EXTD=Originally Released October 3, 2006\n\nAMG EXPERT REVIEW: Lindsey
EXTD= Buckingham has released only four albums as a solo artist in 25 
EXTD=years. While he remains active as a producer and session musician
EXTD=, this is his first offering in 14 years. Those who saw Cameron C
EXTD=rowe's film Elisabethtown got a sneak peak: Buckingham's "Shut Us
EXTD= Down" was featured in the film. Under the Skin is perhaps the mo
EXTD=st nakedly visible and tender recording he's ever dropped. He wro
EXTD=te much of the set while on tour with Fleetwood Mac in 2003. Whil
EXTD=e it's true his albums are deceptively simple in terms of their p
EXTD=roduction values, there are always many layers whispering beneath
EXTD= the surface. This is the sound of that underside. Buckingham emp
EXTD=loys largely acoustic guitars on this set, and with the exception
EXTD= of the Fleetwood Mac rhythm section helping out on "Down on Rode
EXTD=o" and some orchestration by David Campbell on "Someone's Gonna C
EXTD=hange Your Mind," he mostly allows the acoustic guitar to carry h
EXTD=is impeccable sense of rhythm and time. There are a few covers on
EXTD= the set as well, a completely re-invented version of the Rolling
EXTD= Stones "I Am Waiting," and Buckingham's own unique reading of Do
EXTD=novan's "To Try for the Sun." The themes of these tunes underscor
EXTD=e a loose thread that seemingly runs throughout the album; that o
EXTD=f anticipation, holding out despite evidence that you shouldn't, 
EXTD=and the disillusionment that comes with having ambitions and drea
EXTD=ms thwarted. Almost all of these songs feel autobiographical. Tak
EXTD=e the opener "Not Too Late," where he plays plectrum style to the
EXTD= point where his guitar is almost completely glissando. Its beaut
EXTD=iful cascading notes stand in stark contrast to the melancholy ly
EXTD=rics that discuss his frustration at his solo career despite what
EXTD='s written about him, and he wonders whether or not he's fooling 
EXTD=himself. It's a striking beginning, one that looks at dreams as p
EXTD=erhaps just that, except for the childlike character in his own h
EXTD=eart that speaks to the other side of that argument. On "Show You
EXTD= How," a shimmering little rocker, a man is speeding through life
EXTD= grabbing what he can and disappearing in the process; while a lo
EXTD=ved one exhorts him to slow down in order to see what his life is
EXTD= like. The words are simple, the images come from everyday life, 
EXTD=but the razor is fine and sharp. \n\nThe title track is a gorgeou
EXTD=s love song that speaks not to restlessness but to providing comf
EXTD=ort for the Beloved's hurt and frustration. Multi-layered acousti
EXTD=c guitars play in harmony, strumming and creating a different kin
EXTD=d of glissando effect. Other cuts that stand out are the covers, 
EXTD=and "It Was You," that features one of those melodies that came p
EXTD=ouring out of his songs with Fleetwood Mac. It's a multivalent po
EXTD=p song whose melody is instantly memorable yet quirky. That it's 
EXTD=a song of gratitude for found love is something rooted in reality
EXTD=, not the illusion of dreams. It's also about the benefit of wait
EXTD=ing for that which is most fulfilling. "Cast Away Dreams" is anot
EXTD=her one of those Buckingham moments where acoustic guitars and a 
EXTD=voice coming from the ether relate a tale of travel from disappoi
EXTD=ntment and the dissolution of falsehood. It celebrates what's rea
EXTD=l no matter the price that needs to be paid. Buckingham's voice e
EXTD=merging from a warm palace of reverb underscores the faraway feel
EXTD=ing, one of transit and emergence into another space. And, of cou
EXTD=rse, there is the acoustically drenched "Shut Us Down," that is s
EXTD=o profound lyrically, it needs to be heard. For whatever reason, 
EXTD=Buckingham has stood on the margins despite the legend that is Fl
EXTD=eetwood Mac. Anyone who gives his own recordings a chance will fi
EXTD=nd in spades that it is his songs, his sounds, and his arrangemen
EXTD=ts that brought them to the pinnacle of popularity. Buckingham is
EXTD= a rare kind of songwriter: he can appeal to cognoscenti like cri
EXTD=tics, other musicians, and astute listeners alike, but he also ha
EXTD=s that mercurial ability to translate to those who look to music 
EXTD=for both sentiment and emotional fulfillment rather than study te
EXTD=chnique and method. Under the Skin, like his other recordings, ca
EXTD=n provide both satisfaction and perhaps even wonder to any listen
EXTD=er willing enough to give it a chance. It is, thus far, his maste
EXTD=rpiece, and as beautiful a pop record as can be made these days.

