+  Easy listening can be a dangerous game and so it’s proven here. My feelings on Fleetwood Mac’s self-titled 1974 album have slid gently from warm to lukewarm to tepid over several listens. Nice is nice, but without a bit of needle it can teeter into boring.
+
+  That’s not to say there aren’t some great moments. Stevie Nicks frankly steals the show with “Rhiannon” and “Landslide” - to such an extent that I get that [_Surrealistic Pillow_](/jefferson-airplane-surrealistic-pillow) feeling of, ‘Why isn’t she singing on more tracks?’ Beyond that I actually struggle to reach for concrete examples.
+
+  There are lovely spells in the tracklist certainly - the arrangements and production throughout are clean and gentle - but I’ve been surprised by how blurry the lasting impression has been. It’s like a half-remembered dream.
