Green River

this album had amazing tracks, but some tracks were dull

muy buen álbum, algunas canciones me parecieron mejores que otras pero nada que me dedagradara exactamente. 3.5/5⭐

I always appreciate it when an album is short and isnt full of filler for expanding its runtime. This one is a great example of this. Great songs, a lot more `straight to the point` than Bayou Country. Good album, but its my least favorite of the 3 CCR albums on this list (they all got 4s though)

Classic

Immediately recognizable classic rock tracks all around on this one.

guitarisk rock/country

CCR. Such a specific tentpole band in the classic rock pantheon. Nobody else sounds quite like this, and I think it's the voice. This is a solid album, only one big hit but the rest of it is pretty strong too. Even a blues cover to close things out. Nothing really groundbreaking, but I can imagine hearing "Bad Moon Rising" in 1969 would've been a game-changing moment. Very solid album. Favorite tracks: Bad Moon Rising, Tombstone Shadow, Sinister Purpose, Commotion. Album art: Band photo, but the nature and natural look gives this a nice touch. Pretty much impossible to read the red text on top of the picture though. 4/5

Another amazing CCR album part of their short but incredible stretch over just a little more than two years. Absolutely love the roots rock blend of rockabilly, blues, and country that really did give CCR a distinctive swampy sound. Hifi production with cohesive track listing consisting of easily identifiable vocals and murky imaginative descriptions that sharply contrast with the busy energetic instruments. Perfect opener sums up the Bayou Country / Green Album albums. Not a single bad song. Whereas other artists like Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin were taking a hard rock approach to blues, CCR went for a form that was more true to its original form. That and the atmospheric swamp imagery make CCR stand out. You can let this album play on repeat without tiring of it.

Lots of the iconic songs and some nice ones I wasn't too familiar with. Brilliant

Solid effort from CCR. Lodi is the best song here but the whole album sounds clean and solid.

Klasse!

Super evergreens

Great classic rock with a country flavour. The non-famous tracks held up really well to the classics.

Classic swamp rock. Almost comforting at times. Lodi is super underrated. 7/10 if I could.

3

Songs I liked: "Green River," "Commotion," "Wrote A Song For Everyone," "Bad Moon Rising" "Lodi," "Cross-Tie Walker," and "Sinister Purpose" -"Commotion" is solid. Great intro riff anmd good groove throughout. -"Cross-Tie Walker" and "Sinister Purpose" have solid basslines. The bass is slowly growing on me as I listen more -I added "Broken Spoke Shuffle" and "Glory Be" to my instrumental study playlist -"Bad Moon Rising" and "Commotion" stand out as strong tracks -Overall very nice, just a little slow and lower energy than I prefer. Comparing to "Fortunate Son," which I had heard previously, these don't quite get to the same level

The only thing that keeps this from a 5 is “Wrote A Song For Everyone” which I found absolutely unlistenable especially after how good the first few tracks are. Love the rest of the album though!

Always down for CCR

I like Creedence and always have. Probably because they were featured at the beginning of Twilight Zone The Movie. Regardless, three of their best songs are o here - Green River, Lodi, and Bad Moon Rising. The other ones are good, too, so what can you do?

Some fantastic swamp rock. 8.5/10 Best Tracks: "Green River" "Bad Moon Rising"

Just a really solid slice of Creedence. Some of the tracks are a little samey but there are some stone cold classics on here.

Foot tappingly good

4/5

You know half the songs already. Country rock at its finest. Solid.

Bayou Country, Green River, Willie and the Poor Boys - 1969, Cosmo's Factory, Pendulum - 1970 - Fogerty was a prolific songwriter and recording artist. Next to the Beatles CCR was my favorite band for those two years, with their swampy groove they were completely different from anything I had heard. Suzie Q, Proud Mary, Born on the Bayou and then this album hit. The first time I heard the opening guitar riff of Green River I was hooked! Commotion ( B sIde to Green River), Bad Moon Rising and Lodi (the B side to Commotion)it was crazy. It seemed like a new single hit the radio every few months that year (Proud Mary, Born on the Bayou was release in January with the two singles from this album hit in April and July). Every Album released by CCR was Fogerty upping his game! Down on the Corner w/b side Fortunate Son came out in October 69. Beginning with the release of this album we spent a good chunk of our spare time sitting in my friend Charlie's basement - black light posters all lit up - listening to the 3 albums released that year by CCR. Green River lead right into the prime of CCR's output with Willie and the Poor Boys and Cosmo's Factory. Favorite Songs: Green River, Commotion, Lodi, Bad Moon Rising - 4 out of 5.

