Green River

Another banger from the boys, it rips

starting to feel alive after a run of dogshit albums

Hell yeah.

Lieblingsband meines Papas. Verbinde ich mit so vielen tollen Erinnerungen. Gefällt mir selbst auch musikalisch gut.

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

Mein Problem bei CCR ist oft, dass sie einen signature sound etabliert haben und sich dann häufig zu strikt daran halten. So klingt dann nichts wirklich schlecht, aber einiges auch einfach nach Copy/Paste ihrer besseren Hits. So geht es mir bei einigen Songs dieses Albums. Das ist zu oft Standardware basierend auf dem immergleichen Blues-Schema. Ein wenig Varianz steckt dann zum Glück doch drin plus natürlich die zwei Überhits. Damit reicht es noch gerade so für eine knappe 4.

Schön kurzweilig, gefällt mir sehr gut

Ein ikonischer Sound, den ich immer wieder gerne höre.

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

Tough because I know there’s better. Bad moon rising great but

Listened Before? Partially! I knew Bad Mood Rising and Green River Pros: EXCELLENT album from CCR. They're legends. Cons: None! I really enjoyed this Songs Added to Playlist: Green River, Commotion, Bad Moon Rising

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

So samey. I thought some of it was alright but was just a bit bored. Unremarkable as an album. Sorry credence Clearwater revival x

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

Álbum muito bom, da vontade de escutar várias vezes.

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

Ok

Whoa! Class of Classic Rock Volume 1!!!

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.

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.

I really fucked with it. Surprisingly. Don't disappoint me.

Entré mirando raro pero alto discazo, no hay canciones skipeables y los pibes son del cerrito, god. Sape.

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

Good, but not something I see myself listening to frequently

Clássico roque and roll de caipira

classudo

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.

Californians play the blues

I love Fogertys voice and Bad Moon is a classic!

Holder seg bra denne, selv om den er omtrent ihjel-spilt

Funker best på veien eller rundt et bål

1. Green River - 11 Absolutely phenomenal track. Instrumentally the bass is the star here the way it dips lower at times. It's the perfect compliment to the short bursts of a dirty guitar and awesome drum beat. Vocals sound excellent and lyrics are incredibly fun. Stunning piece of music. 2. Commotion - 9 Instrumentally a lot of fun and lyrically such a great pace and tone. It's just like Green River in the sense of what makes the track so enjoyable. 3. Tombstone Shadow - 7 Solid rock song. I really love the guitar intro but the lyrics are the star of the show on this track. 4. Wrote A Song For Everyone - 8 Lovely pace and guitar play mixed with some soothing verses and a very enjoyable chorus. Solid track. 5. Bad Moon Rising - 10 An all time classic. Amazing lyrics and a great overall sound. Just perfect. 6. Lodi - 7 Solid song. Really good overall but not at captivating as the other tracks on the album. Still a very good track. 7. Cross- Tie Walker - 7 Pretty much the same feeling I got with Lodi and the same critique as well. 8. Sinister Purpose - 6 Lyrically it's jut not that great but instrumentally it's brilliant. Definitely the weakest track on the album so far. 9. The Night Time Is The Right Time - 7 Good but almost like a mid-to-late 50s rock track. Still enjoyable and short enough it doesn't really disappoint you. Average Rating: 8.00 Adjusted to 5-Point Scale: 4.00 No Rounding: 4 Stars

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

My first album on this app did not miss! I listened CCR growing up because of my parents, so it was an immediate blast to the past. Love this album.

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.

🔥

Good ole CCR. Nice short album sprinkled with a few hits and good songs. It is interesting though when you get to a big hit like Green River it just seems so tight and well done next to these other songs Overall good and fun album, and I don't expect anything less

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

did not care for it

Overall rating by me: 6/10 Songs added to the playlist: ,,Green River”, ,,Sinister Purpose” Notes: The vibe is very country and very lively - typical for the timeframe it was created in. Good music for a roadtrip in the nature.

