"Rumours" is possibly one of the most "complete" albums ever made.
i think that the turmoil in the relationships within the band at the time of writing/recording, meant that every emotion, thought, and conscious action (as well as some sub-conscious ones also) were thrown into the finished recording.
one (other) thing i always thought about it - despite the themes and perpetuating sadness/raw emotions running through it - the tunes/melodies lift the gloom and give the album itself very much a "summer" feel
it also stands the test of time incredibly well.

That's EXACTLY how I see it, and I'm a late starter for Fleetwood Mac - it's a very bittersweet album: raw, to the bone lyrics with an upbeat tempo. Very "complete" as you say.....it's up there with Queen II. Tusk is a great follow up too, btw. Hopefully will be getting to see them live at the Hydro, Glasgow, in October.
