I love Albatross, but the instrumental called Fleetwood Mac is also great--and I prefer it! I too like Jigsaw more than Albatross, but I realize these are just matters of taste and that all three are excellent.
Kiln House is to my way of thinking FM at its best, which is surprising, given there's no significant Christine participation and a lot more rockabilly than I normally enjoy. But who the heck cares! It's an amazing, honest, unpretentious record. A band that could record three consecutive studio records (Then Play On, Kiln House, Future Games) of such varying character and yet consistent quality is quite rare. Those three records represent the breadth of a band like FM.
