Additional Gift Of Screws Information
|
Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham will release his fifth solo album 'Gift of Screws' on September 15th on Reprise. The album is his first since 2006's acoustically focused 'Under The Skin'. Primarily recorded and self-produced at his home studio and on the road during the 'Under The Skin' tour, the album also features two songs co-produced by Rob Cavallo (Green Day, My Chemical Romance). Mixing the immediacy of the best of his contributions to Fleetwood Mac with experimental production flourishes, highlights of the set include 'Bel Air Rain', 'Time Precious Time', 'Underground, 'Love Runs Deeper' and 'Treason'. "You could certainly say this album is a distillation of a number periods of time, some false starts to make albums, certainly some songs that go back a number of years, that took a while to find a home here, combined with brand-new songs and a whole other outlook," explains Buckingham. "And the fact that there was a kind of tenacity and focus to want to bring all of this together in one place. The fact that as an artist I'm still, for better or worse, clinging to my idealism and to my sense that there is still yet much to be said. This is a culmination of that." "The first one was more of a boutique kind of album," he adds by way of comparing 'Under The Skin' with 'Gift of Screws'. "It's almost like the opening act and then the headline act in terms of the kind of approach. Here I'm bringing to bear many more aspects of what I can do - guitar solos, just rocking a lot more in addition to the other things. It does rock more! And they do seem to complement each other." The album also features the unmistakable sound of the Fleetwood Mac rhythm section, as John McVie and Mick Fleetwood contribute to several songs including the title-track and 'Wait For You'.

What Customers Say About Gift Of Screws:

I'm a huge fan of post Mac LB. "Gift of Screws" however, is nearly unlistenable for this fan. WTF.
The quality in production and sound are also stunning. Easily one of the best albums I`ve heard for a long time. The latest release from Lindsay Buckingham is simply amazing, -a real masterpiece. It`s a warm and crystal clear sound, with a wide and deep sound-image. It`s both complex and catchy at the same time, and the tunes switches between beautiful popharmonies and massive rockers. There are lot of details to discover in this luscious melodies, which will make you listen to them over and over again without being tired. In my opinion this album is far better than the previous "Under the skin", even if that one actually was quite good too. Thumbs up.
I didn't find any on this album. I was always a fan of Fleetwood Mac. His lyrics sounded flat like a beginning lyricist would write, very 2 dimensional. I decided to try one of Lindsey Buckingham's single efforts, so chose his newest effort. I had read other reviews of this album which said it had fantastic guitar work on it, he has done some fantastic work with Mac. He doesn't sound like a very experienced musician and songwriter, which he is. I don't care to talk about the songs because they are not worth the effort to me and obviously were not worth the effort to him.
He is recycling the same guitar riffs and techniques over and over on these albums. Lindsey is a killer songwriter/producer/guitarist.a TRUE Hall of Famer. However.his last 3 or 4 albums (including the fleetwood mac album "say you will") have all had a similar vibe to them. It was new and exciting the first couple of times he used them.because they were fast and unique. But its getting a bit tiresome now.
This is a must have for any fan of modern day music or Fleetwood mac. This is another good cd i found from a recommendtation from a friend of mine. lindsey Buckingham does a great job on this accoustic rock album. This def. has a modern twist to it, which is something that I liked about this cd.
