Rumours

This album is in my top 20 of all time. Classic!

This was one that took me a while to "get" so to speak. But you can hear the sexual tension between the two leads and how it shaped this masterful album. Fantastic from end to end. 9.6/10

A primeira impressão já foi boa.

I have loved this album for so long

Classic!

The second best-rated album, the Second album I got. It's a solid and uplifting album throughout. An essential listen for those who are interested in discovering historically iconic music.

Great album before listening. It will be nice to listen to it from start to finish. Really want the vinyl of this. Still great. Love it

Vu que j’ai déjà écouté cette petite merveille musicale plus d’une fois, j’ai décidé d’écouter la version Super Deluxe. 3h47 des mêmes chansons qui deviennent de moins en moins mixées adéquatement m’a rendu un peu coco vers la 5e fois que j’entendais Go Your Own Way, mais all and all, ça a quand même passée vite

10/10 Perfect even with the dangling lavatory chains.

Why do I ever listen to anything other than this album? It's so good. I always forget.

Did not listen. However am well familiar with it, it's 5 stars

Perfect pop from a great band who was derived from an even greater 3 guitar blues band

Ok, so, i've saw this album soo many times in different things and places, never in my life listed to it until now, and i'm actually very suprised about this. I nearly knew every song here! It's just full of hits for me, while i was listening to it i danced and even sang some of the songs that were here, that made me love it. Without a doubt i can say this is one of the greatest albums of that decade and even of history. I'm not related yo this type of music, that's why i actually didn't knew how many stars put it, but less than 5 stars was fair.

Didn't really recognize any of these song titles, but knew nearly every song. Knew "Don't Stop" and didn't even realize it was Fleetwood Mac. Great all around album, varying styles, multiple singers.

If you don’t rate this one a 5 stars you’re wrong. It’s one of the best selling albums of all time for a reason.

When people 'complain' about the music of the 70s only being disco, this album, along with Boston and Foreigner, are the albums that I bring up to let everyone know that there is a great deal of non disco-based music that cam out in the late 70s.

This sounds like cocaine and champagne with lots of fuck yous. I adore this album & love that Silver Springs was added on the extended version. That song is witchcraft sung by the witchiest woman in rock. Time cast a spell on all of us. Phenomenal album.

A great album from beginning to end.

One of my favorite albums of all time.

One of my favorites!

Dope album, one of my faves

Unreal that this isn't a greatest hits album. It was their 11th studio album too! Crazy. 7 of the 11 are certified bangers, the other 4 are good too (just slower). An easy 5. Gotta be one of the best albums ever.

You don’t get much more perfect than Rumors. If there’s any LP that’s stood the test of time, it’s this one. From the masterful guitar in Never Going Back Again to the foot-stomping joy of Don’t Stop; from the beauty of Songbird to the rich harmonic outro of The Chain, Fleetwood Mac are a true musical blessing to the world.

Amazing album. Was on heavy rotation in my youth. In my personal top ten rock albums of all time.

Il aura été long à se décanter celui là. Est-il vraiment si génial que ça? Mérite-t-il ses 5 étoiles qui lui semblent promises sans contestation? Oui, sans doute quand même. Il y a quelques faiblesses vers la fin, des moments plus géniaux que d’autres, oui mais le niveau est très élevé, les conditions d’écriture et d’enregistrement tellement extrêmes émotionnellement que le résultat est à peine croyable : des couples qui se déchirent, divorcent, certains repartant avec d’autres, tout en s’envoyant des chansons écrites à plusieurs mains dont certaines sont les cocus, les malheureux, les libérés… Et le résultat est harmonieux, parfois lumineux, 5 personnes à l’unisson malgré les souffrances et les déchirures. C’est assez beau d’en arriver à s’exprimer comme cela. Beaucoup de titres qui restent, presque tous en fait, sauf peut être les deux dernières qui finissent par passer inaperçus. Même “The Chain”, dont le début n’est pas fou est sauvé par une basse énorme. Le gros tube est “Go your own way” et gros retour de hype de “Dreams”. Perso j’aime beaucoup “Never going back again” et “I don’t want to know”.

One of the top albums of the last century. Everything about these songs is defining.

❤️

Such a cool, relaxing, symphony. 5/5

It's astounding something so great can come from so much drama and dysfunction. A perfect album from beginning to end.

My first album (in first grade) and I can still listen to it in its entirety. Pretty much perfect.

Look, it's a five. It was always going to be a five. Damn this album is just so good.

Players only love you when they’re playin

Simply perfect

Dysfunctional people often make incredible music. Great album. I don't care for all of the softer songs, but nothing to complain about.

Discazo

The greatest album of all time

Solido do começo ao fim. Um dos albuns mais dançantes que ja tive a honra de ouvir

A good classic. Lots of uplifting vibe.

There is a reason this album is considered by many as one of the best of all time. The harmonies are glorious, melodies infectious, lyrics meaningful. Every song is a masterpiece. Christine McVie sings two of the only songs on the entire album that aren’t on radio repeat and those are two of the most beautiful melodies on a nearly perfect album!

Such an iconic album. Definitely on the top shelf. 5/5

stevie nix literally crushes this album from start to finish. will listen to the entire thing now

I absolutely love EVERY single song on this album -- such an influential sound both in 1977 and still today

Yay! A favourite! Such a classic. Each song was so different from the next - and none of them bad! A 'must listen' again, and again, and again!

Boah grad realisiert das ich Quicksilver Messenger Service ernsthaft es 4i geh ha, well fuck naja jetzt isch zu spaht. Jede macht mal fehler. Für mich irgendwie ähnlich Depeche Mode im Sinn vo dasi nur ein zwei songs kennt ha und nie so es ganze Album devo gloset han. Aber ngl es het echt banger songs druf. Aso "Dreams" isch ja logisch (isch ja au voll de hype drum rum). Gliches für "The Chain". "Oh Daddy" Au geil, au wenns jetzt irgendwie weniger gstreamed worde isch. Ja aso eigentlich klar ganz stabiles Album, prob miis best rated Album (zemme mit eminem, haters gonna hate ;D) 4.9/5

Sorry sind am skifahre gsi und denn derf mer ja mal s eint oder s ander album verpasse hani ghört😂🫶🏼 Hey ja fleetwood mac isch eif guet? Macht spass z lose!

jede song en banger

oke vorweg ich lieb das album worschinli top 10 ever isch au kein hot take es isch afoch extreeem guet. second hand news fuuuck. fick. aaaah. es tönt so knackig alles s baut langsam uuf, de song isch so simpel aber gsangsharmonies sind so schön. dreams isch uunglaublich ein vode beste breakup songs überhaupt. d melancholie und s schwebende glück glichzitig uii. never goong back so cute. dont stop lauft mer regelmässig noh und s isch immer in guete moment. go your own way au en breakup song fürd ewigkeit. songbird. mann sie singed alli soo guet. the chain herzstuck vom album und beste song. da heisst öppis. wie hend sie gmacht. you make loving fun vergissi amel wie chrank guet de song isch. bgvs mann. fuuuck. oh daddy (ich weisnich digga muss des) gold dust woman. ihri stimme passed afoch chraank guet zeme. eazy home-run-überhaupt-kein-zwiifel-lockers füfi.

