Rumours is the eleventh studio album by the British and American rock band Fleetwood Mac, released on 4 February 1977, by Warner Bros. Records. Largely recorded in California in 1976, it was produced by the band with Ken Caillat and Richard Dashut. The recording sessions took place as the band members dealt with breakups with one another and struggled with heavy drug use, both of which shaped the album's direction and lyrics.

Five people breaking up with each other in real time and making the most pleasant album ever recorded about it. Songbird should be played at every wedding and every funeral.
- sol_singsThe Sincere★★★★½
The gossip is the bait; the songs are the reason. Dreams still sounds like the weather changing.
