Buckingham finally got fed up with the group. Nicks was in rehab or involved with her solo career for much of the recording sessions, essentially forcing herself in at the end. Despite the turmoil, Fleetwood Mac came away with a record that proved to be a strong chart success and saw them return to heavy airplay. Much of Lindsey Buckingham's material was recorded only by him with little involvement from the rest of the band. He committed quite a few songs that he had been working on for a solo effort to the band's album. His work here is pretty good, though definitely stuck in the 1980s when it comes to production and the overall sound. Like the rest of the album, Buckingham's songs don't sound as timeless here as the other Mac albums do. Big Love is Buckingham's big radio standout from Tango. He definitely did a lot of experimentation with sound on this album and came up with some very unique songs that do grow on you. Caroline and Tango in the Night fall into this category. Family Man is a more straightforward 80s pop song. The album closer, You and I, Pt. 2, is another poppy song that is catchy. Christine McVie is, once again, magnificent. Her contributions proved to be the big hits off this album. Everywhere and Little Lies were radio staples in the late 80s. Mystified is one of her lighter songs that pulls the album back again but keeps your attention - another pretty gem from McVie. She then changes it up with the straight up rocker Isn't It Midnight. Christine McVie is definitely the star of this album. So if I praise these two then why the four stars? Stevie Nicks. Nicks' voice here sounds horrible. It's too high and nasally. I'm not sure if it was something that happened because of the issues surrounding her drug and alcohol problems at the time or the production or both. McVie's voice is slightly higher too but still sounds smooth. Nicks' contributions are also subpar. Her big hit off this record, Seven Wonders, is pretty good (aside from Nicks' nasally, whiny voice) but was written by Sandy Stewart. Welcome to the Room... Sara seems to be a continuation of Sara off of Tusk. It's really not good, though it seems that Buckingham tried to rescue it with his production. When I See You Again is a song that had some potential but seems unorganized, slow, and just poorly thought out. Once again Nicks' voice also undermines the song. The problem here may have been that Nicks really forced these contributions onto the album very late in the game. They're not horrible tracks but they do show how much Nicks' contributions had fallen off for Fleetwood Mac since Tusk. Still a good album, but definitely the worst classic Fleetwood Mac lineup album due to Nicks' subpar showing here. Editorial Reviews for Tango In The Night Audio Cd      Amazon.com      Thanks to the long shadow cast by the group's blockbuster Rumours, this 1987 effort was inevitably regarded as something of a letdown. That's too bad, since it's an underrated set that contains plenty of inventively catchy tunes, with a quirky sonic edge that gives the songs added sonic and emotional depth. Lindsey Buckingham's eccentric, vaguely menacing "Big Love" is a standout, as is Christine McVie's brightly bittersweet "Little Lies," along with such dark-horse winners as "Seven Wonders," "Caroline," "Mystified," and Stevie Nicks's typically mystical "Welcome to the Room ... Sara." --Scott Schinder
