1. Non commercial - did everything to make it un-Rumours i.e. double album, unpop like songs, album cover, etc. Did not embrace disco like the Stones or Kiss did.
2. Creativity - allowed mostly Lindsey but others to explore songs they could not have done on other records
3. Double album - double the music - double the fun
4. The writing - some of the best written Mac songs are on the album
5. The end of an era. It was released just a month or so before the end of the 70's decade. It was also the end of the Mac before any solo albums. It was the last page in a chapter for the band. We never saw this side of the Mac again. Everything was about to change and welcome to the 80's and beyond.
