This is a Limited Editon 2 CD set with exclusive bonus 4 track CD.
Although SAY YOU WILL is Fleetwood Mac's first album without longtime singer/songwriter/keyboardist Christine McVie as a full participant (she appears only as a guest musician), the album nevertheless harks back to the frothy sound of 1982's MIRAGE, if not the '70s L.A. studio-pop glory of RUMOURS. Singer/guitarist Lindsay Buckingham's production still boasts pleasing quirks aplenty ("Red Rover," "Murrow Turning Over in His Grave"), and his trademark acoustic fingerpicking licks underpin many of the tunes in a winning way. Buckingham and Stevie Nicks share the songwriting duties, and their writing and singing styles still mesh as well as they did in their pre-Mac days as Buckingham /Nicks. SAY YOU WILL manages to sound fresh without resorting to anything as embarrassing as grafting hip-hop rhythms or electronica effects onto the group's classic pop tunes, and though it all sounds far from dated, you probably wouldn't blink twice if told this was the lost, unreleased follow-up to MIRAGE.

Say You Will (2003) 6/8/06 For all the people criticizing this album I have something to say to you. What do you expect? Havent Fleetwood Mac made enough legendary music for one lifetime? They cant keep coming out with the stuff of the late 70's. That was then, this is now. And besides, do you hear newer artists coming out with music that sounds this good? Goodbye Baby is absoultely beautiful and the title track is very proressive sounding. Say Goodbye is absoulte crap however. This album could be better if there werent 18 songs with most of them being filler. Submitted by keithsilvers (Wausau, WI., USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Absolutely Terrible!!! This is the worst album Fleetwood Mac has done - the songs are jibberish, and the sound engineer should be fired. I purchased this cd in high anticipationj and the result is a waste of money. Submitted by Jack (Salem, Or, USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Fleetwood Mac's Best Album I think this is Fleetwood Mac's best album....Stevie Nicks shines throughout with songs like "Thrown Down", "Silver Girl" and the rocking "Destiny Rules"....Lindsey Buckingham's guitar work is superb, "Bleed to Love Her" is one of his best songs....I do miss Christine McVie's great songs and vocals, maybe she'll rejoin the group someday.....Even without her, this is an excellent album.
