Was TUSK the perfect format?
It is my theory that TUSK provided the perfect format--double album built around certain aesthetic concepts (e.g., vocal harmonies replacing strings)--for the Mac's work post-RUMOURS, on which album they already perfected the two-sided pop album format.
Also, I think it's overplayed that Lindsey (though he may have requested it) shut out input from the other band members on his songs... e.g., the USC marching band for "Tusk" was Mick's idea. Not only would this format best allow the artists to stretch out and experiment and move beyond the single-ready format that made RUMOURS so perfect for its kind, but it would also have erased the need for solo careers and would have permitted the band, if they could have gotten along and if they could have come together over this aesthetic idea (which Destiny Rules suggest they never would), to release more albums. just some wishful thinking what-ifs. What do YOU think?
