rate ”Mystery to Me”
I do love this album as many of us Mac fans do. I always get pumped when one of these tracks come up randomly on my iPod.

Some of them however would have benefitted from more professional recording techniques. The music is pretty damn close to the speakers: the effect is strange. The only duds (for me) ate Forever, Somebody (which still has a great chorus), and the cover version of For Your Love. |

ANYWAY back to the topic at hand... these are ranked purely on my personal enjoyment level and nothing else: Emerald Eyes - 7 Believe Me - 7 Just Crazy Love - 7 Hypnotized - 11! This one goes to 11. Forever - 8 Keep on Going - 9 The City - 10 Miles Away - 9 Somebody - 9 The Way I Feel - 7 For Your Love - 8 Why - 8 I love the early 70s vibe of this album so much. The grooves are so good, the rockin' is so solid. And Welch's voice is so smooth and easy on the ears... I still feel so sorry for that man. C'est la vie... |

MAN... I think The City is INCREDIBLE. I had it as a 10 but this one goes to 11. SO GOOD. Bob should be added to the RARHOF with the rest of 'em posthumously. |

For the past month, I’ve been cranking up “Miles Away” at the gym. It’s such a great song! I’ve known this for decades but as with all great tunes, I find myself returning to it periodically and experiencing it with renewed excitement.
Surprise: “The City” is growing on me, especially the great Traffic-sounding piano toward the end. And of course “Why”—which I often play two or three times in a row as I do pull-ups or some equally unappealing movement to attempt to stay trim. Ingenious production is one thing. Transcendent songwriting another. How awesome to have both in the same friggin song. I guess what I’m saying is, thanks iTunes for finally releasing Mystery. It would be even better digitally remastered, but I’ll take what we have. |

How dare you! I'm telling Chris. As Nancy Kerrigan cried and Christine sang: Whhhhhhhhhyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Its too difficult to assign numbers to songs on this album and Rumours. The album is fantastic and believe it or not it still grows stronger on me over the years. Its just as good as Rumours IMHO.

Response 3.0 to this thread
I've been listening to this album TONSSSSS since Christmas. Here is my (third) set of (revamped) scores (based on nothing buy my personal enjoyment levels, which keep rising despite already giving it high marks): Emerald Eyes - 8 Believe Me - 8 Just Crazy Love - 8 Hypnotized - 11 Forever - 7 Keep on Going - 9 The City - 11 Miles Away - 9 Somebody - 9 The Way I Feel - 7 For Your Love - 8 Why - 9 The only one to fall is Forever.... I used to enjoy it a lot more when I sporadically listened to this album. Thought it was super charming and boppy and fun (which it is!) but the enjoyment wains after a few consecutive listens compared to the other tracks (it's a bit one-note, but I do still enjoy it). |

Keep in mind I'm very biased as this is literally one of my favourite FM albums, up there with Tusk and The Dance;
Emerald Eyes - 10 - one of my favourite opening tracks on a FM release Believe Me - 10 Just Crazy Love - 10 Hypnotized - 10 - one of the band's best songs Forever - 10 - a feel good song. Slightly reggae, love the staccato guitar and atypical drum and bass work. Not one song like it in the catalog. Keep On Going - 9.5 - Written by Bob, given to Christine as I think he said he thought she sounded better on the track The City - 9.5 Miles Away - 9 Somebody - 10 - much like Forever and a lot of the Bob-led cuts on Heroes Are Hard to Find, there's not really any other track quite like this on any other LP by the band The Way I Feel - 8 For Your Love - 7 - serviceable cover, quite enjoyable but doesn't hold a candle to the Yardbirds' original Why - 9.5 to 10 - one of Christine's best pieces surely. Should have been brought back for the latest tour. |
