Album Notes
Fleetwood Mac: Lindsay Buckingham (vocals, guitar, piano); Christine McVie (vocals, piano); Stevie Nicks (vocals); John McVie (bass); Mick Fleetwood (drums, percussion).Additional personnel: The U.S.C. Trojan Marching Band.Producers: Fleetwood Mac, Richard Dashut, Ken Caillat.Engineers: Ken Caillat, Richard Dashut, Lindsey Buckingham.Originally released as a 2-LP set.No home should be without at least one copy of TUSK. Fleetwood Mac's magnum opus of 1979 is considered by some to be their greatest work. And while you are probably familiar with the hits, you may not realize that this recording is full of gems like Christine McVie's gorgeous "Brown Eyes" and Lindsey Buckingham's rousing and infectious "I Know I'm Not Wrong." Of course, even the Nikei industrial average would sound beautiful if it were sung with Christine's wonderful voice. And Lindsey Buckingham's home recordings that show up here are a virtual blueprint for the indie-rock home-recording scene that would flourish nearly 20 years later. While some records from this period seem campy and quaint in retrospect, TUSK still sounds terrific, thanks to those Dashut/Buckingham production values. But what's up with that marching band on the title track?

Editorial Reviews
3 stars out of 5 - [T]he collection had some moments of shimmering beauty....TUSK's greatest worth is as an accurate and telling musical indication of where the band members' solo albums would go.Uncut (4/04, p.112) - 5 stars out of 5 - [T]his was the exact AOR equivalent of PiL's METAL BOX, where a mainstream icon suddenly subverts their art from within the system...

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.

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 Rumours

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.
