Reviews (page 13 of 14)

It was pretty good, a little country for my taste, but it was pretty nice to listen to regardless.

It was good, but not really my thing.

Pleasant, functional, American rock'n'roll album. Not massively interesting, but enjoyable.

5/10. I just couldn't get into this much, felt a bit dull, and dragged on a while.

Spendiere ne Runde Freibier für die Jungs und reich gern den Hut für Spritgeld rum. 3.2

Da grooven und stompen sie durchs Bild, die vietnamzerzausten Seelen mit ihrem Willen, sich nicht unterkriegen zu lassen und dem System mal ordentlich den Blues zu honkytonken. Ich bin kein ausgewiesener Fan von Fogertys Stimme und zum wirklich tiefen Einarbeiten über die Hits hinaus lädt mich dieses Album auch noch nicht ein. Trotzdem: wenn sie mich beim Trampen mitnimmt steig ich da gern ein, dreh die Kappe nach hinten und nehm erstmal nen tiefen Schluck.

A little to twangy for me, but still not bad!

I love CCR but think I've been conditioned to like their compilations... The hits are the hits and the songs that didn't make the Best Of's over the years are a little dull/repetitive. Still, Bad Moon Rising, Night Time is the Right Time, and Sinister Purpose are bangers. 3.5.

Perfectly functional classic rock / folk rock. Listened to it twice and most of it didn't leave that much of an impression. Fave track - "Bad Moon Rising" for being the most identifiable one!

CCR really grates on me, but there's no doubt it is solid and Wrote a Song was a cool surprise I didn't know. Still, John Fogerty's too drawlish voice isn't my thing, down 1 star.

Yeah, so guitars and cat voices. Wasn’t *bad*.

not bad

Classic Creedence!

Great album to listen driving to the beach, but is not a band I can listen every day.

Love these boys. This one however, not so much.

Calm, very 1960's. Wouldn't personally listen to again

I liked it better than Janelle Monea but it's not something i would happily listen to on repeat. Good guitar riffs

Bad moon rising is excellent

CCR toimii meikäläiselle jostain syystä aina!

Tuttua peruskauraa

Swap rock country blues.... exactly how you imagine; no surprises

Boring and uninspired. At least it's short.

Far more country than I was expecting. That's on me, though.

- John Fogerty's a Zio, so yet another band to boycott. - Not unpleasant, but the songs don't really evolve much - feels like, for the most part, each song is one simple idea without much in the way of a chorus. - I know they have catchy songs, but they aren't on this album (other than Bad Moon Rising). This just feels like your typical simple country blues rock. Agree with the review that calls it tired and cliche. The instrumentals are pretty basic most of the time, too, though there is occasionally some nice guitar. - The strained, top back throat vocals get irritating pretty quickly, especially since the lyrics aren't very interesting. - I like that the album is short...

It’s fine. Nothing really stuck though

I had heard of this band before and the album has some sweet and strong vibes... "Bad Moon Rising" is a classic.

I like CCR, but this has too many bummers. And only 30 mins! Including a crap cover!

ok but boring for me

many 70s vibes, not bad

This just gets into a 2 star for me but it’s not one I would go back to

Nothing spectacular, just straight up rock and roll. It was a pleasant listen, but I don’t recall any of the songs I heard one day later. On a basis of feeling a little unremarkable compared to other albums I’ve listened to, I’m giving it a little bit of a lower rating. Hoping other rock and roll will be included on this list and I’ll be able to defend my enjoyment of the genre then 8/1001

i like that it wasn't long, bc it's not my vibe.

Not my exact music taste. Music I feel like my bf would enjoy. Liked the 4th song, Wrote A Song For Everyone, it reminded me of him and felt like a trip in the American woods. The whole album lowkey did, but this one felt special. A strong 2! Not bad, just mostly not my usual taste.

