You can go back to a post-Rumours environment. Rumours was extremely commercially successful. In the wake of that success, you find yourself having freedom. But you also find yourself poised to follow the expectations of those who want you to repeat that success to a certain formula. So Tusk was a line drawn in the sand for me to subvert that. Because Tusk was estimated to be a failure in certain camps, because it didn't sell 16 million albums, a dictum came down to the band that said we should stick a more conservative formula.

I think Lindsey has said some variation of this in every interview he has done for the past 25 years.
