"Mirage" is FM's most pop sounding record ever! It's safe, non-offending, an easy listen, and has a little retro 50's vibe going on throughout. It's good, but mostly forgettable sans a few classic songs. So no, I do not think it was a direct attempt to recapture Rumours per say, inasmuch as just trying to recapture an audience & record label that had grown uncomfortable with their "Tusk" direction.
