the general production of the song... much like the rest of the album, it is sloppily heavy handed. Affairs Of The Heart is definitely blah. The Second Time is nearly awesomely bad... but I really do respect the sentiment behind the song. The sentiments are extremely touching... the song itself is borderline painful to listen to.

I love Freedom. I like Affairs Of The Heart very much. Love Is Dangerous is nice duet and The Second Time... just kind of music that I´m not big fan of, but it´s ok.

Freedom is by far the best IMO. Affairs of the Heart is alright but a bit.. cutesy for my liking. I do like LID but I have to be in the right mood to listen to it (which tbh is the case with most of BTM..). The Second Time can go and die in a corner somewhere.

Hahaha, yes. It doesn't do much for me neither

All three ("Freedom", "Affairs Of The Heart" & "Love Is Dangerous") have grown on me over the years.

With my iPod playlists for this album omitting "The Second Time", I'm trying to forget it even ever existed in the first place. And considering it being at the very bottom of the list of Fleetwood Mac songs and considering how many Fleetwood Mac songs there are, I'm surprised it hasn't succumbed to the weight.

If I never hear the song, nor hear OF it ever again, it will be TOO SOON!!!
