too much of everything
Mid
Kuulee kyllä mistä iggy, ramonet, motörhead jne on saaneet vaikutteita. Paikoin kiinnostavaa muttei erityisen mieleenpainuvaa
Naw. Proto heavy metal. I can see why it’s here, but I can’t dig it too much.
Disappointingly unfocused blues rock. It has the power and riffage, but not enough melody or song structure. I can see how it influenced the heavy rock to come.
I remember getting this shoved in my face as something “heavier and earlier” than Sabbath as if either of those things calculated in my love for the group. About a decade and a half later (almost two decades? fuck), I’m here to give Blue Cheer another whirl. I’ll admit I wasn’t impressed then, but I’m curious to try again. OK. This is fine, but BC lacks the foresight and compositional skills to tighten this up into something worth revisiting. It’s very cool from a time/place perspective, I’d dig this stuff on a mix with Mountain and Jimi and the ilk, but as a standalone album I’m not too stoked on it. Aside from the fun opening cover, the SF psych standard “Out of Focus,” and the jammy closer, it’s pretty uneventful and at times uninspired. “Doctor Please” has all the ingredients but gets pretty bloated by the end and “Parchment Farm” similarly suffers from a lack of direction and satisfying resolution. I imagine they get better as time goes on, but for this specific kind of stuff I think I’d rather cover my eyes and pick from any current up-and-coming psych rock bands? 2.5
roque e metade das músicas indisponíveis meh
Best Song: Second Time Around. Good drum solo near the end. Worst Song: Doctor Please. Not terrible, but it just felt like a jam session that wasn't particularly interesting relative to any other. Overall: An altogether "alright" proto-metal album that seems to be on the list for reasons relating to legacy, rather than the overwhelming quality of the music. Also, the stereo-mixing is strange, and had me wondering whether my headphones were broken for half the album.
A naporno bajo moj. Nije mi se dalo cijelo poslusat.
Okej, ništa posebno, već se ovakvih izvođača čulo više puta, tj albuma. Ništa previše očaran u ono što sam čuo.
Not great. Some bang average covers here.
This just didn't agree with me... I should've enjoyed it due to the style but it's all a bit too messy due to the copious drug usage I'd assume.
Speedrun: getting bored of '60s psychedelia, any% glitchless. Is this bad? No. Is it as good or interesting as the big psych rock classics of its time? Also no. Does it need to be on this list? No. Favorite tracks: Out of Focus, Rock Me Baby. Album art: That classic '60s counterculture bubble font, whole thing is in purple (Deep Purple easter egg?). Pretty boring, I'll forget this one quickly. 2.5/5
Fun for a few minutes. Got old fast.
There were some songs I had heard by other groups but this was fairly meh.
Slightly puzzled that this one made the cut. It's OK, with a heavy 60s R&B vibe but nothing that made it stand out for me.
2/5
Who new that I was born in the same year as heavy metal. The least I can do is check out its origins… Good to have listened to this from a historical perspective. I have heard Summertime Blues before. Didn’t hate the listen but not really in my wheelhouse.
Bad stoner rock!
Apparently the first metal album? I liked it, though its not quite my jam.
I respect the innovation for that time and their influence, but from 2021 eyes, it’s not a great album. Plus they ruined 2 songs I love a lot.
While they might have been one of the first ones to play a heavy metal-esque sound, they didn't really do it well
Vincebus Eruptum is a slacker of an album in the lead up to Led Zeppelin's debut one year later. Zeppelin of course was a super group that was assembled with a plan in mind while these guys seemed to be smoking out of the same bong at a party and decided to make some music. The majority of this is loud repetitive trash guitar noise but finding the second track, "Rock Me Baby" was worth listening to the balance of the album.
Could have been good with a little self-control.
mid
Just a b-tec version of cream
Psychedelic blues rock. Probably a fun band to see live, but this album didn't really do much for me. It did make me a little curious about this band though. They have some good stuff, just not much on this album in my opinion.
