Oblgny,
I'm a huge fan of Say You Will. Oddly, it kind of reminds me of Tusk in that neither record is very coherent to my ear - Say You Will sounds like two solo albums stapled together and Tusk sounds like three solo records stapled together. In both cases, the messy clash of songwriting sensibilities works to increase the appeal of the records for me - there's a sense of creative energy that I really relate to.
Relative to Tusk, I find that Say You Will suffers from the lack of Christine McVie tracks and Dave Stewart's hit and miss production on the Stevie Nicks tracks. However,the Buckingham tracks on Say You Will are collectively my favorite of any of his contributions to Fleetwood Mac albums, so the record is on my short list of all-time favorites.
I really love both records, but if I had to choose one, I'd also pick Say You Will.
