Tusk

Sara. El disco bonito pero rollo.

Legal, nota 4. Muito parado. A mulher cantando é muito melhor!

So great!

Started slow got better during end. Buckingham songs were highlight

A more "modern" Fleetwood Mac at the time, but still sounds like Fleetwood Mac. Some songs had a lot of radio play.

There’s nothing catchy, nothing stands out. I don’t like this one as much as other Fleetwood Mac’s albums. [0120/1001]

Nice album, Fleetwood Mac aren't as big in Brazil as here, so I don't know a lot (except for Dreams playing at my dentist's office) so nice to listen to some more stuff, but not their best I'd say :)

Pre-Listening: 1. I love Lindsey Buckingham and think he’s a wildly underrated songwriter, producer, and guitarist. 2.) I think Christine McVie is a fantastic songwriter and most of my favorite Fleetwood Mac songs are McVie tunes. 3.) I think Stevie Nicks is crazy overrated and I think Stevie Nicks’ Fleetwood Mac songs are overexposed, and maybe I once liked them but not anymore because I can never escape them. 4.) This album, with Nicks-Buckingham’s relationship over, curiously has few Nicks songs and many Buckingham and Christine McVie songs. That means I have hope that I’m going to like this one. From what I’ve read it’s like a Buckingham fever dream. 5.) For anyone who is unfamiliar with Fleetwood Mac and the interpersonal turmoil that fed their songwriting, you should read about it. It’s crazy. In short, there are two couples in the band that broke up during the writing and recording of the previous album to this one, Rumours, and that album ended up being one of the most successful — both critically and by album sales — of all time. Many of the songs are bitterly directed at other members of the band, and I don’t think there’s been anything similar to it in the history of modern music. Listening: Calm McVie song, then The Ledge which is pretty manic. Another calm McVie song. Then, what seems like a Buckingham spiritual. Nicks’ Sara, an overplayed radio song. There’s more soap opera drama behind this song too if you look it up. That’s Enough for Me - much needed energy from Buckingham with a fuzzy bass underneath. Buckingham’s guitar works elevates Nicks’ Sisters of the Moon. Three good Buckingham tunes carry the back half of the album: I Know I’m Not Wrong - Sounds like all the Buckingham songs are still about Nicks. Can’t blame him, she did a number on him, including having an affair with the drummer, Mick Fleetwood. Two more songs which may be the best on the album: Walk A Thin Line and Tusk. Is this a great album? Nah. I do feel confirmation that all Buckingham songs kind of sound the same, all McVie songs kind of sound the same, and all Nicks songs sound the same. I just like the Buckingham songs better.

I don't know if a half hungover 2-hour drive home after a bachelor party is the best way to review an album, but this might have been the best album for this environment. No major standout songs. No real highs or lows. A steady enjoyable sound. That being said, when I want to listen to Fleetwood Mac I won't be coming here.

Some bangers, some misses.

It’s not my favorite for them but I still enjoyed it.

I like the Ledge, That’s Enough for Me, and I also kind of like Tusk

Listened first to Tusk, and I enjoyed it, but I think from the reviews I’m reading it seems like the way to truly understand and possibly appreciate this album is to listen to the whole thing because it’s said to be so chaotic and disparate. So I will try to do that at some point.

Melódico- Trankilator

Fascinating mix of R&B and bluegrass influences. It lacks the catchiness of other albums by Fleetwood Mac. Enjoyable, a bit offbeat.

Mid, tbh. Good, but

It’s okay

Everything by buckingham-5 stars. Everything by the other 2-2 stars. This averages to a 3.

Some good songs - some weird songs. Better than I thought it would be.

I mean rumours is a very difficult album to follow and some of these songs are very good but each one doesn't feel unique and different. They all kind of meld into one. It's definitely not a bad album and there are some good songs on here. But it's just not got that kind of replayability. It's just quite samey

Another good album by Fleetwood Mac, easy listening but not an album I'll regularly return to on my own accord. A few good songs, several that are forgettable or sound too similar for my tastes.

Why is it more famous as Rumors? Because of Tusk? Ok, but the rest is nothing special, all la-la-la songs. The Ledge and Sara are a bit better, but that's all.

Although it took me by surprise, I really like the change in main vocals on this album. I previously thought no one can top Stevie's voice but then a Buckingham song comes on and I had myself a great debate. I think the draw of this album is that manic, disorganized feel that it does really well. It goes from lo-fi and mellow to banging on a shed and I love it for that. No other band could do this better so caps off. 3.5 stars because I love Fleetwood Mac.

Pretty solid album. I can't say there are any bad songs on it. At the same time I can't say there are any great songs on it. I appreciate the mixed vocals but Stevie Nicks vocals tend to elevate a song up a notch compared to the others. Some of the quick hit songs are fun, but I can't say I'll come back to this album with better Fleetwood options out there. 2.84 stars.

Not their best

Sara. El disco bonito pero rollo.

I totally enjoyed when the marching band entered into the performance.

Prima, maar ook weer niet dat ik denk, ik ga nummers hiervan opslaan of vaker luisteren.. 2,7

Didn’t love it. Some songs were really good but most didn’t click with me. Didn’t love the recording either. Favourites: - Storms - Sisters of the Moon - Brown Eyes - Never Make Me Cry - Tusk

Good album

Okay….didn‘t catch me

I expected better honestly. The album wasn't bad. Wasn't great either.

IT'S OK-EASY LISTENING. SHAME LINDSAY BUCKINGHAM IS OVERSHADOWED. i LIKE FLEETWOOD MAC IN ITS EARLY DAYS

Good music but not a favorite from the band.

Good album. Classic rock greats

Over and Over not exactly a ripper of an opener. The Ledge picks things up but not exactly something I’d want to listen to again. It’s at least musically interesting. Think About Me is kind of just there. Not offensive, not great. Save Me A Place tries to be ambitious. Kind of see this sound later with REM. More interesting than actually good to listen to. Sara sounds like a more traditional Fleetwood Mac song, very pretty. What Makes You Think You’re The One is a rowdy Buckingham number. Not bad. Storms is pretty, another song that actually sounds like a FM track. That’s All for Everyone is fun, kind of wacky. Sounds like it was more fun to make than listen to. Not That Funny is not that good either. Abrasive. Sisters of the Moon is atmospheric, good beat. Angel has me convinced I’m Team Stevie not Team Lindsey That’s Enough For Me is a rollicking Lindsey song. A little frantic and fun. Brown Eyes is a pretty Christine song. Bit meandering. Never Make Me Cry is another pretty Christine song. Not really memorable. I Know I’m Not Wrong is another LB jam, a little more reserved and the better for it. Honey Hi is another Christine song, pretty but slight Beautiful Child is a longer Stevie song, not bad Walk A Thin Line is pretty good, layered and solid. Maybe my favorite song on this weird album. Tusk follows almost like a blend and it’s boisterous and fun Album closer Never Forget has some nice playing on it. Pleasant enough way to end the sprawling album. Was this a double LP when it was released? It has 20 songs on it. 6/10

How do you follow up on the greatest album of all time? Throw a whole lot of shit at the wall and see what sticks. Luckily this is Fleetwood Mac so most of it does. Still too long though. 7/1001

Subdued album - not bad but I think they have had better albums

Liked it okay but will have to re-listen when not hungover

Tusk

The first Fleetwood Mac album I listened to was "Then Play On" and I was fascinated. In my opinion it should have been on the list instead of "Tusk". Still some nice songs on "Tusk", but not quite the style I like.

