Biography

While most bands undergo a number of changes over the course of their careers, few groups experienced such radical stylistic changes as Fleetwood Mac. Initially conceived as a hard-edged British blues combo in the late '60s, the band gradually evolved into a polished pop/rock act over the course of a decade. Throughout all of their incarnations, the only consistent members of Fleetwood Mac ... Read more in Amazon's Fleetwood Mac Store

4.0 out of 5 stars Almost perfect pop... 1 Mar 2002
Format:Audio CD
For me this album is Rumours part 2. Thats not to say it sounds anything like "Rumours" but more where "Rumours" left off. In its time it had a fair number of hit singles ("Hold me", "Gypsy", "Oh Diane") and made Fleetwood Mac popular again after the public rejection of "Tusk". To add to the wonderfully romantic hit singles are some of the Fleets greatest works...check out the wonderously slow build up in "Only over you", the guitar riff on "Eyes of the world" and the crazy beat of "Empire State"..
They were so near to making the perfect pop album...
Still, 4 stars is not bad.

4.0 out of 5 stars Polished 16 Oct 2005
Format:Audio CD
This album holds a slightly weird place in Fleetwood Mac's history. The classic line up is there so that at least guarantees it is better than any post Buckingham or post Nicks album which followed. But compared to 'Say You Will' being such a fine return to form, post Christine McVie (!!) it struggles to compete for the most part. Because it seems to me at least that the band were going through the motions somewhat....there are several fine moments here for sure but any great sense of daring or adventure as witnessed on Tusk (1979) is lacking. This is a safe record. Almost deliberately commercial after the wounding insults levelled at Tusk, this album is easy on the ear, if not exactly Easy Listening. But Rumours (1977) was also commercial, and considerably better than this.
Of course by most people's standards this is a fine album. We have after all the superb Gypsy from Stevie Nicks, the effortless single Oh Diane from Buckingham and at least one classic from Christine McVie in the closing number 'Wish You Were Here'. 'Hold Me' is catchy and inoffensive without achieving anything approaching classic status. 'Eyes Of the World' is compulsive Buckingham in the style he so ably demonstrated on Tusk. The rest is filler for the most part, enyoyable filler I admit at times ('Can't Go Back', 'That's Alright', 'Empire State') but the Stevie Nicks track 'Straight Back' is hardly worthy of a Nicks solo effort.
So this is The Mac treading water. They could still swim but were not making many waves with this. Compared to their best work at least. If halves were allowed then this would be 3,5 max. But as they are not, I will give it four, as my expectations are ridiculously high when I think of what they are capable of. I still play this album quite often after all so it is not an irrelevance by any means!

4.0 out of 5 stars The end of greatness but still some sparks 9 May 2006
By pseudopanax VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
This is a difficult album to assess and many Fleetwood Mac fans are slightly ambivalent about it. Mirage in some ways looks forward to the overproduced Tango in the Night, but also hearkens back to Rumours and Fleetwood Mac. It's not a transitional album in any way, but it's also not entirely the work of a band treading water creatively. The Nicks compositions are the best songs on the album overall - the countrified and irresistibly catchy That's Alright, the slinky Straight Back and the great Gypsy-but it's Christine McVie's Hold Me that seems to be the core of the album. The interplay of the vocalists and guitar work echo You Make Loving Fun and show how Buckingham could flesh out McVie's sometime banal pop and make great songs of it. Buckingham's contributions are uneven and Oh Diane is probably one of the worst Mac songs ever, but Book of Love shines. Mirage is by no means a great album, but it is their last album that evoked the brilliance of their work in the 70s. If only it could make me forget the mess that is Tango in the Night!

5.0 out of 5 stars Love the Mac!
This was one album that I didn't have in my collection. Glad that I bought it, I'm more than pleased.

4.0 out of 5 stars grows on you
Played this for the first time and it wasn't what I expected. It seemed a bit too pop-py and lacking in the quality of the lyrics. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Golden oldie
I first purchased this not long after its issue in 1982, and some of its tracks now seem dated. Also, the production quality is variable and probably not what you'd expect today. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor effort
This isn't so much the sound of Fleetwood Mac treading water as the sound of unhappy, disunited individuals abusing the goodwill of their fanbase. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars under-rated classic
This is actually an under-rated classic, up there with the Mac's best albums. Yes, it does have the execrable 'Oh Diane', the worst song on the album and one of the worst songs... Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Mac thoughts.
For me, there isn't a bad track on this album. I love it, possibly more than all other mac albums and I love a lot of their output.

Being a huge Fleetwood Mac, this album slightly disappoints. By far, the best song is the fabby Gypsy by the fantastic Stevie Nicks. Read more