They’re more similar to the rolling stones and led zeppelin that i thought. Really a mediocre album outside of bad moon rising

1. green - 2 2. comottion - 2 3. zhadouu - 1 4. zong - 1 5. moon - 3 6. lodi - 2 7. crozz - 2 8. zinizter - 2 9. night - 1 10. zhuffle -2 11. glory - 2

lwk I don’t really like cus it’s so slow

good album, just not my taste usually

some ok songs, stilll nothing i will listen to myself, not my style

Nice and short but does not start well, the slower tracks are better, less monotonous. Just not liking it. 2.5 rounded down great to release 3 mid albums in one year. Heard before? Some Owned: Yes, 87/333 (26%) Will I get: No

Good album. This is the one to recommend to someone who has heard of CCR, but never heard a song by them.

No me lo acuerdo mucho pero creo q era un album de folk genérico

I sprouted some chin hears and lost a tooth while I listened to this. 2.5

1. Gitt chli beatles und rolling stones vibe 2. Isch okay aber nöd so mis 3. Mega kurzi lieder (guet) 4. Chan guet si wenn mer im mood isch aber es macht nöd e eigeni stimmig so wie anderi albe, nöd besonders gueti lune, trurig, nachdenklich, ruhig 5.

Such an iconic band, so much talent. Fav song is ‘Bad Moon Rising’.

Brother I gave Maverick A Strike a 4 what the fuck do you mean 2????? However, this is a 2. And a boring 2 at that.

I don't like country

Bancamos a CCR, muy bueno todo, pero no lo logro, me aburre. Es música de ruta, y ni siquiera es lo que yo escucharía en la ruta. Simplemente no es lo mío. No es cuestión de calidad igual.

green river: 4/10 commotion: 3/10 tombstone shadow: 5/10 wrote a song for everyone: 6/10 bad moon rising: 5/10 lodi: 6/10 cross-tie walker: 5/10 sinister purpose: 5.5/10 the night time is the right time: 5/10 kinda sucks

Pretty much in line with what you expect by seeing the album cover. In no way was it terrible, just not really for me.

"sinister purpose" is okay. 2.5

CCR is not my cup of tea.

2.5/5 Best Song: Bad Moon Rising Worst Song: Tombstone Shadow Weirdest Song: N/a Honorable Mention: Lodi Creedence is pretty straight forward Southern rock. A few catchy tunes but nothing that really stands out apart from the classics. Lots of repetitive guitar licks.

Hört sich nicht schlimm an, aber sehr monoton vom vibe, und überhaupt nicht mein genre. ich glaube nicht, dass ein song es in meine playlist schafft. 18052026

It turned out i am not really big fan of classic rock-and-roll I guess

álbum de pai e outros caras velhos talvez divorciados que frequentam pub, não é meu tipo de música mas tem algumas legais

Bad moon rising five stars.

sick. never heard a full album from this band. this isnt doing much for me. sad

Ei mee mihinkään

Green River - Good Commotion - Decent Tombstone Shadow - Decent Wrote a Song For Everyone - Decent Bad Moon Rising - Good Lodi - Decent Cross-Tie Walker - Good Sinister Purpose - Stylish The Night Time is The Right Time - Decent Broken Spoke Shuffle - Decent Glory Be - Decent

Classic CCR Album, wish there were more bangers, somehow got me in the mood to listen to Ska-Punk music so that was weird

Eh. I dig CCR for what they are. But this is middle of the road, playing it safe rock.

This just isn’t really my thing..

Lo escuché mientras maqueteaba

It’s all fairly enjoyable standard fair, but then you hit ‘Bad Moon Rising’ which is an undeniable classic.

“Bad Moon Rising” is objectively a great song - the rest of this was just standard fare. Nothing necessarily wrong with it, just not that exciting.

No me gusta Creedence, asi que 2 por las dudas

album un po' vecchio, quasi country direi. chitarre molto presenti e tra tutte le canzoni sono poche riescono a spiccare nonostante siano tutte valide, ma non è quello che cerco

I found this album very boring

Ok not my fav

No sorry

chillig

Totally Blues, roots rock, now honestly sound old, for sure was an incredible success

il country mi fa cagare

mega skippable background music

Pretty sure they just played the same song 9 times in a row.

Nothing wrong with this. It’s exactly as you’d expect it, and anything else would be disappointing. Another band that has bypassed me completely over the years, but this did nothing for me to regret that. I only knew Bad Moon Rising on here. Great for what it is, but highly unlikely I’ll revisit it or feel the urge to hear CCR again.

