This is the opposite of Rumours. No hooks, no hits, no Lindsey.

It's not that it's an atrocious album. It's not badly made, the songs are never really outright bad, just "okay", and though inconsistent, there are still some nice moments from Christine and Stevie. The problem with the album, really, is that it just has no heart.

Fleetwood Mac has endured countless lineup changes over its 50 year plus career (as of 2018). Sometimes these changes
brought new blood and inspiration, while other eras suffered from less than memorable performances and songwriting.
In the wake of their creatively and commercially successful TANGO IN THE NIGHT album, BEHIND THE MASK falls in the
latter category. The departure of Lindsey Buckingham left a gaping wound in this band that could really not be
adequately covered by stand-in musicians like Rick Vito and Billy Burnette.
Christine McVie's offerings were probably the best thing about this album. Her songs "Save Me" and "Skies The Limit"
are among the few true highlights in this somewhat mediocre collection of songs. Stevie Nicks was possibly at her
least inspired on this album and did little to improve things. Her duet with Rick Vito on "Love Is Dangerous" was
probably her best moment, but it's not a particularly memorable one.
The album as a whole isn't unpleasant to listen to, just rather dull and absent any real standout songs. This is very
tepid Adult Contemporary that rarely grabs or holds my attention, aside from maybe the aforementioned songs. Truly a
disappointment.