It's THE Rock/Pop album, along with PREFAB SPROUT’S “Steve McQueen” (1985) There's just so much right with it. The entire album is packed with melodies you'll never get out of your head, lyrics you'll contemplate spitting bitterly during your next lover's tiff, great guitar work from Lindsey Buckingham, an-array of diverse and wonderful vocalists and songwriters, and spikey hints of the trauma the group was going through while making it. Just observe how unhinged "Second Hand News" is - it tries to be jolly in the face of depression and ends up borderline insane. And how acute and cutting is that chorus on "Dreams"? "Women they will come, and they will go, but when the rain washes you clean, you'll know." Buckingham's last-ditch attempt to get over his break-up on "Go Your Own Way" is utter perfection, and "The Chain" is even better - all 5 members dissecting their infidelities and failings for all the world to listen to. Need I even mention that bassline? It truly says something for the power of this record that songs as good as Christine McVie's awesome contributions, "Don't Stop", "You Make Loving Fun", "Oh Daddy" and "Songbird", don't even stand out. Any other group would kill for songs like these, but in Fleetwood Mac, they were casually being knocked off by the keyboard player.

IMO one of the 25 best albums of all time.

Perfect 70s AOR. Oh Daddy is the only one I’d consider skipping and it’s stuffed with solid gold classics. Production is fantastic (the drums and bass in particular sound great). Buckingham’s guitar parts are always just the right side of the wanky/tasteful continuum and the way the layer acoustic parts with electric gives it depth. Add to that three really good songwriters and vocalists and you have an absolute classic. The previous album is my all time favourite of theirs, but the soap opera nature of this adds a little something. It’s Rumours FFS

Any day, all day! Love them - always have.

Yes! A wonderful classic album. Always enjoy it. A great way to start my day.

Has to be 5 stars.

All the ladies love this magnificent album and so do I.

Stone classic. Everybody I know has a different favorite song from this album, and they're all right (mine's Gold Dust Woman).

This is an excellent album. Not one bad song. Always worth listening to.

Not my fav Fleetwood Mac album, but almost every song is a hit. Dreams and The Chain??? Iconic

Excellent album...a classic!

Nothing new to be said about this album - it’s a great one - and it’s also amazingly produced, amazingly sung, and amazingly performed.

I'm not the biggest fan of Fleetwood Mac - I could never get behind the drama and the history of the band, or why that would make the music any better. But it's undeniable that this is one of the best albums of all time, especially when the layman knows well over half the songs on it. It's catchy, it's diverse, it's succinct. Undeniably great.

Ever track a classic

Truly brilliant album, one of the best ever written. I'm trying to envision a scenario where a musical group goes through this much turmoil to create an absolute masterpiece simply because they all respect each other too much as artists. And I've pretty much reached the conclusion that it could never happen today. It's honestly pretty amazing it even happened back then. Favorite track: Break the Chain

Masterpiece

Album Nr. 25 Endlich mal wieder ein durch und durch gutes Album.

Actually not my favorite Fleetwood Mac album (that goes to the previous, self-titled album), but still an easy 5 stars.

An absolutely iconic album with practically every song being a hit. I love how there were so many different songs writers in the band so they could all write songs talking shit about eachother while they were all banging different people in the band. I'm guessing that this is going to be a top 10 maybe even top 5 rated album on this list, and for good reason

Dreams is an absolute bop of a song. Probably the most over played Mac song but it still hits and is so breezy. It’s a song I’m almost always in the mood to hear. Never Going Back Again is a great easy tune. Don’t Stop and Go Your Own Way are admittedly good song, but something rubs me wrong about them for some reason. Songbird is relatively new one for me, but hearing Yim Yames incorporate it into Phone Went West at Bonnaroo made me ascend. His version is 100000x better than this fight me. The Chain is also one that I can listen to most of the time. While I’ve never been too particular about Fleetwood Mac this got the advantage of me listening to this on a beautiful day walking outside. Also the fact they created all these jams while coked tf out and everyone banging each other is impressive in itself.

Hot damn!!

A classic for obvious reasons. Nothing to complain about

I listen to this often, classic rock fan that I am. It inspired me years ago to look into Fleetwood Mac deeper. Nothing like the early stuff. I lean towards the Buckingham-Nicks group.

Nearly hit after hit, nearly perfect album, nearly giving this 100/100, but i would give "Rumours" an easy 5/5. Favourite song(s): "Dreams", "Never Going Back Again", "Go Your Own Way", "Songbird", "The Chain", "I Don't Want to Know".

I saw Fleetwood Mac come up and was immediately excited. Then I started listening and thought, maybe these songs are too tired and dated, maybe not as good as I thought, overused. But then I got to the end and said , "I need to listen to this again. Right now"

It’s rare that an album is this universally acclaimed both critically and commercially, but it is just that good.

Clásico instantaneo e indiscutible. Imprescindible. Pop-rock fresco, melodias preciosas, hits reconocibles y una continiudad en todo el disco admirable. Grupo en estado de gracia. Altamente recomendable.

Great music

It holds up. I didn’t *need* to listen to this album. But I did, anyway.

Det er sådan poprock skal lyde

It is understandable why this particular Fleetwood Mac album would be so highly rated as it is chock-full of great songs by a great band. I would not say it is their absolute best but it is "in the running" as it were.

I don't think there was one bad song on this one!

One of my favourite albums of all time, such a delightful experience to listen to it anytime I can.

Oh snap! All but 3 songs off this album are already saved in my playlists, but I’ve never listened to the album itself. It’s a perfect as you’d imagine. Nothing out of place. No sour notes. Beautiful music.

Banger after banger after banger after banger. Drugs and emotion fueled the fire to create one of the greatest albums of all time. Just sucks that the band hated each other recording the majority of this album.

I'm in my 70's. Who my age doesn't love fleetwood mac?

Excellent lp

9/10 - 5/5 Much more variety than the previous albums I got. Amazing instrumentation, along with surprises like castanets. Several top 100 songs and some I didn't know I knew. Great vocals and songwriting. A good album to really sit and listen to.

