Green River

Oh I fuck with this It’s getting kind of old now Ooh tombstone shadow cook it up I guess 😼 Very southern night

I never know how I feel about CCR. I don't actively dislike their stuff but very little of it actually does anything for me. Bad Moon Rising features on this album and that immediately elevates it, but other tracks have already fallen out of the recesses of my brain. As a positive, it's only a 30ish minute listen. As a negative, I still found myself clock-watching when I was surprised it was still going.

Pretty fun but I'm not sure it will stay with me for long

Good songwriting and no-nonse rock ‘n’ roll.

it's fine! the only song i really listen to from this is "bad moon rising" but the rest is pleasant enough as well.

Decent enough - bad noon on the rise clear standout

It’s alright… I’ve heard the songs before. Not a huge fan, but I don’t really dislike it. Just kinda makes me feel like I should be hanging out in Branson or something.

I like CCR but Cosmo's Factory to me stands head and shoulders over everything else I've heard. Maybe one day that will change.

Oh well CCR, never understood the very American hype about CCR. Yes they have some songs which are great, but also it is not ground breaking stuff.

Good album! Very rocky but chilled liked it!

Solid ass CCR album, no annoying tracks, bad moon rising is a classic, and it was cool to hear a couple live versions at the end.

La verdad buen country rock. me guuuusta la banda, me gusta su vos. nada del otro mundo pero igual

CCR was so locked in during this stretch: driving upbeat swamp jams but spooky weird apocalyptic lyrics. There is a limit to how much CCR I can take, but the record is tight, no filler, and next thing I knew I wanted to hear 'Song for Everyone' again.

CCR putting their trademark spin on blues rock. Solid throughout, if not transcendent.

I like the instrumentation, I enjoyed Lodi, Bad Moon Rising and Green River. Not a fan of Wrote A Song For Everyone. But the rest of the album was alright

they're fine Would I listen again: give me a greatest hits Deserves to be on this list: eh 3.3

There’s just something about John Fogerty’s voice, gotta be in a mood to listen to this stuff, but it hits perfectly during it

No sé amigo es creedence que puedo decir. Bueno. Cosmo's Factory dejo la vara muy alta.

Представьте, что вы попали в конец 60ых годов прошлого века в США и едете автостопом через всю страну от восточного побережья к западному. Сзади уже пронеслись обжитые и современные Нью-Йорк, Нью-Джерси, Делавэр, Виргиния, обе Каролины и Джорджия. Точно так же пижонские Камаро и Мустанги, водилы которых подбрасывали вас с ветерком под Джимми Хендрикса и The Doors, постепенно начали сменяться менее вычурными и доступными немецкими "жуками", насквозь пропахшими то ли травкой, то ли мужской раздевалкой, из которых лились вводящие в транс риффы Jefferson Airplane. Но спустя пару дней езды одна из этих рабочих лошадок высаживает вас на очередной развилке на границе с условной Алабамой или Теннесси, где свежеуложенный и всё ещё не потрескавшийся под солнцем и колёсами асфальт меняется на полуразбитую просёлочную дорогу. Мимо вас сперва без оглядки проезжает не менее разбитый и облезший фордовский грузовичок неопределённого года выпуска, но, видимо, повидавший ещё Корейскую войну. Через полсотни метров он всё же останавливается и из его окна с отсутствующим стеклом высовывается загорелое веснушчатое лицо с полуоткрытым ртом, жующим соломинку, и лёгким кивком приглашает внутрь. Что же станет саундтреком вашего путешествия мимо сырых, как трусики среднестатистической посетительницы концерта Beatles, болот и золотых полей на ближайшую треть страны?.. Если вы предположили, что Creedence Clearwater Revival, то вы либо прекрасно знаете музыкальную историю США, либо вернулись из Вьетнама с ПТСР и опиумной зависимостью. Вышедший летом 1969ого альбом Green River хоть и не содержал тот самый гимн крылатой кавалерии, но разошёлся не менее хорошо среди американского рабочего класса. Как ни странно, но пышноволосые калифорнийцы были наиболее популярны именно на фермерском юге страны, вероятно, ввиду нарочитой приземлённости и, как бы сказали сейчас, "жизовости" своих сценических образов и музыки. Звук и лирика CCR не похожи на психоделически-метафорическую волну исполнителей тех лет. Это незамысловатый (хоть и достаточно качающий) и непретенциозный южный рочешник c щепоткой кантри и блюза и текстами о криках жирных лягух в топях, о нежелании идти на войну, о бессмысленной беготне "городских крыс", не замечающих мира вокруг. Есть там и более угрожающе "мифологические" зарисовки вроде Bad Moon Rising и Sinister Purpose, сочетающие некоторую апокалиптичность и богобоязненность со свойственной необразованным реднекам верой в чертовскИе знаки и приметы. Самым выделяющимся треком на альбоме является по-рокнролльному развратный The Night Time Is The Right Time (https://music.yandex.ru/album/8268774/track/4836) в стиле какого-нибудь Литл Ричарда. Готов поставить сотку, что под этот трек были зачаты десятки тысяч американцев. Немного портят впечатления две последних сугубо инструментальных композиции (Broken Spoke Shuffle и Glory Be), которые не отличаются какими-то сложными аккордами и новаторской техникой игры. Хотя учитывая всё вышесказанное, вряд ли этого стоило ожидать. 6 сельских потанцушек в прокуренном амбаре из 10.

