Mirage

"Best new reissue". "Mirage nixed any suggestion that intra-band drama was their sole animating force, and flourished in the emotional void they occupied: heartbroken, strung out, and alone at the top ... Mirage took the band back to No. 1 for the first time since Rumours, and spent five weeks there. The public preferred Fleetwood Mac as soft-rockin' comfort food. In a state of exhaustion and addiction, the five-piece papered over the cracks with an apple pie lattice, and saw other people for five years".

"Mirage is an apt title for an album that glistens and shimmers alluringly before evaporating without leaving too much of a lasting impression. It never does more than it needs to, a state of affairs easily attributed to burnout and the distraction of solo careers. But in the long term, this air of languid passivity has worked in Mirage's favour ... EXTRAS: The bonus material doesn't do much to dispel the notion that was an album whose prime cuts had already been hived off to various solo ventures".