It’s alright. About the same level as their rumors album.

2.7

I love the title track so much but I find the other ones a little bit repetitive, and that's a pity

The album is boring, but the band itself is top

Still can’t get into Fleetwood Mac but really don’t dislike it either

Bit of a drag Very samey

Nice easy happy-to-have-on-without-listening music.

Easy listening and varied.

Have never listened to the Tusk album before! Knew a few of the songs. I enjoyed a more toned down, atmospheric Fleetwood album

I like it a lot. Jag lyssnar allt för lite på musik från 70 och 80-talet och det känns som att det är en guldgruva, om jag bara vågar öppna upp mig själv för det. Det här var ingenting jag normalt sätt hade lyssnat på, men jag gillade det verkligen. 5.5/10

This album could be about eight tracks shorter to address some of the songs that suck. That said, between Sara, Tusk, and Sisters of the Moon, the album is still anchored into importance. A very fine start with the first track and then we hit... 'The Ledger'. What the hell is that?! Sort of one of the most terrible yet most bouncy songs I've ever heard. Is this supposed to be fun? 'Think About Me' is a more traditional FM song, though somewhat uninspired guitar that sort of spills out in measures. 'Save Me a Place' enters and exits like badly wilted lettuce, never reaching its intention. Then boom, 'Sara'. Arguably one of the greatest example of FM's fine vocals. Spare musical accompaniment is pitch perfect and the scant brushes on the high hat. It makes you wish you knew a Sara-- or wish you knew THIS Sara. when you build your house, call me has to be one of the most romantic lines ever. How they ever talked themselves into 'What Makes You Think You're the One' on the heels of Sara is just beyond me. Why anyone else besides Stevie Nicks is allowed to sing on a FM is like ludicrous. WTF thought that was a good idea even?! A few lackluster tracks follow until we hit 'It's Not That Funny' which actually is not funny at all and is a real travesty for the ears. I was unable to determine which was less funny: the vocals or the keyboard. What an inconsistent album 'Sisters of the Moon' brings us back to life. Damn that slow steady intro with Stevie Nicks howling at the moon is launching me into the stratosphere. This is a jam and I've never even heard it before. Drums are fire. Guitar is fire. Stevie is hot as the sun. Damn I could not like this more. There are a number of tracks that follow that aren't standouts to me until we hit the title track. There are so few lyrics here, it's just so hard to believe how powerful it is. Always loved this track. Witchcraft.

Amazing that while I have never actively sought out listening to a Fleetwood Mac album, I knew almost every song on Rumors. Interesting that only one song on the follow-up, Tusk, even sounded vaguely familiar. More Stevie Nicks would have bumped this up, love her voice.

I didn’t actually finish this. It started with a bunch of Christine McVie songs and then I skipped to Sara and then to Tusk and then I went and listened to rumors bc that’s a five and 👌

the similarities in the openings of some of these songs is surprising, but i love that beat. not my favorite of their albums, not melody focused enough for me and listening to the album in order doesn’t really add to my experience of the songs. love fleetwood mac tho

ok, but its no Rumours

I mean.. how do you follow up Rumours? Even still.. seems just “mailed in” except for Sara. Fine. Just.. fine.

3.5 - 3.0 overall but .5 for Tusk

Cool

Nice album, not their strongest but some decent tunes

It's good, it's relaxed, it's easy listening. There's not a lot of of undeniable hooks, sisters of the moon is an absolute hit though. It seems like a good album for drives, as background music while not paying too much attention to it. Especially the second half really overstays its welcome, it just gets boring – personal taste, but still. 5-6/10

Bof

Really uneven. I just don't get this lists obsession with the sprawling, double album sets that lean into bands worst tendencies.

Man. I guess there's a reason why FMs greatest hits is basically Rumors with a few other songs.

nice one, couple of classics

A couple good songs, but certainly not the best album by the group. Lindsey got a little experimental in quite a few tracks.

Fleetwood Mac's next attempt after two great albums. It's ok.

I've never been a huge Fleetwood Mac fan, but I do enjoy "Rumors". This album is nothing like "Rumors". I have to appreciate their willingness to just throw everything at the wall. Not all of it sticks, obviously, but it is a fun listen.

Tusk, interesting. Not much thought on the rest.

Very Fleetwood Mac

I've owned this album over 30 years. I never liked it much. There are barely enough good songs to make one just ok album. I get they were following up Rumors and wanted to do something different, but they're a pop music band without the catchy tunes. This is a record and a half of crappy music. I'd take anything off the Peter Greene albums or the 1st two Nicks/Buckingham albums over any of this. 3 stars is being hugely generous. This album doesn't belong on this list.

If you cut the 8 tracks written by Lindsey Buckingham you'd be left with a much stronger 12 track album. Rating: 3/5 Playlist track: Sara Date listened: 31/10/23

Like everything with this band, this album has a lot of history, and that history is pretty rocky. The band wasn’t looking to make a copy of their wildly famous *Rumours*, and Buckingham had very different ideas for this recording, even going to far as to be a bit on the experimental side. The title track, by the way, is unassailable. Pretty much the best thing the band ever did.

# 98 : I LOVE TUSK. My favourite FM song by far. In saying that though, this album is quite average, It’s got a couple of good songs, but also some drawn out fillers. Favourite Track : Tusk Listened : 30/10/2023

stevie nicks is a queen & the other singers suck. only really vibing when she comes on. there's some real stinkers on this album.

Surullinen Rumourssin seuraaja! Liian paisunut kokonaisuus. Periaatteessa levyllä on hyviä biisejä mutta ne kyllä hukkuu kaiken muun joukkoon. 3/5

Ok

Obwohl das Album monoton klingt, kann ich keinen richtigen „Albumfluss“ raushören. Hört sich überwiegend an wie Tankstellenmusik, aber gute Tankstellenmusik. Lindsey Buckingham hat eine geile Stimme. Songs, die es in meine Mediathek geschafft haben: - That‘s All For Everyone (hätte ein gutes Outro sein können) - Sisters of the Moon (sehr gut) Sind zwar 3 Sterne, für mich aber eig eher was zwischen 2 und 3 Sternen.