Classic album, but does not have the depth im looking for.

I loveeeee Creedance but I'm not IN LOVEEEE with this album. Of course Bad Moon Rising is just an absolute classic and such a feel good hit but If I'm rating the album on it's entirety then no this is not my favourite album and lacks a bit of flavour. I love you CCR I know you've got better

Every time I hear these boys, I have trouble believing they're not from Louisiana or Mississippi or Alabama or some such place.

This album gave me Vietnam flashbacks. I was born ~15 years after the war. In Europe.

Enjoyed this more than I thought I would! If I had to indulge in some 60s Redneck Rock this would certainly be up there in my list of choices. Swamp Rock deserves a modern comeback.

Es un discazo. Me impresiona lo compacto y entretenido que es. Sin considerar que esta dentro de unas de las discografías mas densas. ¿Sacar 3 álbumes con esos números en un año? De locos.

Every song just like the last. Just never got these guys. I so want to like them and so don’t.

good. i was waiting for it to be great; didn't follow through unfortunately.

paradigmatic american music, very direct and clear blues sound without too much artifice or pretension the vocal performance doesnt quite excite me and the sense of urgency created by such short and concise tracks is both their greatest strength and their biggest limitation

Bonus points for a short album in this sea of absolute behemoths.

Not their best album, but it's still better than a lot of the albums I've listened to so far.

Decent rock album

No fav song

A slice of middle America. Has aged better than i expected.

100% pure unstoppable dad rock

Green River: 3.5/5 Favorite: Bad Moon Rising Least favorite: The night time is the right time

CCR is good when I'm feeling like it, I wasn't feeling like it...

Perfectly fine faux-Southern rock. You can tell they're posers because it all lacks a certain scumbaggery (which I do like in the right doses) in the vocal and the instrumental. That's probably how they managed to get so big. Wrote a Song for Everyone feels especially egregiously affected.

1969 but it is all right.

CCR is an exemplar of southern rock. Bad Moon Rising and Lodi are radio staples. This may partially explain why I’m a little bored with them, though other radio hit makers I still love. The styling of the lead singer is the main draw and, to a lesser extent, the songwriting. The production is good enough to be listenable, which is more than can be said for plenty of 60s and 70s rock albums. The musicians are solid, but there are no Jimi Hendrixes here. I liked hearing the bonus superstition song in Sinister Purpose and the double lead guitar moment in Tombstone Shadow. I also enjoyed the shift to a Motown cover on The Night Time is the Right Time. I don’t hate it. I wouldn’t need it in my collection to on though.

Definitely not one of my favourite bands, but it was good

now when one of the three songs i've heard before comes on at a bar i can smugly think to myself "ah, creedence clearwater revival." fav: commotion

It's fine album, very well made and incredible performances. Nothing stood out however.

Country shit, pleasebt guitar, kinda like gorrilaz stuff, comfort listen(thats a thing?), inoffensive pleasentness, could go to sleep with it on.

Lite för tråkigt

On the previous Creedence Clearwater Revival album I said that they had a particular sound, and that as a result, I kept expecting every song to turn into Bad Moon Rising, yet it never did. I was in luck this time! I feel the same as on the previous album. It's perfectly enjoyable as background music, I wouldn't turn it off, but I'm not going to seek it out. It's probably a 2.5/5 but I actually did like it enough to not get a 2, so: 3/5

Bad Moon Rising is kinda the song keeping this album afloat. Everything else kinda sounds the same.

En del bangers och sen en del same same

Not a lot of great tracks here, but it does have the legendary 'Bad Moon Rising', along with a couple of other bangers in 'The Night Time Is The Right Time', as well as 'Green River' and 'Wrote a Song for Everyone'. Ultimately, it's probably not the best Creedence album, but it holds up fairly well after all these years.

plenty to like about this tight little record! the band is unfussy and very tight, a clear product of John Fogerty's infamous work ethic, and Side B in particular has some wonderful songs. the country-goth workouts of Bad Moon Rising and Sinister Presence have more than a little to do with heavier bands from Maiden to Suicide, and Fogerty's plaintive vocal on Lodi is just lovely. they lose me a bit in the bluesier numbers, which blend together a bit and aren't helped by Fogerty's hillbilly yowl seeming a bit put-on. it's fun to hear a full statement from a band i only know from compilations and movie soundtracks - can't say any of it surprised me, but their ubiquity certainly makes sense!

it was a slow listen at the beginning and i wasn’t really as hooked to. the music as much as i thought i would be but around the last few songs it really grabbed my attention and i enjoyed it a lot. overall i feel this is a decent album and i will continue to listen to it go further appreciate its content.