Album 1031 of 1089 Green River - Creedence Clearwater Revival (1969) Rating : 4.5 / 5 These songs have been bouncing around the airwaves for as long as I can remember, and this album is about as close as it gets to a pure definition of classic rock. The strength here is the songs themselves. Track after track just works. There’s nothing flashy or overthought - just tight songwriting, steady grooves, and John Fogerty’s instantly recognizable vocals carrying the day. The album flows smoothly from start to finish, and every track sounds unmistakably like CCR, which is a compliment in itself. You always know exactly who you’re listening to. There may not be any surprises here, but there doesn’t need to be. This is a band doing what they did best, at the height of their powers. Familiar without feeling tired, simple without being boring - just solid, dependable rock music that’s earned its place over time.

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

Unreal album. So many bangers it's hard to count. 8.7/10

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.

these guys were rippin

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 enjoyed this album throughout. Great rhythm section and guitar work.

makes me wanna go to the country road to see my grandma

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".

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

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.

Really good. I think I’ll enjoy anything from Creedence. This one is a little slight compared to Cosmo’s Factory, which knocked my head off, but it’s still great.

John Fogerty at his peak. Timeless rock & roll piece of art

Love it!

Good jamming album. Easy listening. Liked it.

I did not expect to like it as much as I did after i heard the first song. This album was actually really fun to listen to

Obviously I knew Bad Moon Rising already but really enjoyed the rest of the album too. Other songs like Lodi and Sinister Purpose stuck to a similar formula but if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Eh

3.5

Nothing really grabbed me. 7ish

is “i put a spell on you” from them??

Gr8

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

Another CCR record, and of course it's another cracker. Do these guys ever miss?

3.5/5⭐️

CCR have been a Greatest Hits band for me. Happy to get exposed to this album. Will revisit and probably add to the record collection!

it's the one with bad moon rising on it

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

Really loved this, idk why but creedence clearwater revival really only existed in my mind as the punchline to a joke i only kind of understood but turns out! They’ve done great stuff!! Excited to listen to more of this album and creedence and his clearwaters generally.

Good stuff !

What do you want me to say? CCR forever and this isn’t even their best album. “Tombstone Shadow” is the winner for me this time around, because it made me feel like I was alive again and not just a sad sack of bones ravaged by gastro. Thank you John Fogerty 🙏

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

This is arguably one of the worst of Creedence’s albums and yet it’s still phenomenal. And I say arguably because the degrees of separation between Creedence albums is so low that it’s conceivable for anyone to love any of them more than this. The fact that they released 5 all time great albums within a 2 year period is a sign of something; either they’re inauthentically churning out songs to match the swamp rock vibe they’re emulating, or John Fogherty is a genius. I choose to believe the latter.

Better than bayou country for sure

fkn Creedence. Hell yeah. Ask The Dude. 3.5 stars, round up for the absurdity of JF being sued for plagiarizing himself

January 18 I looove ccr

Yes

Love this shit. Feel like I should be riding from gig to gig in my pickup. Love how you can hear the percussion.

YESSSSSSS

So good

Love everything about this album. Love the blends of rock, blues and southern imagery. I would happily get lost downriver again.

John Fogerty is amazing.

short and uninteresting

Much prefer their first album

Only complaint is that it's too short!

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)

Bad moon rising is a good song.

Legendary album! Will have fun this with one. out of 9 tracks I am well familiar with 3 of them but overall a great vibe, possibly 4 stars.

A thoroughly enjoyable listen. “Green River,” “Bad Moon Rising,” and “Lodi” are classics, and the lesser known tracks have just as much to offer by way of grooves, riffs, and great rhythms. Not the best CCR record I’ve heard but definitely deserves a spot on the list.

i love this album and i love ccr

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.

Classic album. Lots of radio play hits on this.

The 60s equivalent of Status Quo

This one belongs on the list. Arguably the Greatest American band ever

A long jam session. Mostly music, not much singing.

Classic

Nice !

Way too much folk for my liking

Only listened a little. Cant rate

Aivan liian hevosjazzia

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

🥞

CCR is overall a pretty solid pick, it was fun to deep-dive one of their earlier albums. Would be something I would relisten to as a whole album, though not often.

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

⭐⭐⭐

Gotta love the crunchy guitars. Great album to listen to when trying to gather energy for work.