Not a fan, but there were a couple songs that had my head boppin

Ccr are legends but I’ve been inoculated to this style of country to put this album among my favorites

Good but I'm sick of the bayou boss

good option for road trip!

sss. ts ok

A real nothingburger. Not for me.

Added "Sinister Purpose" to THE playlist. Love the country guitar with it's riffs and solos. Based on "Bad Moon Rising" I thought I would like their music more than I did.

Nice to remember some of the d tubes I like the rock in the first few songs more than the more popular ones

Entiendo pq le gusta a los papás y abuelos, pero no me gustó tee-hee.

Didn't get into it as much as cosmos's factory. No song really stood out.

Buen driving music.

I hate to give them a low rating, but the album didn’t grab me

A little more than a week since I was last subjected to CCR; I wasn't ready for another round. Not my thing, although I didn't object to it as much as the last one.

Sympa en fond mais pas marquant, est-ce que c'est de la country ?

Just fine. Kind of boring.

Not as bad as I thought it would be. It would be a 3 if it weren’t for those awful vocals

Decent 2. This just isn’t for me. I think there’s better stuff out there that has a similar sound. I’m not connected to this at all and didn’t really have any song I liked. I really don’t like the vocals either. I can appreciate the musical ability and talent so that’s why I’m giving it a 2 instead of a 1, but even so, it’s just not my thing.

Some greats, some I'd forgotten about, some eh

"bayou country" by them is much better for me. here, they used the same formula for almost all the songs, and at some point it started to annoy me :Þ the fav one: sinister purpose (3.75/5)

Just a bit bored by this

too country

Good guitar work and vocals, but through modern ears it mostly sounds like a generic classic rock/blues album - cheesy in places, a bit samey, and nothing really stands out. I get that records like this helped create that sound, though. For the record, I’ve never liked Bad Moon Rising.

Not the credence I know.

Heard Before? Yup, but never deliberately. Notes: - the best thing about any CCR album is the short songs and brief total runtime. - clear, dry recordings with a fantastic bass sound. - vocals are as distinctive as ever, powerfully emotive even when the lyrics are awkward or pointless. - rural sounds for city boys. nostalgia porn set to a jumpin' rhythm section. Verdict: Tight, energetic and occasionally fun. I just have a hard time understanding what these overplayed songs have to offer to anyone who's not stuck in 1969. Listen Again? I won't run away screaming if I hear it in the background somewhere.

Just felt a bit bored by this, didn’t do much interesting. Washed over me without much impact and wouldn’t listen again.

I've never been the BIGGEST fan of country so this album doesn't really stand out to me that much. The instruments and overall production are great, but I just have a personal preference regarding the sound genre itself. It's nice to have this playing in the background though, and I really enjoy the slight rock influence.

Bad Mood Rising is a classic for good reason, but otherwise the album was boring.

Listening to this album takes me back to those sun-soaked summer nights of my teenage years. I can almost see myself perched on a worn plastic chair, gazing at the swirling disco lights illuminating the dance floor of the holiday park. It's a vivid memory, filled with older folks swaying to their beloved 'classics,' their laughter echoing around me. The album evokes fond moments, yet it also stirs a sense of disconnection. The simple melodies and nostalgic vocals whisk me away, but I often find myself yearning for something deeper. I remember retreating to my CD Walkman, searching for a sound that felt more like home. Even today, as I listen, that feeling remains—a bittersweet mix of joy and longing.

All around meh. A few hitters but most was in one ear and out the other.

Already rated one of their albums and this one is slightly better than the previous one but the hits have been overplayed on every radio station for years and the rest of it is just background music for me so it kinda leaves me cold

I can appreciate this band and their influence on the music scene altogether but.... i guess this album is just not my cup of tea

it's the one with bad moon rising on it

I’m sorry to say this type of music just does not really excite me and so I couldn’t even really pick out any notable moments. On the plus side the album was quite short

short and uninteresting

The 60s equivalent of Status Quo

Way too much folk for my liking

Aivan liian hevosjazzia

1: Lodi 2: Wrote a Song for Everyone 3: Bad Moon Rising

all a bit repetitive for me..but didn’t realise they sang bad moon rising! favs: bad moon rising, the night time is the right time

Good but wasn't in the headspace to listen properly

not a bad listen but it sorta feels more like background music you’d hear in a texan pub. a bit forgettable

Not my style, found it boring

??? mhhh early rock -> "I Heard It Through The Grapevine"?? c

Enjoyed Green River and Bad Moon Rising, but no other standouts. Agreeable background listening but not the most interesting.

