From the day of its release until now my three favorite songs are the same: Freedom, In The Back Of My Mind and Behind The Mask.

People often ask me what that great Stevie Nicks song is whenever I play "Affairs Of The Heart", whether it be at a party or in my car...It seems to catch people's attention.

I was excited about this LP when it came out. It really was my first Mac LP to be excited about ....I had only been collecting since like '88/89 around that time....its not my favorite LP though but its not horrible......it wasn't the same without Lindsey but well I did like Rick more than Billy.....it was a different kinda a LP though.....ahh the memories....wow 20 yrs ago.....time sure flies.......

I just wanted to say that I'm listening to this album for the first time now, and never in my wildest dreams expected to enjoy it as much as I am enjoying it right now! I'm only up to "In The Back Of My Mind", but my expectations of it being an excellent album throughout have now been raised extremely high!

If you REALLY want to get adventurous, download the outtakes of the Behind the Mask sessions here: http://www.guitars101.com/forums/f90...kes-69551.html There are some great songs that didn't make the album (and should have), and vastly different versions of the songs that did.... Way to go, jaycee! Edited to add: I know I've said it before, but on the outtakes there's a version of the title song with only Christine's voice and Mick's drums that would melt steel......

The only criticism I have of the album (the inclusion of "The Second Time" notwithstanding) is its running order.
Here's how I program it (replacing "The Second Time" with the "In The Back Of My Mind" single B-Side, "Lizard People"): In The Back Of My Mind Behind The Mask Freedom When It Comes To Love Affairs Of The Heart Save Me When The Sun Goes Down Stand On The Rock Hard Feelings Skies The Limit Love Is Dangerous Do You Know? Lizard People And, here's my "Deluxe Edition" Behind The Mask (including outtakes & leftovers): In The Back Of My Mind Behind The Mask Freedom When It Comes To Love Affairs Of The Heart Save Me When The Sun Goes Down Intuition As Long As You Follow Stand On The Rock Hard Feelings Skies The Limit Love Is Dangerous Got No Home Paper Doll Do You Know? Lizard People

In case you're interested, I once "tamed" Tusk by changing the track orders to "sensible" positions to see how it would sound. The results were surprising to me - I prefer the original order most of the time, but it does change the feel of the album in a way that is quite enjoyable every now and then. (I can't remember my reordering offhand - I'll have to find it out later this weekend, if I can.)

Thanks for the outtakes! I'll get them within the next couple of days and have a listen. Of course, I've now heard the album in its entirety, and I really liked it - I found many songs to be "Heart Of Stone" quality (well, by quality I mean enjoyable - I think that song needs to be remastered), so I was happy. Btw I listened to Time as well last night, but I just found it to be very poppy overall, so I'm rather indifferent to it. I'm still glad I own it now though.

yes it is an underrated album and also it was released on my birthday I was 20 years old when that album was released love that album. I want to say it peaked at number one on the week of release and shortly went off the charts.
