Rumours

Not much to add on this one, the hype is deserved. Everytime I listen to Rumours I think it's the perfect album.

This is a perfect album.

It's just very very good isn't it

5/5

Legendary album. Perfection. Production and mixing, especially with the vocals are flawless. Not a single bad song on there. Packed with mega hits and in a perfect 40 minute run time. The band has such life and groove, how can someone not enjoy this album?

What a true masterpiece. Not sure there is a better and more hit-loaded A-Side than this one. Each song of the album could be a single and a hit, no song is like the other, the combination of three great vocalists plus Lindsey's guitar play. Doesn't get much better than this

Yes, yes, another 5 star review. It really is a great album, though, spawned from an archetypally/near-comically unhealthy band relationship situation. Fave track - "The Chain" - that is an absolute monster of a tune...

Banger after banger after banger. What an absolute fucking gem of an album

There are a dozen or so albums in the last 70 years that are pure perfection. This is one of them.

I've always thought of Fleetwood Mac as being very talented musicians and songwriters, but lacking their own distinctive sound and their music being a bit clinical and 'MOR'. Listening to this album hasn't changed that view, however, the quality of the songwriting, performance, production and the sheer number of ubiquitous classics is such that this can't be anything other than a 5/5 record.

This is probably as near a perfect album as exists. A perfect blend of voices, sounds, talents...and so many iconic songs. This could well be my desert island pick.

I love this album! I remember when it came out and I really wanted to buy it. I was a little young...and when I told my folks about the lyrics of Second Hand News, "Won't you lay me down in the tall grass and let me do my stuff?", I got a hard "no"! I didn't really think that sales pitch through. At any rate, I eventually got the album and listen to it often!!

Been one of my favorite albums since I was 6 or 7 years old. Will happily listen to Fleetwood Mac any day, any time, any place.

Have on vinyl

Second Hand News-Love this song so fun! Love the pitty-pats! Also love Stevie's harmonies. Dreams-YES YES YES WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY ABOUT THIS SONG! HARMONIES! VOCALS! LYRICS! RHYTHM SECTION!!!! Never Going Back Again-Guitar work is fantastic! Vocals! Don't Stop-Classic! Forgot how good this song is! Great piano work! Go Your Own Way-Another classic! Great bass work definitely the highlight along with Lindsey's solos! Songbird-Yes finally some Christine! Love the lyrics! Super underrated! The Chain-OH MY GOD THIS SONG IS SO BADASS I CAN'T! I INSTANTLY TURNED UP THE VOLUME! LOVE THE BASS AND HARMONIES! FAVORITE SONG ON THE ALBUM! THIS SONG IS PURE ADRENALINE AND EUPHORIA! You Make Loving Fun-FUNKY! LOVE THAT ORGAN SYNTH LINE! I Don't Want To Know-Catchy! Great vocals! Oh Daddy-Probably the worst song on the album, but I still really like the instrumentation! Gold Dust Woman-YESSSS 2nd FAVORITE SONG ON HERE! WHAT A WAY TO CLOSE THE ALBUM! STEVIE'S VOCALS LITERALLY GAVE ME CHILLS! This album is literally top 10 of the 70s. So so good. 5/5

Easy peasy. Perfect album

Hit the road, play this album.

I never knew I liked this band or album, but more than half of the songs have somehow stuck in my brain over the years, so I must have liked them enough to keep listening wherever/whenever I heard them.

Amazing

Start to finish 🤌

The sound of Dreams and, you know, broken marriages, revenge, and falling in love. Beautiful album!

All-time classic!

A million times heard. I can review this without a listen.

Ótimo para trabalhar enquanto escuta. Vibe pop rock anos 70/80.

Best i heimi!

103. Rumours - Fleetwood Mac 11 tracks. I knew the album, but not any of the songs by name. What an awakening this was. A really spectacular album that offered so much in so many areas. I listened to this again on a dog walk today with headphones & even better. 5/5

While I switch the station on most of these songs today, I played the shit out of this album years ago

Classic

The first album on this journey that I've actually listened to prior to seeing it on here. And I've listened to it a lot over the years and know all the songs by heart. What more can be said about it that hasn't already been said a thousand times about this album? This is considered Fleetwood Mac's magnum opus and one of the top 10 best selling albums of all time. All for good reason. Not a single dud on here. Absolute brilliance from start to finish.