Run-of-the-mill Woodstock rock, this time with amazing vocals. The rest is pretty basic, though. Favorite Track: Bad Moon Rising - It always feels odd, but not bad, whenever a song I listen to regularly comes up on one of these albums.

Honestly find this one pretty bland unfortunately. CCR has much superior work in my eyes.

A good old country album, not so memorable 3/5

I used to say I hate CCR. But I fuck with this heavy.

This album is a little one trick pony for me, but it's a good trick. Fogerty's guitar work is some hot stuff from a blues perspective. "Sinister Purpose" has a bit of a Black Sabbath N.I.B. vibe.

I like some of the jam band / solo moments but the way some of the compositions are strung together rubs me the wrong way. Glad I listened to this one for its importance and found a couple cool songs, but probably won't revisit the entire album soon

A noce record coming from a genre I don't particularly enjoy. It's well put together for sure, but it doesn't resonate with me. Enjoyable.

Alright. 3. Not my kind of music but overall pleasant album

i'll never forget my friend spiderman getting mad i bought a cover / 5

I liked it, it'll get a 3

Listens: 3 Standout Tracks: Commotion, Bad Moon Rising, Sinister Purpose Second CCR album. I don't... um... Okay; It's two album so far that I've listened to, and they total barely an hour worth of music. I gave Bayou Country a 4. That was album 61/1089 for me. This is album 398/1089. I still have no strong objections against this music - Swamp Rock I read one reviewer call it - I just can't give this another 4. It's all too similar sounding. Individual songs are good. CCR in small doses is good. Compared to what this album could be, 29 minutes might very well be considered a small dose. I could not listen to this for hours on end, and so by the third full play, I want to turn it off. Again, not because its bad, but there's almost no identity to individual songs.

Prima album

Ok, but it all sounds like Bad Moon Rising

this album it’s not really my type of music, but it’s not bad

legalzinho

Conocía solo algunas canciones de ellos y fue interesante explorar más su estilo country, blues y rock

I hated John fogherty and used to hear this shit every where when I was younger. I was prepared to give this a 2 at best but enough time has passed so we’re getting a 3

Makes me imagine a 1969 summer backed by blues scales. Probably cooking meth #merica #folk

Fine I want to like it more than I do though.

My personal replays: Bad Moon Rising

Enjoyed this a little more than I thought I would. I like the propulsiveness of Sinister Purpose.

Nice to hear.

Low/mid 3. Didn't care for the last couple tracks and just has a very bland feel overall

it's blues rock. wrote a song for everyone is nice.

Bluesy. His voice has been played out for me. It is so distinct that I can't separate it from the hits that are so very overplayed. It all gives nearly the same vibe. Not my cup of tea.

Good and short Easy to get through, couple of classics All good 3

Yeah some good tunes on this, got the toe tappin. Pretty similar to the last one 3

Love CCR and this is a great album! I don't think a lot of their most memorable songs are on here, but I really enjoyed it overall and would definitely listen again. Top Songs: Wrote a Song For Everyone, Bad Moon Rising, Lodi, Cross-Tie Walker

Pretty good album if a little samey. Incredible that CCR brought out 3 albums that year. Different times...

ghood

decent background listening dad rock

Perfectly good CCR. Not my favorite from them, but their music is so easy to listen to. 3.75

Didn't enjoy as much as the other CCR album I heard from the generator. It has like three hits, which there are two I have heard many times and the rest not so much.

Bueno

Liked it a lot.

Tombstone shadow Bad moon rising Green river Wrote a song for everyone Lodi

Nostalgic stuff, my dad listened to this a lot growing up. I know most of these songs already. Would give a 3.5 stars if possible.

I like this actually! Swamp rock is not really my thing but there's enough classic rock and blues influences to keep my interest. Fogerty's voice hasn't become a caricature yet.

3.8/5

Totally fine. Doesn't change my opinion of Creedence.