Mmmmmmm, not a massive fan, wouldnt really listen to this passively
I liked song #2
It was just alright. 60’s rock which I’m sure was great at the time, but listening for the first time it didn’t feel like anything special
Hmm...maybe I need to hear a remastered version or something because I had a hard time getting into the album
Just cause they did it first, doesn’t mean they did it well
2/5
Tantôt Jimi Hendrix, tantôt Gun N Roses, mais surtout pleinement nul à chier.
Vincebus Eruptum feels like a bit of novelty, but also a signpost of things to come. The band slogs through the six tracks with a novel and sustained guitar tone that sounds like a precursor to heavier genres to come. Despite this revelation on guitar, the rest of the music feels average to downright boring, and the lyrics are so basic, it feels like they were written 5 minutes before the producer hit record. Fav Tracks: Out of Focus
Meh.
Liked the first track
Proto-metal? BT: Summertime Blues, Out of Focus, Parchment Farm
It's not for me, anymore.
Bland example of early metal. It’s earlier than you expected for metal, but it’s bland and bad.
Esta muy todo muy por sin ningún lado, aunque me imagino que es parte de la idea.
I can see where this was headed but just doesn’t do it for me.
boooring
Nope.
Not great. Starts off well with Summertime Blues then goes downhill.
Fun blues covers, not as heavy as I had hoped, but an interesting listen nonetheless. I had high hopes since this is considered proto-metal and <strike>paved the road</strike> walked the footpath of one of my favorite genres. It's nice to get a glimpse of where it all started.
Not quite my cuppa. Interesting to see this exists, but I’ll never once feel like coming back to listen again. I thought, well, this is a lot like Jimi Hendrix, maybe they influenced him… my google search said nah, brah, you’ve got it backwards. Blue Cheer were massively influenced by Hendrix. Like they wouldn’t have been a band without the decision to take that fuzzy freakout guitar sound and push it forward. So, do I salute Blue Cheer for being a perhaps essential stepping stone for the evolution of hard rock? Or do we think nu metal would’ve happened anyway? I guarantee you it would’ve happened anyway. Just listen to Jimi instead.
This is a metal album? It sounds like every other rock album from the 60s but even more generic. Idk much better stuff from this time period in my opinion.
This was pretty annoying. I am not a fan of this very abstract jam band. The guitar tones were soooo muddy. Just not great. It had moments, but I will not be returning. Their cover of "Summertime Blues" was bad. Actual rating...1.5 Liked Songs: "Rock Me Baby" and "Doctor Please"
High school garage band
I really did not get this album at all. It just sounded like noise thrown together. There was really nothing interesting about any of it, and I'm just glad that there were only 6 songs that I had to sit down and listen to. I found it hard to find any part of the music I enjoyed, and there was just nothing to pull me in and keep me entertained. Maybe I don't like this style in general, but that doesn't change how little this album gave me to enjoy. If anything, it was just disappointing. The guitar parts sounded very out of tune and just noisy... this was probably intentional, but it wasn't nice to listen to. I thought the mix was absolutely horrendous, especially in 'Second Time Around'... you could barely hear the vocals because the guitars were just way too loud and you couldn't coherently hear anything else in the track.
I don’t know this album.
If Mystik Spiral ended up releasing a debut album, it would sound more like this than a Doors/Nine Inch Nails hybrid. Overall: 1/10
It may be important to metal fans but it’s not very good
Did not enjoy at all
all the songs have the same sounds. Not very creative.
Not my cup of tea. Never been a fan of heavy metal. Didn’t get far with this.
For the second time, I have bailed on an album part way through. Summertime Blues was fine, Rock Me Baby was kind of annoying but not terrible, but then halfway through Doctor Please I gave up. It's an 8 minute song that mostly just sounds like a disorganized mess. I moved on to Out Of Focus, got partway through, then called it. I get this is here because it's basically the first heavy metal album, but thank god we moved on from this ASAP. Funny that the most annoying album I've pulled so far happened to be ALBUM SIX SEVEN AAAAAAAAAAAA SIX SEVENNNNNNNNNNNN
The best ones the cover song
im sorry what
One song. 30 minutes of filler
lmao
For something so short its impressive how much it felt like it was wasting my time Not my thing. Shite
I really don't care for this album.