EXTD=er 3, 2006\nReviewer: Jason Stein (Chula Vista, CA United States)
EXTD=\nI've always liked Lindsey Buckingham's approach to popular musi
EXTD=c whether he was with Fleetwood Mac or whether he was solo. "Unde
EXTD=r The Skin" is no exception, except this time Buckingham goes for
EXTD= a more organic and acoustic approach, something he hasn't really
EXTD= tried before for an entire album. \n\nWhile "Under The Skin" has
EXTD= no true duds in terms of songwriting, songcraft and cover songs,
EXTD= it is not my favorite--that's still reserved for his 1992 effort
EXTD= "Out Of The Cradle". "Under The Skin" isn't really like "Out Of 
EXTD=The Cradle", nor is it similar to 1984's "Go Insane" or 1981's "L
EXTD=aw And Order". \n\nSonically, Buckingham paints a more dreamy por
EXTD=trait with more personal songs like "Not Too Late", which I inter
EXTD=preted as his statement about the lack of interest by the public 
EXTD=in his solo music and his desire, at age 58, to still produce mea
EXTD=ningful music. Or what about "To Try For The Sun", written by Don
EXTD=ovan but which Buckingham might be reminiscing about his early da
EXTD=ys with Stevie Nicks before joining Fleetwood Mac. Then there's "
EXTD=It Was You" which recounts his marriage and the birth of his thre
EXTD=e children. "Flying Down Juniper" seems to reflect upon the loss 
EXTD=of family and burden children shoulder from their parents' expect
EXTD=ations. I also liked his version of the Rolling Stones' "I Am Wai
EXTD=ting". \n\nOverall, "Under The Skin" is an unexpected brilliant p
EXTD=op surprise for 2006. This album isn't like anything else I've bo
EXTD=ught this year, and it's refreshing in its simplicity. Buckingham
EXTD= proves that he still has it, but then I've always liked everythi
EXTD=ng he's done. He's simply genius when it comes to making pop musi
EXTD=c with a twist, and his production wizardry adds to the experienc
EXTD=e. If you are a Buckingham fan, or a Mac fan, "Under The Skin" co
EXTD=mes highly recommended.\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nCold album
EXTD=, October 26, 2006\nReviewer: Ananiah J. Mccarrell "Ananiah McCar
EXTD=rell" (Seattle, WA)\nI listened to this album prepared to fall in
EXTD= love with it, but there was way the heck too much reverb and the
EXTD= low end was almost non-existent. I feel physically cold when lis
EXTD=tening to this album because of the lack of warmth. It sounds lik
EXTD=e it was recorded on an old tape recorder because of all the hiss
EXTD=iness of the music itself. A lot of the musical texture is lost b
EXTD=ecause the reverb and off-key layered vocals drown out most of th
EXTD=e charm of the songs. I can't say it's terrible, but I probably w
EXTD=ill only listen to it a few times. The overall quality is a step 
EXTD=up from Law & Order, but that isn't saying much. I am tempted to 
EXTD=run it into my own studio to make it half-way enjoyable. There ar
EXTD=e a few good tracks on the album, but the breathy vocals that are
EXTD= so in style at the moment are oppressive even from someone who c
EXTD=an pull it off, but the performance was so off-key on this album 
EXTD=that I cringe when I hear it. \n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nIma
EXTD=gine my surprise..., October 18, 2006\nReviewer: X "book snob, mu
EXTD=sic geek"\nI hate Fleetwood Mac. A lot. I have heard handfuls of 
EXTD=songs and the odd full album and I just don't like them, especial
EXTD=ly when Stevie Nicks is added to the equation. I don't expect peo
EXTD=ple to be happy about this, but it's the case. \n\nImagine my sur
EXTD=prise, then, hearing this CD and finding out it's good. Great, ev
EXTD=en. I didn't know anything about Buckingham as a solo artist befo
EXTD=re this CD. I'm pretty happy about this, though, as it saves me f
EXTD=rom whining about how it's not his other CDs. Listened to for wha
EXTD=t it is, and not what it wasn't, it's an excellent offering. \n\n
EXTD=Why is it excellent? It's naked, for one. A lot of people use thi
EXTD=s to describe honest lyrics, but it's hard to pin honesty when so
EXTD=meone's been at the game as long as Buckingham. What I mean is it
EXTD=s sparse nature. A lot of people are clearly upset about the use 
EXTD=of overdubs on the album, and are blinded by them. In reality the
EXTD=re are only two things here for most of the album: Lindsey's voic
EXTD=e, and an acoustic guitar. The latter is impressive, with monster
EXTD= fingerpicking sessions such as the opening track Not Too Late, o
EXTD=r used to fill in the blanks, as it's simple, percussive use on S
EXTD=how You How. It's clear it's not a pure tone... he's probably run
EXTD=ning it through something... but it's tasteful. The former, his v
EXTD=oice, is weak, and therein lies its beauty. You can hear the fain
EXTD=t cracks as well as the faint glimmers of the power he must have 
EXTD=once had at his disposal. Sure, the lyrics throughout the album a
EXTD=re introspective, if at times bordering on banal (see Not Too Lat
EXTD=e again, which is brilliant musically but a tad navel-gazing with
EXTD= the words), but the true intimacy is there no matter what he say
EXTD=s... its the voice of a man who's getting older, and trying to fi
EXTD=nd his place in the world with that knowledge. He does get a bit 
EXTD=overdub happy in the vocal department, but never fixes those flaw
EXTD=s. Remember, outside of Down on Rodeo, this is very much a solo a
EXTD=lbum... his overdubs flesh out the compositions as opposed to det
EXTD=racting from them. \n\nThe other positives of this album are simp
EXTD=ler but no less important. The musicianship and songwriting is to
EXTD=p-notch, and proves that even if I can't see it in Fleetwood Mac,
EXTD= the man still has impressive chops. The disc flows well, to me..
EXTD=. the songs all have a similar mood, though all have a slightly d
EXTD=ifferent flavour. Even the covers feel like they were written for
EXTD= the album, which brings up yet another point. I feel covers are 
EXTD=a cop-out, a cheap ploy to draw in buyers. Buckingham's choices n
EXTD=ot only feel like they belong on his album, I was even inclined t
EXTD=o believe they were his. Perhaps my relatively young age hides th
EXTD=eir recognizability, but it's much easier to respect a cover that
EXTD= feels comfortable and respectfully done than one which is sticki
EXTD=ng out in the middle of the album waving at you to notice it. Buc
EXTD=kingham's choices are done with respect, and his rendition of Don
EXTD=ovan's "To Try For the Sun" is quite possibly my favorite on the 
EXTD=album. \n\nGranted, it's not an album without flaws. The arrangem
EXTD=ents are not immediately accessable, providing a huge payoff, but
EXTD= requiring more effort than some would be willing to give. Integr
EXTD=al as his voice is to the recording, the whisper and strain takes
EXTD= some getting used to. Lyrics seem to be secondary animals to the
EXTD= music itself, and as such they suffer in places, as have the lyr
EXTD=ics of many an aging ex-hippie before him. The track "Shut Us Dow
EXTD=n," while not being bad, is rather forgettable. Still, for a man 
EXTD=I'd written off years ago simply for his musical associations, th
EXTD=is is a CD that is completely worth the investment.\n\nAMAZON.COM