Not bad. Bonne trame de fond 6.5/10

Really good background jazz

I think the impact of the experimental nature of many of the songs is lost to the years. Album is a bit disjointed, and not as good a Rumours from this band

Not sure I like the sparse sound of this album. Doesn't really sound like Fleetwood Mac to me. Sara is a great song. And I have no idea how Tusk became a hit. What a weird song/arrangement/instrumentation/style etc. So strange.

We just released the BEST pop album of all-time. Let’s follow it up with… 1) Lofi ballads sung by the ladies 2) Buckingham’s obsession with making Fleetwood play weirdly militaristic drums? 3) other minimalistic little diddies. Don’t get me wrong, tracks like Over & Over, Sara, Angel blew me away. But this is one of the most infamous left turns in pop music history, they get credit for the bravery it took to halt the Rumours momentum. RIP Christine McVie, the far superior female talent in the band.

The production is really late 70s/early 80s but it still sounds good on the 2015 Remaster. (btw... curse Spotify and/or the labels for replacing the original mixes with endless remasters) As usual, I like the Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks numbers and loathe anything by Buckingham. All in all, for a Fleetwood Mac album I find this one more tolerable than the others. I might even say I liked it.

Pretty fun album, appreciated that energy while driving home from the airport at 2am 3.5/5

a good "buffalo grill" soundtrack x)

The album coming after Rumours... does it live up to the hype? Nah but it's alright.

This one is a high 3. Why isn’t the scale out of ten you may ask? Good fucking question. It’s not inherently my cup of tea, however, it grew on me. It was clear that cocaine was an inspiration on half of these tracks. I appreciate the variety, which i did not at first. Overall solid album. Will keep some tracks around.

I liked it, but not as much as rumors. I did like the energy it has

Good but slow. Rainy day album #43.

Listened at low volume while having a steak on the deck the night before Stoic's surgery. Not paying particular attention to the music but the weather was a perfect fall day, a nice counterpoint to our anxiety about the procedure.

Bom, mas Fleetwood Mac. tem álbuns melhores. Nenhum grande diferencial desse.

I don't think I'd listen to this on purpose. Lacks the drama of rumors.

That was difficult to get through. Never been a massive Mac fan but could appreciate Rumours. This felt like their White Album, immediately following up a great album with a maraudering stumble through different sounds that just goes on too long. 2.5*

This album alternates between the stupidest song I've ever heard and the greatest song I've ever heard. Despite some songs' success in exploring interesting guitar sounds and song structures, Tusk feels like an exercise in keeping up with musical trends rather than the band putting their best foot forward. Notable Tracks: Think About Me Sisters of the Moon Beautiful Child

Pop. Al principio le iba a poner un 4, pero luego ha habido tantas canciones lentas, que un 3.

Sara. El disco bonito pero rollo.

On sent la volonté de faire un album «total», avec différents styles et plusieurs instruments. Certaines chansons m’ont beaucoup plu, dans une symbiose tout à fait naturelle, la musique coulait. D’autres m'ont fait décrocher, dans une sensation de fouillis à force de vouloir tout inclure.

OK not great.

Bit mild for a great band

i like fleetwood mac, but there were only a few songs on here that i would return to

You can make a great album without needing to follow it up with an even better album. Sara and Think About Me carry a lot of the classic sounds from Rumours. This is a good album.

The best songs on here are dreamy and chill with Christie McVie & (obvs) Stevie Nicks vocals and her distinctive melodic phrasing.supported by spacey textures, and the bass carrying a lot of the music forward (Over & Over, Sara, Storms, Brown Eyes) or other SN-led songs with a more full chugging along on a groove rock-sound (Angel, Sisters of the Moon). They're experimenting with a lot of other stuff (sounds, tones, genres, instrumentation): there's a Stevie Wonder-style clavinet sound (The Ledge), generic 80s arena rock sound (Thing about me, walk a thin line), 70s country-rock sound (save me a place, that's all for everyone and the synthy I know I'm not wrong, honey hi), some devo-sounding synthy stuff (not that funny). There's some interesting guitar work (messing with reverse tape effects, volume swells and stuff) like on What makes you think you're the one? but the song is too Elton-John mashing a piano in 4/4 staccato to be interesting. Again, best stuff is when the guitar is drenched in reverb nicely compressed, sitting alongside SN vocals. Lots of songs on here - nothing as stand out as their greatest hits and a fair bit of filler - but the best songs highlight the best aspects of the band.

Not as good or catchy as Rumours, but similar.

Enjoyable but doesn’t evoke the same emotion as their other albums 7/10

The White album for Fleetwood Mac but not as good

its no rumors, but its got some moments

Coming on the heels of Fleetwood Mac and Rumors, one would have hoped that Fleetwood Mac would put out another masterpiece. Perhaps that was too much to ask. Whether it was because of the fractures in the band that had created the incredible Rumors had abated and there was a loss of creative tension, or they simply didn't care, Tusk was not the follow up we would have hoped for. Angel and Sara are quintessential Stevie Nicks songs but come across as outtakes from Rumors. Her solo album Bella Donna, released two years later, showed more growth musically. The song Tusk is so silly, especially the marching band accompaniment, that it borders on inaccessible. Everything else is dull and uninspired. Tusk is also a 2 LP record. This is an example of where more is less. It's bloated with mostly second rate (by Fleetwood Mac standards) songs. I can still remember the collective yawn that accompanied this release. 1979 was the year punk and new wave broke out, disco was everywhere, and rap and hip hop emerging. Fleetwood Mac's response was to phone it in.

It's not exactly Rumours level of an album. I would be fine if this wasn't on the 1001 album list. It's alright, a little bit too long.

Si está bueno, me gusta, pero demasiado lento de repente. Me costó trabajo terminar de escucharlo o saber que ya estaba en otra canción.

I wonder how many people say "rumors is better" Cause it's true. This had some fun to it and I prefer the Stevie songs. What am I supposed to do with tusk itself though? Listen to only that song at burning man?

Good in parts

I think reviews are exhausted on this album. Not Rumours, hard to follow up that one

I'm sure it's been said a million times here - there's a 5 star single album in here, that was swamped out by the self-indulgence of going for a double album. When it's good, it's right there with Rumours. But wow so many of the Lindsay tracks are just epic trash. Horrible, horrible. Everyone was yakked out AF here but apparently he just totally cracked. What the fuck man. Well, at least it's a much better streaming album than it is vinyl. Much easier to skip the garbage here. Still, just can't bring myself to put it at 4.

Pretty good

Tusk - the song - is great. Innovative, catchy, musically simple but fascinating. The rest of the album is just sort of nicely bland . It's 1979, there's lots going on in punk, funk, disco and garage rock, but Fleetwood Mac aim squarely at middle of the road adult rock.

This could be another band’s best album, but against Fleetwood Mac’s best, this is just a very good album.

This album is more a vibe than anything else. It's like it doesn't have any individual songs. It's certainly no Rumours.

