Some of it seems intentional, like they're going for a 'modern' type sound. I'm not a big fan of the cold modern sound myself. Still, the songwriting is top notch across the record.
LB had a pioneering sound in the day. Kinda a pre-Edge Edge. I don't hear any real hooks here. And you nailed it with the modern sound. Kinda bright, brassy.
That's interesting Coach, I had exactly the same impression on first listenings. Then I heard one of the tunes earlier today on the radio while I was doing something else, and I found myself enjoying it so I haven't given up on this album yet
I'll give it another whirl. Saw the reunited Fleetwood Mac a little while back. Stellar. The harmonies were perfect, great sound overall. Love McVie's compositions. None seem to catch my ear on the new record on first blush. My wife also loves FM. We're fans from way back.

I am a bit disappointed in the new release. The vocals aren't a warm and the arrangements are solo. Had high hopes for this one.
