Comments:

Bob Weston and Dave Walker had left the band by now and you would expect a return to true form from the remaining four key members.  Unfortunately this is not the case. Seven of the eleven songs are written by Bob Welch and none of them seem to go anywhere. Sometimes you get the feeling he tries to write prog-rock a la Yes or Pink Floyd like in Coming Home or Angel. He does not succeed though. Christine McVie wrote the remaining four songs. Of these, Heroes Are Hard To Find and Bad Loser are not too bad. But Prove Your Love and Come A Little Bit Closer are dull. With this Album Fleetwood Mac seemed to have reached a dead-end. But help was on its way!

Rating: ***** (5 out of 10)

Green = Great Songs

Red = Could Be Better