Listening to it, apart from the usual standouts (like Green River and Bad Moon Rising) I really appreciated Commotion and Lodi. Don't know if I ever heard those songs before. But this record is start to finish a banger.

I forgot how much I loved Creedence Clearwater. I mean i love 'bad moon rising' and have for years but the whole album is so good! Just good work vibes music.

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

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

bra, men litt tamt mellom slagene

A wonderful album, still holds up to this day. Some of the best rebellious American music ever written. 8/10

Very country vibes, liked it! Especially if its on a late after moon trip, 7,4/10

Looooved it. Meget sommer hygge

I like CCR but this isn't my absolute favorite of theirs

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

Prisahám že všetky pesničky znejú rovnako Bože nech už to skončí, asolútnr ma ti nebaví

Loved this album and introduced me to more CCR.

I grew up hearing ones like Bad Moon Rising on the radio and always hated them. I don't like blues and I really can't stand that voice.

3 1/2

3.5

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.

Every song a gem

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

Before: Yay, CCR!I do like these guys' music. This should be an enjoyable listen. I might even listen to the whole thing. I'm pretty sure it's going to get a 4. After: I did enjoy almost the entire album but found the last 2 tracks a little tiresome. I would rate the piece as a whole, 4 stars.

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.

Excellent album. Full of songs I remember hearing throughout my life. It epitomizes the soul of CCR.

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)

Good but wasn't in the headspace to listen properly

8/10. A classic CCR album & one that I’ve heard before and believe to be my favorite album by them but I’ve yet to hear cosmos factory which most say is their best but I know that album is on here too so I’ll get to it eventually. Just overall a solid southern rock album foundation (even though they aren’t from the south at all🤦‍♂️)

Great album from one of my favorite classic oldies rock bands.

8/10 Creedence are a band that I know bits and pieces of, but not one that I have fully engaged with, despite enjoying what I've heard, so this was fun. The album manages to provide a really high-quality blend of vibe and momentum. I found myself bouncing, bobbing my head or tapping my toe the whole way through, but the general swagger and delivery, particularly of the lead vocal from John Fogerty, is so laid back that it’s almost horizontal. Managing to thread that line of maintaining momentum while presenting such a relaxed level of cool is a challenging thing, but they pull it off with aplomb. And that feeling is really representative of the album as a whole. It’s all about the vibe. They are clearly a tight unit, with all of them playing superbly in pocket while maintaining that almost dragging swagger, but they rarely throw more than the odd moment of flair at things, performing with a restraint that allows the little flourishes to have more impact than they would have with a more showy performance. The song writing is solid, though rarely spectacular, but it doesn’t really need to be anything more than it is because its the spirit of the performances that provide the quality here, and the fact that barely any of the tracks clock in at more than three minutes or so means that they don’t need to overwork the ideas for them to be effective. While it’s not a mind-blowingly brilliant album, I found it so engaging that I was wavering between a 8 and a 9 on this one, and I suspect that further relistens may push this higher, but I feel like it was a tiny bit uneven in places and the last couple of tracks maybe didn't gel with the rest of the album, despite their standalone quality. Either way, this was a lovely little listen. Green River - A solid riff to kick us off. There’s a really satisfying swagger and lilt to this. The guitar work is just the right amount of laid-back cool, and the vocal matches that aesthetic perfectly. There’s quite a lot of movement built up by the different parts, particularly during the short instrumental sections. It's not the most widely varied song, but it’s also only two and a half minutes long, so who cares. The vibe is great. Commotion - There’s a bit more urgency to this with the persistence of the beat in particular, but it’s still got a nice bit of bounce to it. The instrumental breakdowns here are great and while the track itself hasn’t really hooked me in the same way as the opener, it’s still a decent effort. Tombstone Shadow - And they’ve dropped that pace down again. That swagger is back and it’s got a solid groove to go along with that bluesy base. The vocal call and response with the guitar is simple but effective, and his very occasional pop up into falsetto is great. Again, the vibe of this is just superb and the playing, while fairly understated, is so smooth and engaging. Wrote A Song For Everyone - Now they’ve taken things even more laid back. Despite that it’s still got a good bit of impetus and feel behind it. John Fogerty's vocal is great here, as he pushes a little bit of grit into it here and there that adds a nice emotional edge to the delivery. There are some really pleasing piece of instrumental work in this one too. It would be easy to make a song like this boring, but I found it full of enough movement and variety that it was really engaging. Bad Moon Rising - This is the biggest hitter that I’m aware of from the album. It’s got great pace and momentum to it, it’s written around a great hook and it moves so smoothly through its transitions. It all just feels so effortless. It’s a proper toe-tapper and has more of that vibey swagger about it. Lovely stuff. Lodi - There’s quite an insistent drive to the instrumental parts here, but it's offset really nicely by the lead, both the vocal and then the guitar when it takes over. It’s just a really nice balance between driven and relaxed. There’s nothing spectacular about the song writing here, but the feel of it is so infectious and engaging. Cross-Tie Walker - This continues that up-beat drive from the last track, but throws a bit more of a bluesy lilt to things. It’s not quite as engaging as the last track, but it’s still got a solid toe-tapping swagger to it. The band are really tight and the little bits of instrumental flair that they chuck in now and again are great seasoning. Sinister Purpose - This is a nice switch up from the last couple of tracks. It’s got a cool funky edge to it. Oddly, it feels a little thin sound-wise compared to the other tracks, which is a bit of a shame. I think perhaps there’s too much staccato work going on across the instruments and nothing working to give it a thicker padded base. That being said, it’s still a cool little number and it may be that it just doesn’t feel as warm as the rest of the album. The Night Time Is The Right Time - The blues is in full swing now. It continues on nicely from the last track, but there’s a bit more thickness to the sound. From a musical point of view, it's not vastly interesting, but it’s really well executed. The vibe pushes into being more intense, which adds an extra flavour to the record, but isn’t quite as comfortingly engaging to me as the more laid-back vibey stuff.