A classic album.

CCR produced a lot of masculine/bayou rock in their day, pumping out a lot of albums in a short period of time, but they always felt more like a singles band to me. Their performances are always muscular and filled with emotional intensity, but there are always a few tracks that tend to stand above the rest. For me, Lodi, Sinister Purpose and Bad Moon Rising have always been the trio of songs that have stuck with me. Great record overall. Fav Tracks: Lodi, Sinister Purpose and Bad Moon Rising

This record feel likes the definitive representation of CCR's Louisiana-inspired bayou rock and roll. The performances and production are outstanding and the feel is unassailable. At the same time, I can't help but feel that, for all of its stone-cold classics, this album has a few weak tracks as well that make me reluctant to give it a five. I find myself more drawn to Cosmos' Factory and Willie and the Poor Boys for that reason. Favourite tracks: "Green River", "Commotion", "Lodi", "Bad Moon Rising", "The Night Time is the Right Time"

Enjoy the second part of the album best so far

It's good music, I enjoy listening to CCR. But most of the songs drag out a bit too long without much to keep them interesting. Therefore, not quite good enough for a 5.

the dude abides. good album, teeter totters near the full whack for me, if it had a couple more of the big uns on it'd be up there.

Opgewekte muziek, typisch geluid. Fijn om naar te luisteren.

Already loved this album

Een half uurtje aangename roadtrip muziek.

sounds a lot like john fogerty. somebody should sue

Pure distilled Southern Swamp Rock. Best Tracks: Green River, Wrote a Song for Everyone, Bad Moon Rising,

A lot of hits on this one. The band knows how to play and are very tight. 

Amazing guitar rift and lyrics. Captures the 60s very well.

Sounds like a greatest hits album, but it was just a great album from 1969!

8/10 Not really my style but I like it as an album

Good tunes!

.

Enjoyable light weight background music

My sort of roots based county, blues rock n roll music. Can listen to this sort of thing forever. Probably the first album we've had that i didn't already know (other than Bad moon rising) which i love. Highlights: Wrote a song for everyone, Lodi 4/5

Fuck I kinda forgot about this website for a couple days but this album is sexy

4.0 - CCR all day, everyday! (Except their cover of “Heard it Through the Grapevine”)

Another solid album from these guys. John Fogerty was quite prolific. Love the rootsy bayou sound and it's funny that they're from San Fran.

Muy buen disco de rock clásico, con grandes influencias y con un estilo y voz muy fácilmente identificables. Pioneros de un estilo propio. Le ha faltado algo para llegar a ser un disco excelente en todos los sentidos

So good. On the surface the music is fairly meat 'n' potatoes, but there's a real groove and intensity to much of what CCR does that it's infectious. John Fogerty has an amazing voice, of course. And the song 'Green River' is the quintessential swamp rock track. Takes this particular Limey back to the bayou, mentally, at least!

Impecable àlbum de rock ple de temazos. Coneixia un parell de temes només i el conjunt m'ha semblat d'allò més potent. Unes cançons molt inspirades, una veu brutal, i unes guitarres que t'agafen i no et solten. Un disc de rock gairebé perfecte. Tanques els ulls i et porta a les carreteres dels EEUU.

Short and sweet. 8

Short album that gets to the point. Great road trip jam. Easy to groove to.

great classic rock

Cant go wrong with Creedence. Pretty solid album and very listenable.

What I think of when I think classic rock.

Can't go wrong with CCR. Good album.

My childhood right here!

A classic! Loved hearing this one again

Good "Classic Rock" album.

Their best album

it was alright

Quite good, I can see why its on this list but it didn't blow my mind. still very good though, I really enjoyed "Can't stand the rain."

I knew some of them, he's good.

Again, revealing my general proclivities in music (not punk) I am all over this. I had this on a cheap department store cassette tape as a teen and played it until it fell apart.

Not the best CCR album (that would be Cosmo's Factory) but it's not far from it. Great record.

A classic album. You have to wonder what more they might have done had they not disbanded so early on.

Essential. Perfect for sunny summer mornings.

Really solid bluegrass album.

