Roger the Engineer

A very influential band but to me just a collection of songs with little cohesion.

fine album. hey anyone else find it kinda weird how the blues genre on this list is almost entirely made up of blues rock band made up of entirely white people? is that not a little racist or am i being too woke idk. not a fan

there's some really great guitar on this but i'm struggling to really cling on to anything. i enjoyed a lot of it but not enough for me to want to come back to. i assume it was huge in the 60s but now there's so much more out there that's better. not much else to say.

6/10

Alright Old Rock. Listened twice and still nothing really sick with me, but nothing to complain about. Okay, maybe the song about the devil and money stuck with me

Groovy man as the kids used to say. You can tell Jeff Beck’s playing at this point was so developed that you knew that he was moving on as the confines of this white blues played by Englishmen had largely run it’s course at this point. Overall it is a pretty competent approximation of psychedelic influenced blues but it does come off as rather unemotional and cold - possibly because of the composition of the band. Overall it is an interesting artifact of a certain time and place but not among the 1091 albums or more you should hear in your lifetime. 3/5

Never heard of it, yet I get the feeling that it provides a nice snapshot of the era.

Jeff Beck is one of the greatest guitarists of all time. Thank God he was on this album, because without him, it would probably have been a 2. There’s a very good reason why people look back fondly on this band for the sole reason of making Beck, Clapton and Page famous. It was always just a pipeline for them, and not anybody’s favorite part of their careers. Unfortunately, a big reason for that is that this album is just overwhelmingly boring and lifeless. The other reason is because Keith Relf wasn’t a great singer. He was always carried for the entirety of his Yardbirds career by the vastly superior talents of the aforementioned Beck, Clapton and Page, who all went on themselves to be some of the most well respected and talented musicians of all time. Each era of the Yardbirds is fun to listen to, if only to hear what they sounded like so early in each of their blossoming careers. What I don’t want to listen to, however, is the singer. If The Yardbirds ever had a legendary singer, I think people would view the band in an amazing light, rather than the stepping stone that it actually is today. Hell, ironically, I gave Jeff Beck’s solo album on this list a 4 due to the singer their, Rod Stewart, also taking some getting used to, being the weaker part of that album which was also being overwhelmingly carried by Beck and the bassist. The funniest part of all of that is that the best song on his solo album is his solo song. It seems as if a good bit of the site agrees that the best song on this album… is also a solo by Beck, appropriately titled “Jeff’s Boogie”. While it was a close second for me, I rather enjoyed the song that came after it the most, “He’s Always There”. The singing for the most part doesn’t bother me at all, I think he’s fine myself. Completely and deeply unrelated to the review, but did you know he was actually electrocuted in his basement at 33?? It’s a very weird story. Before he went though, he got to work with some immensely talented people. This album is way too long for what it is, it’s pretty boring, and it’s not going to stick with me. But the guitar playing is immaculate, and for that I’m going to give it a medium-low 3.

Overall solid … feel like if I grew up with them I would’ve loved them 3

A quirky one. I like the early psychedelic sound here, but the melodies and riffs can get repetitive and the band didn’t really have any talented singers. A solid time.

Fun, wild, early rock and roll.

This was an interesting mix of all sorts of genres - blues, psychedelia, rock, and one awesome boogie song. Great guitar work by Jeff Beck early in his career. I enjoyed most of the songs, a good listen.

The sound is dated to the 60’s when the album was created, but the Rock & Roll is great. Lots of guitar and drums in every song. A good collection of tunes.

Groovy blues rock is always a good listen, but the jazz element is the highlight here. The tracks with that touch of jazz really shine. Interesting to hear a young Jeff Beck kick off his career, you get a nice hint of his talent and creativity. Overall a fun album.

This was interesting enough Playlist add: "He's Always There"

Fun album

i am not wowed but it is not bad!

꽤괜

Perfectly fine British psychedelic rock. I know at the time this blew peoples minds and the sounds of a sitar was the most interesting thing in existence; but it’s good not great. Nothing super exciting, perfectly functional, and easy listening not worth remembering.

