This album has lots of special memories for me. Back in the day when I would, how shall we say, "self-medicate" myself and throw a stack o' wax on the turntable, this was one of the albums that found it's way on the platter more often than not. MYSTERY TO ME has to be the most soothing album Fleetwood Mac ever put out. "Hypnotized" IMO is one of the best Mac songs EVER! Mention also to the opener, "Emerald eyes", "The city", and "Miles away". This album is Bob Welch's shining moment with Fleetwood Mac, with Christine starting to gain more confidence in her writing. A classic pre Stevie and Lindsey Mac album, perfect for a rainy Saturday afternoon or a fall drive. Get it already!
July 17, 2008 |  | Fleetwood Mac MYSTERY TO ME |  |
This album is a kind of in - between album, not longer following their roots. Agree, every change in the band results automatically in a different style and different songs. The following album were heroes are hard to find, (the last album with BOB WELCH) and now Lindsey Buckingham & Stevie Nicks joined the band. There first album was called Fleetwood Mac, and sold over 4.500.000 copies, NOT TO CONFUSE with the same titled album inn 1968.
This first album showed the path they left and could be easy compared with RUMOURS.
June 24, 2008 | | Will the real Fleetwood Mac please come back. | |
This and albums like Future Games, Bare Trees, Kiln House, and others (before Stevie Nicks) are the Real Fleetwood Mac. I know it seemed like a new roster everytime a new album came out. And this album was near the end of classic Mac and right before they became soft rock
(or lite) radio's trademark for commercialized, overplayed, almost grocery store background music. Why they went that way is really a "Mystery to Me". This is the real Fleetwood Mac. Anyone who feels a 'Mac' attack coming on should get this album and listen to "Hypnotized".

The tracks on this album are rather unique from the Fleetwood Mac songs typically given airplay. The vocals on Emerald Eyes and Hypnotized are simply groovy, and the guitar work on Miles Away is pure rock. I'm not a big fan of Fleetwood Mac, but this album is a welcome exception.

Darker and moodier than the releases to follow with Stevie and Lindsay, buy it to get a true understanding of the Fleetwood Mac evolution.