Nice guitar but not really my vibe. Fav song is ‘Doctor Please’.
Almost regret now complaining about the audio quality on the previous album. This album doesn't sound like required listening. You could play a sample and tell a person when this happened to give some context.
Owes a heck of a lot to Hendrix. Didn't love the listen
Never heard of them, looks grim, glance at Wikipedia, hit play. Summertime Blues I know, but what is this version?? Not a good start. (As per some other groups' tracks, if they were teenagers rather than lank-haired 20-somethings, I would feel more indulgent ...) Rock Me Baby: now that is blues I can get around. Doctor Please: actually quite heavy - live feel. (Rhythm section hold the pulse while lead guitar rocks out quite personally.) The style and elements are reminiscent of many other artists - contemporaries who probably had shared tastes (like Janis Joplin vocals) or later groups who were perhaps influenced by this (early UFO live). Parchment Farm: yuck lyrics. "I've been sitting over here on Parchment Farm - Ain't ever done nobody no wrong - Oh Lord, I believe I'll be here for the rest of my life - All I did was shoot my wife - She was no good". Apparently it's a cover of a blues song, that's no excuse, fuck off with that, in the bin. It's Bad (and not in an LL Cool J way), 1/10.
Asumo que este disco está dentro de lo que sería el 'acid rock' porque se necesita consumir algún psicodélico para realmente disfrutar de esto... ...Ok, no lo odié tanto, puedo decir que entiendo la visión –aunque no tanto la ejecución–. Disfruté de escuchar los inicios de lo que sería la música 'pesada', a pesar de que sea un proyecto poco pulido, pero estoy segura de que no volvería a tocar este álbum en mi vida. ↑: Rock Me Baby ↓: Parchment Farm
Favorite Tracks: none Rating: 1.3 This probably melted faces in 1968. I found it a complete slog, the covers were the only tolerable part and the rest of the album was.....wooof. Guitar in particular was bordering on out of tune constantly, and it didn't help that the whole thing sounded like it was recorded at an open mic night in an empty dive bar. I like the blues, I like rock, I like lo-fi and garage...this ain't it son.
not my favourite!
I bet this would rule if it wasn’t for the awful mixing and production. I love the idea of fuzzed out noise, but why is it mixed quieter than the vocals which suck. The drums are barely there. Fuck this.
Lyder som et øvelokale i 70erne Råt og ufærdigt
Not for me. Thought it was awful.
Previously unknown. Probably more interesting when it was new and different.
I have a migraine today and I didn’t fucking need this.
This is crazy for 1968. But in 2026....this is a mess. I wanted to like this album but halfway through track 2 I was checked out. There were some good vocal moments, some good instrumental moments. It wasn't all bad. But not good enough to redeem the rest. Utter lack of any structure, 6 songs in 32 minutes but feels like much longer, guitars in one ear and drums in the other. A lot of...feral screeching. I can imagine myself college age in the late 60s thinking I'm super cool and edgy for liking something like this. That's about all the charm it has. The birthplace of metal? Possibly, honestly who knows. The longest 32 minutes of my life? Up there. I hope I enjoy other metal albums more than this. I want to forget I listened to this. 1.5/5 but I gotta round it down.
nope
1968; Three blokes down the pub: Let's bang out a load of covers (because we can't write our own songs). Let's play them all out of tune. Let's record them through a condenser microphone on a cheap tape recorder and release it as an album. Stoned Rolling Stone critics: This is incredible! So original! One of the all-time greats! Me in 2025: Get in the sea, lads. Absolutely unlistenable.
Well, I had never heard this before. And now that I have, I can’t say I’m too impressed. It’s kind of some over the top 1960s acid rock that is just a result of too much acid. Just kind of sounds like one big burnout.
Absolutely awful. If I want to listen to Summertime Blues I go to the Who. Pure noise by a weak band that rightfully has come and gone.
The origins of the who’s cover of ‘Summertime Blues’ and some pretty average psych/ stoner rock. Not a classic…..
