i don't reckon that person on the channel you mentioned would do that analysis unless they first experienced deep appreciation, what do you reckon?

I reckon you're relaying this through chatgpt.
I assume you're trying some Socratic questioning techniques in an attempt to make fun of me. It would work better if you demonstrated more comprehension, hence the chatgpt comparison.

I'd just like to say I agree with you both
and also that Rumours is an absolute banger of an album, isn't it

I expect it helps to make it all echo a bit more

No m8.
The old F1 theme is a banger. The rest of the album is just guff.

Rumours: full review
...
1. Second Hand News

OK fair enough this one is a bit rubbish

2. Dreams

Brilliant. "dreams of loneliness." oof. That chorus with its drums coming in like thunder exactly in step with the lyrics.

3. Never Going Back Again

Bit too Incredible String Band Painting Box for me. Should have charming stop-motion animation mice in waistcoats trundling around throughout its runtime.

4. Don't Stop

Makes a profound point. Very good.

5. Go Your Own Way

Obviously a banger for the ages. Quite funny how it got used as a "be free, spend money!!" anthem in adverts when actually it's a song about "well do you know what, fuck you. I hope you die alone."

6. Songbird

"And the songbirds keep singing
Like they know the score
And I love you, I love you, I love you
Like never before, like never before"

Oh come the fuck on. Deceptively simple. Beautiful.

7. The Chain

A perfect distillation of the 70s. If you boiled the entirety of the 70s down for a thousand years this would be what you'd get at the end of the process. An infinitely refined and perfect gemstone of 70sness.

8. You Make Loving Fun

Do you tho. Do you.

Please note, Mick Fleetwood opens his mouth ALL THE WAY when he plays drums

9. I Don't Want to Know

See 1. above.

10. Oh Daddy

Moody and spare and rather lovely.

11. Gold Dust Woman

Terrific no notes.

In summary: superlative work. sorry brb.

Wrong.
1: unmemorable guff
2: unmemorable guff
3: unmemorable guff
4: unmemorable guff
5: memorable guff
6: unmemorable guff
7: banger*
8: unmemorable guff
9: unmemorable guff
10: unmemorable guff
11: unmemorable guff

*It's not a distillation of the 70s though. There is no funk, no soul, no techno, no punk, no prog, no reggae, no jazz, no disco, no Eurovision, no St. Winifred School Choir, no Blaster Bates, no liver and onions, no avocado coloured carpet up the side of a bath... It's the F1 theme. That's why it's special.

Like that 1 good Eagles tune, it's only good because it was the HHGTTG theme.

Fleetwood Mac ceased to be a good band when their best songwriter and guitarist went mad and fucked off. Same with the most overrated band in the world, Pink Floyd. One good album, genius fucks off, rest of the band carry on being soul-crushingly dull.

Thought it worth adding
that John Patrick 'Pugwash' Weathers is a far more orgasmic drummer (in that he appears to be having massive orgasms as he plays). Terry Bozzio too. I'd rate both those drummers much higher than Mick Fleetwood. Definitely worth researching the relationship between gormless playing, orgasmic playing, and rhythmic quality.

laughing here in a good way at both of the above, thank you brb

to be absolutely honest though
my principal interests include researching the relationship between orgasmic posting and rhythmic quality