MJ Lenderman and CCR are like the same band

No spoko w sumie. Idealna do zrzucania napalmu na Vietcong i napierdalania z M16A1 po krzakach. 6,5/10

I had a good vibe listening to the album. Overall would give it a 3.

it was ok! disnt stand out to me

It's really hard for me to rate classic rock albums since I grew up listening to them and I sort of end up taking them for granted. I appreciate a lot of the song quality on this one but man Fogerty's voice grates when you have to listen to it for an entire album, and besides the 2 big hits none of the songs really grabbed me. 3 feels too low but I feel like I'm too familiar with some of these songs to get any new enjoyment out of them. 3.5

It’s been a while since i’ve listened to some good honest rock. It’s doesn’t super wow me but it rocked up when i needed it. It’s short but half this album could be standouts.

manatees would dig

CCR - явно группа не для меня. Слушать больше 1-2 песен мне сложно, мне не особо нравится вокал солиста да и однообразность звучания на пластинке в принципе. Хотя сам блюз я переношу спокойно, но.. видимо, не CCR.

Love CCR. Such a good sound and a fun listen. I'll return to it...but maybe not a top tier album for me.

Good songs with an old timey feel and rhythms. Bad Moon Rising favorite song. Like a country rock in a way. Road trip music with the windows down in summer

There are few artists that make me think of the American deep south like Creedence Clearwater Revival. John Fogerty's wailing vocals are so distinctive and have been emulated by many. The big hit from this album is "Bad Moon Rising". Full of twanging lead, acoustic guitar, cymbal and stamping bass drum. It feels like it might be being performed by the most talented one man band you have ever seen. But it never fails to get my tapping my feet. This album feels a mixture of blues, 60s rock and country. Blended expertly to never dip too far into any of these genres, but manages to showcase the best of each. (2.625)

Great vibe, great execution.

I was pretty disappointed when I saw this didn't have any of the hits that I would recognize on it, but it was still pretty good. I really liked this a lot, there were some pretty amazing standout tracks on it. I think the rest of the album is a little underwhelming, but its highs are really high. Favorites: Sinister Purpose, The Night Time Is the Right Time

I have enjoyed this (especially amidst the other albums this week), as welcome relief! Nice to tap my foot instead of shaking my head. 1. Green River 2. Commotion 3. Bad Moon Rising

Overall very good!

sympa

Добавил 2 песни, неплохой альбом, чтобы отдохнуть

liked it?? but i wasnt rlly in the mood for it, not my style rn

if you like Bayou Southern Rock, you're in for a good time. Some good hits here but they do tend to run together like a lot CCR's music. Good classic rock thats at least worth a listen.

This one’s fine. There’s too many CCR albums on this list though. At least this one has Lodi which is their best song

Переслушать

Classic Southern Rock sound from the 60s -70s. Solid album. Imo nothing to write home ab but enjoyed the listen!

Le doy 3/5, like no tuvo amazing standouts pero easy listen Pa mi esto es driving music. Me encanta el blues y el timbre de su voz tiene buen color pero esperaba mas de los guitar solos Faves fueron Wrote A Song For Everyone y The Night Time Is The Right Time. Bad Moon Rising being the iconic song de este album

Fun listen, great effort on number of selections…bad moon rising and green river classics

great start.

Yeah it’s fun

Still can't believe these dudes are from CA

Solid project Inviting songwriting and a good first impression of the band

very upbeat and fills me with joy and whimsy fav song: Bad Moon Rising

Solid album, enjoyed the swampy rock tunes, and especially the hits. 6/10

Wrote A Song For Everyone // Bad Moon Rising //

Excelente álbum, te transporta a una peli country, aunque me suena un poco monotono.

solid album

Exactly what you'd expect from a CCR album. Not as fun as the jammy Bayou Country, but really solid blues with jazzy lead guitar and powerful vocals.

I just don't find CCR very interesting. Not much variety at all and the general flavor of folk/country infused rock has always been pretty stale to me.

Very middle-of-the-road stuff

I will probably return to this album after a bit of time has passed to see if I think differently but for now it's nothing too crazy for me. Good sounds with a few songs I liked but also a couple songs I consider more filler. The country feeling I get is very hit-or-miss on some songs as well.

In highschool (early 00s), there was a faculty band called “The Barely Ables” that would occasionally play at school events and my memory is that like half of their set was CCR songs. They’re about as Classic Rock(TM) as you can get. They have a stripped-down, bluesy, grit about them that I should really embrace, but for whatever reason it's never quite taken. I know the big hits here, "Green River" and "Bad Moon Rising", and "The Night Time Is The Right Time" was a fun little bop to end the record. Actually, I'm kind of surprised it didn't end up as the second-to-last track on a Van Halen record (where they always seemed to stick a blues cover); maybe if Dave had stuck around another album or two. I see a lot of people calling out "Lodi" as their favorite CCR track, and I guess I get it but it just feels like a distillation of so many of their other songs that it doesn't feel all that fresh or original. If you had to explain this band to someone with one track, it's probably a great choice. Would I listen to it again? Sure. Would I buy this and play it? I doubt it. I have a suspicion that a greatest hits record would give me all the CCR I need.

Here are there I like Creedence, an album is too much John Fogerty for me.

