Free Music Review: My Reviews are like a Circus Wheel-Changing All the Time........
Hit: 5 Stars
People- if you have been following my reviews closely (which I'm sure you haven't) you would know poor Metamorpho's life was careening out of control. But, this is what one gets by being free enough to write anything they want in any given manner, at any given moment, on any given day. I see that some of you are not fully appreciative of my reflections. That is o.k. What was I expecting? Perfection? From the human race? You all knew I was a loving soul but taking advantage of my naivity is not nice people. Not nice at all. But Metamorpho does not hold grudges and desires to still review worthy music for all of you. And, in an attempt to simplify, have I got worthy music for you!
This time out, we have the excellent first album by the new, revamped Fleetwood Mac (with the inclusion of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks) in the self titled album released in 1975. It has always boggled my mind why their next album "Rumours" was so mega while this gem was virtually overlooked. In many was it was the precursor to the emotions expressed in that album, and in my opinion, just as valid. Sadly, I have no control over what the masses decide. Choose your own examples.
But as pop-rock classics go this is one gem of an album. Many, many songs about the tangled web we weave in love relationships. And indecision rears it's laughing face at even single turn. In "Monday Morning" we have Lindsey Buckingham bemoaning the fact that his love is very inconsistent. He remains focused while she remains not sure. He "can't go on believing for long" which reflects the tiring of the situation. The music is cleverly written in a stop and go manner. "Warm Ways" by Christine McVey is a gentle, soothing love song embellished by a tender moment. But give her time. The trembling within the ground will start to appear. "Blue Letter" is a jaunty song by Lindsey. However, this time, he has tired of the situation started in the first song and he "won't be waiting around" for it to change.
We next come to the ethereal realm of Stevie Nicks with "Rhiannon". It is evident that she cannot be tied down to be anyone's consistent lover. One minute she is like a cat, and then the other minute she's like a bird. She is a complex creature that can't decide on one mind. Written basically in one chord- the band does an excellent job embellishing this with texture. "Crystal" is an amazing song due to it's wave-like movement as Lindsey realizes he has been immersed by his love which drives him for a clensing to the sea. Alternately, he is being engulfed by it as well.
"Over My Head" by Christine is a sprightly pop tune filled with paradoxes. She realizes her relationship is filled with trade-offs which are disturbing. On the one hand she is thrilled by the tender moments but they come at the price of her lover being cold and hurting her pride. A very uncomfortable situation. This theme is also revisited in her other song "Say You Love Me". Christine is an expert in writing infectious, easy groove pop tunes. We then come to "Landslide" which I think is the ultimate gem on this album. Stevie Nicks is soul-searching, trying to make sense of all her intricate feelings. Just when she thinks she has finally found herself by seeing her reflection in the snow, it is swept away by a landslide, forcing her to search again. Love the acoustic guitar. Love the lilting melody. It is majestic and perfectly reflects our own quests of who we are and how we fit into the world.
"World Turning" is about how the outside world imposes it's judgements and how we, although questioning it's wisdom, just need someone to make us face another day. Lindsey gives us a nice twangy guitar riff juxtaposed against a frazzled state of mind. "Sugar Daddy" is about Christine's need for a true lover and someone with money to take care of her. It is clear she would like one person to be all this - however, in her mind, they have become seperate.
Finally, "I'm So Afraid" is the heart of darkness that Lindsey must confront in his search for love. Our fears, it seems, not only lie in outside reality, but within ourselves as well. It is cleverly written in the pattern of a heartbeat. What I find most amazing about good music is that both the lyrics and the music work in sych to convey a mood. It is a magic that is such a joy to creative minds.
In closing, all the seeds of emotions planted here came to fruition with "Rumours". In my mind, it is definitely just as excellent. I think what it had going against it was the fact that it went more pop as opposed to previous Fleetwood Mac albums. Coupled with the fact that the previous fan base may have resented this and alot of people had not yet caught on to the new sound. In any event, if you enjoyed "Rumours" then this album is an essential counterpart and should definitely be included in your collection.
Well I did it people. I wrote a review without Metamorpho's excessive ego running wild. (Yeah, right). I will be back again, I am sure, to bring you more worthy music. Until then, may the glow from all the lightbulbs in your mind shine bright and strong, guiding all of you through the darkness. Stay well my people. Your own - Metamorpho

With the "classic" Fleetwood Mac and departed guitarists Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer a fading memory, namesakes and rhythm section Mick Fleetwood (drums) and John McVie (bass), along with second generation survivor Christine McVie (vocals, keyboards), let go of their British blues heritage and linked with a failed Californian pop-rock duo, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks. That move, born of desperation, yields this 1975 classic: unveiling a taut, well-oiled pop rock band boasting three distinctive singers and songwriters in Buckingham, Nicks, and Christine McVie; Buckingham's extraordinary arrangements and versatile acoustic and electric guitars; and the undeniable horsepower of the founding fathers' rock-solid rhythm work. Buckingham's rave-ups, Nicks's sultry rock ballads, and Christine McVie's soulful, sunny pop form the template for Rumours, which would follow two years later. --Sam Sutherland
Given their monumental legacy, it's hard to imagine that the so-called "classic edition" of Fleetwood Mac essentially came together casually over chips and margaritas at an L.A. eatery; the then-obscure duo of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks (whose own mid-'70s debut album had initially gone almost straight to the cut-out bins) became the crucial axis of the legendary band without so much as a formal audition. As the eponymous title suggests, the 1975 Mac realignment seems like a fresh start, though tracks like Christine McVie's smooth-jazz inflected "Warm Ways" hearken back to the Bob Welch/Bare Trees/Heroes Are Hard to Find era. But it's Buckingham's compelling, updated take on '60s California folk-pop, informed by the mystique of Nicks's proto-New Age song-sorceress presumptions, that breathed new life into the veteran, chameleonic band on now-familiar songs like "Monday Morning" and "Rhiannon." His chemistry with McVie is no less powerful, yielding such Mac staples as their collaboration "World Turning" and suffusing her "Over My Head" with nervous, insistent guitar rhythms. This deluxe, remastered edition features the significantly different single mixes of "Say You Love Me," "Rhiannon," "Over My Head," and "Blue Letter" (the latter previously unissued), as well as the moody, also unreleased studio workout "Jam #2." Parke Puterbaugh's newly penned liner notes offer concise, thoughtful insights into the genesis of one of rock's greatest, if most unlikely, rebirths. --Jerry McCulley
