Tusk – Fleetwood MacView More By Fleetwood Mac Our ReviewFleetwood Mac decided to follow up the career-defining, best-selling Rumours with an album that would not compromise their integrity or seem like a quick rehash of their proven FM-radio-friendly formula. Tusk is not Rumours, Pt. II. It's an expansive, 20-track collection that allows each of the three songwriters — Lindsey Buckingham, Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks — to stretch their musical vocabulary with the very best sonics that money could buy. Buckingham took on much of the production himself, recording at home and in the personally modified Village Recorder studio in West Los Angeles, until he fashioned an album both quirky and accessible, as much a part of the '70s rock elite establishment as informed by the funkier experiments of the emerging punk and new wave. Though individual tracks do stand out — McVie's "Over & Over," "Never Make Me Cry," "Sara," "Storms," and "Beautiful Child," "Buckingham's "Walk a Thin Line" and "Tusk" — the album is best experienced as a long, flowing whole, moods emerging, harmonies shifting, and odd sound experiments percolating underneath the smooth professional sheen.. Customer ReviewsFirst review!?!?! (5 stars)I can't believe I'm the first one to write a review for such a great album! Tusk is a Fleetwood Mac masterpiece and in my opinion, just as good as Rumours. Comparing the two is quite difficult and unnecessary due to the distinctly different sound that Tusk contains. The songwriting trio of Buckingham, Nicks and McVie keeps the album interesting due to their own personalities and songwriting styles. The way one style flows into the next works Beautiful Schizophrenia (3 stars) I was a bit disappointed when this LP first came out and I still wish somebody had reigned in Buckingham's experimentation (just a notch) and cut the song list down to a fine-tuned, ultra-brilliant single LP. Christine McVie's contribution seemed to be waning as Stevie Nicks star continued to rise. Having said that, it's still a fine album with each member shining brightly at one point or another, so... 5 stars for the band and it's a good Keeps you coming back (5 stars) I've revisited this album time and time again over the past 30 years, and it always sounds like genius. By far Lindsey's best production, and at the peak of their voices, Tusk would be #1 on my deserted island list. I've been playing some songs for my 11 year old, and he likes it too. Timeless and precious is this album, buy it again and have a listen. BiographyFormed: 1967 in London, EnglandGenre: Rock Years Active: '60s, '70s, '80s, '90s, '00s, '10s While most bands undergo a number of changes over the course of their careers, few groups experienced such radical stylistic changes as Fleetwood Mac. Initially conceived as a hard-edged British blues combo in the late '60s, the band gradually evolved into a polished pop/rock act over the course of a decade. Throughout all of their incarnations, the only consistent members of Fleetwood Mac were drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie — the rhythm section that provided the band with its...