Pretty sweet

Raro, arrancó entretenido y después me aburrió un poco. Nao queda guardado

One of the songs The Nazz are blue, def a rock blues song cause the repeating refrains of talking about troubles of daily life. Thats really cool though. A lot of the songs on this album are actually really good while listening. Mr. Zero a song I could daydream a whole contemperary animation to. I do like Keith Relf singing :D.

Classic rock/blues album.

Evokes an era for sure. The more experimental elements moving away from the poppy sounds make it more intriguing.

Old

#416 / 1089 Heard before? ❌ Revisit? ✅ - maybe This sounds very much like the pre-psychedelic era of rock music, some of it sounds very conventional, but there are also some strange instrument choices. British invasion rhythm and blues bands sounded pretty much all like this, well, the core of what this record is about. I feel like Yardbirds was more about the very technically able players, compared to many other ones of the era. Bluesy rock 'n roll, many familiar riffs and overall sound, except for the weird instrumentation choices here and there. Some of those stranger sounds work quite well with the material, but on some tracks it feels quite... superficial. While I like the bands psychedelic era, this is not it. Barely reaching 3/5

A nice ride, good music, generally the kind of thing I enjoy.

This was fine, nothing special though. Ever since the world began was cool, almost proto-metal for the first part, then the transition to jangle pop was unexpected but fun.

Jeff Beck's guitar is the star of the show here. Quite enjoyed it, but it did run out of steam imo.

About what I expected from a Yardbirds album. A perfect mix of the styles of the time.

It's fine

charming, but probably an album i'll forget about.

Solid I guess. Great hearing Jeff Beck's stuff. Lost Woman and The Nazz Are Blue were my highlights of the album

Early rock pioneers.

very very very okay

Knew of this band but hadn’t heard this album. Did they borrow from the Beatles or was it the other way around? Or was it just the sound of the British Invasion?

Significant influence on guitar bands that followed, bluesy but also reminiscent of Beach Boys in parts.

Nothing too special about this album. The version I listened to has a few bonus tracks at the end by Keith Relf and those are the best songs on the album IMO. Mr. Zero, Knowing, and Shapes in My Mind. If the whole album was that, I would've liked it more.

Guitar playing, thumbs up. Song Writing, thumbs down. Every other aspect of this album thumbs sideways. Album art!? Double thumbs up! Woulda been a 2 without it.

It’s interesting music—bluesy—but for some reason, half the album isn’t available in Germany. Plus, the songs repeat in the second half. Overall, a few of the songs are interesting, but it’s hard to judge the album as a whole.

3 I always mix these guys up with The Byrds given the similarities in their names and legacies, not to mention the fact that they both broke out at like the exact same time (seriously, how did that happen?) In this case, these are the British blues boys whose work Jimmy Page repurposed for Led Zeppelin’s debut album, not the American country rock hippies. However, before Page, the group cycled through two other guitarists, a couple of nobodies named Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck. This album is a product of the Beck era, though, the roots of Zeppelin are certainly still detectable - it seems Mr. Page owes a few people a round of beers. Anyway, for the most part, this is pretty standard blues rock from the era. While it lacks much of the soul infused into it by the black artists they were undoubtedly influenced by, that’s made up for just a bit with some of the edginess they apply here. The heavier songs here are definitely the standouts, though mostly because they’re the ones that actually feel like real products of the group and not just inferior versions of blues standards (the compositions are, in fact, all originals, though, so I’ll give credit there). That also may just be the Zeppelin fan in me projecting - I mean, come on, if you cover one ear and squint your eyes, there’s a hint of Communication Breakdown buried in Psycho Daisies, no? The group also seems to dabble a bit with psychedelia here and there, much like their avian contemporaries, and it’s not bad, though it also doesn’t result in anything overly remarkable. It almost borders on annoying in the case of ya ya ya-ing Hot House of Omagararshid, but the anti-capitalistic droning on Ever Since the World Began at least helps bring it back around to tolerable. Beyond that, my only other two thoughts on the album are that Jeff’s Boogie is impressive, but weirdly Christmas-y to a distracting degree, and that Farewell, while not especially noteworthy, is placed in the middle of the album instead of, say, at the end? (It is at the end of Side One, but it still bugs me) Overall, this is probably one of those albums that’s more influential than it is interesting, or I guess just indicative of better things to come. I know Beck is considered an esteemed guitar virtuoso, but outside a song or two here, you really wouldn’t be able to tell with this songwriting. It’s still generally enjoyable work, but ultimately, pretty unmemorable. My biggest gripe though? What the hell is this album cover? It’s visual gibberish and looks unfinished. I respect the fact that they tried something different instead of just slapping a photo of themselves on the front but, idk, maybe they could have added a splash of color?

