I've always thought Mirage is underrated. I much prefer it to Tango in the Night - it's much warmer. "Hold Me" and "Gypsy" may be Lindsey's best ever productions for Fleetwood Mac. I also think "Eyes of the World" is a brilliantly inventive tune. The rest of the album isn't up to that standard certainly, but I don't think there are any real duds on the album. I personally like Lindsey's 1950's-style tunes, but I can imagine people being turned off by them. I agree with the poster above who admires Stevie's singing - it's the last album where her voice really sounded great. I think the perception of the album as bland comes from Christine's material, but then I'm not a big Christine fan. However, Lindsey's production is pretty uninspired on her tunes too, "Hold Me" excepted. Apart from that I always enjoy listening to "Mirage," even if it rarely scales the heights of the preceding three albums.
