I don’t have the experience of hearing this album on release day and being thrilled or disappointed. I can’t argue with your choices for a paired down album, but maybe the flow of the record seems a bit off now? “Over and Over” is the perfect album opener: the calm before the storm, the voice of reason before the first line of blow, the finger in the dam of what we expected from a Fleetwood Mac LP and what we received.įull disclosure, I am 38 years old and only heard Tusk for the first time in 2001, and it’s inconsistently wild spirit led me to explore beyond Rumours and self-titled back into the Bob Welch and Peter Green eras. Tusk is a hot mess of an album, and I love it for that. Having said that, Godfather III in fact IS receiving a new re-cut courtesy of Francis Ford Coppola, and is said in the press kit to be an improvement, so what do I know? To me it seems as pointless as taking a classic movie like The Godfather or Gone With the Wind and debating which scenes could be cut and which deleted scenes could be re-edited in to improve the film. It is what it is, and people love or hate it for those qualities. I’ve never really understood the reasoning for endless personal restructuring of albums that have been in the public consciousness for decades.
