''familiarity breeds contemptuous dismissal(s)'', perhaps: it's one of the most successful albums of all time.

- and the tv documentary on how it came to be made, how and why the music was composed of what it was - a weird mixture of fears, pain and even hatred combining with love songs from the no-longer in love to ex-lovers still beloved, hopes for the future, and declarations of faith in the group of friends and colleagues and their collective strength, and future... - which goes on to trace the effects, the consequent demands made upon the band to capitalise on its success, the (over-)exploitation in incessant touring, and the excesses, and the - eventual - aftermath...
...and the musicmegacorpse's total disappointment with the follow-up's only being a multi-million-dollar-seller(!!!)...
...and the band, and the band's members, slow partial collapse under the stresses, and their different ways of surviving, and the ways they found of supporting one another, as the original fleetwood mac had failed to, when their lead guitarists, especially, had cracked under similar strains...

- this re-shows on uk tv channels from time-to-time, and is absorbing - even fascinating - on a number of levels, including by way of comparisons with mega-successful bands who didn't survive success...
