Fleetwood Mac (1975) (studio album) by Fleetwood Mac

I like to think of this album as a less consistent version of rumours. I would recommend this album to anyone who enjoys the music of fleetwood mac.

Not as good as rumours, but it still has many good songs.
Rhiannon, Over my head, say that you love me, crystal, and landslide.
The rest of the album is pretty much filler.

But still a good album overall.

My favorite Fleetwood Mac album. The first one I ever owned. I'd never heard of them but they had a hit Over My Head which I loved so bought the lp. This is the first time the band had 3 yes 3 strong songwriters. All of them capable of writing a hit. Of course the back bone is the fantastic rhythm section of Fleetwood (Mick) and Mac (John McVie). Best songs Monday Morning, Warm Ways, Rhiannon!, Over My Head, Crystal.

Not so different from Rumours in term of quality. I would say that Rumours is more consistent but the high points go higher on this self titled effort. Fav tracks: Blue Letter, say you love me and Landslide.

This album transports me to freshman year of college, when one of my roommates and I were both obsessive fans of Fleetwood Mac. This was the album we listened to most often, especially the characteristically energetic Lindsey Buckingham opener "Monday Morning," which hits the soul like a hot cup of truckstop coffee. Of course, the truly classic song here is "Rhiannon," which is both my favorite Fleetwood Mac song and the name of a (once) beloved girlfriend who was named for it.

Their best album, followed by "tusk". It is an example of the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. they have got 3 good lead vocalists. 3 good songwriters..Lindsay Graham really added another dimension to the sound of the group. It slowly became a huge hit, selling over 5 million copies by 1977. My fav song is "crystal" ...."Rumours" was a disappointment.

The epic shift to the Buckunham/Nick's version of the group that would be so successful blending catchy pop hooks into the rock, but somehow maintaining some depth and grit in the process. So different from the original Mac, it really is like it's own seismic debut album. As great and well received as it was though, it was something of a prelude to the even bigger Rumours.

Though it might not be quite as consistent as Rumours, this is a great album! Rhiannon, Landslide, Say That You Love Me, are my top three but there's really not a bad song on here. It's strange the think that this was the first album with Stevie Nicks and Lindsay Buckingham, can't imagine the lineup without those two.
