"Thrown Down" and will be released to radio the week of November 10. Just an FYI to you Mac fans...

You know what? I've been listening to Fleetwood Mac like crazy the past week or so.Just yesterday,I was playing 'Rumours' like it had just been released...lol...I'm gonna finally buy the albums that I don't have,like 'Tusk' and 'Mirage'.I've always loved them,but now I'm quickly becoming a fanatic!

haven't got the new CD yet,though.

If you wait until Feb of next year the remasters are due out.

purplegypsy said:

So that's three now:

Peacekeeper
Say You Will
Thrown Down.

Yet none of them released in the UK.

I wonder if they have the balls to release Red Rover. That would really stand out on radio.

DavidEye said:

TUSK IS A CLASSIC!

purplegypsy said:

I'm sure it is,but I gotta admit,the title track is kinda...strange? How does the rest of the album sound?

Cloudbuster said:

Cool,I will wait for those. I'll start off with the self-titled 1975 album,then 'Rumours'.Any news on bonus tracks?

DavidEye said:

No news at all.

DavidEye said:

Stevie's best ever songs are on that album, imo.

Christine's stuff is just Christine's stuff. Very good tho'. Over & Over, Think About Me, Brown Eyes and Never Forget are all good songs.

Lindsey's stuff -

Cloudbuster said:

At www.CDUniverse.com they're saying that the Deluxe Editions of 'Fleetwood Mac' (1975) and 'Rumours'(1977) will be released on Nov.18.One of you guys are lying

DavidEye said:

Just as strange--lindsey wanted to do a "left of the middle" to Rumours and while it didn't match up to the commerical success rumours had, it received a lot of critical acclaim...actually most of stevie's best work is on TUSK...e.g. Beautiful child, Angel, sara...lindsey would have left th eband if he didn't get some creative control on the album after rumours...b/c he needed an outlet to grow is musical abilities and didn't want to keep making the same sound...and it may have seemed selfish at the time but i admire the musicians who are true to gorwth and not to what the mainstream wants...i can't type this morning b/c i'm jittery so i am done...

purplegypsy said:

So,is it safe to say that 'Tusk' was their 'ATWIAD'?

DavidEye said:

Well, on the 'Ledge' boards (FM site) there's news that they've been delayed until Feb. They were originally due out this June.

So, that's what I'm going with.
But if they are released in Nov, then -

DavidEye said:

But much better.

What about 'Mirage'? Is that a good album?

DavidEye said:

Some of it.

It's probably that line-ups weakest effort but all these are good in my opinion:

Love In Store
Can't Go Back
That's Alright
Gypsy
Only Over You
Hold Me
Oh Diane
Eyes Of The World.

Do you have the Tango In The Night album?

I've got "Rumours" on my hard drive. Maybe I'll give it a listen!

btw, "Tusks" is the joint!

'Mirage' was considered a "return-to-form" after the wildly experimental 'Tusk' project,right? At least that's what I recall many critics saying...lol...most artists always follow up a "weird" record with a more conventional album (ie...Stevie Wonder's 'Hotter Than July',which came after the 'Journey Through The Secret Life of Plants' project).This would be a good topic for another thread...lol

No,I don't have 'Tango In The Night',but I love that song "Everywhere"

UptownDeb said:

The first song "Second Hand News" kicks ass!!

DavidEye said:

Tusk is stacks better than Mirage. It takes a little longer to fully appreciate but for me Tusk is their best album.

You need Tango In The Night as well. There's some great songs on there.

DavidEye said:

I pre-ordered these about a month ago.I will let you know if they ship that week.

Cloudbuster said:

Them's fighting words.
Actually I've never heard "Tusk" and never got into ATWIAD that much.

MrTation said:

Thanks!

DavidEye said:

Unfortunately my pre-orders release date has been moved ahead to Feb.3.

DavidEye said:

You need "Big Love" and the title track.

Supernova said:

Little Lies, Caroline, Seven Wonders and Family Man are all good songs, too.

MrTation said:

Don't you hate when release dates change? Now,I'm gonna have to re-write my Christmas list

really excited...going to see Fleetwood Mac at Earls Court on 29th Nov...
