Unfortunately this was the last studio album that the full Rumours line-up recorded together... which, in one way was a wise decision because they went out with a bang. On the other hand, it was a disappointment for fans because they felt that the Mac was, and if that line-up ever reformed, still are capable of producing better. It's not that this is a bad album... there were a few let downs on it.
The stand out tracks for me would have to be Seven Wonders (Stevie Nicks, Sandy Stewart) and Isn't It Midnight (Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham and Eddy Quintela). Seven Wonders struck me first of all because it was a surprisingly upbeat track compared to Stevie's past work. The synthesizers really add to this feel-good track, with Stevie's vocals being on top form as usual. Isn't It Midnight is a great rock tune, definitely one of my favourite Christine tunes. The guitar in it really makes you want to pick oen up yourself and play the riffs and solos... or at least pretend to play it along with this great track. Another excellent track is Caroline, by Lindsey Buckingham. Excellent drumming and a pounding, catchy chorus are what set this apart from the rest of the tracks... Christine's vocals during the intro and the outro add to the feeling of the song... this woman seems unstoppable!
