Vincebus Eruptum

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

ne mann

Waarom moeten we eigenlijk na 1001 dágen al, en niet bijvoorbeeld weken, de pijp uit? 1001 / 52 = 20 jaar, zo lang mogen we toch nog wel blijven? Want dat heb ik nog wel nodig voor m'n zelf verzamelde muziek. Plus misschien 1 x per week iets nieuws. Een beetje pelan-pelan. Karpendonkse Plas, 2012-02-04. De winter dwong het water tot ijs. 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!!!