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

Very easy listen, first track is a vibe

Singing along to what I knew. Great time.

CCR is kind of a greatest hits band for me. Their most popular songs are all great, but none of their albums are really essential, IMO. Here we have 3 or 4 great songs and the rest is somewhat unremarkable.

Iconic American CCR sound. Beautiful blend with the blues. Great album and a legacy piece of Americana.

I guess it's sort of a no-brainer. But let's face it... If you've heard one CCR album, you've heard 'em all. Knock a half-star off for all the assholes who claim to love Credence and hate The Eagles just because one movie made them think it was cool. Mr. Henley's attorneys would like to have a word with you.

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

This album sounded like a roadtrip. I especially liked the track “Commotion,” and while I don’t see this as a top album for me, I enjoyed listening!

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.

Pretty solid

It’s a really cool record. Loved the guitar tones and a young John Fogerty was writing some of the greatest songs of that generation

3 estrelas. review feita em https://rateyourmusic.com/~melodramasz

like it

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.

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

Just incredible. Top shelf 90s west coast hip hop (skits and all!)

Good, solid CCR music.

I liked it. Good sound.

meh

Great storytelling and use of guitar as a motivator

My notes on this got replaced by my notes on my previous album somehow, so I lost all my specific notes, but I liked this one and it made me appreciate a genre I don’t usually listen to. Favorites were Commotion, Bad Moon Rising, and Sinister Purpose.

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

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.

some quintessential americana here, too bad we live in dystopia now and they don't make shit like this anymore

Just good music.

Fantastic stuff. Outside of the known hits (Green River, Bad Moon Rising) I really enjoyed. Commotion and Wrote a Song for Everyone.

Classic dad rock

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

roots rock!

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.

My dad loved Creedence, it's a very nostalgic album for me.

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

CCR rocks

Good rock.

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.

These guys know how to write a song man

Hell yeah

- Melhor que bayou country, as músicas têm uma estrutura convencional, as letras têm profundidade e o álbum é coeso com boa variação de ritmo. - Das bandas psicodélicas da bay area, é a que mais se parece com o country raiz, por falar, com sotaque aparente, de um certo bucolismo, que da um clima melancólico, meio nostálgico pra obra.

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

Lots of good sounds!