Classic songs of my youth that my parents loved.

Not my favourite CCR

Tighter than Bayou country and overall solid tracks with a groove. Bad Moon Rising is the standout. Probably not an album I’d buy, but I’ll listen to it again. A strong 3 stars.

Has one song we've all heard & the rest is just OK

This one felt kinda meh. Not bad, good singing, I just didn’t particularly ENJOY many of the songs. I’m open to listening again though. I’d give 2.5 if I could.

Green River was my first CCR record. After listening to them for some time now, I can safely say this is 3-4 on their discography for me. Perhaps it’s the hype they were getting by this point, but this feels so much more formulaic as a whole vs their first two albums that I love. I love darker and sludgy CCR. I could go a lifetime without ever hearing Lodi again. Please tell me we get their debut so I can redeem myself for 3 starring this.

Short album, only 29 minutes, but I could not tell you the story. This is what country music was like in the late 60's, way different than the Beatles. I enjoyed this closer to a 4 but its a 7 for me.

Way better than born on a bayou but struggles with a lot of the same issues. The call and response guitar is nice. Just sorta gets repetitive quickly and wrote a song for everyone is awful. Green River and bad moon are mega hits though so it balances. Not sure really what’s different but I am vibing with this one more and run time is just right so you don’t get too bored.

Easy to listen to, feel good, somewhat nostalgic

I liked it!!! Preferred the country stuff to the instrumental ones

fell off at the end, overall a good album with some good deepcuts

Very country to me, I can see the appeal but I'm not into it

Solid album

Certainly good, but just didn't do it for me. Does have 4 famous songs, but CCR not my fav

13/20 Des musiques entraînantes et très sympa Mais le son est un peu daté et peine a vraiment me toucher

Es ist kurzweilig, aber das Schema schon auch immer sehr ähnlich. In Summe inkl. der beiden Hits 3 Sterne.

Ach das macht schon Spaß, aber außergewöhnlich krass finde ich es jetzt auch nicht

I loved Bad Moon Rising when I was like 6 and I think it was because it was the first song on my mums ipod

I really enjoyed this

It's Creedence

there are a couple of songs I like but overall I've just never been a fan of their songs. lowest tier of the 3 stars

uh huh fortunate son is a good song but it’s not on this. bad moon rising is kinda overrated. would rather choose no.1 in heaven as the best album under 40 minutes 3.5/5

Good and consistent album, I will definitely put it again as background music. I didn't find a song that particularly stood out for me, but the album as a whole is enjoyable.

Good, but not something I see myself listening to frequently

A country blues album that sounds really good. The guitar play is really enticing to hear it gets you uppity and dancing which I really enjoy. The second half of the album definitely picks up for me, it has tracks that have a nice blend of good instrumental and catchy songwriting. Overall fun listen especially driving to it.

I love Fogertys voice and Bad Moon is a classic!

Country Rock aus den 60ern. Lässt sich angenehm hören. "Bad Moon Rising" ist eine bekannte Single. 3/5

Dead solid rock and roll. CCR just rocks

I consider myself a CCR “fan”, yet I’ve never actually listened to an album all the way through. I’m sure there are better ones than this.. hopefully. Overall I thought it was okay. Probably will never listen all the way through again though. 6.8/10

The bayou boys of San Mateo. The Green River lick is so tasty, but we lose all our momentum in the next two tracks. Pick it back up on Bad Moon Rising. Solid record, not perfect by any means.

As soon as the album started I imagined myself flying through the bayou on an airboat, dirty blonde hair flowing in the wind, yellow-tinted glasses, ripping a dart and cracking open a can of Old Milwaukee. The following few songs all blended together and felt a bit repetitive until "Bad Moon Rising" played. I was digging "Sinister Purpose" and "The Night Time is the Right Time" for a minute. Fine listen, but underwhelming.

I was already familiar with the band from their hit songs (Bad Moon Rising and Forunate Son), so I knew what to expect. I enjoyed the album, but other than a more distinctive "blues" sound, I didn't feel that this album was particularly unique or interesting compared to other rock albums from this era. My favourite songs were "Wrote a Song for Everyone" and "Lodi".

Pretty much anyone who likes CCR likes them more than I do. I get the appeal and I'm not going to object to anyone putting their CCR on but I'm rarely, if ever, going to be that guy. They've got their place. They sound good on a Vietnam-era soundtrack.

Good jamming album. Easy listening. Liked it.

Eh

3.5

Nothing really grabbed me. 7ish

is “i put a spell on you” from them??

Bad Moon Rising is iconic but this isn’t really my cup of tea overall

Sett på no!! Hadde ikke satt det på sjæl da, men er bra assa

3.5/5⭐️

i really liked this onee, didn't know that they created "i put a spell on you"

Good stuff !