Sound track of the 70's

Awesome

Honestly there are lots of classical Fleetwood Mac song on this album and is a very very good album

Taking me wayyyy back! This is the soundtrack of my childhood! Love it!

Strong candidate for greatest album of all time.

One of my all-time favorite albums, (and an all-time favorite for the world). Instant 5 stars, I probably didn’t even need to listen to it again—I’ve heard it so many times that I can practically hear the whole thing in my mind. Nonetheless, I relished the opportunity for another listen. There’s nothing I can say that hasn’t been said about this remarkable album, so I’ll end with this: there is probably no greater collection of songs that exists—every track is top notch, even my least favorite. A perfect record, and the third I would give 6/5 to if I could—the others being “Songs in the Key of Life” and “Dark Side of the Moon.” (How do I pick just one song for my playlist?)

Hit after classic hit. Easy 5.

Great. Start to Finish!

Finally an album worthy of being on the 5-star list. Great sounding record... cleaner then most modern records. Haunting Vocals and catchy riffs. Dreams, Never Going back Again, The Chain, GoldDust Woman all top tier songs.

Very interesting.

Love it. Classic

Classic!

One of the greatest albums of all time. Dreams is one of the best songs of all time. Don't Stop is an ear worm. Go Your Own Way is a classic. Songbird might be one of the greatest love songs written The Chain is a favorite You Make loving Fun 8/10 fun love song I Don't Want To Know 8/10 simple but catchy Oh Daddy is scathing

Russ almost gave it a 5, I also almost want to give it a 5. So, I will, and Russ amd I can average out to giving it a 4.5. Great album overall.

One of the best rock bands ever. Stevie Nicks at her best. Enough said!

Excellence.

Most people know this classic rock album. Some say it is soft rock. Well, damn good music is what is! And that is because Fleetwood Mac have always been able to point out more the roll in Rock'n'Roll. Few bands are able to pull this off. Think about that.

My father hates this album because it was "overplayed" at the time of its release. "IT WAS EVERYWHERE. I COULDN'T ESCAPE," he said. So, as a teenager I avoided it... and I'm still pissed he ever told me this. I wanted to hate it because I wanted to be like my father, BUT I FUCKING LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT IT.

What is there to say, one of the most perfect albums of all time. Filled with raw emotion, hurt, and love... and some of the best diss tracks in music history.

Is a masterpiece full of passion and elaborated compositions, great music assembly and awesome hits through the whole album.

Just a classic

An all time favorite

As close to a perfect album as I've ever heard. Hit after hit. The dynamics of the three songwriting styles is great and keeps you hooked after for the next song. Easy 5 for me.

Love. Classic!

It is interesting what you associate with music - although I was 10 in 1977 I am not sure if I remember the singles, or just loved them from hearing them on the radio later, but my thoughts mostly went to the part in the Discovery of Witches books where the Bishop house plays Fleetwood Mac constantly to Diana.

Have it on vinyl.

These massive albums and cultural defining music included are always difficult to critically evaluate due to their ubiquity, if you're a fan and know some of the backstories, difficult to disassociate from... still an all time classic that continues to resonate today. Oh Daddy is the only track that wasn't a significant hit. I will say the new Atmos mixes sound great.

It’s probably not cool to like this album as much as I do, but I do. Every track is a standout. Perfect album.

Eines der besten Alben jemals, sicher top 3 für mich.

I love cowboy folk music. awesome album!! personal top3 in no order: The Boll Weevil Bed Bug Blues Salty Dog

Phantastisches Album! Mehr kann ich dazu nicht sagen. 8.8/10

Excellent album! Lots of songs I already knew but even some of the other ones I enjoyed.

Undoubtely amongst the best albums ever written. I Listended by chance to "Tusk" earlier today, and whilst the musicianship and production might be even better on that record, there is a nerve and consistency on Rumour that speaks much stronger to me.

A couple songs don't work for me, but the overall strength of the album and the perfection of many songs makes this undoubtedly one of the greatest albums ever

It’s tempting to say “how could I not like this?” But I think actually the album might actually have a couple of duds. It’s not a perfect album, but it’s really close and I’ll forgive them for the duds. Especially if I let Silver Springs end the album. Shame that one didn’t make it on the official release. It’s clearly the best Fleetwood Mac song.

Nice

Still shockingly good, downright mythical. Simply a masterpiece.

So many iconic hits peppered with some great filler. So close to perfect. Easy 5 Repeats:dreams, don't stop, go your own way, the chain, oh daddy Skips: second hand news

I’ve Never been a big fan of Fleetwood Mac, but it’s hard not to recognize the brilliance of this album. Nine of the 11 songs are played frequently on classic rock radio with only Songbird and oh daddy, not receiving airplay on my local stations. Apparently cocaine and relationship drama really got the creative juices flowing.

already listened to it but i love it ✨✨✨✨✨

Easily Top 10 of all time

Perfect!

a goddarn masterpiece, Im in absolutely awe of the warmness of the sound here, and the absolute perfection of the songwriting, legendary timeless stuff

Great album

Beziehungsprobleme ! Platin Record ! und immer noch super hörbar! 🎧📻🎸

Zeitlos. Richtige MUSIK

Thank you Stevie and co. for saving me from the recent run of albums I've had. This is the pop album that all other pop albums should be compared to, just unbeliveable songwriting and performances that keeps you enthralled without effort for the whole album. The chorus of 'Dreams', the energy of 'Go Your Own Way', the bass riff in 'The Chain', the beautiful vocals of 'Songbird', the groove of 'You Make Loving Fun'. Pop music doesn't have to mean basic and sticking within the boundaries, you can make fantastic art within the genre like this.

Banger after banger. Classic album. Love it.

Don't need to listen to hand out 5 stars. This was on the turntable at every party. I've owned it and played it constantly yet never get sick of it. One of my top 5.

I mean cmon. Probably greatest single album of all time.

Cool

Some many great tracks! Super Album!

look there's a reason that boomers fawn over this album. the production is incredible, there might not be a better sounding album out there. the songwriting is great. everyone in this band is firing on all cylinders. the first side is definitely stronger than the second side. the weak points to me are two of the christine mcvie tracks, songbird and oh daddy. they're not bad, just kind of boring for me. i'd like to be a contrarian about this album, but on the strength of all the other tracks (hell, this album is basically a greatest hits of fleetwood mac on its own) i just simply can't.

Obvious 5

Such a great album. From the top to the bottom, my cup overfloweth. 5.0

I mean......... I obviously know and already love this. Lets just see if I could possibly find more to love about it :D

I rolled my eyes when I saw this come up. I prepared my 3 stars. Then I listened to the album again for the hundredth time. It's the most music shaped music. It's the most album shaped album. It has charisma, and a desire to get you in the feels if you're not careful. How can such a familiar and cliche album deliver a gut punch? On 'Go Your Own Way' no less? Go on and take your 5 stars and get out of here, you monster.