Well it's no rumors. I'm going to sound like a broken record but this album is again too long. I think there is a very good album here but it's bogged down by it's long running time. Tusk and Storm are great tracks to name a few. I just can't recommend listening to the whole album instead of just cherry picking your favourites.

Good stuff, but I didn't know any of the songs.

I 100% didn't give this the attentive listen that I should have. I saw Fleetwood Mac and got super excited to listen to Rumors and tuned out when it wasn't that.

Honestly a bit underwhelming, I've tried to get through this album a few times in the past. There's some really amazing songs, but overall think it's a bit too long without the substance. Clearly an unpopular opinion though considering this albums lore. Not sure I'll enjoy anything more than Rumours.

Lots of what I don't like about Fleetwood Mac. Simple pretty breezy tunes that don't go anywhere. All the elements of the songs are top notch, they just come together into something that feels nearly soulless. The songs with some interest, like the eponymous Tusk, aren't enough to support the whole album. All of that said, kudos to them for making the exact album they wanted to just because they could. That's cool. 2.5 rounding up for the 0 f*!#s given.

Genres: Rock, pop rock, avant-pop, experimental rock Formed: London, England in 1967 Run time: 20 songs, 1 hour, 14 min It’s a very easy album to listen to. You know it’s Fleetwood Mac within a couple of seconds of starting a track. Track 5, “Sara” has over 65M plays on Spotify, whilst the least played tracks have less than 2M plays, which is still high. Eight singles were released from this double album. “That’s Enough for Me” has a twangy guitar backing that makes it feel like a Country song. “Brown Eyes” is sung by the ladies of the group and gives the song an ethereal sound. I didn’t enjoy this album as much as “Tango In The Night” but I will listen again to see if it grows on me. My Rating: ***

Decent, but I feel like I was wanting something more.

Too long, but not too bad

soft

Decent offering by Fleetwood Mac, some well known greats such as Sara and Tusk and a new one to me; the absolute banger which is Sisters of the Moon. 3.5 stars.

Þessi er voða stór en að sama skapi ekki mjög eftirminnileg, og hef ég þó hlustað þrisvar. Sum Buckingham lögin eru mjög skringilega hljóðblönduð. Dansa helst við That's all for everyone, en heilt yfir er þetta fínt. - Hlusta kannski aftur síðar.

Pretty good album. Two really good songs: Sara and Tusk. It is not as good or consistent as Rumors.

Felt like a 3 different artist making their own collection of Rumours B-sides, and then those were cobbled together. Not offensive but not great either.

not ma hing, not bad, just not ma hing.

well... album is not bad, but generally does not match with my taste. songs are quiet and good for relaxation but not for regular listening. tracks added: 3 fav track(s): the ledge, tusk 6.5/10

This album reportedly cost well over a million dollars to make. At least a third of that probably went up Lindsey Buckingham's nose and it shows. Double albums are always the product of ego being mixed with a blank cheque and rarely does it actually produce two albums worth of songs. This is coked out excess about 6 years before it was popular.

I realize that it's extremely difficult to follow up a great album with another great album. With that said, this is an hour plus of a double album that is not Rumors.

I feel there are a number of songs on here that could use a lot more work or could have just been dropped, songs like "Honey Hi" and "Brown Eyes." If you're going to do a double album, make sure you have the material to stretch throughout. The Beatles did it for the White Album. But Fleetwood Mac aren't the Beatles. Even their noodling still can be crafted into songs. Honestly I thought "That's All For Everyone" was the end of the album. What a strange place to put the song, it has such a finality to it. I definitely would have cut out some tracks out of this, pared it down to at less than an hour. "Sisters of the Moon," for example is a DAMN good song and should have been touted more. This may be the "anti-Rumours" but that doesn't make it a good thing, necessarily.

Fleetwood Mac 👍

Not quite as good as Rumours, but still filled with some great tracks. Love the harmonies and consistent sound of the record. I also wish there were some more upbeat tracks.

I remember this being a bit of a let down after Rumours, but it's still strong

Pretty good, but it just reminds me of how incredible Rumours is. Makes me want to listen to that album over this one.

I'm not getting the hype. It's the most expensive rock album made at the time, and i can't hear where that is. The critics have said it's not so much an album but a collection of songs, but for me that's an issue as I don't hear much cohesion while listening. The song writing is mixed between the members and to me that means the album doesn't flow. As for the tunes they are OK, but nothing wowed me.

To follow up Rumours was already a daunting task with a lot of pressure to release a strong record. They didn't want a Rumours 2, so they tried and went the other way a bit. The result holds some very strong songs, though also some unmemorable ones, mostly the Buckingham, cocaine induced ones. Still the record was enjoyable, albeit a bit long. 7 out of 10

Good listening. Not as engrossing as other albums from them

Classic FLeetwood Mac...but a bit of a let down from Rumors

Good, may grow on me.

It was fine

After Rumours, the Mystery to Me I wasn't terribly impressed with the direction of Tusk.

Very average indeed

Musica ritmata e tranquilla. Ascoltabe ma niente di memorabile

I'm not such a huge fan, but it's ok

Harsh conditions gave Fleetwood Mac Rumours, Rumours begat Tusk, some forty years ago that album reaches my ears in less-than-ideal environs. The opening one-two is as surprising - and good - as I've ever heard from the band. Everything else is too inconsistent to do anything but expect to grow. The organs stick out now, guiding my ear to expected pop territory. At length, neither challenging nor dragging: Nice.

A few decent tracks in a weird alternative sounding Fleetwood Mac album.

Over And Over is an extremely pleasant track that I fully enjoyed. The Ledge is an entirely different feel, while an engaging and interesting listen I did not really enjoy it that much. Think About Me is a return to the pleasant sound and had me very relaxed. Save Me a Place is a wonderful vocal duet that is very simple yet very effective. Sara showcases Stevie Nicks and per usual her vocals do not disappoint. You're The One was solid but not quite playlist worthy. Storms was an incredibly comforting yet melo listen. That's All For Everyone was relaxing and enjoyable. Not That Funny was an annoying listen. Sisters of the Moon was refreshing and catchy. Angel was a great coming together of the band. That's Enough For Me was a forgettable song. Brown Eyes was quite a good song that was emotionally impactful. Never Make Me Cry was kind of boring. I know I'm Not Wrong was solid but I don't need to listen to it again. Honey Hi was also kind of boring. Beautiful Child is an uplifting and extremely vocally well done song. Walk a Thin Line was a decent song. Tusk was very outlandish and weird. Never Forget was pleasant.

Almost equal amounts of songs I liked and songs I didn't. Not FM's finest work.

It was pretty good some catchy songs

Overrated Tb h

This is worth a relisten.

This was a bit of an odd bunch of songs. Interesting though. I didn't think much of a lot of the album, to be honest. I assume I'll like Rumours more. My favourite song was Save Me a Place.

