A Needle on the Wound for Fleetwood Mac on Rumours

California cocaine. Broken love. Malibu sunlight filtered through blinds and emotional fallout. Fleetwood Mac didn’t just record Rumours – they bled it. This was a band shattered by affairs, fueled by dysfunction, stitched together by songcraft so perfect it still feels supernatural. And yet it’s also painfully human. These aren’t fairy tales. They’re field recordings from the wreckage.

You hear that from the first downstroke of Lindsey Buckingham’s rhythm guitar. It’s unrelenting, like he’s slashing at his own past. “Second Hand News” kicks off the album like a door being kicked in. On the right setup – let’s say Klipsch Heresy IVs fed by a Luxman tube amp – the acoustic grit cuts straight through the room. It’s dry, tight, urgent. You’re not listening to a song. You’re caught in a breakup argument with reverb on the walls.