I am on board with the hype train. It's unusual that I agree with the masses but this album sits in my top ten.

5/5. Perfection

Masterpiece.

This album is amazing for how layered and solid it is. It’s rare for a band to sound this fractured yet this together

Nice and groovy!

I mean, it's Rumours.

What more is there to say about this one that hasn't been said? I continue to find new moments in this album that I love, like the harmonies at the end Never Going Back Again, or the kind of off-kilter strumming pattern in the intro of I Don't Want To Know. It's a wonder album with ups and downs and beautiful flow throughout.

Every song on here is fantastic. Musicality and lyricism are just beautiful on this album. There isn't a song I don't like. Favourite tracks: Dreams, The Chain, Gold Dust Woman

A perfect album

Favorite of mine

Jedan od najdražih albuma ikad. Da rastava i svađe kreiraju nešto tako savršeno je za 5/5

This is wonderful

Þessi hefur ekki verið ofarlega á mínum listum og þess vegna var þetta kærkomið tækifæri til að hlusta vel. Og hvað get ég sagt, er svoddan sucker fyrir 70s soft rokki.

Think this is one of the only albums on the list that I listened to all the way through before this project (shows my musical knowledge). Would rate a 5 without listening, but worth the relisten to hear again

Classic. 😃👍

Top tier pop album! Hits back to front. Glad to finally get it from this list. Knew most of these songs, but never listened to them in album order. Amazing together.

just perfect

All time classic

Not much to say about this album that hasn’t already been said. An absolute classic with some of Fleetwood Mac’s best songs.

Норм, хоть и Флитвуд мак

Great.

Brilliant Break-Up album. So many memories from these tunes. The whole album is great and hard to pick a favourite but if pushed "Songbird" & "The Chain" stand out from a superb all round album. Has to be, post Peter Green, the best work they did as a band.

It's a classic.

Great

It's a classic.

Absolutely flawless album, also probably the first time I've listened to it in it's entirety

Noen av tidenes beste låter på denne. Nydelige vokaler, tekster og gitar som bare treffer perfekt på alt. The Chain og Go your own way er mine høydepunkter.

look, I listened to this 3 times and I want the vinyl of it. There's just too many bangers. Surprised by the Chain this time, really rocked out.

Very good, might listen again

banger

A classic. Memorable songs front to back, and really good replay-ability. Closer of Silver Springs is the best part in my opinion.

Almost every song is a hit. Great album all the way through

I listened to this repeatedly during the summer of 1977, and it's still a favorite.

It finally happened- one of my all-time favorite albums came up in the rotation :) Rumours is a go-to listen. My favorites are Secondhand News, The Chain, You Make Loving Fun, and I Don't Wanna Know. And yes I know that's almost half of the album. I even left some off :)

Topalbum met veel hits. Veel afwisseling, genoeg rockgehalte maar toch popmuziek

Incredible album from start to finish with exceptional standouts. Absolutely favourite is the Chain

Has a rock /pop group ever put a better collection of songs on one record? Highway 61, maybe. Rubber Soul, perhaps. One great song after another. A remarkable achievement really 5 🌟

Quite possibly the best album of all time. Every song on this album is damn near perfect. It's rare to have an album of songs that each song still gets airplay to this day. Second Hand News is a perfect pop song. What a treat of an album. Hopefully Lindsey Buckingham will eventually get to talk to Diondre Cole. Oooohhhh weeee!!! What up with that?!

One of the best pop rock albums of all time. Also, maybe the only band I can think of with male and female singers where the male singer isn’t a total embarrassment to the band. ALSO, somehow I’m just realizing how tight of a drummer Mick Fleetwood is.

i'm a little embarrassed by how much i liked it, it was v chill

Don’t know how anyone could give this less than 5 stars really.

Me encanta!!

Fleetwood Mac (the 2nd iteration) at its finest. A classic album, making the world a better place.

One of my favorite albums of all time

Wat kan je hierover zeggen wat niet al ooit gezegd is? Zo goed dat je bijna vergeet hoe lang geleden het eigenlijk gemaakt is.

Buiten het feit dat dit een regelrechte classic is, vind ik dit album echt geweldig! Tijdloos, pakkend en emotief.

Geen slecht nummer en alles klopt aan dit album.

The best album of Fleetwood Mac.

Unassailably incredible. One of the greatest records ever with the sales to back it up.

This album fuckin' SLAPS.

A classic for a reason.