Don’t like it
Pah
It's been a while since I've gotten another insanely boring late-60's/early-70's bluesy psych rock album. I haven't missed those one bit. I read this was hugely influential somehow? I don't see it. Maybe I misread it and it said it's hugely under the influence. That's probably it.
# Playlist Track - Summertime Blues # Notes - This is one of the few albums where I couldn't honestly like A SINGLE track. - I can recognize the historical value of this. Back in '68 this would be mind blowing. Alas, I'm reviewing this in 2025. - The entire thing sounds like it was recorded underwater. Super annoying.
At best this album was boring.
‘The hard rock group Blue Cheer were often referred to as being "louder than god" and no band of their era more richly earned that title’ So you can just say anything in your Spotify bio, huh? I haven’t been to church since like 2013 and even I’m incensed by this comparison. Y’all think some of the worst guitar tone ever recorded is bigger than the being that let there be fucking LIGHT? Y’all think the lines about being so depressed that you need to call your senator go harder than the Judeo Christian deity? Kick rocks, Blue Cheer!
Boring psych rock
I know I should be open minded when going into any new album, but enough past evidence and an understanding of my own taste indicated that an album from 1968 by a band whose name is an LSD reference was just going to be a dud for me. I'm just never gonna love that San Francisco Sound™
Eh
Not my thing.
Leurs guitares j’aime pas mais alors pas du tout et c’est l’instrument principal donc bon.
Glad that is over
It's just loud for the sake of being loud. Every now and then they just bang random instruments for no reason. Best song: Summertime Blues
Possibly one of the worst listening experiences of my life. Extremely unpleasant, I get that they were pushing boundaries but still the lack of talent at their instruments really stuck out.
Thank god it’s only 32 mins. I get it. But I didn’t like it
I don’t really know the affect this band had on heavy metal but who cares? It’s horrid. Endless one note solos, fuzzy guitar noodling with no direction or melody. Play the first albums of Led Zeppelin and Jimi Hendrix and compare.
Boo. I did not like psychedelic.
pass
I had never heard of this band and I think I could’ve lived without ever hearing this band. Not my style of music. The songs were long and had too many instrument solos.
No business being on this list.
bum
Yes, maybe it's one of the first heavy metal albums, but I still don't like it. Overall, it sounds very raw—not the rawness of heavy metal, but the rawness of absolutely terrible recording quality. Honestly, I find the cover of "Summertime Blues" awful. No, that gets a thumbs down. The whole thing has more of a school band feel to it. I don't know how "Blue Cheer" evolved, but in my opinion, that was nothing. Maybe the "chaos" should be a bit more "controlled."
Tedious blues rock. Lots of other bands did it better
Sooo not my thing
Ignore it. Stupid scream and noise.
I like to believe that everybody involved recorded in separate rooms.
Rubbish
Definitely a must listen but not a great album.
Kuusi biisiä joita kerran kuuntelee. Turos hevigee on suomentanut yhden
The epitome of what I hate in music. 60’s blues rock with screams vocals with kinda eh mixing. Like, what can you do haha. Thank goodness it’s 32 minutes long… any more and I’d scream
This annoyed the crap out of me.
An absolute train wreck.
Maaaaaaaaan turn this bullshit OFF! Blokes went into the studio, hit record and just did fuckall for 38 straight minutes. Absolutely not.
Don’t really like any of the songs, even the cover of summertime blues didn’t really click
Not for me 1/5
First two songs sound decent, probably because they are covers. The rest genuinely sounds bad to me.
Not good, but at least it was short.
Short with a high proportion of covers.
"Originators of heavy metal", "influential in the development of...". Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hear you. They may have done it early but they sure didn't do it well. The rhythm section keeps changing tempo for no apparent reason, the guitarist is school-band level with delusions of being able to play like Jimi Hendrix. He keeps on launching into off-key solos that bear no relationship at all to the song the rest of the band is playing. The vocalist is OK, just. Live, in a field in California and off my head on acid, maybe. Sunday morning, sitting at home with some headphones on. Nope. Terrible. 1/5.
1.5 Just did nothing for me. Extremely mediocre rock. Sorry Blue Chew.
Just too noisy / gruff for me. I don't like listening to this type of music. It did make me want to listen to other versions of Summertime Blues, though!
