Amazon.co.uk Review
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 fare. --Rob O'Connor

Description
This second album with Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham is Fleetwood Mac's defining moment. Leaving the original blues outfit led by Peter Green seeming like a different band completely. The new soft rock direction was a huge hit and the singles 'Go Your Own Way', 'Dreams' and 'Don't Stop' propelled 'Rumours' to sales of over 17,000,000.
