UncutTusk 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]
-
While the lyrics range from the stale to the surreal, the band's vibe still gels where it counts.
-
While the album's highlights shine brightly, the absence of the group's least heralded songwriter [Christine McVie] ultimately proves a significant obstacle.
-
The record shows too many signs of superstar pretension, from the thick liner notes to the grueling 76-minute length.
-
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 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.
-
BlenderStart 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]
-
If you're a fan, there's enough of what you expect from the Mac here not to disappoint.
