REVIEW

The platinum quintet's first studio album since 1979's ambitious "Tusk" initially invites comparisons to "Rumours" for the newest songs' trim pop/rock arrangements and classic melodic flow. Subsequent listens should make it clear this is anything but a step backward, however: as the production credit reveals,principal "Tusk" architect Lindsey Buckingham shows his evolving skill as arranger and instrumentalist, especially in the gloriously lush vocal charts, which recall the Beach Boys at their most expansive. With "Hold Me" already climbing fast, followup singles futures are also bright, with Christine McVie, Buckingham and Stevie Nicks all contributing some of their strongest songs yet, and a major tour augurs added momentum for late summer and fall.