In my opinion it feels like old junk

I just don’t like blues that much 🤷‍♂️

not bad, not my thing. Background music 2/5

not bad but not for me. December 17, 2025.

listened to 6/9 songs, it was fun

not a fan of tombstone shadow

Not too many times you hear 2 lead guitars play the same note 32 times in a row. Not their strongest.

Quite a let down here. This just doesn't have the excitement I would expect from similarly labeled music from this time period.

What a let down. The album immediately preceding this, from the same year, had such a great initial connection with me that I was honestly expecting to at least appreciate this one. Near the end of the original tracklist we see some greater musical investments, which doesn't make the strong dose of Americana at the beginning any easier for me to consume. I suppose it's not bad Americana by any standards, but doesn't have enough spark to pull me towards it, as a non consumer of country related sounds. 2/5

I know the end is coming soon.

awoooooooo

Creedence time - bring on the Bad Moon Rising! I'm surprised to see how many songs come in under the 3 minute mark Nice to hear the album all the way through, but a greatest hits collection is really all I need, and the other album tracks are just not my bag

A classic single, but the rest of the album while pleasant, easy-listening is not memorable for me. Probably better as a live act.

I knew Bad Moon Rising. I don’t like John Fogerty’s voice. It was nice and short though.

only downloaded bad moon rising, was good but didn’t enjoy it as much as i thought i might

Det går inte att lyssna på en hel Creedence-platta utan att bli uttråkad. En tvåa

Didn't excite me at all. Plodded along just fine though. Tricky gig coming up in this project when the Rosalia album is imminent.

inte jätte förtjust i stilen, dessutom ganska intetsägande :|

Another 2

No thanks

Bad Moon Rising is one of the wackest songs ever and that is a hill I am prepared to die on. Rest of the album was okay

Note my kind of music at all

I dunno, this album didn't really hit for me. Bad Moon Rising has over a billion listens on Spotify, but it just felt bland to me. They call it rock, or Swamp Rock, but it just feels more like country to me. I can see this album being a reflection of everyday life back in the 60's/70's and I can hear it, but it just doesn't hit. They had 3 albums in 1969. That's a bit much. They have a solid sound so it's not hard to imagine being able to churn out music, but it all just feels so safe. They found their comfort zone and they just kinda sit there. Might come across as blasphemy, but it feels like CCR is the old version of Coldplay or Imagine Dragons. Very vanilla, very solid bands that play to their strengths and produce great music, but don't expect any surprises. It's no wonder so many people still love them after so many years: because they're safe and familiar. Feels like i'm being overly harsh, but when I hear about people's love for CCR, I expect a bit more. So safe. No risks. Just easy strumming. Pretty sure someone with no guitar experience could learn any CCR song in a day.

The kind of music I like to watch live but don’t appreciate otherwise. Just not my thing. 2/5

not my thing

Listened at work

I appreciate this, but it was just a bit to hokey for me.

Nothing memorable here, but it nicely jugs along I guess?

Återigen får man ifrågasätta valet av album. Nog är både "Cosmos factory" och "Willie and the poor boys" bättre album? Men CCR är kött- och potatisrock och som sådan är det ju svårt att nå några större höjder. "Lodi" är en jättebra låt, "Bad moon..." och titelspåret funkar också. Men det kan aldrig bli mer än möjligtvis bra, det ligger liksom i kött- och potatisrockens natur. En stabil tvåa

Titelspåret är helt ok träskblues. Sen trampas det mest vatten. Blir mer dansband än country med soul, tyvärr. Är det Björn Skifs som körar på avslutningsspåret?

As with all CCR, lots of filler interspersed with lots of bangers. The fillers here really interrupt the string of bangers.