Overall: 9/10 John Fogerty was really on something during '69, writing banger after banger. The covers aren't as mind blowing for me, and I prefer Bayou Country and Willy and the Poor Boys, but this album is still just do great and has an awesome atmosphere to it. Fav Song: Bad Moon Rising

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

Pretty interesting overall- relatively simple but still solid creedance

Li poso un 1 però bàsicament pq les cançons d'aquest rollo em fan una mandra inimaginable. Ho he aconseguit, però m'ha costat escoltar-lo sencer. No pas pq sigui molt dolent sino pq aquest tipus de música no m'agrada.

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.

Nyt ollaan siellä oman musiikkikasvatuksen rootseilla. Vanhemmilla oli Pendulum ja Cosmo's Factory vinyylillä, ja niitä tuli pikkupoikana kuunneltua jopa hävyttömän paljon. Sitten ehkä viidennellä tai kuudennella luokalla Fazerin musiikkikerhon kautta tuli se keltakantinen Creedence Clearwater Revivalin kokoelma, ja vöyhötin siitä koulussa ihan kaikille. Yllätys oli sitten suuri kun lainailin sitä vähän kaikille, ja kaikki palauttivat sen aina seuraavana päivänä saatesanoilla: "hirveetä paskaa!". No itsehän en tästä lannistunut, vaan sitä kokoelmaakin tuli luukutettua ihan hemmetisti. Ja onhan tämäkin levy ihan uskomattoman tiukkaa kamaa. Ehkä jopa Cosmo's Factoryn jälkeen se CCR:n (tiedän että tiedostavat piirit eivät käytä tuota lyhennettä, mutta itse en ole tiedostava) paras levy. Ihan mielettömän tymäkät soundit, ja biisejäkin ihan sieltä ykköskorista nimiraidan lisäksi Wrote A Song for Everyone, Bad Moon Rising, Commotion, Lodi ja Tombstone Shadow. Hauska homma muuten, että vaikka olen bändiä kuunnellutkin sen kolmisenkymmentä vuotta, niin en ole kauheasti perehtynyt musan lisäksi muihin meininkeihin. Tuli esimerkiksi ihan täysin puun takaa yllärinä kun katselin tuossa joku aika sitten Areenasta sitä aivan saatanan kovaa Royal Albert Hallin keikkaa, että Creedence onkin kalifornialainen bändi! Aina luullut että ovat jostain Mississipin tai Louisianan suistomailta tai rämeiltä. Helppo vitska!

In my opinion it feels like old junk

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.

A-ok vibes. Nice background music for chillin.

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

Great!

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.

I just don’t like blues that much 🤷‍♂️

Most songs except the last track are good. But I feel like theres no true greats that elevate it above the other CCR albums.

Superbly dark and somehow also fairly laid-back feeling. John Fogarty isn't a genius but he is a very capable songwriter and this is some foundational material for the roots and folk rockers that followed. Worth your time. 4/5

liked the vibe reminded me of the band america

Absolutely quality! So uplifting and some absolute bangers on there! Great production and musicianship. 🥰

Roots rock og swamp rock (sydstats sumpet agtig rock) ved ikke om jeg selv kan høre det sumpet, det kan jeg måske. Måske er det fordi jeg lyttede til rigtig meget Creedence Clearwater i Australien og vi krydsede mange landskaber hvor det minder mig lidt om det med åer søer osv. det er sådan lidt mere tung Groove som man tydeligt kan høre på guitaren osv. leverede noget meget jordnær rock som vandt hjerterne på amerikanerne. Det er jo hverken psykedelisk rock eller progressiv rock så det er meget mere simpelt og let tilgængeligt i guess? Ligesom jeg også synes. Det er virkelig godt og man får også lidt det man gerne vil have vil at lytte til dem. Perfekt til at køre tur osv.

Was really nice, not a big fan of country

First album :)

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.

5 stars I love the country / southern vibes !! my favourite tracks are bad moon rising, cross-tie walker , lodi and green river, Lodi is a particular favourite

I do really really love me some CCR. This isn’t quite at the level of Cosmo’s Factory or the down on the corner one, but lots of great stuff here.

