    In Your Dreams, Nicks' first studio album since 2001, is also streaked with the witchy-woman weirdness only she can bring.

    The production doesn't always give Nicks's gothic imagery enough waft, but fans will love puzzling over which of her paramours she's recalling on Secret Love.

    For all the juvenilia of the songwriting, the production on In Your Dreams is an oldster's abomination, lacquering dated MOR bombast over intermittently inspired melodies that wilt on impact.

    It's amazing that 4 decades into an incredible career Stevie Nicks has released her best solo album ever. There are so many amazing songs on this record that it's difficult to pick a favorite, and there isn't one bad song in the bunch. "Moonlight", "Annabel Lee" and "New Orleans" approach Fleetwood Mac levels of greatness. "Secret Love" is a well-written song from the Rumours days. "For What It's Worth" sounds like a modern "Landslide". "In Your Dreams" and "Everybody Loves You" are very catchy and sound like potential singles, and "Wide Sargasso Sea" and "Ghosts Are Gone" crank up the electric guitars. Nicks hasn't sang so well on an album since 1982's The Wild Heart. This album is a classic.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Score (10.0) Asi její nejlepší album. Poslouchal jsem ho pÅi práci bez jakéhokoli ruÅ¡ivého momentu, to už mám vyzkouÅ¡ené nesÄetnÄkrát a musím jí vzdát hold, není tam jediná slabší píseÅ, naopak - kterákoli by se u nás mohla stát písní roku. Je to i zásluhou producentů: David A. Stewart / Glen Ballard, z nichž ten první is a Grammy and BRIT Award winning, spolu se Stevie zpívá v "Cheaper Than Free" . Hlas má Stevie stále ve vynikající kondici. Na tomto albu se podílí 52 lidí, opÄt nechybí Lori Nicks & Sharon Celani na pozici backing vocals (jsou už na prvním albu "Bella Donna" (Autumn 1980-Spring1981), pÅíklad vÄrnosti. Která naÅ¡e zpÄvaÄka má 30 let stejné vokalistky? PÅitom právÄ dvoj a trojhlasy jsou charakteristickým znakem celé tvorby SN. John McBride (+ 4 others)/Engineer; Greg Leisz/Mandolin; Mike Campbell/Bass, Composer, Drums, Guitar, Keyboards, Lap Steel Guitar, Percussion, Producer; Chris Lord-Alge/Mixing; Mick Fleetwood, Chad Cromwell, Steve Ferrone (+1)/Drums; Lindsey Buckingham (+7)/Guitar..., atd. => Å¡piÄková sestava. Stephen Thomas Erlewine dává albu 4* na Allmusic. Poslouchal jsem ho bezprostÅednÄ po Karen Elson - albu "The Ghost Who Walks", to byla vÅ¡ak pouze vstupní síÅ. Po nástupu Stevie Nicks jsem zůstal mrtvý a jsem v tomto stavu až doteÄ. Äeské album NTS 2011 a Stevie Nicks 2011 dostávají 5* a vedou Taisí-Äek Top Albums, což se zÅejmÄ promítne do výsledků 5th Tais Awards 2012.

    This is what it's all about people! Real music, something that's very rare now. "In Your Dreams" is one album that's in a class by itself. Thank you Stevie, simply a masterpiece!… Expand