Sans surprise, très bon album. Pas le meilleur de CCR mais contient plusieurs morceaux classiques. Après les albums précédents c'est assez rafraîchissant

Likely the MOST influential rock band of the late 60's. Great album.

WAY more ccr hits than I thought

Awesome album

I've liked some of the other music that I've heard from Jesus and Mary Chain, but this left me a little flat. I'm not sure what it was, but it didn't really grab me this time 3/5

Another classic from them tons of great songs!!

Not their best work but still a classic in my book

Can never say no to a CCR record. The fact that they were able to record so many classics in such a short amount of time is staggering, especially when you consider Fogerty was doing all of the writing. Favorite tracks: "Lodi", "Commotion"

8/10

Classic Creedence, great guitars throughout, love the instrumental tracks, who doesn't love bad moon rising?

I’ve got a soft spot for good folksy Country tunes. Standout Tracks: Tombstone Shadow, Bad Moon Rising, Lodi, Sinister Purpose

Good stuff, enjoyed this. I would pick this up if I saw it at a record store.

hi jessica, i hope ur doing good!<3

Review - a reasonably good CCR album. Score - 6.5/10 Need to listen? NO

Some songs were good like green river. sounded the same mostly 3/5

Always loved that CCR was from California

Bad Moon Rising is a banger rest of the album is ok

Classic creedence, no surprises here

Decent fun rockin 'n rollin' music.

A Classic

The Dude abides...

The most solid three stars of the adventure so far, it could quite conceivably turn out to be the most solid three stars of the whole experience. Three stars. Tom.

Good band, kind of a mid album. Only song that stood out was Bad Moon Rising.

War ganz gut. Country ja eigentlich nicht so meins aber ging fit

Absolutely classic band that I have a lot of nostalgia tied to. I’ve been listening to CCR for years but never got around to listening to an album. Green River is a super accessible and fun classic rock/folk album. I enjoyed it although I definitely feel like I would need more time with the album. Mainly to get a better understanding of the songs that aren’t stand out hits that I’ve listened to and know literally all my life (Green River, and Bad Moon Rising). The songs that I wasn’t as familiar with upon first listen seemed a little flat compared to the ones I knew. Overall still a very enjoyable ,short, and accessible album with the occasional surprise I wasn’t expecting! I’ll definitely be coming back to the Green River every once and awhile.

Some serious firepower on this one

Creedence week? Fear overload. I am not enjoying this as much as I did Bayou Country. It has its moments, and Lodi is epochal. Bad Moon kind of bores me and a couple others left me dulled.

C'est pas leurs meilleurs chansons Mais c'est hyper ok Pas un groupe super fun à voir apparemment mais bon john Forgetty est top

6.5 / 10

Decent & classic

Another dubious honour of the "why is this here" award. Everything great about CCR is at a bare simmer here.

it wasn't bad at all and tombstone shadow & bad moon rising were my favourites but i wouldn't necessarily listen to it in my free time.

First time listening to CCR outside of Fortunate Son -- I dig most of what this record was doing. Don't know that I'll go out and buy their complete discography, but I'm sure I'll check out some of their other material at some point. Standouts: Bad Moon Rising, Lodi

Bad moon rising is a classic, pretty good

Not bad! I was expecting a bunch of over pronounced singing, like he does on “Heyrd it through the grapevine” but it was all just good, clean rock.

Great music, but not for me. Maybe would listen to some on a road trip.

Good stuff, classic stuff. Not amazing stuff, but good stuff.

I feel like I having nothing bad to say about this album, but it didn’t really stand out to me either. Maybe with a few listens it’ll grow on me, but I thought it was just fine.

Bad moon rising is great. I think there was one other classic song on hear. The rest was southern flair of rock I'd expect from CCR, but it didn't hit me the same way Cosmo's factory did

Four dudes in a room, sweating, smoking, slinging notes vaguely practiced, with assured melodies, cocksman vocals, and lyrics about death and memory. Won't change your life, but apt company if you're on the move and hot. "Wrote a Song For Everyone," "Bad Moon Rising," and "Lodi" are all excellent.

short, sweet, and to the point. Some good folk/rock music.

Fun, lighthearted and is reminiscent of what my idealized version of the 70s sounds like. Broken Spoke Shuffle is the surprise for me here. Wildly fun song. Idk if I'm being too generous but this is also an album i have a hard time giving a 3/5 to so I'll give it a 4. Its real cool. Fav tracks: Broken Spoke Shuffle, Green River, Glory Be, Bad Moon Rising.

