3/5.03/5.03/5.03/5.03/5.0
Musical cohesion without the inner excitement...
Review written by Jon the Moonspinner, February 17th, 2010

A bland sameness coats this Buckingham-less Fleetwood Mac project from the get-go, and although Stevie Nicks is definitely (and, perhaps, surprisingly) up to the challenge, new members Billy Burnette (guitar, vocals) and Rick Vito (lead guitar, vocals) are like kid-guests at the party. Welcomed, at least initially, but not essential to the mix. Christine McVie has finally exhausted her bag of winsome, wistful tricks, which usually pull the band out from the fringe; her "Skies the Limit" starts the album off with mellow grace, but--although it means well--it's such an airy and innocuous confection, it can easily be skipped over in future playbacks. Elsewhere, Christine's "Save Me" (a terrible choice for the first single) and "Behind the Mask" (with help from Lindsey!) are equally drowsy. Her best moment comes with help from co-writer Burnette on "Do You Know", one of the record's distinct highlights. Not that it's a bluesy number with soul, far from it. Christine has lost her blues instinct and now writes middle-of-the-road pap for mellowing fans; however, "Do You Know" has conviction and is prettily sung. Nicks comes through with a few winners ("The Second Time", "Affairs of the Heart"), and Vito & Burnette contribute a nice country-rocker ("When the Sun Goes Down"), a song everybody gets involved in, but the overall results of "Mask" are awfully staid. And what's with that cover shot? We don't need mysterious models or quasi-art portraits to sell us on the music. Just give us better music.

actually the disc also contains the word along side the pictures, not sure if it would show the graphics on a windows media player application but the album realy is a gem to listen to and is there best album so far.

Underated - A gem of an album
Review written by trinidex@yahoo.com, November 5th, 2006

I absolutley love this album, I cam across it at a time of change in my life, and it seemed to fit so well.

Something that I've not seen mentioned is the CD+G part of the CD, CD+G (Compact Disc Audio + Graphics). Each track had it's own graphics like a basic music video.

Many PCs can now play CD+G discs through software players, along with Karaoke machines which use CD+G. I encourage all owners of the CD to check it out.

Later publications of the CD did not include the CD+G portion, I have 2 copies of the CD, 1 with and 1 without the CD+G content.
