Album Description
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'.

 Great cd December 27, 2008
At first listen I wasn't quite sold on this disc so I thought I would give it a few months before reviewing it. After repeated listens this cd gets better and better. This is a great cd if you are a fan of LB's solo material. I enjoyed "Out of the Cradle" and "Under The Skin" however I think this one has slightly better songs and the songs are more memorable. My only problem with this one is the vocals are too far back in the mix. He's an excellent singer and his vocals should be up front and center. As usual, the guitar playing by LB is fantastic. He's on a roll....maybe he'll put out another one soon!
Great Day! December 24, 2008
Virtuoso guitar - Lindsey rocks.
Deep down there is freedom, deep down there will be a reason.
At the end of the season we will rise from this treason.
Lindsey Buckingham December 21, 2008
Please do not rate album until you have listened to it several time. His fret work is unsurpassed and his singing is as strong and pleasant as ever.
Another Great One December 13, 2008

Go Insane, Out of the Cradle, Under the Skin and now this. He uses less instruments than Insane and Cradle, but is becoming such a virtuoso on acoustic guitar you dont notice. I got it today and have probably heard it 5 times so far.
 OK, But Not His Best November 24, 2008
Buckingham is a gifted musician, and many rock critics no doubt love this album because it is not very commercial, but I find the overall lack of accessibility somewhat disappointing. "Did you miss me" has decent hooks, but only a couple of the other songs will stick in your memory. And some of the songs, particularly the relentless "Time precious Time" and the title track, are nearly headache-inducing. Those unfamiliar with Buckingham might want to start with "Out of the Cradle," his most accessible album, and should try to get their hands on his big hit "Trouble," a beautiful pop/rock song from an otherwise strange album ("Law and Order").