From a Fleetwood Mac fan, Tusk doesn't quite hit the mark for me. I understand the vision of it not being a 'Rumours 2' and think the variedness is there. There a number of cracking tracks within the album. However, reviewing the album as a whole it appears non-cohesive. As such, It's a 3.5 for me.

Not as immediate as "Rumours," but I found a lot to like here. "That's All for Everyone," really stood out to me and I'm fairly certain I'd never heard that before. It feels like an album of moods; there'd be a lot of usage of the word "vibe" if this were being reviewed in 2023. Does it need more tracks with Stevie Nicks taking the lead? Probably. Definitely. But I can see me listening to this again and finding even more to appreciate on repeated listens.

Mit my style at all…

A bit more experimental than other Fleetwood Mac albums. It is very long though and I think there is a good amount of filler in here.

Escuchándolo ahora. A ver qué onda.

There isn't much of the hits from Fleetwood Mac here

не запомнила, но ничего, в процессе были песни которые показались интересными

Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah, it’s very dreamy and fulfilling. I’ll have to come back to this again as I couldn’t finish it fully without gaps but it was very good on initial thought Favourite song: Track 4 - Save Me A Place

Un bon album de Fleetwood Mac, feel plus concept que FM ou Rumours, des très bonne chansons, mais prendrait une écoute supplémentaire pour mieux l'apprécier.

belli, ma gli altri album sono belli

Yes & No

Solid album overall. Knew some of the singles but not the entirety. Didn't realize Stevie wasn't always the main vocalist, seems like the hits all feature her up front. A bit long overall, but not bad.

I don't have the best impression of Fleetwood Mac but I'm excited to give them a chance. I was not psyched to find out this album has 20 songs though. Over and Over is pretty good, probably a song you'd slow dance to at a wedding. The Ledge is fine, I don't like the lyrics that much but the instrumental is interesting. I can see how it inspired people. Think About Me is pretty good, so far the closest song to being added to my playlist. Sara sounds familiar to me but I can't place it. The chords in the beginning kind of remind me of Video Killed the Radio Star. What Makes You Think You're the One is okay, at times I don't like it but at others I do. I think if Storms came out now it'd be on a bunch of people's study playlists, it's calm and quiet. It's at Sisters of the Moon where I realized I vastly prefer Stevie Nicks vocals over the other guy, I only really know her name. The Angel chord progression reminds me of Werewolves of London. That's Enough for Me reminds me of the Land of the Lost intro a little bit, it's the guitar in the background. Never Forget sounds like it could be the closer to a coming of age movie. My final review of the album is, "Wow they really just did stuff back then, huh?"

A perfectly acceptable album that's probably average compared to other Fleetwood Mac albums

Enjoy Fleetwood Mac. Not one of their best. Hard to follow-up to Rumors.

Not much to object to. A lot of individual tracks are strong. All the performances are clean as well. It's just a little poppy with too much open air in a lot of the tracks.

Very reminiscent of the time period. Not a wide variety of stand out hits.

This is good, the songs are great, but check out Camper Van Beethoven's recording of Tusk. I strongly prefer the CVB version...

An enjoyable background album but I’ve never fallen in love with Fleetwood Mac and it doesn’t look like I’m about to start now. PS: I bought that Fleetwood Mac Sat Nav. Totally useless.

i always thought of myself as a fleetwood mac hater because i don’t love stevie nicks’ voice but this wasn’t bad!

Canciones suaves, tranquilas y relajadas. Buena voz femenina. Mezcla de pop, folk y country. Para escuchar en muchas situaciones. Personalmente, le ha faltado algo más de intensidad

Ymmärrän tän hienouden, mutta ei tää silti oikeen lähde. Alussa ja lopussa hyvää tunnelmointia, mutta paljon höttöä siinä keskivaiheilla.

I was really looking forward to this but I only find Stevie Nicks's voice interesting. Sisters of the Moon is my favorite

Long! Enjoyed some of the tracks and others just faded into the background. Would probably listen again.

I've heard the Rumours and it's not it.

Not my style, bored!

I love the songs I love, namely the title track and The Ledge. Mostly I find this album a bit too indulgent and a bit too directionless

I must have seen the Tusk video with the marching bands hundreds of times when I was a kid, but had never listened to the album. It's a strange collection.

a bit disappointing, was expecting more

There are some Fleetwood Mac songs that I think are fabulous and I am more than happy when I hear them. I would not say the same about their repertoire - most of it doesn’t have any effect on me at all although I appreciate how talented they all are. Here I prefer when Stevie Nicks sings - she is their powerhouse. Although Tusk (the song) I find incredibly stirring. Those drums and the brass band and the increasing urgency. Glorious! That song alone gets a 5 but overall I wasn’t that excited.

Love the song. The album isn’t as good.

As far as the number of tracks goes, this is a bit overkill; but even so, most songs are at least OK, if not better. There's nothing mindblowing or stellar here, but this is a solid album nonetheless. 3/5

This is really patchy. I really like it in places, but really don't in others. Starts off very bland, has some really interesting bits interspersed with some dross in the middle, then bland again towards the end. Just didn't fit together very well (did they decide to make an experimental album or is the album referred to as experimental because it's an incoherent mess?). 3/5, just.

Not the best but pretty interesting

This album has a few very strong, captivating songs. However if it were not the follow up of Rumours, I don't think it would've gotten as much attention.

Best thing about this record is it resulted in Camper Van Beethoven covering it.

6/20, 30%

Tusk is a pop rock double album and is the 12th album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac. The album was more experimental than previous works and was regarded as a flop commercially because it only sold half the amount (4 million) than the previous album "Rumours" did (10 million). Although critically the album was a success around the world and has been certified double platinum in the US. It's now praised for its experimental and unpolished nature. I liked this album, but it's not my favorite Fleetwood Mac album.

Rock. Muy largo. Aburrido.

A nervousness grips my throat like an anaconda squeezing the life out of an IT consultant. I wheeze and cough as the record plays on. Soon, I'm throwing up all over my brand new diamond encrusted loafers at how disgusting the music of Fleetwood Mac truly is. It's such a basic bitch and makes my toes curl and my dick shrink back up inside my bloated body. How dare they?

Enjoyed this, didn't expect to, mainly because I was expecting it to be turgid shite like Rumours. Good. Carry on.

Odd one, considering this is probably their 8th best album (and I'm assuming there won't be 7 more mac albums). It's a weird hodgepodge of stuff...definitely Buckingham's attempt to prove he was a real "artist." Sometimes works. A couple definitely sound like demos for a Vacation movie. McVie the weak songwriting link at this point. Not sure who was fucking who during the making of this record.

Pretty good, album seemed to get better as it went along. The Ledge, Beautiful Child and Tusk we're standouts. The kind of album that could get to 4 on future listens.

