Both of these albums are in my opinion the 2 weakest in fleetwood Macs 45 year history. They are interchangeable as worst and 2nd worst. But if you put a gun to my head I'd say I prefer to listen to Mirage since it has way higher peaks then Tango. Gypsy, Thats Alright and Straight Back are 3 of stevies and fleetwood macs greatest songs. Love In Store is great too, but the other 8 songs are really just crap. I just can't come to any other conclusion. Eyes of the World does a 180 live in 2004 as maybe the very best song of the SYW tour, but its part of the crap on the album. And to think this was the follow up to an album filled with 20 perfect songs. And I can't stand when people claim this album is a returm to rumours. WHAT. Mirage is nothing like rumours.
Tango on the other, actually has a very cohesive unified album feel. I like that. And almost all the songs are listenable (except You and I) but thats it, other then lstenable. and I expect more then listenable from Fleetwood Mac. And Im not even in the camp that feels these are some of christines best songs. Everywhere is an embarassment to the woman who wrote Morning Rain, Remember me, You Make Loving Fun, Why, Bad Loser and Homeward Bound. She rebounded for me on Behind the Mask at least.
