This album really fell flat for me, didn’t like it nearly as much as Rumours. Nothing I disliked, it just didn’t keep my attention.

Tusk feels like the kind of bloated follow-up to a blockbuster that a lot of filmmakers were making around this time, ala Heaven’s Gate or One from the Heart. And like most of those, there’s plenty of brilliance to dig through in between fluff. This might just be TOO much Fleetwood Mac, while Rumours was almost perfectly paced, but the good stuff is worth digging through. The title track especially, even if that will (or should, anyway) forever be associated with The Americans. B-
Overlong, and it took 5 songs before Stevie Nicks shows up. I was willing to give this the benefit of a doubt but this is the album after Rumours. It's a major step down imo. 3/5