Bit slow, not immediately convinced. Would need more listening time

Pretty good, but it's no Rumours

I like Fleetwood Mac, not their best work.

Surprisingly tasteful drums some songs feel undeveloped but some good songs and overall nice feeling to the album. Sister of the moon is best song 6/10

It's alright but it's no rumours

The songs with Stevie were the best ones

Alright. Don’t think I would listen to it again unless someone else play it

Pop. Al principio le iba a poner un 4, pero luego ha habido tantas canciones lentas, que un 3.

Over and Over: is OK. The ledge: also just ok. Jangly. Think About Me: the complete FMac package so good. Save Me a Place: I kept waiting for it to go somewhere. Sara; this is the reward for not turning the album off. Makes me excited for what may be next. What makes you Think You’re the One: keeps the momentum going. Storms: very controlled, measured. That’s All for Everyone: has a tamped-down ethereal sound. Simple lyrics. Not that Funny: the energy is back! Sisters of the Moon: the energy changes, the coven is near. Angel: Sara with a little more power. And more voices. That’s Enough for Me: I love Lindsey. The playing, the voice, the tempo. Brown Eyes: I keep waiting for it to rock out but it remains repressed. I thought it might at the end but it didn’t. Never Make Me Cry: solid I Know I’m Not Wrong: straight-ahead beat. Lindsey Honey Hi: Christine with great harmonies Beautiful Child: poignant, pretty. Seems like a precursor to Landslide Walk a Thin Line: simple, a bit plodding Tusk: JACKPOT! Never Forget: a fine song, but a let down after Tusk I’m listening on Spotify and after the original it goes into the remastered versions. Not commenting on those, but all the power and ‘rock out-ness’ I wished for on the original was there.

Pretty alright, better than I was expecting

Good, but way too long, and very repetitive. I feel it will grow on me in time, but for now it's just good

Pretty good, less annoying than Rumours, but not particularly memorable. But good ditties. Reminds me of later Beatles stuff with decent harmonies but not nearly as good.

Un buon album. Non sono strafan dei Fleet post Peter Green, e d'altra parte Rumours lo ritengo superiore, ma è un ottimo album.

Oh boy. Look, I enjoy Fleetwood Mac for the most part but not so much this. Too long. Way too long. There are good songs, particularly the title track. There are other good songs too but it's hard to really remember them. I think my opinion might change a tad if I spent more time with the album, but I'll be honest: I'm not so sure that I will. I tend to prefer Stevie Nicks songs and she is not heavily featured here, another issue that I had with the album. Frankly, this is a band where I know what I like from the band. I want Silver Springs, Dreams, Rhiannon, etc Yeah mostly hits. This didn't deliver what I wanted, I respect the artistic choice to change up after Rumours but this just didn't work for me. This thing cost a mil in 1979? Yeesh

I'd heard Tusk was an experimental, overblown mess that confused people, so I thought it might be right up my street (plus I was familiar with the title track, which absolutely slaps). In truth it’s not all that weird, but it is a bit inconsistent in style and in quality. In general I’m a big fan of the scuzzy Lindsey Buckingham numbers like The Ledge, but the Nicks/McVie tracks don’t match up to their Rumours offerings. Still enjoyed it though: 3 / 3.5

Didn't spark much joy

Fleetwood Mac relaxathon

Underwhelming.

its fine

Interesting album with too many songs that didn't seem to fit. It had different vibes that made it feel like two different artist worked on it amd the song didn't follow up strongly. Still some great song and enjoyable for the most part.

I find it hard to judge this album. A lot of the songs just do nothing for me emotionally, and just sound like talented artists playing boring songs. When I count out the songs I like though, there are at least five (Sara, Sisters of the Moon, The Ledge, Storms, That's all for everyone), which is a good number for a regular album. Sprinkling them in among 15 other boring songs makes for a bad album listening experience though.

Arma de dos filos

Tusk is a legendary album - especially due to its absurd cost. It feels more evident than in previous and later albums, that the three main songwriters (Buckingham, Nicks and McVie) wrote these tracks individually. Especially Buckingham’s songs stand out.. But often not for the better. “Not That Funny” and “That’s Enough for Me” are totally misplaced and it’s clear that he had wanted the band to go in a whole new direction - not an easy goal to achieve when the songwriters are given almost total individual freedom. Nicks’ provides some of the best songs, “Storms” and “Sisters of the Moon” while McVie offers both great moments and easily forgettable ones. At almost 75 minutes this is filled with both classic Fleetwood and a glimpse into a new direction for the band. In the end neither are pursued all the way and the result is, though most often great, somewhat incoherent.

Very hit and miss. Christine’s & Stevie’s songs are solid to great (an album of just them would be 4-5 stars), but Lindsey’s songs are not good. They feel like incomplete snippets of things that he wanted to yell in Stevie’s face, and whatever he was going for with his guitar tone doesn’t work for me. Even Tusk is fun and sounds epic but lyrically is overly simplistic and not particularly interesting.

I didn't like it too much. Bit slow for my liking and didn't have the longboard song.

This solidifes that I don't like a double album generally. If I carved a good 30-40 minutes off this, it would be much tastier as a project.

It's Fleetwood Mac but 20 songs long. 🍄

Not their best

Some nice songs, but nothing catchy that stuck.

Eh she’s alright.

Big step down from Rumours, all of Buckingham’s songs sound too similar.

it's pretty long. i remember enjoying it the first time i listened, but repeated listens seem to drag a bit

I sincerely do not know why, but everything from Fleetwood Mac sounds to me like a copy. Sometimes a Beatles copy, Beach Boys copy, copy, copy copy... I know this is not true, but I cannot rate it with more than three stars.

I'm digging the bass playing on this one.

Very mellow

Een paar echt geweldige nummers, maar als geheel zeker niet hun sterkste album.

Where's Stevie? Buckingham and McVie are of course great songwriters, but i'm three songs in and all I've heard from the lead vocalist of the band is a quiet backing vocal. Feels like the power struggle within the band can really be felt at this point. Ok so the Stevie songs have hit and wow, head and shoulders above B and M's songs. Her songs are so moody and powerful, probably even better than her Rumours work. That being said, B and M's songs pale in comparison with their near-perfect pop contributions to Rumours. The production is more experimental in parts (The ledge), more traditional in others (Save me a place) and not particularly cohesive or polished.

I wouldn't want to be the follow-up album to Rumors either. Over & Over starts on a pretty somber and slow foot. Its very ethereal and transitory. 10 songs in and Sisters Of The Moon is the first song I have liked on this. Tusk is a lot of fun. Ultimately, the album itself is not bad, not great, with a couple fun songs and other I'm not very keen on.

This is an interesting album for them, definitely more "experimental." Some of the tracks are a bit longer and more indulgent/jam-y. I like it! UPDATE: "Tusk" turns into a straight up marching band anthem! I love the unexpected turns in music happening on this record. I just wish it weren't over an hour long.

