"Behind the Mask" is the fifteenth studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released in 1990. It marks a transitional period for the band, as it is their first album without longtime members Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, who had left the group by this point.
Featuring a lineup consisting of Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, Billy Burnette, and Rick Vito, "Behind the Mask" explores a variety of musical styles, including pop, rock, and blues. The album showcases the band's versatility and the songwriting talents of its members.
Notable tracks on the album include "Save Me," "Freedom," and "Hard Feelings," which highlight the band's ability to craft catchy melodies and memorable hooks. The album also features a cover of Bob Dylan's "Forever Young," showcasing Fleetwood Mac's interpretation of a classic song.
While "Behind the Mask" received mixed reviews from critics and did not achieve the same commercial success as some of the band's earlier albums, it remains a significant chapter in Fleetwood Mac's history. The album represents a new direction for the band and serves as a testament to their resilience and ability to adapt to changing musical landscapes.
