The party was pretty much over for Fleetwood Mac by 1982; the blockbuster pop classics Fleetwood Mac and Rumors were mid-1970s memories, 1979´s Tusk had been a grand experiment but a commercial bust, and Stevie Nicks had already launched a solo career. Still, that didn´t mean Nicks, Lindsey Buckingham, and Christine McVie couldn´t continue to write engaging, appealing pop in their sleep. Mirage has a handful of high points any Mac fan would appreciate, from Buckingham´s soulful "Book of Love" to Nicks´s twirl-inducing "Gypsy" to McVie´s catchy "Love in Store." Overall, the Mac´s magic touch seems usurped by a band merely going through the motions--but those motions still resulted in a few worthwhile moments.
