Fleetwood Mac - Rumours - The Ultimate Breakup Album

Send us a text

Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours isn’t just an album — it’s a soap opera pressed to vinyl. Divorce, betrayal, cocaine, and tambourines that never quite hit the beat — somehow it all came together to create one of the best-selling and most beloved records of all time. In this episode, I break down the songs track by track: from the galloping bite of “Second Hand News,” to Stevie’s crystal visions in “Dreams,” to the epic, dragon-summoning power of “Gold Dust Woman.” Along the way, we’ll hit absurd tangents, questionable tambourine technique, and the eternal mystery of how a band who hated each other managed to sound this perfect.

Whether you grew up with three copies of Rumours in your parents’ garage or you’re just discovering it now, this is the story of an album that turned heartbreak into harmony and chaos into legend.
