    Tusk this isn't, but Tusk it doesn't need to be. In an age of off-the-shelf LInda Perry pop, the Mac keep the mainstream interesting. [May 2003, p.98]
  2. The album is a randomly sequenced display of Fleetwood Mac's best instincts: Buckingham's bittersweet tunes about playing for keeps; Nicks' tough, swirly songs about fragile and wicked women; and the experiments the group can't stop indulging in.
  3. 60
    Start the 18-song album in the middle, and embarrassments like Nicks's "Illume (9-11)" reced behind love songs that exorcise pain with an accusatory chorus and a skein of guitars. [May 2003, p.116]
  4. There are too many songs, simply too much to make Say You Will work, even if there is enough to admire to make you wish it did.

    The band really tried hard to do a good album without Christine and sometimes it works (Goodbye Baby, Steal Your Heart Away) and other times it doesn't (Red Rover). I like to listen to it though. Expand