It was an okay album but there are other Fleetwood Mac albums that I enjoy more.

I liked bits of this but I don't understand the need for this to be as long as it is.

Fews hits, but too long. Amazing voice from one of my fav singer : Stevie Nicks, but still too long ;)

There are a lot of very strong songs on the disc (Sara, Sisters of the Moon, Brown Eyes, Walk A Thin Line, etc). It would have been a good 35-40 minutes of excellent material. Unfortunately, these tracks are drowned in fillers equivalent in duration. So I'm giving this album a 3, but it would have been a strong 4 without the completely useless songs like Not That Funny. Also, I have to mention... Damn. Stevie Nicks vocal performances are always so spot on!

Fleetwood Mac are my favourite radio band. If one of their songs comes on the radio, I will always turn it up and sing along. Love it. But I never choose to put their records on the turntable, with the exception of the Tusk 7”, which I love for its weirdness and the nostalgic memory of the ABC playing the video in the 5 minute break between the Goodies and the 7pm news on a pretty regular basis. I know the reputation of this album; wilfully weird, overblown, expensive and coked out. This was Lindsay Buckingham’s reaction to the incredible success of Rumours and the rise of post-punk. He wanted to forge his own thing, and this was it. It amazes me that he spent a million bucks recording an album that sounds this badly recorded. Never before, and likely never again. Is this Fleetwood Mac’s White Album? There are some superficial similarities (double album, studio weirdness, clearly identifiable songs from different songwriters, arguably better as a single LP, but no one will agree on what tracks would be on it). There is probably a pretty good follow-up to Rumours if you compiled the Stevie Nicks and Christine MacVie songs, with the fresher production take preventing it from being just Rumours 2.0. And the production on these songs is not that weird. This would a total radio favourite and solid 3 star album. And then an album of Lindsay Buckingham songs, especially The Ledge, Walk a Thin line and Tusk. They are idiosyncratically recorded (although now quite contemporary sounding). They are strong songs, but with quite an unusual approach for the time, which has been quite influential in the 2000s. I can see why the hipsters picked up on this record. I am considering playlisiting just his songs for an Abbreviated Tusk, which would be an interesting listen for me, and something I would play regularly. More to my taste, and 4 stars. But, as it stands, this is a three star album. Like it, a few standout tracks, but needs a big edit and would never choose to put it on the turntable.

Coked-out excess - all over the place but better than I was expecting for a double set.

How do you follow the best album of all time? Disappointment. After capturing lightning in a bottle on Rumours the only way is down. It feels a lot like The White Album to Sgt. Pepper: a bit disjointed and unfiltered. A collection of ideas for tracks that never really got focused into a cohesive album. A few nice moments but nothing to elevate beyond middle of the road.

Some good songs but a lot of songs I didn't care for.

Standout songs: Sara, That's All for Everyone, Sisters of the Moon, Beautiful Child

A sprawling double album written on cocaine. It didn't have the stature of its predecessor but is is still a solid album. Production is very tight.. *Those funeral dry drums) Sara remains my favorite Mac song (though on the on the original album it was hacked from 6 to 3 minutes) Sentiment says its a 4...but I think its really a 3.

This would be a tough album to make given the success of Rumours. Looking for a different sound was probably the right decision so they would avoid falling into the formulaic music trap. The album is good but it is certainly not the type of album that would get a lot of airplay at house parties in the late 70s. It just didn't have the magic that Rumours and the preceding Fleetwood Max album had.

nope, boring. 2.5/5 at best

While there were some classic songs on this album, the pacing was all off. It went from slow sweet singing from Stevie Nicks, to fast paced shouting from Lindsey Buckingham, it does this multiple times, leaving the listener confused and rattled. The album also had quite a bit of filler, i feel that it wouldve been better as a single album with 10 songs and a 37 minute run time than 20 songs and a 74 minute runtime. A double album simply isn’t ideal to listen all in one setting. Not to say double albums are all bad, one of the best albums of all time is a double album: Songs In The Key Of Life, by Stevie Wonder. I wouldve liked this much more if it had been more sonically consistent.

Hope abides in the first track, such beautiful vocals and a wonderfully composed track. If the album was entirely in this mood, the rank would have been higher, but alas, it was not. "Tusk" is an eccentric album. Even after two listens, the sentiments are hard to narrow down. Maybe that is a pro disguised as the con? At a risk of oversimplification, all of the female led tracks were great, and all of the guy led tracks were seemingly from another album.

Gotta love the vocals, and the songs as standalones are all perfectly fine, but I find a lot of FM's stuff really samey and difficult to stay engaged in when it comes to listening to a whole album.

Not nearly as wacky as people are describing it. Favorites: "Tusk", "I'm Not Wrong", "Sara", "Never Forget" Might change my opinion on it after a relisten but some songs are genuinely hard to get through

Enjoyed it. Could be good home background music. Nothing earth shatteringly good though.

Fairly chill but it is no Rumours.

J’ai embarqué tardivement dans Fleetwood Mac avec l’album précédent Rumours. Cet album n’est pas aussi facile d’approche et bien sûr, on cherche à le comparer. C’est un album long et ça joue souvent en défaveur des albums. Il y a quand même des pièces qui ont attirées mon attention comme The Ledger, Sara, That’s All For Everyone, Sisters of the moon, Brown Eyes, Beautiful Child. Bref, la production est super bonne. Je vais sûrement y revenir.

Great album. I usually listen to rumors but this album offered a fun and different feel.

“What Makes You Think You’re the One” has Fun. vibes. All over the place track to track.

not their popular stuff but still good

It's no Rumors but I like it. Tusk is a great song.

Haven't listened to this entire LP since it was released back in 1979. Starts off OK with “Over and Over” from Christine McVie then Lindsey Buckingham follows up with the hoedown fail “The Ledge”. Next song “Think About Me” is OK, then some more Lindsey Buckingham drivel, “Save me a Place”. Thankfully Stevie Nicks brings it back with “Sara”. Good song, and light years ahead of the previous tracks. Of course LB follows up with another turd. He did not recover well from his breakup with Stevie, as his songs here really suck ass. “Storms” is a Stevie Nicks sleepy bedtime tune, and Lindsey ups his game slightly with the very mediocre “That’s All for Everyone”, but have no fear as he’s right back to type with “Not that Funny” - he was right. 🤮 Thank god for Stevie Nicks (and Christine McVie) as their voices push “Sisters of the Moon” a notch above the songwriting. Buckingham guitar here is really good. Ditto for the vocals on “Angel”. “That’s Enough for Me” is a thankfully short wannabe stomper. “Brown Eyes” is another track destined for the background mix tape at the Sleep Study Center. By the time we get to “Never Make Me Cry”, another mediocre song with a pleasant vocal, I’m thinking ‘Who thought this deserved to be a double LP?’ This is a stinking mess of shit compared to Rumours. “I know I’m not Wrong” confirms my last sentence. “Honey Hi” is nondescript background tune, and “Beautiful Child” is another snoozer showcasing great vocals. Disappointing. Ditto for “Walk a thin Line” minus the great vocals. Then we get to the title track - “Tusk”. Finally some meat on the bone! This song slow-burns and absolutely rocks - phenomenal percussion. It’s the kind of song to crank after you’ve strapped on the armor, sharpened your sword and begun the long march towards the breach. The album wraps up with “Never Forget”. Oops, I did. This should have been a 45. “Sara” on side A, and “Tusk” on B. 2.5 and rounding up. Also note that I was stuck on a three hour flight, so this is what you get…

fine, didn't hit me hard like rumours.