Like a stoned teenage garage band recorded live. In the garage.
Holy crap this was terrible
This was not what I was in the mood for. I like CCR, but this album confirms to me that that's the exception, not the rule.
[1/10] This sounds like shit
Not my thing
Garbage.
Boring mediocre late 60s rock
Sounded familiar, but didn't care for this at all.
Every song sounds very much the same. And the vocals are like nails on a chalkboard. Hard pass.
Not for me. 1/5
They should probably try to re-record that once they're sober again. Complete torture.
No
Not my favourite
1. bluez - 0 2. rock - 1.5 3. pleaze - 1 4. focuz - 1 5. farm - 1 6. around - 1.5
Loud, not good
Not for me. I debated giving it 2 stars but towards the end, it was tiresome & repetitive.
Wow, this was bad. 2/10
This album isn't for me, it sounded boring and samey and just sounds like a lot of noise most of the time.
70s hard rock. Not really my thing
I know this CD by reputation as an influence on early-developing hard rock and heavy metal. But boy is it rough. It makes some garage bands I know look like Van Halen. Some of their guitar solos sound like someone making fun of terrible guitar players. From the perspective of a 21st century listener, it's basically only a historical curiosity, like a museum exhibit showing a proto-mammal that laid eggs and had scales.
Bloody awful blues rock. Singer wasn't great and the sound was muddy, I'm putting it down to poor production. There are a lot better albums of this genre (I believe we have listened to them all on this list) didn' t need it.
When I was 13 or 14 I went to a small gig in the community centre back home in Welwyn Garden City. The gig was for a small rock/metal outfit which included a brother of a friend I went to school with. I remember vividly wearing a t-shirt with "it is better to have loved and lost" on the front and "than be stuck with a psycho for the rest of your life" on the back. Turns out a girl I had unceremoniously dumped a week ago spent the gig standing behind me and spent an hour reading "than be stuck with a psycho for the rest of your life" in front of her. It wasn't intentional, I just thought it was a cool shirt, or someone had got it for me or something. Anyway, the reason I bring this up is that I remember just as much of the gig with my friend's brother in it as I will of this album.
Not for me.
I think everything was great. Except for the lyrics. The lyrics are boring and uninspiring. Great musicians tho
Nope 1*
It's some kids taking drugs and turning up the volume knobs on their amplifiers and making loud noises. It's not as ground-breaking as music historians would have you believe. You just had to be there with an amp and a guitar and a lack of restraint. "They did it first! It's important! Without them, you wouldn't have metal or bands like the Pixies or Nirvana!" says the Straw Man I just invented. No. This was literally inevitable. I'm not rewarding that.
A forgettable experience.
Bad
Would have preferred to not listen to this album
Hollow and uninspired
Uggh. Another white band from the late 60s playing twelve bar blues through overdriven amps. The only thing I gain from listening to this is more respect for the Stones and Zeppelin.
Nah
Not good.
The first song is a tinny sounding bare bones version of Eddie Cochran’s “Summertime Blues.” So many have done this song better. Second up is the standard “Rock Me Baby” they should have been ashamed to release this as some of the greats have covered this song. The rest of the songs consist of The guitar player going off and playing soloes like he doesn’t even know what song is playing. They are so off key and jarring. I suppose he’s trying to show off his guitar skills, but I winced all through the rest of this album . It’s obvious that the record company spared a lot of expense on this album.
Not a fan.
Zero stars. This sucked
Who chose these albums??
This album sucked. Production was ass and the tunes were no good 1.5
This sounds like Black Sabbath, but it's older. It's also nowhere near as good. People shouldn't be listening to this anymore. I don't recommend any of the songs. Listen to Clutch or Fu Manchu instead.
The kind of 70s sound that I don't really enjoy very much. Excesseive guitar forward sound, extended leads and a guitar sound that doesn't fit my ear. 1.5 stars
instead of showing us the first album of a genre, what if this list showed us the first GOOD album of a genre
Maybe this sounded cool back in th day, but it doesn’t hold up.