A well known album. Almost all of the songs a hits.

One of the best albums of all time. Every song is masterfully put together and both the vocals, instrumentals, and storytelling are immaculate

One of the best albums of all time. Rumours? No, it's all true.

Easy to understand why this is regarded as one of the best albums ever made. Every track could be the best track on another 70s rock album. Sublime

5/5 Really good album Good music

Although I've never listened to this as an album before, I was familiar with all tracks except for the last one and could have given the album 5 stars without listening. However, why would I do that? It was a joy to listen to it before giving it the 5 it merits. The music of Fleetwood Mac is deceptively simple but that doesn't cover up the underlying amazing emotional depth of their masterfully crafted songs. That goes both for their hits and their lesser known songs - but then again, this is Fleetwood Mac. They barely have lesser known songs. Probably every single track from this album has been aired on radio thousands of times - deservedly so.

10/10.Perfection.

Fantastic. Simply fantastic

Soft-rock cocaine enthusiasts Fleetwood Mac. An easy 5/5 but it's a shame Silver Springs isn't on there in place of Oh Daddy.

A proper classic You can feel the dislike between the band members

One of the best albums ever made. Hit after hit after hit. Perfection.

Great then and great now. Love their style and would enjoy them getting together to perform old and new collaborations.

I saw the cover and immediately got excited, of the three boys I'd say I'm the least versed in Fleetwood only because I never listened to the albums, I'm sure I listened to greatest hits at one point but not a singular. This felt like greatest hits as there were so many from their roster on this one album. That alone is enough to give this one a 5, but it is the other songs that really boost it. While they don't stick as well as the favorites, I still enjoyed them all. As I said, this is an iconic album cover and I never realized the two dangling balls. Epic.

5/5. A perfect album. Every song is classic.

This is a favorite and what I consider to be a classic album. Just amazing song after amazing song. Dreams will Always be a very solid like top 20 song of all time to me. Then you got Go your own way, Silver Springs, oh Daddy. I don't even really feel like I need to say much. It's a must listen, and it's an album that I could listen to for the rest of my life and never get tired of it. I have so far, and I am so glad this one came up again. Just looking for a reason to re-listen again.

oh daddy, mi ma masterpiece

5 5 is the only answer. Lekker plaat met ook echt wel wat hits. Echte must listen

The sound of freedom! Dit album kan uw dag gewoon terug opfleuren. Pascal Naessens zou zeggen: Puur genieten.

Great album 10/10

No words needed

Brilliant

One of the best

Muito gostosinho. Destaco "Never Goin Back Again" e "The Chain", que eu já conhecia e é perfeita.

5

Very good music. perfect for chill times

Dreams, Don't stop, Go your own way, the chain, nothing but bangers. Sound city magic.

Stevie Nicks was on some shit, just banger after banger. Recorded in Sausalito, CA!!

Love it 😍

The absolute best album from start to finish

This is great

Every song is worthy. A classic, a masterpiece.

👌

Great album. Best from them for sure

Very good album with a lot of hits. I liked the differing lead vocals vs. just one person.

This is an easy one. What's not to love? There's not a single song that couldn't have been a radio hit, not one. All the bonus tracks are a little useless, but that's not saying much. There's enough for 4 hit albums in the main tracks.

good. all songs are bops. thats it.

Ah yes, a timeless classic

Possibly my favourite album

I loved this. I knew the popular songs, but discovered a few gems that were a must have for my playlists.

A lot of "Popular" sounding softish rock tracks that you might wonder about. Definitely a good album when with people also.

This is simply amazing!!!

An easy 5, one of my favorite albums of all time.

Easy 5 stars. One of the greatest albums of all time. Secondhand News is incredibly underrated. The Chain has one of the best breakdowns in music history.

Best album ever

Best album ever

Pretty close to perfect

Other than Second Hand News, which gets on my tits, every song is brilliant.

Pretty much close to perfect as albums go

Mac-nificent

An absolute classic.

Classic alert

Not my kind of music in general, but so many songs here have transcended time

5/5 One of the best albums ever!

Rumours. No, all true. Easy 5

The best

Obviously a classic

Classic. Some great songs and the sound is superb-so distinctive and still feels fresh. Favourite song-Dreams

Love this. Wonderful album.

Duh

Uiteraard ronduit goed

The 🐐

Iconic

Everyone loves Rumours, don't they?

Maybe the best album of all time.

