Fleetwood Mac
Behind the Mask
Release Date: 1990 04 10
Running Time: 54:26
Label: Reprise
Rating:

Fleetwood Mac's only full-length album with a lineup of Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Stevie Nicks, Billy Burnette, and Rick Vito proved an artistic and commercial disappointment not so much because Lindsey Buckingham was missing as songwriter/guitarist/singer/ producer as because the group's other writers, Nicks and Christine McVie, didn't pick up the slack, relying on Burnette and Vito to come up with material. They tried: Burnette's "Hard Feelings," written with Jeff Silbar, was a worthy effort. But Nicks's four contributions (three of them co-written) weren't up to her usual standard, and while McVie proved more dependable, turning in the Top 40 pop hit "Save Me" and the Top Ten Adult Contemporary hit "Skies The Limit," her light, romantic efforts needed sturdier work to play off of. Behind The Mask was never less than pleasant, but never of the calibre of the work of the previous lineup, either. Though it went gold, it was Fleetwood Mac's least successful new album in 15 years. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

I was never that crazy about this album, but I think there are some good cuts here. "In The Back Of My Mind" has some incredible dual vocals between Stevie and Billy. "Save Me" is almost like a follow-up to "Little Lies" and probably should have done a lot better than it did. My favorite track on here is "Freedom"...Stevie really nails this song. Too bad she doesn't ever do it live cuz it's really a good track.
