Summary: dvd-audio version
Comment: this is one of my best sounding dvd-a's. the surround is also very cool.
the addition of silver springs was great and should have been on the original LP.
only 1 gripe
1. never going back again should have been the original way not this drum marching sound with weak guitar bits they added.

Summary: Not a weak song in the house
Comment: Fleetwood Mac's "Rumours" stands on its own strength. That strength is a continuation of strong tracks from start to finish. There's not a weak song in the house. Reminiscent of "Sgt. Pepper", Rumours captivates the listener from start to finish and is a pleasurable music experience.

Summary: Rare Recording Rematered by Mick Fleetwood
Comment: One of their best albums remastered by Mick Fleetwood...I heard things on this that I had never heard before and it sounded sweeter on my Home Theater/Multi Channel (5.1 Klipsch Heritage) "stereo."...No Movie or Video on this one just nice music perfectly recorded.

Summary: not the best pop rock, and not the best the band has to offer
Comment: I used to think this was the greatest rock/pop album ever made. However, as the years go by, and we learn about more musicians and bands out there, what we once considered some of the best music we've ever heard gradually falls by the wayside as our minds begin to realize this isn't the ONLY good pop rock worth listening to. Rumours is a perfect example.
While not the best Fleetwood Mac album (I prefer the Peter Green period more because of his brilliant guitar playing) nobody can deny the songwriting is quite strong and melodic, and most of the songs will immediately sound familiar to those of you (fortunate) enough to not tune in to the radio every often. For those of you who DO listen to the radio all the time, you're probably sick of most of these songs, and rightfully so.
So yeah, it's a good enough album filled with plenty of good, recognizable songs. As for some other (better) pop bands of the 70's, check out bands like 10cc, Big Star, Be Bop Deluxe, Electric Light Orchestra, and Badfinger. These artists are very talented and it's hard to believe they aren't more well-known among classic rock fans. You can change that though, by giving them a chance.

Summary: timeless
Comment: though not currently trendy, fleetwood mac was one of the great pop-rock bands of all time in its buckingham-nicks version. all their albums are worthwhile, but this is my favorite. song after song the emotional intensity, tight playing and infectious melodies never let up. it didn't hurt that the romantic relationships between several band member were in limbo -- if anything it added to the edge behind the lyrics. matching c. mckvie, buckingham and nicks songwriting prowess with the peerless pop rhythm section of mcvie and fleetwood, fleetwood mac was unstoppable in its heyday.

Editorial Reviews:
|
With the pop sense of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks now leading the band, Fleetwood Mac moved completely away from blues and created this homage to love, Southern California-style. Each songwriter makes his or her presence known: Nicks for her dreamy, mystical reveries ("Dreams," "Gold Dust Woman:); Christine McVie for her ultra-catchy slogans ("Don't Stop"); and Buckingham for his deceptively simple pop songs ("Second Hand News," "Go Your Own Way"). "The Chain," written collectively, is the Mac at their most dramatic. But it's the ensemble playing, the elastic rhythms, and lush harmonies that transform the material into classic FM fare. --Rob O'Connor
