Rumours

There are some iconic songs on this album, and personally, much as I admire him as a guitarist, I'm generally not a big fan of Lindsey Buckingham's songwriting ('Never Going Back Again,' one of his tracks on this album, is good, though). I do like Christine McVie's and Stevie Nicks' songs; some I like quite a bit. Love both their voices and they are excellent lyricists, especially Nicks. I like the sadness mixed with hope I can hear in the songs on this album. They all have great senses of melody; super-hard for me not to hum or sing along with nearly all tracks on this album, even the songs I don't fully like.

Nice

Already have listened to this album is snazzy I like it. The chain will always be my favorite fm song.

It's a love/meh album. A lot of tens, and a lot of sevens.

Has some bangers.

Good but not all that people say.

it's meh, "trilha de novela"

Not a huge fan of this album, in part because I way over-heard it when it was released. I also prefer the earlier incarnations of the Mac. It is technically a good pop album, I'm just not big on it.

Cool stuff! Like the classics

classics

Lots of hits on this album. Not a repeat listen for me.

No, it's all true.

Yksi legendaarinen leka ja soi hyvin noin muutenkin

To be honest, I had this on while busy. So it didn't get a full, critical listen, but it never jumped to my attention either.

I find the format and slow moving pace to be boaring.

I feel peer pressure to give this high rating but it's not my cup of tea.

Aside from go your own way I find this album really tedious I know tons of my friends love it and are always talking about it but I think it’s boring. Sorry.

Unimpressed. I've been avoiding this record since I started the albums generator, it's so overwhelmingly popular that it starts off on its own after listening to a lot of the classics that we're coursing through. I guess the important part is that I get it. There's a lot of work on the strings, the bass is a protagonist, so is the guitar, so are the vocals, it's a well balanced piece from a strictly academic perspective. Now, on a more personal note, it feels like just an extension of Americana or country-forward sounds. It also carries some studio tricks that predate a lot of the classic '80s radio play that saturated the waves even today some 40ish years later. I don't appreciate it, but I understand how influential this is. It is impressive to mesh sounds that are both traditionally English with sounds that are definitely American folk, it ends up being exactly why I dislike pop-rock, with one or two standout tracks that I can't hate because they're super well pulled off. I can now say this is a boring addition to any record collection. It's not that special, it's just historic and ridiculously easy to digest. I gave it a second listen in the afternoon and it was extra annoying, I got to feel the cheese ooze from it. 2.5/5

2.5

ta gueno, de todo solo me enganche con una canción pero creo q no es un estilo músical con el q conecte mucho,,,

No es para nada mi estilo, pero rescaté una canción buenísima.

Track 1: annoying how he pronounces "know" as "low". Fun chorus Track 2: Overrated. The lyrics annoy me but the instrumental is good Track 3: nice acoustic song. Would probably be better without vocals Track 4: cheesy song. Not a fan Track 5: cheesy intro and don't like how he says some of the lines "but how can I ever change things that I feeeeeeelllll?" Track 6: nooooooooo Track 7: nice Western style song Track 8: Christine McVie's voice is just not nice to listen to Track 9: filler Track 10: nope Track 11: strong chorus but the rest of it is kinda boring I do not like Christine McVie's songs. Favorite song: The Chain Rating 2/5

I never liked it his one

Just no

Disc y banda sobrevalorados. A la gente parece que le gusta mucho saber y comentar la vida sentimental de los componentes pero omite el asunto de la música. Muy bien por los fans de las telenovelas, pero musicalmente no es gran cosa. Tienen un gran guitarrista, eso sí.

i think it was a bit boring, it probably was more innovative when it first came out my favorite song was the chain

Chill i guess, who doesnt know „dreams“, I suppose good and really popular Album, not my stuff

Sick of it, frankly.

Me gustan sus 2 canciones más famosas Dreams y The Chain, pero el resto del disco no se me hace tan bueno.

Fleetwood whack. Songs that shaved this shit from being 1 star: Go your own way, the chain

BRO WHAT DID I JUST LISTEN TO???? :sob: :skeleton: good songs: The Chain, Gold Dust Woman rest is either mid or bad (Oh Daddy) I am disappointed.

Probably the best of the MOR Fleetwood Mac, but no comparison to the original band.

A shoo-in for top-10 overrated. People talk about this MOR tosh like it’s some great work of art, when it’s just music for people who don’t really like music.

Anyone who thinks this is a great album does so because they feel nostalgia towards it. At best, this is a mediocre roadtrip album except The Chain, at worst, this is a KingFM album. Bunch of emotionally challenged and immature people, dissing and praising each other's equally stupid lovers. I don't even know why this album is SO damn highly rated. Except Fleetwood and Mac, everyone in the group has someone much talented. Kate Bush beats Nicks, physically and musically AND culturally, Lindsay wishes he has a boy's name and guitar skills of an average bluesman. I wish they'd practice music more than they practiced human anatomy on each others labias and dicks. Jesus christ i'm sick of this mid ass group

Definetely overrated. 'The Chain' isn't a bad track, but to have this record as the best rated above all albums on this list is outrageous. They massacred Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac and transformed it into a bland pastiche of soft dad rock, if you can call it that.

