Rumours
Fleetwood Mac
I went into this one thinking I'd give it a 3 stars at most. Of course I've heard most of these songs so many times on the radio and I never really thought much of FM in general based on the many times I've heard the songs. But when I really gave the album a listen I found that I could not dismiss it as easily as I expected to. There is good shit on this album which should not be surprising given its status as a "classic rock album". I couldn't in good conscience give this album less than 4 stars after really listening to it. The diversity of the tracks, the different voices (actual and auteur) throughout the album, the musicianship, all made more vibrant given the crazy and dysfunctional personal relationship amongst the band members all make this a great album. Even if I've heard most of the songs hundreds of times already.

I know that I'd like this album better if I gave it a few more listens but many of the songs sounded very similar to me. I maybe should not have listened to the remastered version which included multiple versions of the same track.

Sometimes you are just not in the mood for certain types of music. I'm afraid this was the case for me when I listened to this one. Although I appreciate the artistry of this album, it was too morose for me to really enjoy it and I found myself looking forward to it ending. Given that feeling I can't give this one a good rating. The vagaries of rating by committee.

First time I listened to this one. There was nothing so bad about it per se but it just didn't make me excited or interested. It was straight-forward. Yes her voice is powerful but I guess the melodies weren't there for me.

I was looking forward to listening to this but after doing so, like many other reviewers, I found the album to be quite pedestrian. I do understand how important this album is historically and for how it moved the hiphop genre past its disco inception. But still. Given what hip hop has become, the simplistic rapping, lyrics and beats just seem so hum drum to my modern ears. It kinda reminds me of pictures of people in the 50s gazing with wonder at the sight of a plane flying overhead. I totally get why they found it so impressive at the time, but of course, we are now so used to see planes overhead that we don't even notice them.
I was considering four stars here given the importance of this album, but I think 4/5 stars should be reserved for music that stands the test of time - most of this album does not do so imo.