They seems a little strong on the guitars for 68, didn't love their style
Too much noise.
Vincebus Eruptum, for me, felt like it was going nowhere. The repetitive guitar riffs and lackluster vocals contributed to a forgettable experience, lacking the innovation or depth found in other rock albums of its time. Despite attempts to appreciate its raw energy, the album failed to leave a lasting impression on my musical preferences. NUMBER OF BANGERS - 0 STAND OUT TRACK - None
Turned this off at the killed my wife song. Some of the guitar stuff was kinda interesting but the lyrics are an ick
Ahead of its time? Yes. Sounding good or even tolerable? No.
A truly derivative album. It’s not a good album Rolling Stones and it’s not a good Led Zeppelin. If it’s supposed to be a bridge between the two, you have to ask, what is it good for? I would say, not much of anything.
As meandering and unfulfilling as blues rock can possibly get.
2/10
Sort of like The Jimi Hendrix experience without any of the hooks.
I might’ve enjoyed this album live in an underground club in 1968 while doing a lot of drugs. But sitting in my office trying to listen? Not so much. I especially hated the cover of “Summertime Blues.” It was clever to replace the deep “adult” voice of the song with instruments, but the tempos were all over the place and mostly paced like a dirge. The album title “Vincebus Eruptum” is Latin for “controlled chaos.” I’ll agree that this album was chaos, but it definitely wasn’t controlled.
Vincebus? I'd rather listen to the Vengabus. More "turn on, tune in, drop out" shite.
couldn't make it thru the first song. it sounds like it was recorded inside a fishbowl
Nope. Mediocre, basic, and screamy. I already decided this was a 1 and then it was confirmed by "All I did was shoot my wife."
Un poco lo que esperaba de este lista, pero eso no lo hace menos turra.
Doors bullshit. No thanks.
This sounds like a high school garage band that kind of got their shit together.
Not a fan.
👎
Not much going on
One of the worst albums I've ever heard. Would give it zero stars if I could
I don’t like metal
Not everyone heard this album but everyone who did started a band, and all those bands fucking suck
Okay, so probably I understand why this album has a place on a list - heavy metal sound in sixties, even before Black Sabbath, or any other prototype of metal genre. So kudos to Blue Cheer, their experiment might or might not influenced quite a big chunk of music in the years to come. On the other hand, "Vincebus Eruptum" is totally not listenable by any means. The vocal is atrocious, the guitar have that shredding, deeply distorted sound, but together with the rest of the instruments it feels like a randomised game of "you go, I go". I survived first two songs, which were covers, so it had some kind of structure, but as soon as we moved into uncharted territory of Blue Cheer's imaginations I had to throw in the towel and surrender. In my opinion it was one of the worst albums I have heard on this list.
I can’t say I enjoyed listening to it, but I appreciated it as an early version of Heavy Metal. The recording quality is horrendous.
First time hearing of this band and record. Reading the wiki, I see this is one of the first bands to play heavy metal. The production is almost non existent, and it's pretty rough to listen to. It also seemed like they kind of made it up as they went along. I feel like they didn't know how to start or end any songs and it all just blended together into an almost never ending noise. It felt like time moved slower when listening to this, even though it's pretty short. These ratings are about my personal taste, and just because it was the first, doesn't necessarily make it good. 1.5/5
no esta en spotify
They didn't invent metal, they just couldn't play or write tunes.
I had to skip most songs at about 1/4 through because they were unlistenable. I had hoped because they sounded a bit like Jimi Hendrix. But no. A big meh.
I didn't like this album. The songs weren't enjoyable and felt like they would never end. Definitely not for me. Favorite song: N/A Worst song: Doctor Please
If you wrote an album to be exactly what I didn't want to hear in music, it wouldn't be half as bad as this. The most uninspired garbage I've ever heard. Safe and unexciting.
