Fleetwood Mac - Mystery To Me

About Mystery To Me by Fleetwood Mac Album

At this point, the band was best-known as a British blues unit. Slowly but surely the band was becoming more acclimated with a production style that was reminiscent of the California pop sound. With the majority of the blues and psychedelic behind them, Mystery to Me finds Fleetwood Mac in a more ruminative vein. American guitarist Bob Welch established that path. Despite the all-encompassing ethos, Welch's songwriting skills made him walk a fine line between the mystical and the silly. But luckily most everything works here. The leadoff song, the laid-back "Emerald Eyes" matches Welch's spacey lyrics and vocals as Christine McVie provides great backing help. The album's best track, the gorgeous and lyrically strong "Hypnotized" has Welch matching an effortless, soothing croon with jazzy guitar riffs. Throughout Mystery to Me the amazing and almost telepathic drums and bass of Mick Fleetwood and John McVie give this effort more panache and muscle than was represented on this effort's predecessor, Bare Trees. The best Bob Welch offering, "Keep on Going," has a strong, soulful string arrangement and Christine McVie's customary sensual and poised vocals. The only weak spot is the ill-advised cover of "For Your Love" that's steeped in hackneyed, post-psychedelic style. Mystery to Me's interesting sound is directly attributed to the fact that it was recorded on the Rolling Stones Mobile Unit. This effort is custom-made for those who like thoughtful offerings and is a valuable set in the scheme of the band. ~ Jason Elias, Rovi

- Took long enough

This and Penguin are their best. People were begging me to burn my discs because the couldn't find them here!

- THANK YOU iTunes!!

JL-It’s About Bloody Time!

- Unsung Classic

I share the enthusiasm of the other reviewers. What differentiates this from the other pre-Buckingham albums is this one truly feels like Welch was owning the direction of the band, which coincidentally, ended up being the basis for the Nicks/Buckingham era. Listen with open ears to "Just Crazy Love" and you'll hear a track that easily could be placed on Rumours. What appeals to me personally is the Welch/Westin guitar duo. Welch was strained on the Heroes are Hard to Find album carrying the full guitar load, and was competing with Kirwin on the early albums Future Games and Bare Trees, a combination that Welch later admitted caused friction. Kirwin was a great guitarist, Welch would say, but didn't appreciate Welch's Jazzy/R&B roots. Welch once said Kirwin didn't like some of his 'notes' that he played. Penguin featured Westin for the first time, but Dave Walker was more of a distraction, and the band wasn't completely polished. One can only wonder how long this unit would have stayed together had Westin not slept with Fleetwood's wife. A few more albums like this and there may not have been the need to go find Buckingham. This has to be one of those top 10 classics no one talks about by bands that are huge. At least for me...

- Under rated album

I don't believe this album had any hits but it was always a favorite of mine . Bob Welch got to shine "Hypnotized,Somebody and Miles Away". Good songs.

- Mystery to me

Maybe the best album they have done , it was Mick’s fav for a long time,however because of in Fighting (Westin guitar, had an affair with Fleetwood's wife ) along with a not a strong tour for this one caused them only to just keep loyal fAns like me happy at the time. I love Christine’s “why” Welch contributes some fm classics..

- When They Made Music

The Bob Welsh years were their best music. The pop was that, popular music for the masses. Good for the team, after years of hard work they deserved to cash in. Now iTunes, go get Bare Trees and Heroes Are Hard to Find!

- Finally!!

The end to an era. Huge fan of the Peter Green years most of course but, I thought Bob Welch brought some great ideas along as the band was changing their genre before they succumbed entirely to "pop". Emerald Eyes, Hypnotized and Keep on going my favorite three tracks. I guess they must have settled the lawsuit to release this??

- All Thriller, no filler

Not a weak tune from beginning to end. (new remastered version in new 8 disc box set even better with bonus tracks)

- One of the best from the Mac

Bob Welch really stands out with most of the songs that he wrote on this album and in my opinion the 2nd best album from the early days of Fleetwood Mac... The first for me was “Then Play On” with great blues from Peter Green... I do not see this album listed and request that iTunes please try to place it here with the rest of the early Fleetwood Mac albums...

- Amazing

Love old Fleetwood, absolutely perfect 💖💖

- sound quality

these middle period FM records that have finally seen the light day, from an MP# standpoint, need to be remastered. The sound is flat and less than dynamic as say, vinyl
