I really like Tusk a lot. I understand why many people consider it Fleetwood Mac's masterpiece. The album as one big mood swing—it doesn't really conform. There are snippets of brilliance everywhere, but to me, songs were left in rudimentary form. It was like lyrics were never perfected, sounds were fragmented. It was like the songwriters were just throwing out songs from different sides of their brains and seeing if anything stuck. Songs like Over and over, Honey Hi, Brown Eyes, the Ledge, Storms, That's all for everyone and Sisters of the Moon are just gems.