The Chain me parece buena canción. Dreams está bien, y las demás meh. Entiendo porque a la gente en general le puede gustar el álbum, se deja escuchar, pero jamás lo consideraría número 1, no está ni cerca.

1. neuuz - 1 2. dreamz - 3 3. again - 1 4. ztop - 1.5 5. go -1.5 6. zong - 1 7. chain - 2 8. fun - 2 9. knouu - 1 10. daddy - 1 11. gold - 1.5

Nehh.

Some good jams but I simply can't overall with Fleetwood Mac. I respect that this album is important and meaningful to people. Adult Contemporary.

Åååå dette er så aah overrated pop folkrock idk hva kalle det americana idfk er bare årrr gud gimme a break jeg sovner 2/5

Bumper sticker that says "I'd Rather Be Listening To Fleetwood Mac's 1979 Double LP "Tusk""

I have totally skipped this band, so this is the very first listen: It sounds surprisingly not outdated...It is okay...would I listen to it again, probably not...

Ihan kuunneltavaa tämä

Besides two extremely good songs, I really don't like this album and I find most of Fleetwood Mac to be insufferably overrated after they added Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.

Klassikko levy joka ei kolahtanut. Äänimaailma tosi kapea ja laiska. Biisit eivät - hittibiisejä lukuunottamatta - iskeneet.

Ни хорошо, ни плохо, но слегка попсово

My wife had roommates who liked this record way too much and she is still traumatized. Marking it down out in solidarity.

Ok, rather pleasant, but not sure I'd return to it on my own.

Almost sleepy stuff

Once again, backgorund music with few ups.

Not my type of music, kinda bored listening to it.

I get it, but it's not for me. Half marks. Some good ones and that nostalgia, but i don't like several of the band's characteristics.

It's fine I guess? I couldn't listen to more than 3 songs though.

Não que seja ruim, só acho que não sou o público alvo. Toda vez que ouço Fleetwood Mac eu espero encontrar o je ne sais quoi mágico que vai finalmente fazer a banda ser interessante pra mim, mas nunca encontrou.

Just never been a fan. It's all very Meh.

Most of the songs fade out if compared with the album's hit. I'd single out the outro song "Gold Dust Woman". However, almost all of tye other songs are forgotten once you finish them. Essentially a one-hit record.

I feel like everyone sees in Fleetwood Mac something that I don't seem to. I won't get into the childish "overrated" rants (that I agree with!), but something about this just generally isn't that great. It's not the worst thing ever, but it's not as amazing as people say it is. Too pop. Feels like driving to somewhere you don't want to at 7 a.m and this is what's playing on the radio. And on one hand you're like, "okay, good music", and on the other you're like, "okay, the bad side of good music" and your day just becomes more miserable. And by "good" I generally mean "of quality." And so, I feel like "the bad good music" is the perfect category for this album (and the band in general, at least as for now - as in their works that I have heard, not works released. I don't think they need to release new songs just for me to judge if they're good yet. They can if they want to, though. Aww that'd be nice of them!) The only song I can say I liked is "You Make Loving Fun." I also think that the songs being so overplayed really affected what I think of them and their tolerability. 2.5/5 sorry :(

meh, overplayed

Second album de FM, après Tusk qui ne m'avait pas plu. J'ai reconnu quelques morceaux dans ce nouvel album, mais j'ignorais qu'ils étaient de ce groupe : Don't stop + Go your own way ++ Mais les autres morceaux ne m'ont pas vraiment accroché, en particulier les morceaux plus lents. Certes les harmonies vocales sont intéressantes, mais l'accompagnement n'est pas très original. Je n'y reviendrais pas. =>2/5

I realize I am in the great minority, but I really don’t like this album. Never have. Objectively, it’s not bad music. I just don’t care for Stevie Nicks’ voice (again, I know an unpopular opinion) and don’t remember ever not being sick of hearing any of these songs. The only song I kind of enjoyed was Never Going Back Again, which doesn’t have Nicks singing and I’ve never heard before, so maybe I might like earlier Fleetwood Mac. I have just always hated this album. For personal preference, it’s a 1/5, but because I realize the songs themselves are not “bad,” I’ll give it a 2/5.

fine

Jesus, I hope I can get through this. It was fine

einige bekannte songs, that‘s it - ich mochte Fleetwood Mac nie besonders.

so che questo è qualcosa come il miglior album di sempre eccetera ma ho paura che non faccia per me rym 4.03 infatti mi sto annoiando un sacco questa musica non ha nulla da dirmi, è tutto così pulito e chiaro che mi rende l'ascolto insopportabile 2/5 mi dispiace

Meh. 2/5

The Chain is the only song I really like on this album.

it's well done . but not my cup of tea.

