''Tusk'' is the twelfth studio album by Music/FleetwoodMac, released in 1979. It was the eagerly anticipated follow-up to the 1977 classic ''Music/{{Rumours}}'', the top-selling album of that year and one of the biggest hit albums of the decade, so the band, and especially singer/guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, wanted to take some risks with ''Tusk''. Compared to ''Rumours'' which had an upbeat pop/rock sound, ''Tusk'' was for the most part a bizarre collection of music influenced by the PostPunk movement that became a major force in the UK and a cult force in the US since the release of ''Rumors''-- similarly to Music/TheBeatles' transition from the psychedelia of ''Music/SgtPeppersLonelyHeartsClubBand'' to the genre-shifting art rock of ''Music/TheWhiteAlbum''. In particular, Buckingham cited Music/TalkingHeads as a major influence on the style of music found throughout ''Tusk'' (which incidentally released just months after Talking Heads' own ''Music/FearOfMusic'', and Talking Heads would release their similarly experimental NewSoundAlbum ''Music/RemainInLight'' just four days short of ''Tusk''[='s=] one-year anniversary).

Despite the anticipation, and strong sales (topping the charts in the UK and New Zealand and peaking at No. 4 on the Billboard 200), the album failed to match the gargantuan success of ''Rumours'', and consequently was deemed a commercial failure. First, the album was the most expensive ever made at the time, having cost $1 million to make[[note]]partly because producer Lindsey Buckingham often put so much work into instrumentation and layering but ended up just having the percussion track be himself playing on a tissue box[[/note]]. The record has since been surpassed several times over in the following decades, with the $30 million ''Music/{{Invincible}}'' by Music/MichaelJackson being the current record-holder, but in 1979 ''Tusk''[='s=] recording costs were downright heart attack-inducing. Second, double albums were sold at higher prices than single albums because of both the higher content of music and the fact that labels had to manufacture twice as many discs as they would need to for a single album. Finally and most crucially, the RKO radio network [[WhatAnIdiot broadcasting the entire album ahead of time, allowing for extensive home taping that invalidated the need for most listeners to actually buy the album]]. Despite all of this, ''Tusk'' has sold four million copies during its time out in the open, and since has been remembered as [[VindicatedByHistory one of their best works]], possibly even their single best.

* ReCut: The original 1990 CD release of ''Tusk'' replaces the album version of "Sara" with the truncated single edit, in order to keep the album from maxing out the 74-minute limit of a Redbook-adherent Compact Disc (the album in its uncut version is just 25 seconds too long to fit). While 80 minute [=CDs=] had already started to emerge at around this time, they were still relatively pricey compared to their 74-minute counterpart and lacked Redbook authorization, not to mention the fact that ''Tusk'' in its original 1979 release underperformed compared to ''Rumours''. The full version of "Sara" wouldn't be included on CD copies of ''Tusk'' until the remastered special edition in 2004, after which the full 74:25 album would become standard for CD releases.

'''''Tusk''''' is the twelfth studio album by Music/FleetwoodMac, released in 1979. It was the eagerly anticipated follow-up to the 1977 classic ''Music/{{Rumours}}'', the top-selling album of that year and one of the biggest hit albums of the decade. The band, and especially singer/guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, wanted to take some risks with ''Tusk''. Compared to ''Rumours'' which had an upbeat pop/rock sound, ''Tusk'' for the most part was a bizarre collection of music influenced by PunkRock and [[NewWaveMusic New Wave]]. The artistic risks to some degree backfired, along with the higher price associated with a double album and the RKO radio network broadcasting the entire album ahead of time, allowing for extensive home taping. While ''Tusk'' still sold in numbers that most bands would only dream of, it was dubbed a commercial disappointment. In the long run, though, it's been remembered as [[VindicatedByHistory one of their best works]].
