"My favorite song on this album is actually the lone bonus track "Voyage Migrateur", which is mis-labeled as "Le Rêve" (and vice versa) on Apple Music, and maybe elsewhere. I can't put into words just how sublime that track is, or understand why it was left off the album in the first place. It may..."  [+]  Reply

"This album starts off with sleigh bells' version of a 80s hair metal crowd warmer before opening up into a typical sleigh bells riff and beat. It's a confusing open to an album that attempts a little tempo variety and loses rockin' appeal as a result. They don't even sound like their debut until ..."  [+]  Reply

"The CD-era length of "Say You Will" (approximately 70 minutes) causes the album to overstay its welcome; however, there are numerous gems throughout by Buckingham and Nicks; (McVie is missed.) Christine McVie - Fleetwood Mac's stalwart melody-maker, heaven-sent (see her: "Hold Me;" "Everywhere;" ..."  [+]  Reply

"This starts out average enough, but then quietly yields to face-melting acid haze by the second half. Check out the last four tracks, in particular...but at 28 minutes, this isn’t a time consuming album."  Reply

"These guys are classed as 2nd tier thrash behind the Big 4 giants. This album is not up to the par of the better of the Big 4's albums, you know, the Master's of Puppets, Rust in Peace, Among the Living etc. But it's a lot fucking better than a lot of the other albums they put out. Overall it's a..."  [+]  Reply

"There is a limited edition of this album, which contains the instrumental version of the full album. I love the sound of Skye, but the instrumental versions are also great and different."  Reply
