UK, 1977, pop rock / soft rock
Fleetwood Mac – Rumours: How often does it take a band 11 albums to reach their best work? It’s quite a feat. Well, I guess that’s what heartbreak and drama do: they make for good creative output. This album is an emotional roller-coaster, the heights of the romantic joy being commensurate with the depths of rejection’s and uncertainty’s despair. The album is also perfectly titled, alluding not only to insecurity but to the idea that everyone is talking behind everyone else’s back.
For me, I know little of this band beyond this album, which strikes me as a perfect storm of heartache and inspiration.