A true timeless classic. I've heard every song on this before and yet listening to the whole album through is still an amazing experience.

Perfect album. 6/5.

Wonderful. My dad used to put this album on and we would play card games on the living room carpet with my brothers, so this brings back good memories. It is also just a freaking phenomenal album with every song being superb. I don't know what else to say other than that this album is probably as close as anything can get to perfect. 5/5

One of the all time best.

best

second hand news: great chorus with production, Catchy. 8/10 Dreams:the biggest song on the album I'm pretty sure and for a good reason. Catchy asf with good vocals 10/10 no explanation never going back again: wierd beat at the beginning but the solo part is good. decent not to write home about tho. 6/10 don't stop: it's good not much too say really 5/10 go your own way: it's ight enjoyable 7/10 songbird:great message with exceptional production with the drums 8/10 The Chain: the only song that I have heard on prior to listening to this album. And it's still incredible with a great chorus and drum set. 10/10 easily you make loving fun: bass is nice. nice chorus yet again its a fun track 8/10 I don't want to know: The lyrics in this track are really good with a deep message explaining a love story that has many levels if you see the lyrics correctly. and the end of the track hits really well to me as a nice finisher. 10/10 oh daddy:I like the lyrics too on this one and a really nice voice great track that I can come back too 9/10 gold dust women:again the women on these tracks has a great singing voice and can tell a great story in a short time and feels like this song wrapped up this record in a great way leaving me with a good story about love. CONCLUSION:this is a fantastic album with amazing lyrics, fantastic music production, and chilling vocals. overall I give this album a 9/10 amazing...

The blood is on the Tracks. This is the perfect album tapping right into the vein of events for the band. Real time voyeurism on relationships. True unfiltered.

Dreams, the 2nd track, is one of those classic faves that I never knew who it was by. I remember when it went viral in the pandemic because a guy was on a skateboard drinking cranapple juice, listening to that song. Good to know whose song it is now. Never Going Back Again is classic too. As is Don’t Stop. I remember that song being played so much it was often on loop in my brain without my permission. I was two years old when this album was released. Again, never knew who sang it. The classics continue with Go Your Own Way, Silver Springs, and The Chain. This is a really great album. So many classic hits!

I hated Rumours for a long time - based solely on the fact that my parents loved it. Turns out it’s one of the few they were right about. Do yourself and favor and listen to the deluxe version and end the B side with Silver Spring.

Iconic

awesome album!

A nice mixture of songs, none feel out of place or repetitive

Holy shit.

Wow, who knew there were so many absolute classics on this classic album! (please note lots and lots of sarcasm in that statement) Rumors is truly a classic for a reason, yet something that I wouldn't normally go for in day to day listening. The majority of the album has been ubiquitous in pop culture and the wider media from everything form TV, movies and even other music since it was released into the world. This really is a masterpiece of an album. Best: Dreams Worst: Oh Daddy

Live Fleetwood Mac and I love this album sm. The Chainnnnnn❤️

MY FAVORITE FLEETWOOD MAC ALBUM J'AIME ESPECIALLY THE CHAIN

Finally some good fucking food ... already know this is a 5 from me

Legendary pop rock

Always a classic!

V gooood

A really good album that I've listened to before. Fleetwood Mac are one of those bands where they don't seem to have a song I don't like. Nice to revisit the album. Highlights of the album were Go Your Own Way and the Chain.

classic, could listen forever

Ja, die hoes kom je overal tegen. Wat zijn ze daar nou aan het doen met die gekke schoentjes en dat voetenbankje? Hoe dan ook, dit schijnt een echtscheidingsplaat te zijn. De hele band had ruzie met elkaar en ook weer niet, of zoiets. Hoe dan ook, ik hou me nooit zo bezig met de achtergronden. Is het goede muziek, heeft het een fris en origineel geluid, heeft het impact gehad, kun je dit rustig tig keer draaien? Zo ja, dan is het een klassieker.

Albums waarvan alle nummers goed zijn, zijn een uitzondering. Dit is zo'n uitzondering. Geweldige composities, steengoede muzikanten, wonderschone nummers. En dan is er zelfs nog een nummer als Silver Springs gesneuveld, omdat er geen plek meer op het vinyl was. En toch kon Fleetwood Mac me vroeger niet zo bekoren. Ik gooide ze onwillekeurig op de hoop van slechte jaren 80 bands, waarschijnlijk omdat "Little Lies" me het meest vers in het geheugen lag. En als je destijds in het hokje 'jaren 80' zat, dan was je gedoemd om daar nooit meer uit te komen. Tegenwoordig weet ik wel beter en kan ik jaren 80 muziek juist steeds meer en meer waarderen. Maar Rumours komt helemaal niet uit de jaren 80, dus was mijn vooroordeel eigenlijk sowieso onterecht. De inkeer voor mij was de documentaire serie Classic Albums, uitgezonden op de VPRO. Alle muzikanten werkten mee en geven een geniaal album alle achtergrond mee die je nodig hebt om het nog genialer te vinden. Toen pas kon ik het echt waarderen. De ruzies, de tijdsgeest, de teksten, de muzikaliteit. Alles viel op zijn plaats en nu zou ik dit album zonder twijfelen opzetten. En de docu van dit album (vast wel ergens op te snorren op het internet) is misschien wel een van de beste muziekdocumentaires ooit gemaakt. Een must see! Maar dat kan natuurlijk eigenlijk alleen maar als de muziek ook steengoed is. En dat is het. Steengoed. Zoals iemand ooit zei: 10 sterren!

Superb!