I can’t particularly pinpoint why I didn’t enjoy this, but I just didnt

4/10 - I don't know, just seems overrated, one song had over a billion listens! but nothing special at all, just ok

I guess I'm overly familiar with CCR. If any of it were to come on the radio, I would change the channel.

Creedence Clearwater Revival are one of the most classic, all-American bands ever. They definitely do not sound like any of their blues-y peers from either side of the Atlantic. They are also, however, incredibly boring. Clearly an American specific sound, because it doesn't translate over here at all. Key tracks: Green River Bad Moon Rising

This is my second Creedence album and I have to admit a bit of a disconnect. There are moments when I can really see what others see in Clearwater: Green Water, Bad Moon Rising and Lodi all have a bit of pop appeal embedded into its sound which rounds out the songs nicely, but elsewhere Revival’s songs are lacking an X factor for me.

Enjoyable southern blues rock, no real standouts for me. I suspect their other albums of the era probably had more to offer, this one was made so quickly after the last one... Still, perfectly fine, inoffensive music if a bit samey. I can see a lot of the influence this music has had on later artists.

Feels too produced and homogenised for me (but thst could be the remastering). Prefer the genre called swamp rock to be much dirtier sounding.

Absolutely safe, predictable, nothing-affirming, nothing-challenging Wurlitzer rock. Yawn.

Another Americana folk rock album. Strong melodies, but still kinda boring. 'Bad Moon Rising' is on this which has become a song heavily used in advertising. Sounds like a joke song in 2025.

this would go crazy if i were a white boomer

Dad rock derogatory

Great musicianship, but classic rock n' roll just ain't for me. Favourite tracks: Bad Moon Rising.

Not really my thing

Good quality rock and roll, but lacking inspiration. This album feels too simplistic for its time, and is outclassed by other rock groups. 2-2.5 stars

Not my thing

Fine but dull. As is often the case with this era and genre

1969 A bit twangy for my tastes. It's OK, not my thing, but I get it. I'm not upset by it, and 'Bad Moon Rising' is a tune, although being scarred by endless pub covers bands trying their best to emulate CCR's sound has left me not really needing to hear this again. Heard before ❌️ Listened this time ✅️ Revisit ❌️ Just OK ★★☆☆☆

Quite a interesting album, it's a very old type of rock. A pleasant listening but definitely not on my favorite list 2/5

Not my favorite, probably wouldn’t listen to again. Had a few okay songs, but just not really into this style.

If you grew up in the US, this album is probably deeply ingrained in you. You probably heard it at BBQs, heard cover bands do CCR songs at the local country fair, and tapped your foot whenever the songs came on the radio. But I'm not from the US and this album doesn't resonate with me at all. And, if I'm being honest, it feels weird to listen to four white guys playing blues-rock.

2 stars CCR was prolific in a short period of time. They created a lot of great music. But their albums front to back were not consistently great. They have filler. So despite having great tracks, this is an example of a lot of forgettable filler surrounding some good singles.

According to Lily Allen, this is God's favourite band Also.. Not my cup of squash

I feel like the sound wasn't too bad, but I listened to the album twice and no matter how hard I tried I would just zone out

☀︎je me sens comme si j’étais dans le far west ☀︎j’ai l’impression que les chansons manquent toutes un peu de quelque chose

not super memorable

Monotonous and uninteresting. The vocal sounded like he recorded it straining on the toilet. Once I had that picture in my mind I couldn't get it out. Neither could he it seems. Even the song I knew fromm my youth - Bad Moon Rising - sounds a bit crap now. Debating whether to give it a second listen. And even Outkast got that. It wasn't as absolute shit as Outkast though so it's probably a 2.

Ok folk/rock - the whole album was a lot, maybe better in small doses

This was a tough listen. It just felt tired and boring and kept dragging on despite being only 45 minutes long.

Couldn’t really get into this one. Swampy!

Me es totalmente indiferente

an ocean of annoying country with some pearls of smooth rock

I like Cosmo's Factory a lot but this was boring. Not bad at all, just totally fine.

One of these reminded me of that episode of The Simpsons where they go to the worlds fair, but that was the best bit.