Obvious classic

One of best pop rock albums of all time. Beyond the hit singles, every now and then you can rediscover classics such as The Chain, Gold Dust Woman, Oh Daddy...

Okay, WOW. I knew almost every one of these songs, but I had no clue that they were all from the same album. Very influential, and there are so many of these songs that are still in movies, shows, etc in daily life. I liked a lot of these songs and this will be a new favorite.

Brings back tons of memories; being a kid and singing along; my mom hated Steve Nicks' vibrato voice but the songs were so good and still are :)

I've heard this record many times. Dreams, The Chain, Oh Daddy, Gold Dust Woman, Go Your Own Way.... definitely a classic.

“An album made by and for people cheating on each other.” -John Mulaney

Literally the goat

es la mamada este álbum

Todo suena muy bien, sobre todo cuando las voces de Stevie y quien más sea se juntan, esto es rock, pero es ya algo más también, ¿no? Como que sí suena un poco a lo que luego se explotaría como pop rock. Está la excelente "Dreams", claro, pero mi favorita de este disco es "The Chain" con ese minuto final de pura música. Igual no hay skips y tiene buena apertura y buen cierre. Muy bonito. 9.5/10

You need to be living in a bunk if you dont know at least 1 song of this album, its nearly perfect

Perfect

Stone cold classic

Awesome album. A large majority of the songs could carry the album individually. It feels like a greatest hits album.

Probably the best album of all time.

All time classic, perfect road trip soundtrack

Unreal

Greatest album of all time

Amazing. So many hits. Love this album.

Great callback to my youth. This album was good when I was eight but it is great as an adult

Classic rock is classic but DAMN some albums SLAP.

Classic

That was enjoyable.

Fantastic top to bottom

Absolute classic. So many gems on one album. Just great songwriting in general.

How could you not 5-star this one?

Yesssssssss! Probably my favorite album of all time!!

Nearly every song is 'good'. So many classics- I did not realize how many of these I knew

One of my favorite all time

Perfect album

Amazing. Love.

Mellow anthems of the 70's

Fire

Album Dios

Classic, had previously listened in full.

One of the best albums I've ever heard

DREAMS

Outstanding, I love this.

brilliant as always

One of the most played albums in my regular rotation, with good reason of course!

I could listen to this again and again.

Several masterpieces.

Lots of classic from Fleetwood and the rest is good, 5 for you!

Good album from start to finish. I like every songs of this album.

One of my favourites of all time.

Pleasant surprise!

Pure foot tapping excellence. This is music. I find it hard to give anything 5 stars because this suggests absolute perfection but, if not this album, what else would be worthy? 5/5.

This is a timeless record that deserves the accolades for it's impact on future iterations of rock / folk music in song structure, arrangements, and harmonies. Nearly every song is a single that stands on it's own merits (only Songbird and Oh Daddy have aged as misses on the album), with multiple songs becoming the standard bearers for defining 'classic rock'. Notable Songs: Dreams, Never Going Back Again, I Don't Want to Know, Gold Dust Woman

Simply one of the best rock albums of all time

Phenomenal album from top to bottom. One of the best bands of the 70s at the top of their game.

Amazing album, never gets old. From the first notes (that make my 1 year old cheer and dance) to the last, Rumours is a sonic gift.

5 1/2 stars

Absolutely lives up

It's Rumours by Fleetwood Mac. There's not much else to say

I have grown up with this album and always absolutely loved it

Classic, harmonies off the chain, true classic

One of my personal favorites.

wish i could give this a 3 1/2

This is a really great album. I'd say it's almost perfect. Dreams, Don't Stop, Go Your Own Way and the Chain are absolute classics. Swap in the criminally ignored and overlooked Stevie Nicks' tune Silver Springs instead of Songbird at the end of side 1, and it'd be perfect 5 stars. As it is, just bubbling under at 4 stars. Disclaimer: I'm maybe showing a bit of demand avoidance as this is the highest album rating on here and whilst it's great that does surprise me a bit.

Good and nice music for me. Like

I knew the song "The Chain" from Guardians of the Galaxy. I liked Silver Springs. In general the album gives you a good mood, kind of dark but happy.

Hit after hit after hit but not 5 star material overall (except The Chain 12/10 song damn and the funky one right after- You Make Loving Fun)

8.5/10

Cool cool cool

This album is such a mixed bag for me. Dreams and The Chain might be two of the best songs ever recorded. The rest just isn’t quite as good and suffers from the comparison. It’s still one of the best albums ever made.

