The album is a mixed bag for me but I tend to appreciate it more than Tango. If you call BTM corporate rock then you must call Tango corporate synth pop. I'll take the corporate rock category any day. Stevie's songs are sad and bad. Freedom is ok. But Second Time and Affairs Of The Heart are some of the worst songs she ever recorded. I dont care for Billy's singing and I cant stand Hard Feelings but he's got the best song on the album - go figure that one out. I really like the title track and its nice to get a dark Chris song but I can never explain why I dont like the song more. I cant put my finger on it but the song does not grab you like a Chris track should. The tempo or the beat or something. I just like hearing the classic Mac again. None on the songs on Tango sound like Fleetwood Mac if you strip all vocals. BTM has many classic Mac elements and Chris plays so much on the album. Besides the OWTS tour with Chris, the 1990 tour is my favorite. The band was on fire and poured their energy into every song. It was the last of their arena rock before a more tame and neutered Dance would happen 7 years later. Stevie was just drugged out and danced. Chris and the guys took control of the show. Winner circle: Back of My Mind Love Is Dangerous When It Comes To Love Save Me Skies The Limit Meh: Behind The Mask Freedom Do You Know Stand On The Rock When The Sun Goes Down Horrible: Second Time Affairs of the heart Hard Feelings

Do I love this album, no. But, I do like it very much. Took me so long, but now I like Skies. I feel like the playing and performances on this album are solid, too.
I like this album better than Time and SYW... but, that's as far as I'll go. {walks off singing..."one set of doors was the colour of honey... one set of doors was pink and greyyyyy. Well I wonder which set is mine said she....."

There are many reasons to hate this song besides the honey, pink and grey doors. "I wonder which set of mine says she" OMG who talks like that. She does not even sing like that. YES, I would say that to Bob Dylan too.

Personally, I think it has almost no comparison with TITN, not only for Lindsey's production, songs and stuff, but also for the style and the age it was released, more far away from the synth-pop you say...
I like it less than Time, I think Time is better -specially Chris' songs-, but I respect it a bit more than SYW. Well of course if we erase some songs! Those last tries to make the band a commercial one, really failed, and are very weak songs...I mean, Skies The Limit and Save Me. I can't stand them! I like them, but please NO! Don't force the try to have another commercial success!! Behind The Mask -the song- has a very special meaning for me after a very personal situation I live 2 years ago...The part of "There will never be a second chance for you...Oh, no...Not for you", fits perfectly. So it's one of the highest points for me. Nicks songs are weird, but I can live with Affairs Of The Heart. It's like a song that kept itself waiting for a release after TITN or TOSOTM, sounds REALLY like an 1987 song! Billy and Rick's efforts are not bad, specially Billy's, as he sings a lot and has a good work with Chris. Stand On The Rock and WTSGD are, well...I don't want to sound boring, but they don't sound like FM, not like the TITN's Fleetwood Mac. I'm talking about Fleetwood Mac the band, not the 1987 band only. Anyway, they sounded good. One thing I must say, the beginning of ITBOMM is needlessly LONG!! I must skip it to hear what we really wanted to hear!! And of course I must say this, since the situation warrants it. The Second Time sucks. It simply sucks. If When I See You Again was trash, this one definitely wins all the prizes. Last edited by moon; 04-28-2024 at 09:39 PM.. |

Yes. Both songs look like wines from the same bad harvest.

The Second Time was inspired by Rick Vito sharing a dream he had with Stevie. She interpreted his dream through the song. Definitely is filler.
(its not in the book)