Really great!

lol every credence album sounds like a best of credence. Stand outs tracks are the ones you’d think. Green River, Bad Moon Rising, Lodi, Commotion 4/5

Another solid entry from CCR. They certainly knew their bread and butter and knew how to build an album around it. Green River, Lodi, and Commotion are all familiar ones and even those that were knew were enjoyable. Wasn't paying attention to song names so no more notes. Just a solid album. 4/5

Hard to give this anything other than a 4. Iconic voice and style exemplified in 30 minutes. No fluff, just good music.

Green River is such a jam to start an album. Completely forgot about that song but it is pretty prototypical CCR. Rest of the album was just great bluesy bayou songs that flew by in less than 30 minutes

CCR is always welcome

Day one of the 1001 albums generator, and a pleasant surprise; been familiar with CCR since as long as I can remember, but was yet to listen to Green River completely (or consciously at least, cause I’m certain dad played it throughout my entire childhood). Such a great album, and reading their bio, I’m definitely more appreciative of the actual scale of their influence, fame and legacy as a pillar of American (and by extension, global) rock n’ roll. I’ll be careful with how I describe and compare albums of this period against my contemporary brain, but Green River is honestly about as fresh and polished of a rock sound I can picture for this point in time. The influences are varied and deep and full of character; soulful, bluesy, and folky, it captures an exact essence of America I now understand to be at the heart of the bands myriad classics. The fact they were only even together for four years and produced multiple all-time records regardless is astounding, definitely a point of inspiration for me to get more into bands as a whole; just too many stories and characters to learn about through their music. Sonically, the blues bass swing and perfectly distorted guitar tone are highlights for me on GR, just lay a foundation of fun and energy which perfectly platform Fogarty’s iconic vocal performance; deep in the mix, charismatic, and textured. Favourite songs (beyond the great Bad Moon Rising) are the incredible title track ‘Green River’, a world-builder that takes us back to the Fogarty brothers childhood days by the river, ‘Tombstone Shadow’, my favourite vocal performance of the album in a song about fate and luck, attached to experiences with specific characters (the Gypsy man from San Berdoo) which add such an important aestheticism to the album for me, and not something I really find in a lot of contemporary stuff as its all so internalised, as well as ‘The Night Time is the Right Time’, a confident blues banger with rich backing vocals that I just adore. Also love the instrumental ‘Broken Spoke Shuffle’, guitar tone is smoother and makes for such a pretty effect on an already fluid riff. Conceptually, I see the album almost as a book of fables about manhood from the Fogarty boys, full of struggles, characters, locations and successes, set behind a mirage of nostalgia and longing for a simpler childhood by the Green River. Overall, a very important album that I love and have definitely heard more than I know.

Discazo. Banda sonora de "ha aparecido un cadáver en mi jardín" convive con "estoy enamorado de ti que te veo sentada en una mecedoraaa"

Some good ones on here and nice and short

Easy listening, nostalgia on blast.

I had to come back and rerate this album, it felt wrong to leave it at a measly four star rating. This album has such a distinct sound, and there is not a skip to be had on the track list. My only critic on my first listen was that "songs tend to blend together due to the homogeneous sound". But presently, I have to disagree, I think of each song as it own separate, very enjoyable, thing. Five stars. (Favorite track: Bad Moon Rising.)

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

Not really my thing but also not terrible

Creedence Clearwater Revival have such a distinctive sound I love it, my favourite off this album has to be 'The Night Time is the Right Time'.

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

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

4/5

Very cohesive sound, classic, reminds me of my dad

Never listened to it before - apart from Bad Moon Rising, but every song is like a comfy pair of jeans. They slip on, the melody and blues grabs you and then it’s done.

These swampy blues bring back great memories of my teenage years driving home to bad moon rising. It may have been a manufactured sound, like the surfing beach boys, but they did it very well. A solid 4 for me.

Middle of the road

Short, good stuff all the way through from CCR.

Absolutely love Creedence but can never decide which of their first five records is the best because they all feel like great albums without quite being superb. That said, the triple whammy of Wrote A Song For Everyone, Bad Moon Rising and Lodi at the centre point of this is next level.