If it weren't for Stevie Nicks this would be 1 star. I never paid attention to Fleetwood Mac before. All I ever knew was that old people seem to love it. Little did I know, I've already heard nearly every song on this album before. I FUCKING hated it. That guys voice dude. It evokes some bad feelings. It reminds me of some lame ass old, dead inside, lethargic, middle-aged, farty, white man from Vancouver Washington. Fuck this music dude.

Quite frankly couldnt wait for the album to finish. There were sparks here and there, but overall it felt dragged out and uninventive YNN

meh

not as bad as I feared. most people seem to like the harmonies.. I do not. the ones where it's just Cristine singing are not so bad.

It's just kind of boring. Dreams is...OK, I guess ? Not for me, thanks.

shrug

I think I've come a long way since starting this project, I can even stomach Bob Dylan's harmonica shoegaze now, but man do I not understand the obsession with some of these albums. It's not bad at all, has a few good songs (The Chain and Gold Dust Woman), but there's really nothing special

No es el estilo de música que más me agrade...

Okaaay, I just listened to this, closely. I've HEARD this album and all it's songs SO MANY TIMES over the decades and have NEVER enjoyed it. When it was released I was one year out of high school and all of the preppy kids that I went to school with loved and worshiped this album. That was one reason why I disliked this music and later when I was a little bit older I spent some time listening to the early Fleetwood Mac which I really found some pleasure in doing. But this album is so strictly pop that I do not find any pleasure from listening to it. It's overplayed and simplistic and ugh ugh ugh I'm sorry.

teilweise ok, wenn auch nicht mitreißend

Meh.

average

I don't get the love.

A couple great songs. Rest is pretty meh.

not my style of music

few good songs otherwise pretty bad

It has a couple of moments (Never Going Back Again, The Chain) but it’s mostly pretty dull soft rock nonsense.

Too Folk

Another track by track review: 1. Awful lyric with an especially annoying chorus. 2. The instrumental is kind of a hippie version of 70s soft rock. Stevie's vocal and lyrics are the only enjoyable thing here. 3. Another Lindsey Buckingham song. This guy is trying to be Paul Simon but he sounds like a shitty backup singer for The Eagles. And the words are really trash. He's got nothing to say. 4. The radio hit. It's not bad except it has that "honky-tonk" 1970s thing that turns me off. 5. Yecch. The rhythm section does sound good here despite the rest. 6. And a ballad to close out the first side. Perfect. It's OK I guess. I like it the way I like The Carpenters. 7. Kinda bluesy like a softer Led Zeppelin or Heart but without any edge whatsoever. 8. On a very white album this might be the only number with any kind of soul. Unfortunately it has that gross 70s way of writing about romance and sex that gives me the ick. Is this what set the mood for the conception of millions of people my age? I can't let myself even entertain the thought. 9. I really like Nicks' voice. I really do not like Buckingham's voice. I know this band was basically a polycule before that even existed but Stevie and Christine should have started their own thing. 10. The fuck? OK I take it back. Stevie Nicks is the only good thing in this group. 11. I could have sworn Kiss had a song by this same name.

On kuvaavaa, että levyn paras ja tarttuvin biisi, Go Your Own Way, enteilee makeilevaa kasaripoprokkia. Toisaalta parempi se kuin tylsyyden ja vaikeasti siedettävän pehmeyden välimaasto, johon suurin osa levystä jämähtää. Tuntevatko ihmiset todella olonsa mukavaksi kuunnellessaan tätä?

Ha uno stile incredibilmente moderno per essere degli anni 70. Comunque non mi dice tantissimo.

Really not a fan of Fleetwood Macs stuff after Peter Green left!

ну я чот не слышал ваще такой группы раньше. Ваще когда поет мужик, то иногда квин напоминает слегка

Trash mixed in with some of the best songs of all time, we need more Stevie nicks!!!! Any song without her sucked in comparison. Wouldn't listen to the whole album through again, but the chain and dreams are absolute classics

There are moments when I’m tempted to give this two stars then everything else happens…one star. Tom.

Overrated

No

Lifeless soft rock.

I think this album is overrated as hell but also it's probably because it comes up on the radio station at work every few days :/

Yes Stop

Un disco muy pero muy sobrevalorado, probablemente en el top 3 de sobrevaloración. Las rolas chidas son Dreams, Never Going Back Again, Go Your Own Way y por mucho, muchísimo la mejor: The Chain. Lo demás es basura cocainómana. Hasta me emputa escuchar esta basura.

Some classic hits on this

Killer

Ok