EXTD=nlike his past efforts ( only 3 solo albums in a career thats las

EXTD= like a B sides and rarities collection. \n\nBut not all seems wa
EXTD=sted, there are some gems nestled along side the tired and rework

EXTD=hitect of the Fleetwood Mac sound during the band's heyday he pro
EXTD=ved that he can also be an excellent producer. However, he's appa
EXTD=rently fallen too much in love with the bells and whistles of the

EXTD= probably to create a "mood" for the album, but that loses its ch

EXTD= Ghost (The Void)\nI anxiously opened Lindsey Buckingham's latest
EXTD= work, "Under The Skin" and put it in my CD player. As a general 
EXTD=rule, it is probably a red flag when the first few lines of the f

EXTD=k which described him as a visionary. That was the case here. One

EXTD=hat LB is trying to live up to some kind of genius label. In the 
EXTD=simplest terms, this work would have been much more important (an
EXTD=d enjoyable) had LB simply decided to sing instead of whisper/moa
EXTD=n most of the songs. Obviously, he was aiming for some kind of et
EXTD=hereal feel, but one gets the feeling, on most of the tracks, tha
EXTD=t a psychotic Enya has been employed, having ingested a serious d
EXTD=ose of acid while suffering from throat problems to boot. That is
EXTD= not to say there is nothing to recommend the work: "Down On Rode
EXTD=o" is a great tune. The old Stones tune "I Am Waiting" (or is the
EXTD= title just "Waiting"? - will have to check the label) is a great
EXTD= cover and fits LB down to the ground. Obviously, the "bonus" tra
EXTD=ck with Stevie Nicks will be a crowd pleaser, but it only undersc
EXTD=ores the lack of vocal aptitude applied to the rest of the record
EXTD=. The production is OK (even when somewhat drowning out the lackl
EXTD=uster vocals), the lyrics are great and the musicianship (almost 
EXTD=all LB) is fine. The problem here is the singing (amazing since L
EXTD=B is such a great vocalist). It is clear the odd vocalizing is in
EXTD=tentional. Done, I feel sure, to communicate some underlying arti
EXTD=stic theme (which escapes me). That said, there is much to be sai
EXTD=d for just having a great tune and belting it out; Lindsey Buckin

EXTD=oduction trick in the book for his previous three records (and th
EXTD=e last three Fleetwood Mac studio albums), Under The Skin offers 
EXTD=a refreshing breather with nothing more then an old delay pedal t

EXTD= continue to play it to this day. Clearly all the Fleetwood Mac m
EXTD=aterial is deservedly legendary. The guitarwork on "Under the Ski

EXTD= did not like the overly enhanced vocals, as Lindsey and/or his p

EXTD=As I listened to the CD in my car the other night, I was praying 
EXTD=that the vocals would change as each new song began. What a letdo

EXTD= I hope that one of his roadies forgets to pack the reverb and ef
