With 'Lindsey Buckingham,' the Fleetwood Mac guitarist pushes his trademark sound into another decade to enjoyable results. Read ethangordonbeck's review:
, but he’s kept busy in the meantime. Along with delivering a soaring guitar solo on The Killers’ “Caution,” Buckingham has had a heart attack, damaged his vocal cords, gotten divorced and was fired from Fleetwood Mac, all since 2018. Now that he’s gearing up to release his solo first album in 10 years, he’s picked a public fight with Fleetwood Mac vocalist Stevie Nicks for kicking him out of the band, another dose of the drama and stubbornness that he’s always engaged with.
, he’s stuck with the textures and sounds he’s most comfortable with. From programmed and often chunky drumwork to sterling, clean electric guitars, all of which is often laced with the goofiest synthesizers you could dream of, Buckingham has created a distinct style for his solo material—one that often implies he needs his Fleetwood Mac bandmates to bounce ideas off.
Thankfully, there’s a single song on this album where the percussion absolutely makes the song. With “Swan Song,” Buckingham has programmed an relentlessly pushing, drum- and bass-tinged beat that only adds to the song’s paranoid, strained atmosphere. Using healthy doses of reverb, processed vocals, and harmonies, he turns the chorus of “Swan Song” into a monument for making the most tense Lindsey Buckingham song possible.
