Future Games
Future Games is the fifth studio album by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 3 September 1971. It was their first album to feature Christine McVie as a full member. This album was also the first of five albums to feature American guitarist Bob Welch . He was totally different background R&B, sort of jazzy. He brought his personality, Mick Fleetwood said of Welch in a 1995 BBC interview. He was a member of Fleetwood Mac before we d even played a note. -Wikipedia

Ultimate Classic Rock
Seemingly forgotten Fleetwood Mac albums. That's too bad, since it plays out as one damn fine LP.

All Music
The result is a distinct move toward folk-rock and pop

The album feels unfortunately incomplete, but making up for that are the distinctive highlights

Maggie Felisberto
Future Games is fantastic! From the first few seconds of Danny Kirwan’s “Woman of 1000 Years,” you can tell that the Mac is finally becoming its own thing.

The Ledge Rumours
What came out of this uncertainty was one of Fleetwood Mac’s best and most under-rated albums; ‘Future Games’

Blog Critics
Kirwan was one of those rare guitarists who could create moods with his instrument, and that ability is demonstrated well on this album.

It's just a bunch of guys ringing their guitars absentmindedly and hoping that something interesting will come out of it

Even better is the epic “Sands of Time,” which shows some great interplay between both guitarists.

Listening Guide FM
Reflects this space cadet environment, and while its excellent title track isn’t quite the burnished West Coast pop of Rumours, it’s heading that way.

The album's jewel is Welch's title track. Had he not been discredited for a marital indiscretion within the band, this is a song the latest Fleetwood Mac could easily justify doing today.

Super Seventies
If Fleetwood Mac have tried to make the transition from an energetic rocking British blues band to a softer more "contemporary" rock group, they have failed.
