Fleetwood Mac - Tusk
14 of 16 people found this review helpful.
What can you do after "Rumours"?. Well, another masterpiece seems certainly a good idea. "Tusk" was a double LP in its time, and maybe people didn't like it then for that reason. There are few double CDs or Lps really worth while, but this is one. It may need more than one careful listening, but it catches you in the end. Sara, Brown eyes, That's all for everyone, Beautiful child... These songs may haunt you from the beginning, as it happen with me, or after a few times, but they're gems, like the rest of the songs. "Tusk" stands alone in FM's discography, without any obvious relation with the sound of "Rumours" and "Mirage". But I would say that it also stands alone as the peak of their careers, and their greatest achievement.

Throw your Kaftan on and pour a MartiniReview created: 02/05/08

This is one of my very favorite all time Albums. Originally released in 1979 I think ?? This was when Fleetwood Mac were really good, half way between being a blues band and the silly breathy noises in the 80's. I think the main appeal is the range of seriously catchy baselines and riffs, but how many albums feature 3 very different and all excellent lead vocalists. I am in full support of a revival - I think we should have Fleetwood Mac parties all over the UK this summer - why not - I can't thinks of a better soundtrack to a family BBQ. Beautiful child will make you want to cry, Tusk will make you want to dance on the table. YOU HAVE to have this in your collection if you like spag bol and black forest gateaux.

OK, but not a good follow up to RumoursReview created: 21/02/08

A victim of their own success with Rumours, this Tusk follow up could only fail by comparison. With about 4 million sales (compared to about 25m+ for Rumours) it certainly missed the mark with Fleetwood Mac fans.
That said, I enjoy listening to it, with gems such as Sara and the title track Tusk being typical F.Mac style examples.
I don't think you can really get into an album until you've heard it many dozen times - and I've only listened to this about 20 times so I don't feel I have done it justice yet.
Time will tell.
Worth getting? If you already have Rumours and the self titled Fleetwood Mac (aka The White Album) albums, then this is as good as they get on an average day.
Definitely worth a listen.