i LOVE this album like sm im obsessed with fleetwood mac especially with my pookie stevie nicks so i got really happy that it was the first album i got well lets start second hand news: love this one but i never really pay attention to the lyrics because is not my first language so is really hard but today i did so i got surprised at the "i know theres nothing to say someone has taken my place" thx to all the drama that was going on with the band by the time. the first paragraphs of the song seems like the writer is upset that they are done with this other person and theres nothing they can do and that person wont do the things they've used to do. i dont what lay on the tall grass means though lol. the next couple verses are pretty rough omg how i never realized that. the writer says they wont miss this other person because they've been down and tossed around enough so they are kind of done with it. not fully sure what "im just second hand news" means but i interpreted that they're like used??? like not new and thats why they know they're traded by someone else and doesn't mean anything to this other person anymore. really god song i love the voice and instrumentals perfectt dreams: oh BIG classic lets see this gem. im so fucking feral for stevie nicks voice like omg is so good to listen to??? well the firsts verses are really rough too like she says "but listen careful to the sound of your loneneliss" ok beautiful??? in the beginning i kinda feel it was a response to second hand news but now idk i terrible interpretating songs really. this song really is another mad song about the actions of someone else like the line about the thunder and rain and the players only love you when theyre playing. i dont think ive understood the verses about the dreams sorry im stupid lol. im using genius to help me understand this one with all the fleetwood mac lore. after reading all the explenations and actually payinbg attention to the lyrics made me like it even more. stevie is saying how lindsay lost her and how regretful he should feel and also that she thinks he only loved her on her stage persona???? like fucking feral loved it gimme more never going back again: here hes saying that she let he in like fully on her mind multiple times but he never wants to come back there again. this is the shorter song in lyrics but i love the guitar instrumentals and etc. according to genius, the song is about the writer being in a relationship with another woman but reminicing about the similarities with his previsouly relationship with our queen stevie nicks don't stop: I LOVE THIS ONE as i started i started wondering why was the first song that wanst fully gut wretching i hate my ex and i was like im sure this one was written by christine and GUESS WHAT everyone on the band was killing each other but our queen christine was writing songs about living the life and leaving the past behind queen slay lysm. I THINK THESE LINES ARE SO FUNNY "if your life was bad to you just think what tomorrow will do"??? please my girl is so unserious. go your own way: im OBSESSED with this one thanks to my daisy jones and the six obsession like i love it so much. the instrumental on this song is like so fucking insane i love it so much like everything sounds so fucking good. and the lyrics i see that is buckingham saying some similiar thinks that stevie said about him like how he felt his feeling werent appreciated by her and et cetera love it so fucking good songbird: OUYR BEAUTIFUL CHRISTINE GIVING US PRETTY LOVE SONGS. like this one is so sweet that i even teared up a bit:((( those verses really got me "and i wish you all the love in the world but most of all i wish it for myself" our queen of self love. the chain: THIS IS THE BALACOBACO (sorry i had to use a portuguese expression bc i coulnt help it) also another one that i love thanks to daisy jones and the six because is sooo them. this one is so RAW and TOXIC GIMME MORE. im crazy with the instrumental like is SO good everything is perfect i love it really im crazy for this one so daisybilly coded you make loving fun: here comes our mother christine mcvie with her love songs like this one is so cute and sweet but shes so crazy of making her ex husband work on the music she wrote to another man like love her for it get his ass. i dont want to know: this one is actually so sad??? like the instrumental is all fun and games but then shes saying that she doesnt want to be on the middle of him finding happiness so she wants him to find love and move on because she does not want him to me miserable like fuck you stevie nicks thats so saaaad. but i wish silver springs was on its space like i would fully traded it oh daddy: i find the name of this one so funny lol daddy issues really hitting ya. im not really sure if this one is really about a parent like genius help meeee. ok well im dumb and is not about a literal parent but now i can see is about a toxic relationship and she feels like hes better and superior than her and she cant get out of this situation like its really sad which is crazy because christine wrote this one gold dust woman: this one is so raw and insane and crazy i love the instruemental and stevies great and amazing voice. the screams or whatever that was in the end are so insanely good. omg i didnt know this one was about drug addiction. i think this one is actually a really sad song and a sad way to finish the album because stevie is talking about herself and saying that she should be left alone because theres no point on trying to fix her. this one is SO FUCKING DAISY JONES i love this album, i really do, is really important for me and it was really nice to be the first one i got because even though i know how to sing every single on of them i never really payed much attention to the meaning of the lyrics so this made me go and search and learn and understand. i loveee really do i think is one of the best albums ever made in the world

Obligatory 5 star. Very enjoyable

This is the first album on this list that I feel deserves a 5 out of 5 rating. This album is undoubtedly a classic that everybody should listen too at least once but you're going to want to listen to it over and over again. Every song on this album hits, there are no misses but for me "Go Your Own Way" and "Gold Dust Woman" stand out above the crowd here. Honestly you could pick any song on this album as your favorite Fleetwood Mac song and I couldn't fault you for it.

Really nice songs, fav'd 2 of them

An all time classic. I bought this album for $1 at a swap meet in the late 80's. I knew half the songs the first time I heard it.

Well, it's Rumours. The gold standard of perfect pop albums. Nothing else need be said.

Ja simpel, lekker om op te skaten lekker om savonds aan te hebben, lekker als je aan 't schilderen bent. Gewoon goed

Don't stop altijd al een favoriet geweest

An album written for and by people cheating on each other.

One of the greatest albums ever made and nothing more needs to be said.

no on tämä kuultu aikasemminkin. albumi täynnä mahtavia poppibiisejä. muutama kunnon bängeri, mahtavat akustiikat, immersiivinen produktio.. joo, annan albumille 5, mutta miksi pitää olla niin pretentious arvostelut.... lapsesta asti jankattu päähän rumours rumours rumours albumeitten albumi.... sentään on parempi kun biitlesin wackey road... mutta ei kyllä kosketakkaan meikän suosikkituotoksia. tämä on lempialbumi niille joille ei ole kehittynyt minkäänlaista persoonallista musiikkimakua. ja noni nyt meikältä niin ilkeää turhaa kommenttia hohhoijjaa sopisi oneliner-arvosteluksi varmaan ihmiset tykkäisi huohhakkaa... huumehörhöilijöitä btw, respektiä vihaajille the chain

This would be a greatest hits for most bands.

The best

Blow of fresh air

Truly outstanding in my mind. Classic track follows classic track. The blend of blues, folk and rock with popular overtones - often within the same track - make for an unforgettable album.

An absolute all-timer. What a freakin album.

Stone cold classic! Near perfect album. The musicianship, songcrafting and singing have never been this good. And all mixed crispy clear. I would have loved to see them live one day! 9,5 out of 10

Ugh schwer, aber ich schätze irgendwann muss auch ich mal eine 5 vergeben.

Lyrically sarcastic, jealous, self-centered, bitter, musically satisfying and unique. This album has some era defining tracks, an excellent narrative of the break down of a relationship played out in a shared band, I've had it in my head for weeks. Love it.

Håller så fruktansvärt bra. Något som slår mig är hur sömnlöst det funkar med 3 leadsångare. Uppfriskande men naturligt.

Best Fleetwood album! Just so feelgood. I often put this on when I need to get in a good mood. Not a single bad song. Really love the songs Dreams and The Chain.

I've heard this one before lol -10/10

5/5

Damn that's a good album. Start to finish. Iconic songs that have stood the test of time, and have made the full round from being cool to being "dad rock" uncool to being simply timeless.

fav album. fleetwood mac makes music for witches

One of my favorite albums ever. Had to break out the vinyl to show my respect. Very hard to choose my favorite tracks because they’re all great, but I f I had to choose it would probably be You Make Loving Fun or Gold Dust Woman

Thank the Good Lord Stevie Nicks is such a dirty whore.

