## Summary

The article says Stevie Nicks regarded Fleetwood Mac’s 1979 album ‘Tusk’ as even more chaotic to make than ‘Rumours’. It highlights how the band’s internal tensions and demanding recording process made the project especially difficult.

Released after the huge success of ‘Rumours’, ‘Tusk’ faced intense expectations and a more experimental approach, particularly from Lindsey Buckingham. Its production was lengthy and costly, reflecting the strained but creatively productive circumstances surrounding the group.