A good background playlist, and that’s it!

When I was 10 I thought CCR were the greatest band in the world. Listening to them now, I think they sound like a good school band playing Blues Rock….

La conexión que tiene Argentina con esta banda no tiene sentido ni se puede explicar. Te atraviesa. Gran álbum de blues rock. Todas canciones para escuchar chill y mover la patita. No podía no elegir para la playlist otra que no sea el "River decime qué se siente" 6/10

Songs sound the same lowkey, still bangers

Heard of band, never listened to album. Love the guitar on green river. Good vocals too. Commotion is another really cool song. Same good elements. Catchy chorus, simple but effective guitar. Cool harmonica with the guitar solo. Love the guitar riff on tombstone shadow. Production much better on this one, vocals were a little too quiet for the first couple songs. I just love early electric guitar songs. Wrote a song for everyone is really well written but too slow for me. Nothing special with the production. Fine song. Just an OK solo too. Underwhelming. Bad moon rising is an all timer. Commercial song. Radio song. Just a banger. Lasts the test of time. Just great songwriting. Hard to follow that up but Lodi is really good too. Better production on this one. Really good songwriting again. Nice change of pace with cross tie walker. This is a classic 70s southern rock song. Can’t help but tap your foot along to this one. Great guitar and songwriting again on sinister purpose. I want more of it. The outro is so good. This really should’ve been the last song. Night time is fine. Production is very 60s/70s. Good vocals/lyrics again. Good guitar solo too. Just wish they flipped the order of the last two songs. This probably gets a 4 if they did. But they didn’t. Fun album. 3.4/5 stars.

Premier album de Swamp Rock que j'écoute de ma vie. Je suis pas habitué à écouter du country rock mais de ce que j'ai compris yen a quelques uns sur le site donc ça va m'y introduire. L'album a des moments qui envoient de fou je m'attendais pas à autant d'énergie. Sinon à part ça c'est exactement ce à quoi je m'attendais au vu de la cover et du genre dans lequel ça s'inscrit.

I had an ex-boyfriend that was obsessed with this album. Highlights: "Tomstone Shadow" "Wrote a Song For Everyone," "Bad Moon Rising" "Lodi"

Pretty good

lately i've come to realize that i'm not a huge fan of the blues and its genres adjacent, so while this album wasn't bad, it wasn't my cuppa. nevertheless it definitely did have its highlights. wrote a song for everyone immediately stood out to me as the best song on the album by far. it's quite beautiful and i think i'll be coming back to listen to it pretty often. that followed shortly after by lodi definitely made me enjoy the album a little more. favorite track: wrote a song for everyone

boring

Although it obviously inspired both the first GRUNGE band and Gary Ridgeway, the Green River Killer, I quite enjoyed this. 3 This is excellent and I have all the more admiration for CCR because they often steer so perilously close to being barroom boring. When Tombstone Shadow’s guitar solo squats like a toad on a single wobbly note over and over again at 2 minutes I felt like applauding. It is an invitation to reflect on how little and simultaneously how much CCR have done in keeping the listener hooked for two full minutes through the most procedural of Blues progressions. Cross-Tie Walker kids you for a minute that it is going to be a witless retread of Bad Moon Rising, then that brilliant little bass run-down with comic cymbals at the end appears and becomes definitive. If the oppressive spectre of something like Neil Young is briefly summoned by the folk rock of Wrote a Song… or Lodi, it is banished by the subtleties and economy of the arrangements - even at their driest CCR are closer to the elegant lightness of The Kinks than to Young. After a few hundred albums I would rank CCR (Bayou Country and now this) among my favourite discoveries. John Fogerty is wonderful.  3.5/5

Another album from the dad-rock genre. With this band, I have a strong association with a university professor of mine — he had some Creedence song as his ringtone and would always wait for the chorus to kick in. The album is okay

3.5

It doesn’t stir any emotions. Music may be nice but wasn’t “woah significant”

Sinister purpose was good

Good album from CCR

I think they should've combined this and Bayou Country (minus the lamer tracks) into one album instead of releasing them both in the same year

It really says something about an album when you can't tell which songs are the singles, and I don't mean that in a good way. Still though, it wasn't that bad and I enjoyed the guitar bits

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

short and sweet and to the point. solid album

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⭐️