Ugh, I hate this. I like a guitar, but this is just grating and an assault on the ears. Production is terrible. They sound reeeeally amateur, like they're a teen band who haven't learnt how to play with each-other properly yet. Why the fuck does the lead guitar keep cutting in and warbling in a different tempo and style to the rest of it? This is the kind of thing I'd expect to see in a comedy film or parody - a lead character in a band who thinks they're good and are tearing it up, but the reality is they're shit and the audience are laughing at them. This is the first album to make me properly angry. Fuck this noise. I'm not a fan at all, and neither is my tinnitus. 1/5
Summertime Blues is the best song on this record but that isn't saying much. Overall very messy production. The guitar work is fine and at points is very ahead of its time, however everything else falls kind of flat. The lyrics and vocals are hard to make out for most of the record. Favorite Track: Summertime Blues Least Favorite Track: Second Time Around
If you like unnecessary guitar noise, this album is for you!
A lot of banda from this era making a similar sound but much better
Absolutely awful, all the bad bits of Janis Joplins band - self indulgent, noisey, hectic, over elaborate, pretensious. Can see how it was influential though just basically unpleasant. I'd give it 1.5 but I can't so I'm rounding down to be dramatic. 1 star BAAAD
Hold higher standards for rock. It sounds dated and because of that a high 1 star
Turgid
Didn't really enjoy much about this.
Recording quality is pretty horrible and detracts from the overall album. Guitar is dialed way up, and gets repetitive. Originally marked it as 2 stars, not very enjoyable album overall. Dropping it to 1 star as I'm not going to finish this album. Terrible.
So boring I didn’t remember a single song lol
Shambolic self-indulgent nonsense… couldn’t wait for this to finish!
This was chaotic, and not in a good way. Didn't like it.
“A howling mess.”
Simply terrible
So hard core when first heard now it’s just a look back to a mix of head banging rock 🤘 heavy metal 🎸 & crazy base!!!
A difficult and tedious listen. I actually considered doing the hoovering as a more pleasing alternative.
I have this weird vivid memory of me at age 7 or so proclaiming, "I like rock, I just don't like acid rock." I'm thinking it was directed to my older brother who had music like this in his collection. Well, although the term "acid rock" hasn't really been in my consciousness since 1978, some things never change. "Summertime Blues": Okay, this is a valid, hard rock take on the classic, but makes me miss the original. "Rock me Baby": We're getting into a bluesy groove that I get. B. B. King song! Maybe I'll kind of like the rest of this album okay. "Doctor Please" is the first original song of the band. Not enjoying. Is it almost done? Oh, no, it's eight minutes long. Hmm, I'm kind of tired of the guitar and the screaming, and the drummer is certainly drumming. Those are interesting guitar noises. Please end. Please end. Oh, thank God. Maybe the next song is better. "Out of Focus." Holy shit, it sounds exactly the same as the last song. Is it even a different song? "Parchment Farm": Good, this one at least sounds different. Picking cotton? Hmm. "Second Time Around": I feel like Dickie's throat must be pretty sore by now and could use some lemon tea. Oh, wait! The guitars stopped for the first time. Oh, this is a drum solo! Is it done now? No, bass fading back in. Now lots of wailing guitar sounds again! Six minutes going. Aaaaaand it's done. Phew.
I can hear their influence on The River Bottom Nightmare Band. I was kind of ok with it until Parchment Farm which is...problematic on a couple of fronts. There are better albums to listen to for this kind of psychedelic rock sound. I doubt I'll listen to this again.
Kun halvdelen af albummet er på Spotify, men det er ikke lige mig.
not good

En Betty er op de schaats, 14 rondjes. Ikzelf had daar aan 1 rondje glibberen op Slayer's Abyss meer dan genoeg aan. Ja, liever die, dan de Blue Cheer nog maar eens luisteren. Hmm, ach, toch maar World Painted Blood.
Oh no
like i dont think it was bad but i probably wouldnt listen to it again. it isnt really the type of music i listen to but i can see why people would like it
Poorly mastered hard rock without the same charm as Black Sabbath. 2/10
Mercifully it is only 32 minute long. I loathe this music. Psychedelic fuzz-box trashy blues with dumb lyrics and regularly finds ways to travel up its own butt with unlistenable noodling solos.
Just couldn't get into that one.
Rubbish
Ikke tilgængeligt
Very groovy!!!