Old white guy music not in a fun Creed way

I get it, they did that one song about Vietnam. I can see maybe one Creedence album on this list, but just cause 2 albums have 1 song worthwhile each doesn't make them both a 'must-listen'

big meh. one good song with bad moon rising

Tombstone Shadow sounds like a song that would play during a scene in a 60s/70s period piece where the characters are naked or doing drugs and I’m watching the movie with my parents and we’re all uncomfortable. Also, I like how the lead singer sounds like an elderly muppet

Getting a bit over all of the classic rock albums from the 70's. This was fine but the variety is lacking.

This was fine, I guess. I’ve never been a huge CCR fan, but I can appreciate how different they were at the time and why people liked them so much.

This is in keeping with the other CCR albums I've heard: yes, there are some nice songs (in this case I prefer Wrote A Song For Everyone and Sinister Purpose to the more popular Bad Moon Rising and Green River, which don't do much for me), but there's a lot of quite ordinary sounding country rock 'n' roll too. 2.5

Has bad moon rising otherwise just fine

2 sterne

It's allright.

Meh. Just bad moon rising

The best part of every CCR song is the tambourine and it's hardly on this insanely bloated (for being so short) album. Title track goes so hard though

It's not bad for a 60's rock record. I couldn't work out what their singer was saying in a couple of songs. No way was he singing 'Wrote a song for Everyone' in that chorus. But in the whole it passed half an hour pleasantly enough.

Really country and old sound. Most of the songs so far are lost on me. It goes from one ear to the other. Wrote a song for everyone has a good instrumental.

Not my taste in music...

It's good, but their greatest hits compilation collects the best stuff on here. C

I mean it's okay? But lacks even one song that stands out. Just totally didn't resonate with me

good, pleasant to hear, but again, just for the background. I can't enjoy so much music of this kind, classic rock, because all the songs sounds very similar and I'm getting bored fast

I can appreciate its history, but it's not my taste. Sinister Purpose is quite good.

I thought I would like this more than I did. I do know and like some CCR songs, and I understand the whole roots philosophy, but this album just didn't do it for me. I found the instrumentation to be bland. I didn't find the lyrics to be particularly interesting, foreboding as they were. Fav tracks: Wrote a Song for Everyone, Bad Moon Rising

undeniably groovy but somehow a slog to get through at only 29 minutes. title track is an easy standout pick but unfortunately its all downhill from there. "wrote a song for everyone" reminded me of jets "get born" which i thought was interesting.

I was pretty excited about a CCR album, but aside from "Bad Moon..." which is still great, I just didn't vibe. Surprisingly meh for a band I tend to enjoy.

It’s fine. Overall, it’s too loud and too country for my taste. It’s the kind of music that’s playing at a bar you don’t want to be in. Can’t get into it. 2/5

In a nutshell: cut-copy-paste swamp rock CCR is already on the back foot because of oversaturation. They would be fantastic live in a dingy blues bar seeking respite from the humidity. That live bar band vibe carries through to the studio recording. I do not like John's voice at all. Fake accent, one trick vocals. There are occasional nice guitar solos, I can see them from a mile away though. Many songs feel similar to me too. Formulaic. It's not necessary to have one or two covers on each album either, guys (eyeroll). Sticking to their lane served them well. IMHO, the band should have merged the tracks from Green River and Bayou Country then cut the fat to make a single LP. Overall: 4/10

Je connais, pour les avoir joué, Bad moon Rising et Lodi. C’est la première fois que j’écoute un album complet, mais je n’ai pas accroché sur les autres morceaux. =>2/5

I often think CCR are overrated, but it's hard to deny how tight they were. I still don't love Fogerty's affectation (no one from the Bay Area ever sounded like that without laying it on thick), but rock and roll is strong with these boys, that's for sure. Unfortunately, to me they sound somewhere between Lynyrd Skynyrd and The Doors (better versions of the two), neither of which are a compliment. It's a hell of a 29 minutes though, even if I don't fully enjoy their sound. "Wrote a Song For Everyone" sounds a bit like The Band, and I wish more of this sounded like that. That cover at the end is a big thumbs down though.

