Tusk (2015 Remaster)

Tusk is the twelfth studio album by the British and American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released as a double album on 12 October 1979 in the United States and on 19 October 1979 in the United Kingdom by Warner Bros. Records. It is considered more experimental than their previous albums, partly as a consequence of Lindsey Buckingham's sparser songwriting arrangements and the influence of post-punk. The production costs were initially estimated to be about $1 million but many years later were revealed to be about $1.4 million (equivalent to $6.21 million in 2025), making it the most expensive rock album recorded to that date.

The band embarked on a nine-month tour to promote Tusk. They travelled extensively across the world, including the US, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, France, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, and the UK. In Germany, they shared the bill with Bob Marley. On this world tour, the band recorded music for the Fleetwood Mac Live album, released in 1980.

Compared to 1977's Rumours, which sold ten million copies by February 1978, Tusk was regarded as a commercial failure by the label, selling four million copies. In 2013, NME ranked Tusk at number 445 in their list of "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". The album was also included in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. In 2000, it was voted number 853 in Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums.

《Fleetwood Mac》《Rumours》《Tusk》这三张真的是含金量超高的专[爱心][爱心][爱心]

《Tusk》在销量上无法匹敌《Rumours》，但它发行四个月后的确成为白金唱片。它并非期待中的后继唱片，但对于一个告诉我们“走你自己的路”的乐队，你还能有别的期待吗？@月朧花幽 [钟情]

1977年英国／美国摇滚天团Fleetwood Mac 以全球大卖三千多万张的专辑［Rumours ］登上事业巅峰。 1979年秋天,发行第十二张大碟［Tusk］(双碟专辑）以摇滚、avant-pop为主， 受70年代post-punk影响，所以曲风比以前更加实验性。乐评优异，全球则卖出四百多万张，但与上张全球大卖相比，则被视为相对不佳

Fleetwood Mac注定要从1977年的《Rumours》达到的高度坠下，后者惊人地盘踞排行榜三十一周之久。但是少有人能像Mac之于《Tusk》这样“坠入”如此一番史诗般的时尚。@月朧花幽 [钟情]

【译注：Brian Wilson的乐队The Beach Boys的杰作】。《Rumours》沸腾着紧张气氛，这主要源于Buckingham与Stevie Nicks之间失败的情感关系，但头脑清醒的职业精神统领了《Tusk》。@月朧花幽 [钟情]

而Christine McVie在富有乡村乐色彩的民谣摇滚《Over & Over》中的声音，则绝对萦绕人心。@月朧花幽 [钟情]

这张洋洋洒洒的双碟唱片，录制时间横跨十个月，达到录音室运用过度之新高，还花光了在当时史无前例的一百万美元账单。无论怎样，这些钱看来花得值—包括不惜一切代价租出道奇体育场（Dodger Stadium），雇用南加州大学军乐队来录制这首专辑同名曲。@月朧花幽 [钟情]

这张唱片对两位Brians（Eno和Wilson）的音乐借鉴平分秋色，它这种梦幻般的拼贴，利用了当时人们所知的每一种铃声和口哨。Lindsey Buckingham，这位据推测乃执掌乐队做《Rumours》的人，这次留任最前线，并创作出他自己闪闪发光的一版《Pet Sounds》