4.5/5

O MELHOR DO MUNDO FODASE

Iconic, amazing, almost perfect

Just great

this album is perfect, no notes

A masterpiece, but I'm a little worn out on it. I think every schmuck had this album in their library at some point.

dont even need to listen. its 5 stars

Fleetwood Mac made a masterpiece. Perfect vibe for the weekend.

All classics no skips. 5/5

Just a classic, was waiting for this to pop up. You’re Wrong About has a great episode on this album and the lore behind it!

everyone already knows this album is the shit. doesn't hurt that it has some of their most successful songs on it too

I love this album because of all the drama around it and also so many of the songs are so nostalgic! I don't think I've listened to it front to back in quite a while, so it was nice to revisit. I think the chain is my favorite track

Amazing album, indisputably a top 20 all time. 5/5 y’all know what it isssss

Likely one of my favourite albums of all time. A masterpiece.

I don't need this website to tell me to listen to this album. I already love it!

of course a legendary album

In 1 woord: Fantastisch!

I know this album well. It is solid gold

5.23.25 love this album i know it's, as john mulaney put it, "an album written by and for people cheating on each other" but it sure is a damn fun album

Upbeat, good harmonies, good mixing/balance of each instrument. Subtle organ is really nice and good bass. I was thinking that maybe Dreams would feel overhyped, but it just is so nice to listen to. I did not expect to hear really good fingerpicking guitar (Never Going Back Again) but it is awesome. Never Going Back Again followed by Don't Stop feels a little odd - like almost unbelievable that they are on the same album, especially back to back. Go Your Own Way has some of the best backing music and melodies that I've heard. It's just so interesting to listen to the pieces underneath the voices (the voices are really great too though). The bassline is just sick and backing guitar too. It feels like a band, and feels like they all are contributing and doing something interesting (and having fun). Some of the guitar solos are kinda whatever, but the one on The Chain stands out. I feel like the bass guitar really helps this album stand out. It's really clear - definitely the sound I enjoy from a bass guitar. Album keeps it up through the end - the last song Gold Dust Woman has some really nice guitar on it, and is a great song too (although I could do with less yelling/moaning at the end lmao). I feel a little odd loving the harmonies here when I just yesterday listened to Fleet Foxes - Fleet Foxes, but I think there's more instrumentation in Fleetwood Mac compared to the Fleet Foxes album.

There is little that I can add on this album that hadn't already been said. One of thee singular best collection of music ever recorded. The amount of hits on this record and great songs around the singles is mind blowing. 5 out of 5, would never be anything else. My fave is go your own way quickly followed by songbird.

5/5. Just a great album all around, and I’m not even the biggest Fleetwood Mac fan out there. I understand the gravity of this record and am also enjoying a bit of the comeback that it is experiencing!

Classic for a reason

An album I loved when it released but not so much anymore. Either my music tastes have changed or it hasn’t aged well. Still some great songs and instrumentation though.

Chill.

Absolute classic album. Some massive hits and some solid deep cuts. Great record, always happy to hear these tunes

Muy guapo, tiene temazos míticos como Dreams o The Chain

this is an album I have already really liked, especially dreams and the chain. vibes are light and fun fresh and funky. each song has a different and unique vibe. big fan of Stevie Nicks Very easy listening, an album I think almost everyone likes at least a little, for good reason. The voices complement each other very well, I like when they harmonize. starts off very fun and enjoyable, but the last couple of songs are a little lame. none of the songs stand out to me as particularly amazing but they are all solidly enjoyable!

One of the most iconic albums of all time. The Chain, don't stop, go your own way and dreams are so memorable and iconic, 5/5. There are some songs that don't hit the mark for me, but I wouldn't consider any songs on this album bad by any means. Second Hand News has the "scatting" section that probably shouldn't have made it in the final cut though, but other than that I love this album. I really appreciate the chill vibes, warm and comforting vocals all in one great package deal. A note to the mixing and mastering of this album, I can't find a single thing I would change in this entire album. Every instrument has its groove and nothing overpowers anything else. Listening with good headphones is required to get the spacial aspect of each instrument. Especially the vocals in dreams when the duplicated tracks expand the width of the soundscape coming at me. All around a great album!

An onslaught of greatest hits until you hit the second to last song, “Oh Daddy,” which is also awesome. This is a great record (and yes, I spun the vinyl for this listen).

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.

Summary: An incredibly solid album filled with lush harmonies, tasteful arrangements, and powerful lyrics. This is such a darn strong tracklist. You can't really go wrong. The Chain and Go Your Own Way. in particular, are in a league of their own. Fleetwood Mac masters this element of humanity that really allows you to relate to the lyrics and the sound. Second Hand News: Soft, acoustic, energetic. Just a great, hopeful, cheerful mood. A song about wanting freedom, or regretting freedom? Title drop is catchy and climactic. Dreams: Unusual and pretty vocal. The mixing is very radio-friendly - unfortunately, at the expense of the rhythm section (aggressively simplistic at times). Lush yet simple harmonies (three-part?) during chorus. I really like the atmosphere of this album so far - solemn yet hopeful. Never Going Back Again: Folky. Is that only one acoustic guitar? It's really impressive playing, if so. The vocal quality is so on-point in this album - not overbearing, and giving the instrumental time to shine. Fantastic. Don't Stop: Lyrically, the coda (or counterpart) to the Beatles' Yesterday. Lacking some harmony in the vocals - I mean, come on, the "Don't Stop" in the chorus is pretty much begging for it! Solid swing beat and great instrumental layering underneath. Shiny organ sounds especially prominent towards the end. Neat. Go Your Own Way: Drumming is superb here. Chorus is goosebump-inducing... so damn good. Lyrically, a little depressing, but from the song's tune it seems like they're at least breaking up on good terms. Gosh, this track is so uplifting. Tasteful solo with tasteful separate of channels (acoustic vs electric guitars especially). Second solo - first extended solo in the album? Carried out beautifully. I love this track. Songbird: I zoned out. This is a gorgeous track. Simple, yet so darn effective. Not a huge fan of the acoustic guitar fade-ins, although it makes the piano sound that much better by itself. The Chain: Bluesier, more ominous intro. Arrangement is the strongest it's been so far. Overlap/repetition of lyrics in the chorus is catchy. Weird drum sound at 1:30. This is definitely the most varied and unpredictable track so far. Organ, guitars flowing and melting together, tambourine... ear candy. Brilliant use of build-ups and texture change throughout. Unexpected outro. You Make Loving Fun: Even bluesier. I like the dirty guitar, although the transition to a more airy, celestial sound is a bit sudden. The second time this "chorus" shows up, I'm warming up to it, and it's more effective. Outro is very pretty and a fitting way to wrap up the song. I Don't Want To Know: The signature Mac harmonising shows up right at the beginning, and I'm here for it. The song gets a little "monotextural", but it's such a good-sounding texture that I can't really complain. I could see this song closing the album, but of course we've got two more tracks. Oh Daddy: Good singing and atmosphere. Possibly the most "serious"-sounding track on the album, but I can't take the track seriously daddy. Backing vocals lift moments of this song (esp. ~2:50 and ~3:05 - the subtle two-part monosyllable harmony. Oh, Daddy!). Gold Dust Woman: You can tell there's going to be a build-up. When the chorus hits, it hits hard. The backing doesn't change much, but the harmonies are (as usual) gorgeous. Biting lyrics. The outro is lengthy and man, what a way to close an album.

