Tusk Limited Indie Exclusive Transparent Blue Vinyl edition

Fleetwood Mac

Limited Indie Exclusive Transparent Blue Vinyl

Fleetwood Mac's 1979 album "Tusk" stands as a bold and ambitious departure from the commercial polish of its predecessor, "Rumours." At a time when the band could have easily played it safe, they instead chose to push creative boundaries, resulting in an eclectic and experimental double album that defied expectations.

"Tusk" is a testament to Fleetwood Mac's willingness to innovate and take risks. The band, consisting of Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Lindsey Buckingham, and Stevie Nicks, was coming off the massive success of "Rumours," which could have made them complacent. However, Lindsey Buckingham, in particular, spearheaded a move towards a more unconventional sound, drawing inspiration from punk and new wave influences.

Despite its departure from the mainstream appeal of "Rumours," "Tusk" contains several gems that have become fan favorites. Stevie Nicks' "Sara" is a hauntingly beautiful ballad that captures her mystical lyricism, while Christine McVie's "Think About Me" brings a pop sensibility that balances the album's experimental edge. Buckingham's "I Know I'm Not Wrong" and "What Makes You Think You’re the One" exemplify his willingness to break the mold with their unconventional structures and raw energy.

Upon its release, "Tusk" received mixed reviews, with some critics and fans struggling to reconcile its experimental nature with the band's previous hits. However, it has since been reassessed and praised for its innovation and bravery. Over time, "Tusk" has earned its place as a cult classic and a significant entry in Fleetwood Mac's discography. Its willingness to deviate from the formula and explore new sonic territories has influenced countless artists and demonstrated the band's versatility and commitment to artistic growth.
