Review written by Anonymous, September 3rd, 2006
I got this album when it was first released. It was the first fleetwood mac I had heard. I liked it then, and still like it today. The other reviewers have provided more insight into the band at that period then I could. anyway It is very good music and well worth picking up.

Revelation is a masterpiece. Thanks for Revelation.
The Second/Third Time Around...
Review written by Donnie Swinton, January 27th, 2006
The night I bought Penguin was the same night I bought The White Album and Time. After listening to it, I certainly did not think of it as a good or bad album, just okay. However, once listening to again, you realize that the songs for this one time only lineup were pretty darn good. Revelation is abosolutely awesome. John's bass work is definitely one of my favorite basslines in all of FM songs. I love Remember Me, though the vocal structure sounds very similar to Disastisfied. Though only on two songs, Dave Walker did both Road Runner and The Derelict quite well, the second one being my fave of his vocals. Overall, this is a really good album to put and just listen, rather than analyzing it every time you hear it.

Charts Peak : US #49 (May 1973)
UK release date : May 1973
Fleetwood Mac's first album made after the departure of Danny Kirwan features the additions of guitarist Bob Weston and singer Dave Walker. By now Bob Welch and Christine McVie were the dominant forces in the band, and all traces of blues-rock were gone, replaced by Welch's hypnotic melodies and McVie's romantic sentiments married to uptempo pop tunes. This album gave Fleetwood Mac its best U.S. chart showing yet, but the wonder is that this phase in the band's career wasn't even more popular. (William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide)