5/5

One of my favourite albums, ever.

Before listening, already held as one of my favorite albums of all time. After listening, my opinion was unchanged.

Every track is a gem!

1 of 1001. Rumors! One of my favorite albums and one that we already have on vinyl at home! What a way to start my journey!

One of the best albums ever, guitar riffs on another level, Dreams and The Chain are two of the most iconic songs ever. The only thing better than the music is the story of how it came about.

The benchmark for all five star ratings

The music speaks for itself

One of my favorite albums of all time, my wife was the one to introduce it to me. I love how each band member contributes their own song, and it’s so easy to listen to and enjoy. This album is fantastic!!

Love this album, one of the best of all time

Second Hand News: Very bouncy track to start off with, one I didn't know of previously - it's good. Dreams: I know this one, a more chilled out song from one side of a breakup, also good. Never Going Back Again: Lil' guitar pickin track about moving on - rebounding haha Don't Stop: One I know well, pulsing beat about looking forward - it's a great driving song for me. Go Your Own Way: Also know this one well, very bitter song this one - it's like the drums are smacking the resentment into you by the end. Songbird: A piano ballad love-song - very sweet in the midst of such an emotionally tumultuous album. The Chain: Know this one well too, I'm a really big fan of it - the emotional build-up hits a great spot with the instrumental break and then the lyrical refrains. You Make Loving Fun: Very funky song about that feeling of new love after pain - another different emotion as opposed to the tension in the other songs. I Don't Want to Know: This song has got a sing-along boppy quality to it, feels different to the other songs as well. Oh Daddy: Very moody, lyrics feel very stifling, trapped in something you know is bad for you but can't leave. Gold Dust Woman: Another moody note, the original closer track one that definitely builds up the the emotional end. Silver Springs: It's not in the original album, but I had to include it - what an emotional gut punch this song is, that last chorus repeat is a lot.

Rumours? No, it’s all true.

Classic great memories

15/10/23

Classic after classic. At one point was in my personal top 10 all-time albums.

11/5

One of the most celebrated and popular albums of all time, and for good reason. It's almost unfathomable how many all time classics are on here. So relistenable without ever being boring. A masterwork. 5/5

A treasure

Nearly perfect album.

This is a flawless album. Perfection A to Z.

Sjajno

One of the best albums ever made. Not a bad song on here.

This album is just rock solid. Wonderful guitar riffs, great vocals, great concept. 5/5

Bangers

Quite possibly the best collection of music ever put to tape.

Already one of my favorites. Pretty much every song is great.

No two songs are alike and every single one is a damn classic. I can’t imagine not giving this a perfect rating. The recording quality is maybe the best I’ve ever heard. I can imagine how great it was to listen to this at house parties when it came out. My dad was a cop then and told me that almost every noise complaint was Rumours related.

The range, production, chemistry, instrumentation, arrangements, vocals, lyrics are all amazing and I have no complaints. They really got everything right on this one. Nothing more to say. 5/5

Such a good album. I know a lot of people think it's overrated but I disagree. Sets a good vibe for the entire duration of the album. Every song holds up well. Definitely 5 stars!

A lot can be said of this album. The history the tension the music. It’s all what makes this a perfect album. Not many artists can do what fleeteood Mac did on rumours. This is perfection. 10/10

One of the best albums of all time. Infinitely re-listenable. Every song is a diamond.

I have heard some of these songs before but never associated them with the name Fleetwood Mac. I enjoyed this album a lot though!

One of the great albums. Timeless classic.

Visiškai 5/5, vienas iš mylimiausių albumų. Tas nesutarimas albume visų narių labai jaučiasi, ir man tas be galo patinka, iš pykčio sukūrė gerą muziką.

friday soother

I was a big Peter Green fan & when he left Mac, I lost interest. Until I heard (& probably saw)Rhiannon, bought that album in 1975, thereby also buying into the west coast sound that they mastered. That was a good album. This is a great album - it only lets up when you get to the last 3 trax. Up until then it ‘s one banger after another. The 3-vocalist thing is crucial to it’s success, as well as the blend of acoustic & electric, & a rhythm section that had been together for over a decade. Faves? Songbird, Never Going Back Again & Dreams - one from each of the 3 songwriters at the peak of their powers. I just played it through a couple of times & it’s still such a pleasure to hear. I also played the eponymous album, which hasn’t worn nearly as well. As well I dug out Legacy - the tribute to Rumours produced by Fleetwood - average at best. And also a Mac covers album called Tumours (2009) by Sydney band Ripping Dylans - tragic. The original is one of the best.

Fleetwood Mac are my favourite radio band. If one of their songs comes on the radio, I will always turn it up and sing along. Love it. But I never choose to put their records on the turntable (except the Tusk 7”). But this, _this_, is a really great album. The balance of the three songwriters means they are each bringing their A-game, and their approaches complement each other. Buckingham is cynical, Nicks mystical, and McVie optimistic. But then, their voices have their own character, but they sing together so well. It really helps this record to have a significant female viewpoint. If Buckingham had written all the songs, you have to think that his cynicism, almost bordering on bitterness, and tendency to take the centre stage on his own material would have ended up with something more like the Eagles (hock, spit). However, Buckingham's production and guitar is nearly always in service of the song (with significantly less flash than many of his contemporaries, although he certainly has the chops to bring it when required), and McVie's keyboards are sublime. Of course, having one of the greatest rhythm sections in rock doesn't hurt, either. It gets so much radio play, do you really need to play the album? Well, I find not, but I really enjoyed playing this through a few times today. There are some real classic tunes on here, among the best songs of west coast 70s rock; Dreams, Go Your Own Way, The Chain, Songbird, You Make Loving Fun, Gold Dust Woman (although I confess, I actually think Courtney love did this better in her cover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ngmhjiR3QOo). This is one of those records where it is easily understood why this is one the highest selling albums of all time. I think the reputation of this record has improved in the past twenty years. It is much more embraced as a classic, rather than the slightly unhip and daggy reputation it had in the early 90s. There's a lot to love about the record; great singing and playing, great songs, it sounds like a million dollars (as it should, considering the recording budget), and the story of all the drama that went with its recording, which adds to the legend of the album. If this isn't a five star album, it's hard to think what would be.

