Fleetwood Mac-Tusk (1979)

Two years after the multi platinum "Rumors", the Fleetwood Mac pulled another monumental album, a double album titled "Tusk," which would also be the band's first conceptual album.
The sentimental breakdowns of the couples Buckingham-Nicks and Christine Mcvie and John McVie would have the musical arguments in this great work, an enormously brilliant album that certainly seems quite inconsistent at first.
Even so it is constructed wisely as if it were a puzzle with songs that are quite different from each other but that fit perfectly into the final result of the album.
This superb album begins with the melancholic "Over & Over", a superb as well as masterful piece that is followed by very brilliant songs like "Sara", "Tusk", "Sister of the Moon", "Think About Me" or "Never Forget", in addition the band allows itself the luxury of some extravagances like the strange "The Ledge", or licenses to the past like "Beautiful Child" or "Brown Eyes" the latter where Peter Green collaborates.
The album had a great reception without reaching the millionaire sales (more than 17 million copies sold) of its predecessor "Rumors", something almost impossible to achieve on the other hand, but that still is considered another of the masterpieces of the North American band .
