Yeah, I was first aware of it as an object of scorn (mostly because of "Fleetwood Mac Day" on the radio stations). Simon Reynolds picked it as his great unknown album in 1995 and wrote an essay mostly about "Sara": he wasn't the first critic to like it, obviously, he was just the first one I read. Around that time I started noticing a lot of positive mentions of Lindsay B as a lost production genius, and full-scale critical revival seems to have taken hold in the last 5 years or so. -- Groke, Thursday, May 3, 2007 10:33 AM (Yesterday)

Not saying it would be the right thing to do, for sure, but Mirage holds a really special place in my heart - was one of the first albums I really spent any time listening to in any kind of depth. My parents had a record collection but it was largely country and more easy-listening stuff, and up until that point my own collection was ABBA, so discovering the wonko Buckingham tracks on this had a huge effect on me, in the end. So it's largely a nostalgia/sentiment thing I guess.
That said, even if I rationally admit that the pop songcraft on Rumours was stronger, and the Buckingham tracks were wonko-er on Tusk, there were STILL some killer tracks on Mirage! So even though I realize it's challopsy, I know it doesn't raise the aroma that voting for, say, Time would.

Mirage is the safest of the Buckingham-Nicks records, but it's got "Hold Me," "Gypsy," "Love in Store," and "Eyes of the World."

I definitely appreciate Christine McVie a lot more on this record that I usually do, that's for sure!
― Sean Carruthers, Saturday, 29 May 2010 15:53 (thirteen years ago) link
(Not to say that I didn't appreciate McVie on Rumours etc, it's just that she was so much stronger than the other offerings on Mirage.)

42 votes for Rumours but only one for the self-titled? They're almost the same damn album!

I heard Christine's "Got a hold on me" for the first time in a long ass time last weekend at a shitty steak house in Heber Springs, Arkansas.It's still in my head.

Yeah the tie with that many voters is amazing !Mirage way too low indeed.

Is Rumours better than Tusk?
It's really not even close is it?