Absolute classic. Not only does it have some of the greatest singles ever, the album flows with great songs and charisma. Few other bands are able to have multiple lead singers work so well.

Always a great listen!

Some really overplayed songs, but a masterpiece I suppose.

I don't think there's anything very useful to say about this. One of the greatest albums of all time that has been dissected by so those more able to than me. I know everything about this album from the numerous documentaries and articles and I also know every song inside out. An extraordinary set of songs, three songwriters at creative peaks at the same time, a sound of a band willing to work in a studio to find the right arrangement and lyrics of love longing and loss. There's a reason that this has sold so many, appears in the best of lists and appeals to people who like all kinds of genres. The best albums are the best albums. This is one of them.

Love this album

I wouldn't be a massive Fleetwood Mac fan, but In my wee humble opinion, Rumours is probably the best album ever produced by Fleetwood Mac. Considering it was released in 1977, there are so many of the tracks on this album that are still played on commercial radio today, such was the calibre of the song writing. I have this album on my own personal library, and would often choose to play many of the tracks regularly. In many ways, this was their peak, as their personal and professional lives started to unravel, but damn this is still a great album.

One of my favorites

I've always been a little lukewarm on Fleetwood Mac, but now that I've really listened to Rumors and read the lyrics, I am a fan. Deep lyrics, fantastic vocal harmonies, and lots of diversity of sound, I really love this album!

Outstanding record

I’ve clearly been sleeping on Rumours! Not a bad song from front to back. Lowest point is “Oh Daddy” but how can you be upset when it’s followed by an amazing song in “Gold Dust Woman”? Not quite a desert island disc, but damn near. 9.5/10

What else can be said, incredible

Pretty stellar, I did not give them the credit they deserved in the past.

It's rumours lmao

It's Rumours... by Fleetwood Mac... Of COURSE it's a five.

1. Second Hand News - banger 2. Dreams - banger 3. Never Going Back Again - banger 4. Don't Stop - banger 5. Go Your Own Way - banger 6. Songbird - banger 7. The Chain - banger 8. You Make Loving Fun - banger 9. I Don't Want to Know - banger 10. Oh Daddy - banger 11. Gold Dust Woman - banger

So many great songs. Super tight album. Love the harmonies. I really like his drumming and sounds.

Iconic album with so many great songs.

So many boos on this. I really can’t believe they were just doing so many drugs and breaking up with each other and then made this record. Love this.

Fantastic album

Absolute classic album. So many great songs.

Such a great pop-rock album. Lindsey Buckingham's guitarwork is astounding and definitely one of the things that make this album so good. He really shines on songs like Second Hand News, an underrated track that is a great album opener where both the guitar and bass drive the song forward, Dreams, where the guitar swells up and down during the song, which is such a perfect pop song, and my favorite of his guitar-playing is probably on Never Going Back Again, such a cool sound and insane playing from Buckingham. The songwriting is great throughout the entire album and you can really feel the tension between both of the couples in the band that had broken up during the making of this album. This is probably what led to the heartfelt sound of this album and something like this will probably never be made ever. Please if you somehow haven't heard this album before, please do. Standout Tracks: Second Hand News, Dreams, Never Going Back Again, Don't Stop, Go Your Own Way, The Chain

"I Don't Want to Know" is a gem. What an incredible exploration of relationships falling apart, especially when you consider Dreams and Go Your Own Way answers to each other.

Amazing album. Couldn't give it any less the 5 stars

Second time today I'm rating this...the last review didn't take. An absolutely sublime album. A band where all members were firing on all cylinders musically and creatively...not so much romantically. An amazing listen.

I mean…

Lots of very solid songs and variety

If I were to answer "What album is all hits, no placeholders" this would be it.

Absolute classic album

One of my favorites!

Good for a reason

Perhaps the best album ever conceived. Front to back bangers. Every member of FM shows us what they can do at their very best. Which is spectacular when you consider the very REAL personal demons face in its creation. A perfect album.

There it is. In contention for GOAT album. Banger after banger. Variety of lead vocalists, catchy hooks, beautifully constructed tracks. Nearly flawless, wish it were longer than 40 min.

Genialt album - kun med hits

The ratings are on point, this album is class. Parents loved it so very nostalgic but it's great in its own right, it has such a large section of their best songs, must make up most of the greatest hits album. Can't decide if Fleetwood Mac have a sound that noone else seems to be able to copy or that there are loads of similar bands but FM just have way better songs.

I believe that the internal difficulties Fleetwood Mac were having throughout the recording of this album made it what it is. Musicianship without compromise - but what do I know? The album starts off with the weakest track, Second Hand News isn't anything to write home about. Then there are 7 consecutive absolute bangers. Dreams: a jazzy classic, beautifully sung and great lyrics. Pensive, but optimistic, and I love the instrumentation. Never Going Back Again: minimalistic, but then why overcomplicate the wonderful melody Lindsay Buckingham created. Simple. Don't Stop: Great fun. Bit mired now from use in political campaigns, however I enjoy the back and forth with the singing. Go Your Own Way: Can't say much more than what others already have. Anthemic. Songbird: A bit of a reflective pause before the rest of the album - beautiful. The Chain: Another club classic. Reading about how the track was made is pretty fascinating. The track hits from the very start - the guitar over the simple beat highlights the lyrics but also has a sense of urgency, and the quick cymbal stop following the chorus is overlooked. Great fun. You Make Loving Fun: I really like Christine McVie's voice - here it is just enough to make the simple track do what it needs to do. Apparently Christine told her husband the song was about a dog, and not about an affair she was having. Sounds like a right laugh to have been in the band. The album finishes with a couple of nice songs that would themselves stand out on any other album, but they are a bit also-ran here. I like I Don't Want To Know - love the harmonies between Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham. Oh Daddy is a bit boring, however Gold Dust Woman has entered my listening rotation; it sounds incredibly spooky and I greatly enjoy the structure. What an album!

This was an easy 5 stars because there are some absolute classics on here. A tight 40 minute album that doesn't fuck about (unlike the members of the band). The fact that this was made under all that relationship turmoil is crazy, how do you even continue to collaborate with people after all that mess. Highlights: Dreams Don't Stop Go Your Own Way The Chain Gold Dust Woman
