Music Review: Rumours
Rating: 3 Stars
A pop masterpiece in one respect but a completely over indulgent overload of crap in another. Much like the bubble-gum it is the album is good for a while but looses flavor fast and then becomes dull and annoying to have just taking up space in your mouth or on your record shelf.
There is a reason why with pop albums of the 1970's people only remember the hit singles off albums like this. Now obviously the hit singles are the majority of the album making up 6 of the 11 tracks but what isn't a hit single is virtually awful. 'Second Hand News' was nothing more than a nice acoustic melody ruined by Buckingham's annoying lyrics and vocals. 'Never Going Back Again' suffers equally. 'Songbird' shoots for a Carpenter's thing but lands angerly around Captain and Tenniel territory. Yikes! 'I Don't Want To Know' suffers from the enough with this whole "I'm on coke and the person I'm dating in the band is cheating on me" more than any of the other tracks on the album which by this point has worn frail. 'Oh Daddy' is trite and the fact that it was let to go on the album should have led to someone at the record company loosing their job.
The hit singles, which is whats left on the album are nice and feature decent musicianship from Lindsay Buckingham who is an admittedly underrated guitarist but nothing more. Really the only tracks with substance are those from that coked out gypsy that calls herself Stevie Nicks. 'Dreams' is bitter-sweet and the only 'true' classic on the album as far as I'm concerned. 'Gold Dust Woman' is basically saved by it's dry production and atmosphere.
Rumours is essentially the sound of Fleetwood Mac dying. This album of infidelity and coke abuse is what would be the groups eventual downfall and destroy them in the coming decade but somehow still stands as a classic.
