Tusk (Audio CD),23 March, 2004
List price $24.98
A controversial Fleetwood Mac album yet one of their best / 5
Fleetwood Mac's 14th album Tusk was released in October of 1979.
The album was the band's first album of all new material since 1977's behemoth smash Rumours which has sold over 18 million in the US alone to date and spent an astonishing 31 weeks atop Billboard's album chart.
After the success of Rumours the band, especially guitarist/vocalist Lindsey Buckingham, did not want to record Rumours 2 and decided to record a double album which was partially influenced by the New Wave movement that hit and was an album that would become one of rock's greatest double albums alongside classics like The Wall, Quadrophenia, Tommy, The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway and especially The Beatles White Album.
Was this album as good as its predecessor or was it a clunker, read on.
we begin the album with a ballad for a change which was keyboardist/vocalist Christine McVie's very nice Over and Over which is a great song. Next is Buckingham's punkish The Ledge which proved Lindsey was in tune with the times. We follow with the album's third single, the Christine McVie penned rocker Think About Me which is a great shuffle rocker and reached #20 in 1980. Lindsey Buckingham's Save Me a Place follows and is a great acoustic ballad. We end the first quarter of the album with Stevie Nicks' classic Top 10 hit Sara which is one of her best songs ever and is restored to its original length on this remaster whereas the original CD cut the song by two minutes.
Buckingham's What Makes You Think You're the One starts the album's second quarter and is a great guitar/piano stomper which is a great rocker. Next is the mystical Nicks ballad Storms which is a great number. Buckingham's That's All for Everyone is next and is one of his underrated gems. Not That Funny follows and too penned by Buckingham and is a great rocker with some tasty playing from Lindsey. Stevie's rocker Sisters of the Moon is next and was her hardest rocking song up until then and a great number despite the fact it tanked as a single.
Angel follows and is another Nicks masterwork which has New Wave influences in it. Next is Buckingham's That's Enough For Me which is a great song. We then have back to back numbers from Ms McVie which are the exquisite Brown Eyes and the bittersweet Never Make Me Cry. We end the album's third quarter with Buckingham's I Know I'm Not Wrong which is another great track.
Honey Hi is next and penned by McVie whom always seemed to be overshadowed by Buckingham and Nicks(not to take anything away from them as they were all great singer/songwriters). Beautiful Child is a great underrated masterpiece from Stevie Nicks. Walk a Thin Line follows and is the second to last composition on the disc for Buckingham and is a great song. Next is arguably Lindsey's finest hour as a songwriter in Fleetwood Mac with Tusk's Top 10 title cut is a masterpiece with his guitar plus John McVie's shuffling bass and Mick Fleetwood's tribal drumming and help from the USC Trojan Marching band playing that famous riff. Christine McVie's nice ballad Never Forget ends a great album in a relaxing manner.
When Tusk was released, the album went Quadruple Platinum selling 4 million copies in the US peaking at #4 but industry pundits saw the album as a dud since it only sold a fraction of Rumours, get over it.
In 2004, Warner Bros re-released Tusk as a 2-CD set with the complete original album remastered on CD 1 with a fully restored Sara and a second disc of demos, out-takes and single mixes.

Song "Monday Morning"
Monday morning you look so fine
Friday I got travelin on my mind
First you love me, then you fade away
I can’t go on believin’ this way
I got nothing but love for you
So tell me what you really wanna do
First you love me then you get on down the line
But I don’t mind.
I dont’t mind
I’ll be there if you want me to
No one else that could ever do
Got to get some peace in my mind.
Monday morning you look so fine
Friday I got travelin on my mind
First you love me then you say it’s wrong
I can’t go on believing for long
But you know it’s true
Uou only want me when I get over you
First you love me then you get on down the line
But I don’t mind
I don’t mind
I’ll be there if you want me to
No one else that could ever do
Got to get some peace in my mind