3 1/2

Too goddamn long

Weird from start to finish

This was a pretty disappointing album. I was looking forward to listening to it after I looked at the song list and realized I had only ever heard a couple of the tracks. Turns out the tracks I knew were the only ones listening to. This is probably a 1 star album if Sara and Tusk aren't on here. And I'm pretty sure Sara is only good because Stevie could sing the phone book and it would be worth listening to.

Some songs are boring. The ballads are much better.

Die Nachfolgeplatte der Rumors, bisschen lang geraten und reicht nicht ganz an ihre Vorgängerin heran. Sind trotzdem ein paar Perlen dabei. Die Aufnahmen zu dem Album seien ein 'cocaine blizzard' gewesen, sagt der Wikipedia-Artikel…

Tusk er engin Rumours. En það eru nokkrir gullmolar þarna.

Rumours is better

p441. 1979. 3 stars. The Fleetwood Mac equivalent of the Beatles White album - a weird mix of well crafted pop songs, half thought out ideas that don't really cut it, fabulous harmonies and over-production. Someone needed to slap Lindsey Buckingham with a wet kipper and tell him, "this track ain't good enough." Would have been a great single album.

2022.01.25

Pretty good, I’d check out songs from this again. No reason this needs to be a double album or 75 minutes though

Not their best work.

De va lite över mid!

The standouts are great but a lot of this is just momrockers. Some parts sound suprisingly similar to indie rock

Lyssnade inte aå noga! Förlåt Fleetwood McDonald

I generally like Fleetwood Mac but this was a departure from what I thought if as their sound. I thought most of the album was ok but nothing standout. It was like a collection of solid background music not a killer album like Rumors.

I liked it. Didn't blow my socks off.

Can't help but compare this to The Beatles' White Album. Lot of randomly assembled and disjointed songs with no tonal consistency and while I love the White Album it'd be an awful introduction the band. Unfortunately, this is my introduction to the band and it's left me feeling like I'm missing the context needed to enjoy it.

Didn't listen to whole album but it got some great songs. Will revisit again.

אלבום ממש נחמד לנסיעות, נותן אווירה כפרית וישנה טיפה אבל בסך הכל ממש חמוד

Surprisingly good, considering some of the work they went on to make only a few years later

More experimental than Rumours, which was to be expected. I quite liked Lindsey Buckingham's tracks. Good listen, but not my go-to Fleetwood Mac album.

Not really my bag.

I love Fleetwood Mac but the outstanding tracks were their hits, Sara & the title track. The rest was alright so high 3*, not quite 4*

I expected better. Its no Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac.

It's interesting to hear another fleetwood mac album, and it's not bad. It's just overly long, and there aren't so many standout tracks, although I do appreciate them not just doing a rumours clone

Odotin innolla Fleetwood Macia, mutta jouduin vähän pettymään. Levy oli aika pitkä ja siitä ei noussut erityisiä suosikkibiisejä. Enemmänkin mieslaulajan laulamat biisit erottuivat ei-niin-hyvinä. Olisin toivonut tarttuvampia biisejä ja ehkä vähän riisutumpaa sointia.

Following up the biggest album of your career with a bunch of inscrutable tunes (the best of which features a marching band, which will always rule) takes ENORMOUS BALLS. (Also, it's named after Mick Fleetwood's pet name for his wang, so there's that going for it as well.)

Two top singles. Some good tunes.

Saved Prior: None (I have a live version of Tusk saved) Off Rip: The Ledge, Sara, What Makes You Think You're the One, Storms, That's All for Everyone, I Know I'm Not Wrong, Tusk Cutting Edge: None Overall Notes: Overindulgent but I don't blame em, how are you supposed to follow up Rumours. No offense but if you cut all of Christie McVie's songs this might sneak into 4 territory because Lindsey is in his freak BAG (pun intended) on here. Songwriter scores: McVie 0/6, Buckingham 6/9, Nicks 2/5

I got a little bored SORRY

7/10

Od strony produkcyjnej bardzo miód dla uszu, szczególnie na głośnikach (na słuchawkach, momentami, panning okazywał się dla mnie bardzo irytujący i potrafił odwrócić moją uwagę od muzycznej strony projektu) - ale co się dziwić kiedy wyjebali na produkcję taką kupę forsy. Muzycznie wszystkie kawałki są bardzo przyjemne, jednak w większości nie urzekły mnie od strony kompozycyjnej i zabrakło mi w tym czegoś intrygującego, żebym miał później ochotę wracać do tego albumu jako całości, bo nie wywołał on we mnie większych emocji (wcale nie dlatego, że mój gust opiera się w dużej mierze o mroczne i pokręcone klimaty), z wyjątkiem kilku kawałków które jednak wybiły się ponad szereg i zrobiły na mnie wrażenie. W dużym skrócie: świetny record, ale emocjonalnie dupy mi nie urwał Ulubione kawałki: The ledge (ultra lekki, catchy i energetyczny, bez banalnych rozwiązań mimo wszystko), Sara (nie wiem czemu ale skojarzyło się mi momentami przez melodię z the winner takes it all i zrobiło mi się sentymentalnie, nie przez miłośc do abby, ale ze względu na wykorzystanie tego utworu w jednym z najbardziej emocjonalnych momentów w BTCS XD), Brown Eyes (te laid-back momenty z nutą nostalgii mnie kupiły), Tusk (ten poczatek niesztampowy kompletnie mnie urzekł, chyba najbardziej intrygująca kompozycja z całości jak na moje ucho, ze względu na tą ewoluującą kompozycję - dynamika i zmiennośc jest u mnie zawsze na plus).

3 piosenki mi sie bardzo podobaly: The ledge <33 brzmi jak pavement Brown eyes Tusk - woah look at the stereo. Ogolnie totalnie nie siedze w takich klimatach ale przyjemne doświadczenie, produkcja była całkiem niesamowita ale jakbym miał 1.4 miliona dolców na produkcje bym zrobil cos lepszego ;3

Enjoyed this one. Some good songs though none that compare to rumors. Some late 70s vibes but gets a little stale later on in the album.
