Fleetwood Mac's twelfth studio album, Tusk, released on October 12, 1979, marked a significant departure from the band's previous work, showcasing a more experimental and eclectic approach. The album is often compared to The Beatles' "White Album" due to its diverse range of musical styles and fragmented structure.
The album features 20 tracks spread across four sides, highlighting the distinct songwriting contributions of band members Lindsey Buckingham, Stevie Nicks, and Christine McVie. Notable songs include the ethereal "Sara," the energetic title track "Tusk," and the introspective "Storms."
Upon its release, Tusk reached number four on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart and was certified double platinum. In the UK, it peaked at number one and achieved platinum status. The album produced two U.S. top-10 hit singles: "Tusk" and "Sara."