Better than bayou country for sure

Much prefer their first album

The sound is what I would call "how most old rock songs sounds like", and the vibe of the cover matches it as well. It sounds generic, in a way, but maybe that is what some modern rock songs tries to re-create today. An inspiration idk. The guitar I liked the most, not so much for the vocalists, but he wasn't bad, just wasn't my taste I guess. Though, he did sound good singing slower songs and not screaming (screeching). I enjoyed listening to Tombstone Shadow, Sinister Purpose, and The Night Time is the Right Time. 2.5/5 (Jan. 16, 2026 - 7:03 PM)

Pretty good, I'd only ever heard or recognised the popular ones, but it was a solid album start to end.

Klassisk greit å høre på.

I wanted to listen to all the songs on the album. They weren't bad, but after the fourth of fifth song I got bored. The lyrics and the beats were pretty nice, but, to my mind, this album is an "only good when you're in a specific mood for listening" type of work. But I understand why people love it.

every time it's an album from the 60s it's a win for me

i rate everything 3 stars bc i have no personality xxx

Was not great, and it isn’t my genre really so yeah.

bra, men litt tamt mellom slagene

Lots of hits, knowing they're from Berklee kind of clashes with the very intimate southern and blues themes.

3 1/2

3.0

Maybe I'm just not a big big fan of this gonna fight the war, MERICA ass music, but yet I still would give this album 3 stars. Something neutral, as it's good to listen to for the first time and It has a nice vibe but that's about it. It's not the worst thing I've heard but it's also not the best. And unfortunately it does remind me too much of this time period of like war and love and peace. However, im glad it's consistent and the music is good.

This is my first experience with an album like this. Really solid intro track and set's the whole mood for the album. Good guitar work all throughout. The obvious stand out here is "Bad Moon Rising" which I'm sure that everyone has heard at least once in their life. Overall it's a decent album but nothing was really mindblowing here.

I listen to this album when I grill out in the summer. Its so familiar and comfortable.

It took me three listens to understand what was irking me about Green River. At first I thought in broad terms, the album is repetitive, and although it's a pretty good sound, it gets old even over its short runtime. Something about that conclusion didn't sit right with me though. It dawned on me while listening to Wrote a Song for Everyone the third time around: this album has zero dynamic variance. "What's the deal? There are millions of albums like that?". Well, Green River picks a spot and refuses to move like a spoiled kid getting told to go to their room. The energy of every song is identical; same tempo, same cadence, same dynamic. With how short the album is, this lack of variation almost works in its favor. Little variations on a classic groove to tell a short story over the span of an album could be an interesting concept. It just feels like there's something missing to tie everything together to fulfill that conceptual idea. Whether that be some sort of narrative or a general theme, maybe even a repeated motif to connect the songs in some meaningful way. I will say, there are a couple great tracks that stand very well on their own. Bad Moon Rising is obviously a classic and up there with the best CCR tracks, but I'd like to mention Lodi as well. Something about the passionate tenderness of Fogerty's voice on that song in particular hits me unlike any other track on this record. As a whole though, I can't say I have much interest in Green River as an album. I think the stagnant sound is expanded upon much better in CCR's following two records, and although there is something positive to be said about Green River, it falls a little flat for me overall.

The opening track is my favourite, Green River, it has great groove, gets stuck in your head, and isn’t overly complicated - feel there’s a lot to learn from that track. I hadn’t listened to much CCR, mainly due to the overplayed songs, but this album makes me think, maybe I should check out more.

Didn’t know Bad Moon Rising was on this album (or even the title of the song)

This is exactly what I'd expect from them, and is thoroughly servicable. No hidden depths here. Pleasant but unmemorable.

Leuk, niet helemaal mijn ding maar wel een paar leuke nummers tussen. Klinken allemaal net iets te veel hetzelfde maar zijn wel goed

It was a good album, but there's something about the CCR style that just sounds so dated. But this album didn't really feel like it had much of their political or anti-war themed. I enjoyed listening to it, but I probably won't go back to it.

Eh, it was fine. I think this style of music just isn't my thing so it's hard to rate higher than a three.

The performances are tight and it's very emblematic of Creedence's bluesy southern rock sound. I have to admit that CCR has always been a "they're alright" band for me. With few exceptions I just can't really get into them. I can appreciate this album, but I have to admit it isn't my thing.

I liked it. Good sound.

Great storytelling and use of guitar as a motivator

I like ccr, i don’t remember listening so ill give it a 3 cuz it couldn’t have been too bad but wasn’t crazy. I can vibe to any of their hits, so if one of those was on here the i fw that.

högt å lågt

Svårbedömt som alltid. Deras hits är verkligen hits av en anledning, men resten är bland det mindre intressanta jag hört.

Bra, men kanske lite enformigt?

My first review of 2026, it's a good album.

