Buckingham Nicks (5/5.05/5.05/5.05/5.05/5.0)
One of the greatest albums ever!
Review written by Matty (juella90@eircom.net) from Ireland, August 15th, 2004

This record rocks! A timeless, classic album. "Long Distance Winner" sounds incredable, as does "Frozen Love". "Stephanie" and "Lola (My Love)" are great tracks also, I love Lindsey's guitar playing on this album. His solo in "Frozen Love" is one of the finest I've ever heard! Stevie's song "Races Are Run" is beautiful. GET THIS ALBUM!

Say You Will (5/5.05/5.05/5.05/5.05/5.0)
Excellent stuff!
Review written by Anonymous from Ireland, August 12th, 2004

This album rocks! All 18 of these songs are amazing. "Smile At You", "Murrow Turning Over In His Grave", "Come", "Destiny Rules" man, these are awsome tracks. Buckingham's production is excellent. This album also has the definitive studio version of "Bleed To Love Her" with a nice solo at the end, consisting of some trademark Lindsey Buckingham licks. It's kinda weird not having Christine on this album, but she sings backup on "Bleed To Love Her". I definetly recommend this.

Tusk (5/5.05/5.05/5.05/5.05/5.0)
TUSK-a rock n' roll masterpiece!
Review written by Matty (juella90@eircom.net) from Ireland, August 1st, 2004

Tusk. What an amazing album. I've never heard the CD version, instead I bought the vinyl double album off of ebay cos:
a) I like vinyl
b) Artwork tends to be better on vinyl
c) The record has the proper version of "Sara"
Anyway, It took a couple of spins for me to really take to this album, but once I did I realised it is one of the greatest albums of all time! Lindsey Buckinghams songs are quite unique. On songs like "Tusk" "Thats All For Everone" "The Ledge" and the majestic "Walk A Thin Line" He manages to create some incredable sounds. There is a certain cohesion between Buckinghams songs, like an album within an album. Stevie Nicks also contributed some excellent songs, "Storms" is beautiful and I like the irony of the very calm, mellow feel of this song and lines like " I have always been a storm". "Sara" is a really stunning track. Stevie sings with (as always) a great sense of dynamics, and the arrangement and production is amazing. "Beautiful Child" is another great tune. Christine McVie's songs tend to be a bit more like the type of stuff on "Rumours" but the arrangements are a bit different. "Think About Me", "Over And Over", and "Brown Eyes" rock! I would definetly recommend this album!!