CCR is always good

Excellent album, they had a sound and great song writing ability a solid album.

Often misheard lyric from this album:  "There's a bathroom on the right!" Liked Songs Added: Green River Bad Moon Rising Lodi

I hate that I love this band.

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

Gives me a 70s summer road trip vibe

Not my style

listened to 6/9 songs, it was fun

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

Didn’t listen to the expanded version because I didn’t realize it existed until now, but I thought the basic version was good! Loved the interlude in Wrote a Song for Everyone. I wasn’t expecting to recognize anything from the album but then Bad Moon Rising came on and surprised me.

I can almost hear the helicopters.

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.

I blame my US history classes in HS for making me a CCR fan. But yeah, what an impactful, unique, and long-lasting sound.

29 minutes is about all I needed from this album, and the fact that it's exactly what they gave me is remarkable. I am a little surprised that there wasn't a sprawling 10min jam song, but high marks anyway - 4/5

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.

CCR will always be a delightful, and I think a rather beautiful, listen. But I also just have a hard time separating out how much of my appreciation for them is pure nostalgia versus a recognition of their quality.

Hits sind Hits, Filler ist Filler. Needs more cowbells

4 stars. Great album, lots of fun. Some of CCR’s best are on this album. 1/5 didn’t finish the album 2/5 didn’t keep the album 3/5 kept it and will listen when songs randomly show up on shuffle 4/5 kept it and will listen to it again on my phone 5/5 buying the vinyl

I don't think Creedence has a perfect album - Willy and the Poor Boys comes closest in my book - but they have loads of perfect songs. On this particular record, you've got the stellar title track, "Bad Moon Rising", "Commotion", "Sinister Purpose", and my personal favorite, "Lodi". Fantastic at best, really fucking good at worst. 4/5

Brilliant loved it

This is also a vibe.

This is one of their best albums and has a lot of bangers on it. Anyone who rates this less than 5 stars is crazy.

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

Now this is some fucking rock & roll! It’s like they couldn’t miss on this album, this sounds timeless like it’ll still ring off in 2069 because you can’t beat this sound. Nothing but good things to say about this album

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*.

C'mon, it's CCR

Good music. 4/5

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.

Deilig gammal creedence! Minner meg om barndom og bilturer med farsan, står seg bedre enn mye annen musikk fra samme periode! Dette kan jeg høre på til vanlig!

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

Paar Klassiker und paar, die weniger ins Ohr gehen. 4.0

Phew, this never seems to lose an ounce of its potency. (4.5 but I’m rounding up)

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

There’s a bathroom on the right

Not at all a country fan but love this! It’s so focused, great compositions. Swampy sound, you feel the murkyness on the guitar. It’s never overdone or meme-y.

not a fan of tombstone shadow

Un album entretenido, un cantante que parece tener siglos de expriencia, unas guitarras que no paran de dar esa atmòsfera, que por decirlo asi suenan indomables, una álbum para repetir!

🫶🏻

God old country/ rock is a million times better than the modern stuff. Remember when rural areas produced culture?

Creedence Clearwater Revival is one of my all-time favorite bands from the late '60s/early '70s era. John Fogerty’s voice and guitar work are instantly recognizable, raw, soulful, and completely unmistakable. Every time I spin one of their albums, it still sounds incredible. Absolute classics!

I have a collection of their songs, so I'm familiar with their style more than this specific album. Known songs going in: 3 Rating: 4.5/5 Favourite song(s): Lodi

Would love to hear this live in a smokey bar!

Love it. My mom had the greatest hits CD in her car and we'd listen to it often. First time listening to a full album of theirs and some of the biggest hits are on this one. Good early-southern rock!

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

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.

Besides the songs I already knew I wasn't too impressed. However, that's like half the album, so it's pretty good. Southern rock has never been my favorite, but CCR was probably the best of them.

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.

Bad Moon Rising Lodi

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

- Really solid country rock with riffs for days. - Enjoyed it more the more I listened to it and paid attention to the guitar work, although I’m not that big a fan of his voice. - I liked that there are a handful of pure instrumentals as well. Good vibes. Maybe not one that’s gonna become a personal favourite but will gladly spin it again.