Good classic I haven't heard in a while. Always enjoyed CCR

very typical 60s rock album good vibes but nothing crazy or standout

A classic CCR album. They have other albums just as good if not better.

It's OK. Bad Moon Rising is great and the rest is filler for the most part.

Not bad but I think a lot of CCR sounds the exact same. In isolation their sound is nice, but a whole album starts to get old.

It's nice enough, but it just plods along. It's just, there.

It was well made, but I found it very repetitive.

vähän 50-50 meneekö neloseen vai kolmoseen, mutta annetaan nyt tänään kolmonen ja pantataan nelosta. Melkosen mukavaa meininkiä ja iskärokkia, mutta muistaakseni CCR:llä myös parempia levyjä jotka tullee myöhemmin vastaan tässäkin generaattorissa

Tässäkin kyllä huokuu melkolailla boomerismi. Ihan silti kivaa kitaran rämpyttelyä ja varmaan ollut "melkosta musaa" 60-luvulla. Pannaan nyt vaikka kolkki sitten

Tämmöstä ihan lepposaa musisointiahan tää on, mutta ei oo kyllä mitään minkä takia kuuntelis uudestaan.

Ei tää nyt koskaan mitään suurta suosikkia oo ollut. Vähän väsynyttä blues/kantri hybristä. Todennäkösesti näitä on tiedossa kaikki maholliset julkasut listauksessa. Joten kun nyt ei viel ärsyttänyt tarpeeks vinkunalaulu niin ollaan armeliaita. Ehkä kun ikä karttuu niin rupee narina ja vingutuskin maittaan enempi.

Standard 60s rock, nothing too special but good to have on in the background

Funky, gezellig, brengt je in n goede mood

Definitely giving bing bong we listen to Black folk music and we gone rip it off, it's ok 8/10.

liked it better than i thought i would at the first song. might listen again

CCR is a band that I have never appreciated quite at the level of their critical reception. This record is solid - several memorable if overplayed hits surrounded by well executed if pedestrian swampy blues rock. Not my cup of tea, but entirely listenable.

liked the vibe reminded me of the band america

Was really nice, not a big fan of country

liked it, but didn't drive me crazy.

It was good I guess. Didn't really grab me - sounded a bit country, a bit standard rock. It was short though.

Not the first CCR I heard - that was probably Cosmo’s Factory by way of “Who’ll Stop the Rain” - but the first for this list. I briefly lived just down the street from where CCR grew up, probably got my groceries at the same place, or whatever replaced where their moms shopped, etc. So with that in mind, it’s always been a bit mind-blowing that a bunch of kids from the East Bay created a sound this believable, “authentic” even. Fogerty himself and the history of the band makes it tough to fall in love with CCR, but I am super long on admiration for what he accomplished in such a small period of time. I could say this for any CCR album: Chronicle is probably the best CCR experience as the singles really are THAT strong, whereas the album cuts are...fine.

Not really my thing but also not terrible

Some solid bangers on this album, didn’t quite tickle my brain.

Middle of the road

Inconsistent mixing; vox dull and distant in some but clear and upfront in standouts like bad moon rising

Honest R&B, a few nice songs (my favourite is the title track), but honestly there is nothing really memorable here...

it was fine. i listened to their first two albums prior to this, and Green River _did_ feel notably more engaging than the other two, but I don't know if my perception was pre biased by the fact that this album was the one for 1001 and not the other two. all three of them were around a 3, this one might be the best but still not good enough to rate up. Bad Moon Rising is fun tho.

CCR! What fun. Looking over the album, not as many of the big hits on this one, but that could be for the best. No listening notes (both listens while I was driving), but some observations: -These tracks are less the peak CCR stuff and more just a chill time. -Basically no better driving music than CCR -Lodi was awesome--there's a new CCR song that I liked -Other than that, Bad Moon Rising is obviously huge, but I feel like this is a collection of tracks that are nice and pleasant without ever really being a lot more. Review: I'm a solid 3.5 here. I'd definitely come back to the album, but its overshadowed by their more memorable tracks. CCR is always going to be great for porch sitting, medium length drives, etc., but I don't think they've done much *more* than that here. Rounding down.

Hits sind Hits, Filler ist Filler. Needs more cowbells

V/rv

Kantry spoko

Appreciate the real instruments, though the songs are old, they feel relevant in today's times. As first time listening through, it was refreshing music. pretty sure I won't listen to again.

2.5/5 - clear moon rising is a banger but the rest of the album is a bit all over the place

Album is fine, nothing bad but not much that's my favourite. Bad Moon Rising is fantastic of course, which gets the album a 3*.

It’s not their fault the local dads started a covers band and play the same six songs every time anyone wants to hang out.

i enjoyed this for what it was! not super wowed by it, but thought it was an overall nice listen.

Seems like something I’d like more than I actually do in practice.

