A Classic album!

Review Score: (10/10)
When I first listened to this album, I wasn't sure what to think quite honestly. After a few more times, it has now become one of the most important albums I own. It out shines "Physical" which I think is truly wonderful, too, but "The Rumour" takes you to a new level of maturity - not just in lyrics, but in vocals. To this day, I can't believe that it wasn't her biggest success!
My favorite tracks include "Walk Through Fire", "Big and Strong", "Love and Let Live", "Let's Talk About Tomarrow", "The Rumour", and "Car Games". Just sit back and listen to some of the most incredible vocals you will ever hear by Olivia - delivered with conviction and confidence. Listen even closer to the words - the messages are sometimes fun, but more often beautiful and contemplative. Olivia actually co-wrote many of the songs, too.
This is an "album" that deserves more - even by Olivia herself. I have seen her in concert 3 times, and not once has she ever sang anything from "The Rumour".
I have been a fan of Olivia for 26 years - this to me represents her best, most incredible work.
