Let’s see, I first heard “Landslide” when my friend Jonathan (more like my friend’s older brother’s friend, but still) covered it at a school talent show. That is a perfect song. *checks notes* <\/em>WAIT A SECOND. Okay. No “Landslide” to look forward to. That’s fine. I first heard of Stevie Nicks thanks to Joan Cusack in School Of Rock<\/em> (side note: watched that movie with my kid the other day, and it holds up). I first heard “Go Your Own Way” in a commercial sometime in the last three years. The two biggest pushes, however, were: 1) an Adam Tod Brown article from like 12 years ago on Cracked.com<\/em> talking about how Lindsey Buckingham is a guitar god in ways not enough people give him credit for, and 2) Brendan saying this is one of the best albums ever made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n I’m not sure why I’ve never listened to it all the way through, but I am not kidding when I say that this album is the reason for this column series. Honestly, I might keep this column series going for as long as the blog exists. It’s fun, and it’s a good excuse to listen to music I’ve never heard. It is also my hope that you, reading this, feel a little more okay about never having seen The Godfather<\/em> or Casablanca<\/em> or never having read Hemingway or Gwendolyn Brooks or never listening to Sade or Chaka Khan. Then, yknow\u2014you’re supposed go out and experience that art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n TRACK BY TRACK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n As if this album couldn’t be more hyped, Apple Music slaps it with a 100 GREATEST ALBUMS tag. I’m a little nervous it’s been too hyped for me. Eh who has time to get nervous. Let’s go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Second Hand News<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Interesting opening song! You gotta really believe in a song that has vocals so early to have it lead the record. Personally, I have never had enough confidence in vocals to begin without some instrumental-based hook. Even weight of an anchor<\/a><\/em>, which begins with a cover of a Bahamian folk song, has the instrumental hook of modulating to the minor key. All of this is dancing around the fact that there’s a certain square folk musicians<\/em> quality to this song that prevents me from loving it immediately. It’s a solid track, though. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Dreams<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"album](\"https:\/\/www.lazyandentitled.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/image-3.png\")
