By: Tim HerouxWrite something about yourself. No need to be fancy, just an overview. Rumours is the 11th studio album by Fleetwood Mac, released in 1977, and is considered by many to be their best. Rumours was one of many Fleetwood Mac albums that sparked turmoil between bandmates during its development. Due to creative differences, there is only one song on the entire album which gives credit to every member of the band. Ironically enough, this song is The Chain, which is about keeping the band together. Much of the album is composed of songs about rocky relationships. Go Your Own Way is a prime example as it is about a breakup between bandmates, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks.
The album really shows how inner turmoil can bring out the best of Fleetwood Mac. Each song on the album feels unique because of this. Some of my favorite tracks on this LP include Dreams, Gold Dust Woman, and The Chain. This album is an absolute classic and I’m going to award Rumours a ten out of ten.
