Blerghh. Mediocre faceless drizzle, and slick.

Who are LB's weird producers? Apart from himself? Froome produced los Lobos, crowded house and Suzanne vega. All huge commercial successes. Come on. Who's weird?

I still think Rick Rubin would be the perfect choice......he's done some great work with rockers, but he's also pushed a number of country acts out of their boxes and on to new heights. I think he would serve each of the three songwriter's needs perfectly, as well as the band instrumentally.

I'm a bit disappointed there wasn't much mentioned for a new album.
I have been reading however, and it seems they are going to be in the studio to record new music with Christine. That could mean so many things. Christine mentioned an album after the tour? Wow, so what then? Another tour for that album? Did Fleetwood Mac take a page from Rush's business plan. Rush toured 3 years in a row with much success, then did an album in year 2 and toured it. The album was fantastic as their chops were completely solid. This is when I say, "Thank God for Lindsey" I'm sure he is dying to make new music. I hope he gets his wish.

Maybe their lack of comment is due to a lack of contract and/or label. Let's get this done already. I feel for the people that spent tons of cash to see FMac only to see the same setlist (add Christine tunes). And some of those people may not even like her hits. Which would mean another nostalgia tour.

Anyone else have an opinion?

I agree.It would be a great start on promoting it on this mornings interview.

It's been 'after the tour' for a few tours now, and Lindsey offers up some excuse about needing to be on the road to establish a 'dynamic' and then they'll record an album 'from the ground up'.

You don't need a contract to say 'we're recording an album'. A contract isn't the vehicle for an album - an album is the vehicle to a contract. They've said Warner wants them. So record something!

They can't stand each other (look at Lindsey's face in those photos) and I've just come to accept the reality that Fleetwood Mac have nothing to offer, as a band, anymore, other than rehashing old material.

Do you mean the promo photo of all 5 of them? Lindsey's just pulling his "I'm a serious artist" face. It's the same one he used on the cover of Seeds We Sow.

The fact that they are recording in Village Recorders is great news. That's not fooling around, that' serious recording. But come on Stevie, you are not sure how or when you want to record? I thought you were a mad songwriter and had hundreds of songs? Christine is back like you wanted, stop being a DIVA and get into the studio.

Yeah,I thought about that after the fact. He's always been Mr-serious-face.

Yes, this is what I have been saying. They are a nostalgia band now.

I think it's time to start a letter and email-writing campaign to Warner Bros for 'Mirage' and 'Tango' expanded remasters. They're long overdue. Plus, "Everywhere" (in the UK) and "Seven Wonders" (in the US) each had renewed popularity last year and a return to the charts, thanks to the 3 #DancePonyDance commercial and American Horror Story: Coven, respectively. So there's certainly an interest in the band's music from that era.

Will WB invest the time & money on re mastering Mirage & Tango when it's possible that they will loose the rights to those albums in the near future?
