Tango In the Night-era Fleetwood Mac now.

I think this one be the one I'd cut if the album was running too long.

sad yes

Last track - Subdivisions.

by Nightjar Tue Feb 23, 2021 7:38 pm

Subdivisions.

A very American title/concept.

Joni's been there before.

by Nightjar Tue Feb 23, 2021 7:38 pm

I quite like this one.

by Nightjar Tue Feb 23, 2021 7:39 pm

Melodically, structurally not nearly as complex or challenging as JM though.

More a Rickie Lee Jones type affair.

by Nightjar Tue Feb 23, 2021 7:40 pm

Honestly, I think that this is the best track so far.

by Guest Tue Feb 23, 2021 7:43 pm

It is over.

That was alright, the last couple of tracks seemed a bit dull though.

★★★★☆

From me.

It is over.

That was very pleasing, on an individual track level but, overall, lacked a willingness to cut fully loose, and suffered from its clear debt to other artists.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it. Excited

I shall give it 3 stars.

by Nightjar Tue Feb 23, 2021 7:46 pm

It was a competent, yet uninspired affair throughout in truth.

I suspect that a comfy aural-production formula was settled on early doors and most other considerations were incidental to this.

Perhaps they've done better before - with a less Ambien-esque Tango In The Night aesthetic throughout.

The first track on this album is GR8. yes

I saw this lot live, some time ago, I really don't like their new direction, other than the first single, it's too AOR for me. sad yes
