Thankfully, no album is perfect, for absolute perfection is a kind of creative death (and some of my favorite FM albums are the ones with noticeable flaws). But reaching near-perfection means realizing a kind of inexhaustible magic, a proverbial sliver of the eternal. Or something like that.
So, all those who say “Do away with ‘Songbird’” or “Cancel ‘Oh Daddy’” or “Swap out IDWK for SS”—to those I say you’re revising for worse.

Rumours is perfect.
We're just "what iffing".
Silver Springs was NOT on Rumours, and shouldn't have been.
That is all.