Vieux rock 2 bon sons

Another CCR that doesn't add anything different. Zero score, they are good but not worth three albums on this list. Thankfully it's short. OK it's good but it's just the same CCR song over and over again just like the other two albums. Like I said before this list is just making me mad.

Goddamn, this was dire as fuck.

Typiskt one-hit-wonder band Bästa låt: Tombstone Shadow

Helt okej album fastnade inte direkt men inte alls dåligt Bästa låt: Sinister Purpose

I enjoyed elements of this but it didn’t really hook me in. 5/10

it’s okay - none of the songs REALLY stood out to me and the album didn’t go anywhere really but I liked commotion the most album cover is sick as tho icl

Thankfully the last, and most tolerable, of the CCR albums on this list. There are even a couple of decent tracks ("Bad Moon..." and "Sinister Purpose").

Alotta classic songs on here. But I can really only handle so much of John Fogertys voice

Green River, Bad Moon Rising, Lodi are all classics and even the filler songs here are decent quality electrified country-folk-rock. I get why decades later some kid somewhere adopts CCR as a listen to this day even though they're not always for me.

Hillbilly-Bayou-Rock Et par gine numre hist og her. Men overordnet er der for meget bonderøv over det. Hittet “Bad Moon Rising” virker undervældende i dag. Jeg huskede det bedre.

Faux hoe downs that all start to sound the same.

I respect their craft but not my favorite type of music.

What I expected

Bad Moon Rising is great, the rest of this album did not age well.

It was okay, a bit too country for me

While it did have some bright spots in terms of tracks (oh hey there 'Bad Moon Rising (I don't care how overplayed it is, it's still a great song)) but overall, the consistent muddy guitars and generally monotonous singing tone left the album as a whole feeling bland. 2/5

Nothing about this is really grabbing me. it seems fairly plain and just drags along. this is just not my swag at all Lodi, sinister purpose, glory be were some highlights but i dont think id go back to any of them either

Ok I guess. The only song I liked was Sinister Purpose, the vocals there sounded different from the rest, much more listenable

would have to pay me to care about a single song on this album

When I hear CCR I always think of dad. I think there is only one CCR song that he played frequently. I went into this hoping I would love it but it didnt really spark anything for me. Oddly enough my favorite song was Glory Be, where there was no singing. Maybe I dont like the singer? Not sure. 2.5 stars

iwie extrem nervig

fun listen, not something i'd necessarily listen again but i didn't get bored and didn't feel like i couldn't wait for the end.

Ffs more hippie stuff

I didn't really enjoy this? Which is strange, because they do things that I generally enjoy, and they're leaning into a style that I also usually enjoy. I think just most of the album falls flat for me.

"wrote a song for everyone" very HIMYM vibes

boooooring

i didn't really never liked it

Dad Rock supreme. I guess it's like Grandpa Rock now. I mean it's fine. I've kind of always hated the Bayou/Southern Rock as a genre. And from a band from San Francisco no less. A lot of people love it, and that's fine, but it's just not something I care for. I listened to the whole album and didn't even add any songs to my Liked playlist on Spotify which is super rare for me. None of the songs on this record are bad, I guess, just not something I would be upset to not hear again. 2.5 stars because I do appreciate the instrumentation and musicianship, it's just not for me.

Bravi, famosi, autori di almeno 3 canzoni storiche, ma non mi piacciono

See Review: #290 To add to that: I also don't like John Fogherty's voice. Their whole sound and vibe I used to like but I feel as though I've outgrown it. 2.5 because sequels are always worse.

It ok but kinda mid overall

Definitely not a bad album, is entertaining enough. However there's nothing that really grabs me personally. The southern rock sound can get repetitive. Glad to try out CCR tho. Fav Tracks: - Commotion - Bad Moon Rising

Not the biggest fan of this soft bluesy country vibe but CCR is classic! Felt very 'Americana' and made me nostalgic for another time, 1969, what a time to be alive.

