Happy Release Day
Tusk, the 1979 album by Fleetwood Mac, is a beautiful and strange LP that explores the aftermath of a failed love. The album reflects a personal tumult so claustrophobic and intense it felt global in scale. Despite their smooth, murmuring sound, few of the band’s records pull punches emotionally, but even compared to a cry of pain like “The Chain,” Tusk is singular. It is pocked with heartbreak, resignation, lust, hope, and deep hurt. It poses unanswerable questions. It reckons with the past, and what that past means for a future.