Dreams and You Make Loving Fun are the songs I enjoy. These two songs alone make the rating higher. Now there are moments I don’t love as much but the whole album is listenable and good. Guess it’s still gonna be rated high as everyone else.

This was a good album then and now. I particularly like Christine McVee

I NEED TO FIND THE PERFECT MOMENT TO LISTEN TO THIS ONE OK BARE W ME Update: Okay it took me almost a week but I listened to it and omg. I had high expectations about this one and I'd say it met them!! I knew some songs like Dreams, Go Your Own Way and The Chain but overall I think I enjoyed it a lot! Solid 4

fleetwood mac... co tu więcej mówić.. przez te piosenki chcialabym cofnąć się wczasie do lat 70

The story behind this album is great. This band was fucked and they managed to just make it work. They also sound fucking great; like everyone is on top form. The vocal harmonies are incredible. The lyrics just hurt so bad - on both ends. "Say women, they will come and they will go When the rain washes you clean, you'll know" Never Going Back Again is okay, a little slow. You can't call Stevie a whore when you're all fucking each other already man. Songbird is beautiful but a little boring. The Chain is great. I like the abrupt stop with the cymbal. You Make Loving Fun is funky as fuck. I missed the song before it but Oh Daddy sounds insane. The guitars! The outro! Wow. "Lousy lovers pick their prey But they never cry out loud" What a good way to end the album. Damn.

entirely tuned out the first song oh daddy quite good go your own way woah a song i actually recognise?! this is fun i’d like to play this sometime gold dust woman so it’s all the same vibe but it’s a vibe i really like or mostly idk i’m enjoying i like the twang their sound has don’t stop slightly less thrilled with this one but like i would listen to it trying to decide whether i could write a better song than this undecided i think me and elin combined could it’s good but quite repetitive but i guess such is most music give me bohemian rhapsody or black parade any day could NOT write a better song than those (have tried) i don’t want to know oh this is Fun i like

Listening notes: First song not living up to the expectations set up by The Chain so far They're singing like it's a comic book fight scene Guitar solo was decent. More of that please Ooh this is meant to be one of their good ones It was fine Guitar riff on this one sounds like generic video game background music for when you enter a farm Genuinely can't hear anything else it feels like farmer crow is about to ask me to retrieve his flock of sheep in exchange for a health elixir Go Your Own Way was good Oh look a piano ballad. Incredible. Unfortunately piano ballads have a much higher threshold of quality to meet before I properly enjoy them. This one was fine I guess Let's fucking go The Chain Shame none of the rest of the album will be as good as that Very Cantaloupe Island synth part here The balls in the album cover are so distracting. Once you notice them you notice nothing else. Surely they were intentional Yeah. This album was good. They have a particular sound that they're very good at, but not one that always hits the mark with me. Still, I can appreciate it well enough and The Chain is a fantastic song so it gets a 4

There are a few songs that I knew, but the rest were also quite nice. Overall, this album was quite enjoyable to listen to and even the songs that were a bit meh were actually quite nice.

Альбом то хороший, но насколько его завышают... Лучший альбом всех времен по версии пользователей данного сайта? Сомнительно как по мне

I CAN STILL HEAR YOU SAYING YOU WOULD NEVER BREAK THE CHAINNN

I've gotten this pick almost back to back with Tusk. Both are very good and will definitely revisit them pretty soon.

A classic

What’s not to like class from start to finish. Enjoyed very much

Álbum realmente entretenido, lo escuche con escepticismo pero al final me termino encantando, menos una canción, simplemente porque es extraña, en fin, este álbum es un 8/10

I find it fascinating that virtually every Fleetwood Mac song I know is from this album. I have to assume they have more music, but the success of this album is impossible to ignore. One thing that hits me as i listen is that, while it’s certainly dated, it doesn’t seem out of place today. Much of this music would fit today with very little updating. I very much enjoy it!

Good but falls into an "overplayed" category for me. Easy to relisten to but there are clear, stronger tracks that are more fun to play specifically.

