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.

I also agree with all you've said about Tusk, I LOVE Tusk. Yes Rumours will always be the one that gets 'talked' about but as much as I do love those songs I love Tusk more. There are MORE songs, there different than the Rumours era. I love Stevie's voice than. I do look forward to this new deluxe version thats being released. I just hope that they give us some cool outtake photos. I mean this bands had TONS of great photos taken please show us more of them. Tusk will be #1 for me. The one mistake that was made when the record company played it in full on the radio back in the day. Its like go ahead and ruin your record sales and let people tape it off the radio. Its like who thought this was a great idea? Anyway, just some thoughts.
