Análisis (en inglés) - Yahoo! Music - Mike Lipton :
After 17 years, the principal members of Fleetwood Mac have set aside their differences and given it another long-awaited go, albeit without Christine McVie, who opted to retire after the group's 1997 tour. The result is an unwieldy, 18-song opus that clocks in at nearly 80 minutes. The short take is that the disc is evenly split between Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham tunes, with Buckingham's tracks essentially being taken from an almost-completed solo record. Buckingham's "What's The World Coming To" leads off with a familiar-sounding Mac-styled pop song that you might attribute to Nicks. Unfortunately, he follows it up with the completely overwrought "Murrow Turning Over In His Grave." The song is further sabotaged by his guitar work, which, in this case, is more forced and frenetic than inspired. Not so on "Illume" where, with Nicks assuming a Patti Smith attitude, Buckingham adds the kind of sonically adventurous guitar work that helped elevate FM above ordinary FM pop. To that end, Buckingham contributes far more to fleshing out Nicks' songs than she adds to his. "Peacekeeper" and "Smile At You" are good examples, with Buckingham adding textures that make the tracks stand out. Nick's title track points to the downside of the collaboration, a half-hearted, too smooth--and instantly forgettable--pop song. Ditto with "Running Through The Garden," which will certainly test your tolerance for her voice. Depending on your POV, oddball tracks like the hypnotic "Come" (which morphs into a self-indulgent Zeppelinesque rocker), "Say Goodbye" and "Red Rover," which let Buckingham show off his Flamenco chops, add a welcome wild card--or could have been axed. Other standouts include the soaring "Bleed To Love Her," "Destiny" (driven by the rhythm section of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie) and the gorgeous closer "Goodbye Baby." Bottom line, there's simply too much material to digest at one (or two?) sittings. Perhaps breaking this up into two albums would have been a wiser (and more profitable?) move.