So, the ubiquitous "Rumours". By reputation, this album boasts four absolute bangers: 'Dreams', 'Don't Stop', 'Go Your Own Way', and 'The Chain'. These songs are so deeply ingrained in our pop culture that being objective about them is no easy task. They are all fine tracks - with 'Don't Stop' being the weakest of the quartet and 'The Chain' standing as my personal favourite. But do the remaining tracks actually justify the album's massive reputation? First, credit where it’s due: the production holds up remarkably well. It is crisp, clear, and vibrant. The acoustic guitars sound pristine, the vocal harmonies are beautifully layered without feeling cluttered, and Mick Fleetwood's snare drum delivers a dry slap with plenty of punch without ever becoming overpowering. To answer my own question regarding that legendary reputation, though: not quite. "Rumours" is undeniably a clever record song-wise, disguising genuine pain, heartbreak, and spite behind well-crafted, bouncy pop/rock arrangements. There isn't a bad song here, yet, aside from those four monster singles, only 'Songbird' and 'Gold Dust Woman' truly match that same level of quality and appeal. The remaining tracks are good to very good, but they don't quite hit those same heights. Taking the record as a whole, it makes for a thoroughly enjoyable, fine four-star listening experience. Side one 1 "Second Hand News" (4/5) 2 "Dreams" (5/5) 3 "Never Going Back Again" (3/5) 4 "Don't Stop" (4/5) 5 "Go Your Own Way" (5/5) 6 "Songbird" (5/5) Side two 1 "The Chain" (5/5) 2 "You Make Loving Fun" (4/5) 3 "I Don't Want to Know" (3/5) 4 "Oh Daddy" (3/5) 5 "Gold Dust Woman" (5/5) Total - 46 Average - 4.2 388/1001 206/388 albums reviewed were new to me.

Awesome stuff, well constructed. Overplayed, but that isn't a fault of the band or the music. Spellbinding music, real breezy but heartfelt.

Well that was just really good

I like The Chains and Dreams the most

5: I will happily play this album anytime 4: I may occasionally play this album of my own free will 3: I will happily listen to this if someone plays it in the background 2: I will tolerate this if it is playing in the background 1: I will leave the room if someone plays this in the background

A very enjoyable listen, unless you're called Julia.

I was 100% sure I actually listened to this album as a recommendation from here, but that doesn't seem to be the case, so must have discovered it on my own at some point 😅 Amazing, with many hits, and settled in the history of music (and witchcraft!) forever ✨

loved this album, had heard a couple songs previously

The hits make this album what it is. Those songs hold masterpiece status and always will. Some filler songs that were a bit slow and boring. Lindsey Buckingham thinks he’s John Lennon sometimes. That’s ok. I always think about how he doesn’t use a pick. Unreal. I understand why people consider this an important classic album and I do agree with that sentiment. Oh Daddy is a terrible song though just had to add some ice cold Hate-orade on this hot Seattle day!

Weird that only two (2) FM albums are on the list and their self titled ISN’T one of them. I actually do like Tusk. But… there are five (5) Byrd albums. Really. The logic of “the list,” well, you know. Anyway. People seem to LOVE Rumors. It’s interesting. Like Abbey Road. It has good songs. But a perfect album? EVERY song a gem? Yeah. I just don’t think that about either album. As a side note, I do find the cult of Stevie Nicks fascinating. She’s the one musical artist that makes my father-in-law get a distant stare and declare, “I LOVE her.” 4 Boolean: True

Great!

eh baum! melhores musicas: Dreams, The chain, Dont stop, You make loving fun

Full of hits, very enjoyable

Not my favorite Mac-Album.

Aaaaaah, there's some truly towering, majestic work on this record. A handful of songs here are absolute immortals. Is it even legal to give an album featuring "Go Your Own Way," "Don't Stop," and "Dreams" "only" four stars? Honestly, I have to admit that, aside from "You Make Loving Fun," I couldn't name many of the tracks on the B-side - even though my parents had this album on constant repeat in my childhood days. Could you?

I really liked this one. The music didn’t sound dated but you could still tell it was made in another era.

a solid set of vocalists, the vocal arranging is good, some of the guitar works is absolutely killer, songwriting is hit or miss

Me ha gustado, es como una balada rock

The first time I listened to this album I thought it was mid; besides the hits it didn't really do anything for me and I think that still stands. I also realized this time around towards the end of the album that besides Dreams & I Don't Want to Know I didn't hear much of Stevie Nicks, and maybe that's why this album doesn't do much for me. Fleetwood Mac is ok but I like Stevie Nicks

What am I a pleb? Of course I've heard it. Next.