Oy more hippies. This is good for driving down the highway with the windows open. It’s fine. Overall, it’s too loud and too country for my taste. It’s the kind of music that’s playing at a bar you don’t want to be in. Can’t get into it.

requires boots an adequate lazy strut and an oversized belt buckle

I can’t handle much CCR beyond their greatest hits. Do I love their greatest hits? Yes. Do I strongly affiliate them with early childhood memories of music? Yes. Am I tired of rolling the boomer rock albums? YES.

Meh. Not terrible but didn't appeal much to me. At only 29 minutes long I won't complain. Favourite Song: Lodi

Best song: Green River/Bad Moon Rising Worst song: Write a Song for Everyone Notes: when he said "Write a SHOONG for evrywuhn" I felt that Overall: somewhat not enjoyed, but not offensively bad or anything of course. 4/10 or 2/5

slightly better than country music idk kinda boring not for me

- has some great songs

As I listen to this, I slowly morph into a 60 year old guy named "Barry" that spends his time drinking with his friend group, "The Goon Squad", which has managed to stay together since middle school through their united love for a really garbage hockey team.

Boring, Boring, Boring, Boring, Bad Moon Rising, Boring, Boring, Boring, Boring. 2/5

Mercifully short yet still too long for me. I disliked this even more than I disliked Bayou Country. The love for this band is just something I cannot comprehend on any level, the worst aspect for me is the vocals, which I find abrasive and unenjoyable. I would never listen to this willingly. It’s boring at its best and painful at its worst. Only good song was the final track “The Night Time Is The Right Time”. Without that track, this would be a 1 for me.

I can see why this was popular at the time but just sounds like generic jam band rock to me now.

What I would imagine country rock would sound like. Quite pleasant to the ears. I enjoyed Commotion and The night time is the right time.

Boring

Could probably be anywhere between a 2 and a 4 depending on how honky tonky I'm feeling. Today it's a 2.

The boomer flow is heaviest with this record. If you like that sort of thing, this would be great for you. I however, do not have fond memories of these sorts of bands.

Nothing remarkable

Only the hits, ye again

• It was not really my style of music but I can respect the musicality of the album • I liked the rhythm and instrumentals • Probably wouldn’t listen to any of the songs again • Favourite song: Sinister Purpose

Didn't care for most of this album. I just don't jive with John Foggerty's voice.

I do not care about the sounds of CCR

It all comes down to the voice with Credence. John Fogerty certainly has the lungs, but not the subtlety for my liking. All you need to know is that the album highlight is the instrumental Broken Space Shuffle. I've added an extra star for Bad Moon - not so much for the song, but the memories from An American Werewolf in London.

Ferdig med creedence no?

There's better CCR albums than this. It isn't terrible but it didn't do anything for me. Very meh.

I didn't enjoy this as much as the other Creedence album, it seemed more bland

It was OK, songs are kinda samey. Didn't peak my interest.

Not really a genre I enjoy, but I respect these guys.

Just kinda dull and middle of the road.

Não reconheci nenhuma música, apenas agradável.

Try as I might I can't see CCR as anything more than that band who are in all that Vietnam war stuff or the band who every pub cover band ever does a song by. That's my issue not there's of course but sometimes that's how it goes. I'm also just not a fan of this brand of bluesy rock. This started off kind of promisingly, for the first maybe 3 songs the blusey shuffle and mumbled vocals made quite pleasant background listening but then it just keep going with much of the same. Bad Moon rising is a highlight but the rest of it feels like filler to me.

простовато

Ik vond dit niet zo boeiend eigenlijk.

Te belegen.

So much boring blues-rock. It always surprised me that CCR are so big in Australia. 'Bad Moon Rising' is one of those songs you hear as a teenager, think it's not too bad the first few times you hear it out in the wild and then spend the rest of your life trying to avoid.

Not enough stand out tracks.

5/10. Easy listening country rock. Bad Moon Rising comfortably the stand out track.

Bad Moon Rising is a great song but the rest is just really generic and not that fun to listen to

I love the sound of the guitar. So old and gritty, just gettin' it done, but I really hate the dude's voice and all I can picture in my head is a crazed Dennis Hopper full of stink and LSD from Easy Rider. ...and that's what ruins pretty much any CCR album.

these guys do a few good tunes. shame none of them are on this album.

Fairly forgettable to be honest. Not bad particularly, but nothing stands out.
