Belonging to the Heaven of Pop: "Hold Me", "Gypsy", "Wish You Were Here", "Can't Go Back"

Very good songs: "Love In Store", "That's Alright", "Straight Back", "Eyes Of The World", "Book Of Love"

Sometimes like it, sometimes not: "Empire State"

Bad enough to belong to any other crap 80's group: "Only Over You" (whatever happened to you dear Christine, this is your worst IMHO), "Oh Diane"

Should have been on the album: "Goodbye Angel" (was it from these sessions anyway?) and "Cool Water" (sung by John! )


Song of the moment - Night Watch

Repeat Worthy: Gypsy, That's Alright, Hold Me, Love In Store
Great: Book of Love, Wish You Were Here
Sometimes Skip: Straight Back, Empire State, Eyes Of The World, Can't Go Back
Skippers: Oh Diane, Only Over You

Overall, Mirage is still one of my favorite Fleetwood Mac albums and is far easier to listen to than Tango.

Classic: Gypsy, Hold Me

Excellent: Eyes Of The World, Only Over You

Great: Love In Store, Wish You Were Here

Good: That's Allright, Straight Back, Oh Diane

Fillers: Can't Go Back, Empire State, Book Of Love

This is Christine's album The other two writers have their great moments, but generally they're underachieving a bit.

Good:Love In Store, That's Alright, Straight Back, Oh Diane



Fair: Only Over You, Empire State

No, homer, me loves it!

I love the whole album except oh diane and only over you, which I think are just a little too average.... The rest is just in the very good/great catagory.