Many people comes to this record looking for Dreams and thinking Fleetwood Mac it's a One Hit Wonder or that besides this song and Landslide they don't have much to offer. The truth is, this record as a whole is a nice gateway to rock and roll if you let go yourself by the mesmerizing and soft Adult Oriented Rock sound that can be also found in bands like Chicago, Boston or REO Speedwagon that were paving the way to the adult contemporary sound that would blast radio stations at the time. Fleetwood don't deny their blues and folk beginnings here but they actually give it a more pop oriented production, with Christine and Stevie voices so you can actually see why it's a record that divide their fans. Either way you love it or you prefer their earlier days when they were more blues rock and less keyboard. Definitely a record everyone should listen to. Easy access to the band and to rock and roll history itself.

How many times have you seen this album cover and NOT noticed Mick's balls? If you're me, hundreds of times at least. now it's all I see. and probably all you do too. You're welcome.

It’s art, I love it for them

Holy peak. Still love the Chain to this day and will never stop

Has several great and classic songs, but doesn't quite reach the top for me

Absolutely amazing, if not a little overrated. Great if your favorite parts of Fleetwood Mac and Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks, but I think it is sorely lacking more Christine McVie

A really good, solid, LP

It’s fenomenal. There are some highs and lows but overall fantastic

There are a few track here that just pins this album up a notch

tristemente el final me decepcionó, aunq me gustó.

Fleetwood Mac managed to turn intense, private human interactions into something completely universal.

So yeah, can’t call this a bad album, a bit boring except for the big hits

Loses a star because sometimes you have to listen to Lindsey

Didn't realise how many banger were on this album. Very good

The moment I hit play, a smile spread across my face and I let out a long, involuntary exhale of pure contentment. The album feels refreshing—like sunlight peeking through the clouds after a thunderstorm. It may not be the flashiest or most proactive music out there, but it overflows with irresistible earworms and radiates great chemistry from the band. I imagine this is exactly the kind of music that stomp-clap-hey millennials think they’re making.

Ahh—to feel the peace that passes all understanding that comes when an album is and continues to be everything its legend purports. The Beatles are the only other band to have housed this much talent and tension at one time. I tried...impossible to pick one favorite song. The guitar playing! The harmonies! The harmonies! The harmonies!

With Go Your Own Way and The Chain, I understand why this is a classic album. The list shows it as the number one rated album of all time, and there are just too many duds for me to rate it that way. The album is a solid 4 for the classics alone, but it's definitely not the best album of all time. Stevie's "Silver Springs" being left off this album is fucking absurd...

waow, that's a lotta bangers Standouts: Dreams • Never Going Back Again • Go Your Own Way • The Chain • You Make Loving Fun • I Don't Want to Know

Already heard. Goated

Yeah it's pretty good

I love this album a lot, top 20 oat. very solid strong 9/10. first listen tracklist ranking: 1. The Chain 2. Gold Dust Woman 3. Second Hand News 4. Go Your Own Way 5. Dreams 6. Oh Daddy 7. Don't Stop 8. Songbird 9. I Don't Want to Know 10. Never Going Back Again 11. You Make Loving Fun

yeah it's really good. The Chain has always been one of my favs. Was my first time listening to the whole album so i discovered I Don't Wanna Know which is now in my playlist! The Chain is just this one of a kind songs, and the others, you know it, have this feel-good vibe. I am hesitating to say it's a 5, but definitely a solid 4/5

fave song: The Chain

lots of classics but some songs were just alright

Duas músicas muito boa

This record goes down so smooth. Everyone adores it and for good reason. The music is fantastic, and the cheating and drama is the secret sauce. My favorites are Second Hand News and The Chain. Stevie's vocals are in every good song on here and all of my personal skips are ones she's not on or isn't as visible on.

yea i know rumors

Classic album and iconic cover

From what I’ve heard so far it’s pretty good, it’s something different. Favourite song so far is the chain. Finished the album, I liked 9/11 songs on the album. Final rating would be 8.3/10

Dreams is one of the best songs ever made.