Classic rock, short album, mix of good with OK.

prošlom ccr albumu (cosmo's factory) dao sam strogo trojku, ovaj je lošiji i kad razmislim mogao sam fabrici komotno dati četvorku . al neću za dizanje prosjeka ovaj precijeniti, nije baš za četiri, premda je sasvim solidan i bolji od dosta trojki koje sam drugima dao

Im giving this a lower score only because this is my dads favorite band/album and Ive heard it way too many times. Its not a dig at the band and the music. I just cant understand why old white dudes enjoy this music so much.

Ok, but just ok.

Not sure this is a necessary Credence album. I would have picked any of the others from the first four years, and Bayou Country as the hidden gem. Green River is a good song, tho!

Stick to the greatest hits.

6/10

This has some fun tunes to listen. I think I'd enjoy this more if this wasn't loved by my uncles and a lot of boomers I know to the point I already listened to more than half of the album indirectly, it just sounds like boomer music to my brain idk

Solid album, but at some point for me the songs really start to all sound the same.

Hard to believe this was the second of three CCR albums released in '69. I think this is the best of that bunch with shorter tracks and Fogerty at a creative peak. Bad Moon Rising was a hit single here in the UK too.

Classic rock classic

The cover photo would suggest that one member was a bigger deal than the rest of the band. Hope that doesn’t create any tension between bandmates at any point moving from this point.

This is a first listen for me, despite being nearly as old as the album! I knew Bad Moon Rising, so was fascinating to hear it in the context of the album (often is). I enjoyed it...it's got a swampy, gritty edge to it. Having said that it feels quite a lot like loads of different versions of Bad Moon Rising at times. Bit samey in one go maybe? 3 - will return to it. Suspect repeated listening may increase the score. Can see why it's on this list.

Oooooooooh, it's that song. They made that?

Meh. Ok.

it never quite clicked for me. some nice melodies but it all blurred into one

Decent but only 1 of the 6 songs I know by them is on this album.

That's alright, some good songs, some very repetitive not all that creative ones. Enjoyed it but wasn't wowed

The very definition of classic bluesy American southern rock. Feels good.

Not my favorite CCR album, but it does have some hits. CCR is one of my loved classic rock bands.

Not bad! But probably wouldn't listen again.

i can see the appeal but it doesnt really speak to me i guess

I expected to like this more than I did. Still pretty cool.

Old american pop. Not bad!

Standouts Storms Sisters of the Moon Tusk

Listening to this album in full reinforces what I'd always felt about CCR. They're a singles band. The rest of the album serves as filler for the two or three great cuts. Shrug...

Catchy, good mix of blusey and country, great songs to write parodies from

doesn't hit the same as their first album which is peak and not on this list for some insane reason

No frills classic rock. Very "American", all around good album by a fairly iconic band.

That's a solid 3 out of 5 if I've ever heard one

It’s ok with a couple of decent tracks but can’t justify higher than a 3.

A bit short and a bit samey … but otherwise perfectly average OK album

Seems like CCR really has a handle on blues rock. Very consistent.

Was ok

Never going to be my favorite band, but this was an enjoyable listen.

Rock solid, love CCR my el sobrante bros. A bit short, sweet and to the point.

Same sound on every song- I like the sound don’t get me wrong. But every do g this band out out was just created to later be used in a montage of the Vietnam war/late 60s. I also kinda was to punch Fogertys all American cockiness.

Very cool. Would listen again.

classic CCR, still as good as today.

I am enjoying the variety of the songs on this album, it doesn't feel as if there is a generic theme to the album, which I am enjoying.

Another creedence… another good album. Maybe deserves 4 but lacks the big hitters other albums of theirs have.

yeah that’s definitely a late 60’s rock 3.5

Light 3,5

3.5/5

Vibigt! CCR är.ju ett singelband, så som album är inte detta toppen, men alla låtar är bra och John Fogerty är ju en otrolig sångare

good old fashion southern/folk rock and roll

Gute Musik, fast vier sterne

Enjoyed more than I expected to

Solid if uninspiring just like all CCR.

Nice to listen to

Definitely got some great tracks, but this was the groups third album and they didn’t switch it up at all. Kind of clip-farming in a way, it’s good but short and simple and so i’m lowkey feeling a 3. Ima be basic my favorite tracks were green river and bad moon rising

This was cool, I don't think I need to hear it again, but I enjoyed the experience

Heard these tunes a million times, but damn, most are still pretty good.

Pas mauvais, il y a un peu de blues là-dedans, mais encore beaucoup (trop) de southern rock. Malgré tout, il y a une belle énergie qui se dégage de ces enregistrements.

fav: - wrote a song for everyone - lodi

Undeniably tight and well-made songs but do not make me feel. I think genre problem for rockabilly. Great voice and instrumentation

Very good

3.5 actually
