| | Rock Ahead: CD Album: Fleetwood Mac - Tusk - expanded edition |
 | | Tusk was the album that many people said almost split the band and yet listening to it Tusk might well have been the album that saved the band from itself. | | | Like many double albums it could be argued that it could have been cut down to make one strong album but the idea falls down as the album would lose all its continuity which does actually run through this album on closer listening. | | | The big success from the album was the title track, which has an eerie quality to it, which builds slowly until the climax and the entry of the marching band that completely turns around the whole feel of the song. |

| | The album proved to be a breakthrough for the band and thus became a huge hit, and the group was catapulted into stardom. | | | The resulting concept album was Rumours in 1977, in which the band laid bare the emotional turmoil of the time. | | | The album debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200 and a well-attended arena tour lasted through 2004. |

| | Daily Vault - June 24, 2004 |
| | The double album is usually indicative of the success of a band, coming at the height of their popularity. | | | Rumours was the most successful album of 1977. | | | It is unfortunate that was the case, as Tusk is a near brilliant album, pushing the boundaries of what "pop" music was in the early 1980's. |

| | Tusk by Fleetwood Mac (lyrics & reviews) |
| | I have this album on vinyl and CD. | | | Both albums are eccentric and fragmented, and on each, the band members (at least the ones that write songs) come through as very distinct, individual personalities, much more so than on previous albums. | | | Of course, the song "Tusk" is one of the most unusual pop songs in the history of music (it reached #8 on the charts) and is alone worth the price of admission. |

| | Her first song on the album, also the first song on the album, is "Over and Over." The album begins with the feeling that everything is over. | | | Finally the album closer,"Never Forget" is another mid-tempo song with a sort of bouncy demeanor. | | | The interpretation to this album was compiled after a month long discussion on the message board of the Penguin, The Ledge, with input from the interpretations from all of the individual songs contained on this album. |

| | Detroit Free Press, Sunday, September 19, 1982 |
| | The double-album "Tusk," released in 1979, showcased the band's musical schism. | | | On the 'Mirage' album, that was something I didn't really want to impose on the group because I had done that on one album and though it succeeded on 'Tusk,' it was not enough of a community effort. | | | "THE 'TUSK' album was the result of a certain process, the result of my songs being the radical departure and evolving into a different concept of recording, which was basically me at home recording all the instruments. |

| | Rolling Stone declaried that "Tusk represents the last word in lavish California studio pop and a brave but tentative lurch forward by the one Seventies pop group that can claim a musical chemistry as mysteriously right...as the Beatles'." Moreover, the halls were packed for the nearly year-long world tour that followed Tusk's release. | | | For all his hard work and vision, he was paid tribute in the album credits with the line, "Special thanks from the band to LIndsey Buckinham." Buckingham wrote nine of Tusk's 20 songs, while Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks contributed six and five songs, respectively. | | | Both albums document what were, at roughly respective periods in their careers - 1968 for The Beatles, 1979 for Fleetwood Mac - the most popular groups in the world in the process of fraying internally and dealing with their disintegrating "group mind" by allowing individual voices to further emerge and develop. |

| | Anticipation was high for the next album, reported to cost a record $1 million to make. | | | By October 1979, when the new album, also called "Tusk," was set to debut, people were wondering what the first single would be. | | | There is, additionally, a stunning studio version of a Brian Wilson tune called "Farmer’s Daughter," previously available only on the band’s live album from the "Tusk" tour in 1980, featuring some of the band’s most gorgeous harmony vocals. |

| | Rolling Stone : Tusk : Review |
| | Play this album and thousands more for the price of one CD with Rhapsody | | | Like "The White Album," Tusk is less a collection of finished songs than a mosaic of pop-rock fragments by individual performers. | | | In its fits and starts and restless changes of pace, Tusk inevitably recalls the Beatles' "White Album" (1968), the quirky rock jigsaw puzzle that showed the Fab Four at their artiest and most indecisive. |

| | Lindsey Buckingham - Musician Magazine Interview 1981 |
| | Whether he is singing one of his own songs from the new Tusk album or backing Nicks or McVie on one of their tunes, Buckingham plays and looks like a man possesed -- his fixed stare never leaving the audience, a sinister grin never leaving his face. | | | Material from their just-released Rumours LP is met with as much applause of recognition as songs from their previous album, which garnered three hit singles. | | | But, while it may not hold together well as a unified album, the individual performances on Tusk are nevertheless outstanding, especially Buckingham's which display a startling new approach to recording structure, mix and instrumentation. |

| | Neil Hopwood - July 2004 |
| | The follow up to the mega selling 1977 ‘Rumours’ album was ‘Tusk’ in 1979. | | | A couple of their albums made the UK number 1 spot in the late 70’s. | | | I’ve really enjoyed listening to CD 2, which is the studio outtakes and unreleased versions of the songs that eventually made up Tusk way back in 1979. |

| | A really random Tusk questions - The Ledge |
| | Beautiful Child is my favorite song on the Tusk album. | | | Which is possible as it was obviously not one of his 'bathroom cuts' and was the first single of the album, hence the likelihood of a group sound playing a role. | | | It's almost like he did a solo album inside of a Fleetwood Mac album. |

| | Tusk - Fleetwood Mac - Review - Rivalled only by Rumours |
| | Many (and quite rightly so) believe the album 'Rumours&; (1977) to be the definitive Mac album of all time, an album throught with the emotions of the various members of the group going through terrible splits, which almost finished off the band. | | | What was unusual for an album of this time was it?s length - a double album comprising of twenty songs, yet priced as a single album, which was great marke | | | However so strong was this band, that they overcame their personal problems, regrouped, toured and went back into the studio to produce a new album, which took almost two years to finalise - 'Tusk'. |

| | The Dead C are, alternately, either one of the most groundbreaking "rock" bands of the last couple of decades, OR they are a huge hoax played on the record collector scum of the universe. | | | Anyone with even the slightest interest in drone, heavy sound experimentation, hypnotic repitition, DIY recording, improvisation, and general guitar and drums clutter and clatter, needs to get their hands on anything this band from New Zealand has produced before they all disappear from this veil forever. | | | The synths on the end of the title track, the agonized doom blended into a free-for-all Stoogian (in both senses of the term) assault make for an enjoyable disk to accompany any stream-of-consciousness activity in which you are engaged. |

| | In the case of Tusk, the answer is both yes and no. Fleetwood Macs original album is truly awe-inspiring, and frankly, unbeatable, yet the results are of interest to fans of both groups (the original release has a strong cult following), as the need for comparison is obvious and guaranteed to provoke debate. | | | This album can be purchased at Insound, Amazon, and CD Universe | | | The original Tusk, produced largely by Lindsey Buckingham, is full of inventive arrangements and songs of tragic beauty, dealing with a love that is not just lost, but gone forever. |