I know there's a general feeling that younger generations are picking this album back up again and it's heavily skewed into the 5 star range. As a kid I always thought Fleetwood Mac was relatively lame from the radio play they got. Later on as an adult I listened to Tusk and that was kind of the foot-in-the-door for my enjoyment of Fleetwood Mac. When I rate albums on here I try not to go off of anything but how it sounds when I listen to it actively. Recently I heard about some passages from David Byrne's book 'How Music Works' that is making me think that I am probably ignoring a bunch of elements that do a disservice to how I understand what is being presented. I know deep down that album covers matter, this one has a classic one. The entire underlying story of this album makes it essential to know about. When great art comes out of just utter chaos I love it because if it's outside of anyone's control it's just that much harder to fake it. My favorite tracks on here are probably the basic ones, 'Dreams', 'The Chain', 'Gold Dust Woman'. These are incredible pieces of music and I'm so glad they exist. 'Don't Stop' is probably the weakest one on here. If it hadn't been on here I might have gone 5 stars. The definitely belongs on whatever list is being made for top albums even if it's not my favorite.

nice!

inarguably some great songs (all time classics even) on this album, and as a first time listener I was impressed! but also partly a result of subconsciously knowing so many of these. Great to hear Go Your Own Way outside of a car ad context. The second half of The Chain was also great (is that a basic opinion to have?)

This would be the easiest 5 but you know what? It isn’t. Because Songbird is so boring and Oh Daddy sucks. If they’d kept Silver Springs in and taken those out it would’ve been the best album of all time.

It's Fleetwood Mac, obviously I love it! Just not a full I love it enough to give it a 5

вот мы и встретились снова все еще считаю переоцененной шляпой, но ладно, на 25 прослушивание зашло

4.2 3x+ very great

Vraiment bon mais manque de passage marquant au-delà des gros titres.

Made me say “oooh she tol’ him!”. Yes. Like.

Someone i knew once described it as "niche and underground" – the opposite of this album. And thank goodness for that! Because if there is somewhere who hasn't listened to this album, are you doing alright? You will never go back (haha) after listening to this

Thought it was fun and created a great soundscape. Will listen again

This is literal peak and perfection compared to yesterday’s awful album (Kollaps album). So many great tracks and it’s an easy 8 or 9/10

8.5/10 A collection of great popsongs with a fascinating backstory. Absolute highlight is The Chain, with it's slow buildup and enormously satisfying release when the iconic bassline kicks in. There are a couple of less interesting songs too. I'm not overly fond of McVie's contributions. Highlights: The Chain Gold Dust Woman Go Your Own Way Dreams Don't Stop Second Hand News

Every track a pop hit. And the backstory makes it an even better story of sex, drugs and rock'n'roll

The singles are exceptional

The universal answer to give me a piece of art that was caused by great suffering. I do think this is a great record with great pop rock songs that have become staples in the classic rock pantheon and will stand the test of time. But it does have some overly sentimental moments that make it slightly cheezy (songbird unfortunately falls into this category) I prefer the self titled Fleetwood Mac album before this where Buckingham and Nicks joined. I find songs better than their parallels on rumours (Rhiannon I like a lot more than dreams, Monday morning I prefer to second hand news and say you love me I like a lot more than both of McVies inclusions on rumours ) and also I prefer earlier albums such as then play on with Peter Green and Bare trees with Danny Kirwan and Bob Welch. By no means is this a bad album, I just think the others are better and deserve to be talked about more.

4,4/5

the best part of this album is mcvie's bassline in "the chain". "dreams" good too. buckingham tunes are solid. the album's low points are christine mcvie tunes. "songbird" and "oh daddy" are not my thing. but i like "you make loving fun". tusk is better.

spoczi loczi calkiem szczegolnie druga piosenka mega banger

As much as the hits on this are mega-hits, it doesn’t quite hit as a whole package for me. I find the Lindsey Buckingham solo outings give me the irrits, whereas when you team him up with Christine McVie or Stevie Nicks, the results are sublime. Great, but probably not one I’m likely to listen to the whole album, I’ll just cherry pick the hits and be happy with that

i never had the opportunity to listen to this album but finally did thanks to this website lol!! such refreshing and beautiful music to listen to

muito bom!!! melhor recomendação até agora. já tinha visto essa capa antes, mas nunca tinha ido atrás do album. timing estranhamente bom, pq eu abri esse site justamente depois de ver um story de alguém com dreams desse album. não só gostei do album, como descobri que uma artista que eu gosto fez um ep com covers de algumas músicas de fleetwood mac!!! gaged dms!!

I thought this would have been higher for me. But there were a number of songs that were just ok. Still a four.

Dreams is lovely and a lot of other classics. This one is pretty good.

this was created by scientists in a lab to be a universally liked album
