I liked Tango. Considering it wasn't their best of times for recording an album (Stevie's addiction, helping Mick the main purpose so no true motivation, the 80s wasn't the best moment to fit in the Fleetwood Mac sound, John's drinking problem, Lindsey's mood about returning to the band, etc.), I think it was a fine product.
And I do like WTTR...Sara and Family Man. Not their best works but nice songs. The album sold 15 million units worldwide so something good must have been there. I must say I was dissapointed with the deluxe edition because of its lack of content. But that may evidence there wasn't extra material that meant a true desire to record an album. So a double album would be a mistake.

I've been flamed quite a bit over my stance on Tango. However, I love Tango In The Night. I love the running order; especially, Big Love, Seven Wonders, and Everywhere. The production of Everywhere glistens on my sound system and doesn't sound dated at all to me. It sounds timeless and wonderful. Isn't It Midnight has such a beautiful Christine vocal. (May be one of my favorite vocals of hers of all time.) I love the rhythm of Family Man and the beautiful guitar at the end. The title track burst through my speakers with a gorgeous jam. You and I I and II are lovely to my ears. So glad they ended the album with Part2 instead of WISYA. Uhhhh that would have been a nightmare.
I love that it has a different feel than Mirage and then a welcome change comes with Behind the Mask and ALAYF. The one thing I love about all Fleetwood Mac albums is that they have different vibes and feels. Mirage is nothing like Rumours. In fact, it's just as weird as Tusk at times. Linsdey gets all the credit and shame for this album, but Christine really shines here and deserves a good chunk of the credit for this album.

I don't see similitudes with a Rumours "groove", perhaps only that it is not so sui generis, as Tusk is.

But, Hold Me is a really cool song that I never thought would be as successful as a hit. Gypsy is pure hit. Straight Back would be a great Rock chart song. Love in Store needs a bridge but pure pop.

Hold Me screams huge hit from the beginning piano riff, the verses, guitar solo, chorus, etc.

I remember riding in the back of my friend's Honda Civic when Hold Me was first released. That piano intro would come on the radio, and I'd scream "CRANK IT!!!!!!" I was at the height of my fandom when Mirage came out. I still worship it. Then seeing them in May at Market Square Arena, up close(I think we were fifth row - and god dammit, tickets were only $16 mother f*cking dollars!), was one of the greatest nights of my life.

I was just around the corner, but was too young and not a minute to spare!

The only thing that is a little different/unusual with Hold Me is the percussion part. From the piano intro to when the verse starts it pulls you in. You are not even at the chorus yet and saying, this is pure pop sensation. There is a reason why it was the Mac's biggest pop tune that stayed on the pop charts the longest.