Почався альбом дуже яскраво, є класна гітара. Далі трохи пішов на якісь стежки, де багато чого відбувається в пісні, але мені вони не сильно подобаються. Загалом досить приємні враження.

На диво альбом більш-менш сподобався, враховуючи що цю гараж\психоделік сцену 60х я не дуже люблю. Тут ще звісно Джеф Бек (до того як він став тим самим Джефом Беком), але вже нема Джиммі Пейджа. Коротше ок альбом, послухав не без задоволення.

This was more fun than I thought it would be. I listened to the mono version and that 60s studio sound really cut through

Mediocre Blues is what this is. The draw is Page, Clapton & Beck but apparently not all at the same time. Beck is just here. It's fine, instrumentally. Its the lyrics & the singing. Just mediocre. 3

3/5

All I really know about the yardbirds is they employed Page, Beck and Clapton and that may be all I need to know. Sort of a Rosetta Stone of British Invasion rock. On its own never blew my socks off, but a few tracks sounded pretty great, a few big swings production wise. Shout out to the live version of Lost Woman by James Gang.

I am not sure I appreciate Jeff Beck enough to love this album. There is some cool psych stuff on here - Lone Woman, Ever Since the World Began - but alot of this sounds like generic blues. Fun but not ground breaking.

Solid psych rock

Wild album. The songs are clearly from the mid-60’s, but Jeff Beck’s guitar work is a decade ahead. I would give this a 4 because the guitar work is great and so obviously influential. But many of the songs are children’s-lullaby simple (lots of runs with “do-dah”, “yah-yah” sounds) and the lead singer can’t sing. A 3.

A descent album, but not one I would likely listen to again.

Roger the Engineer was fun, but it was nothing groundbreaking!

This is one of those that’s just on here because it’s old.

Pretty dated sounding. Nothing particularly standout

Rv

I liked

Good background music but nothing really stands out.

Главный плюс альбома - он идет всего 30 минут

Good

A classic display of classic rock. This album was interesting because it was before the psychedelic craze, and had a more Blues Rock sound. Clearly a lot of talent on the album. Some hits, a lot of easy listening. Overall- good album

A fun album with some really great guitar work (see "Jeff's Boogie"). It seems Jeff Beck was the guitarist, so not very surprising, then. I love the goofy cover sketch and the music isn't bad either. Favorite track: "What Do You Want"

Decent

fine

Good jams aye, not my favourite genre

Interesting rock music

Fairly decent 60s jangly rock album, can’t complain really!

A bit more fun than the rest of the blues slop in this list, there’s a fun intensity. Still not amazing though, there’s better 60s stuff out there 4 me!

Pretty solid for the most part but eventually became a chore. RYM: N Saved a song: N

Pretty okay stuff. Extra star for the box art.

Good background music but I haven’t heard anything jaw-droppingly awesome. Yet?

***An ok album

Kinda fun? 3.3/5

About what I expected. Good music, good guitar, but petty sounding of its time.

Some sick blues riffs

Blues-rock of the British 60s sort, but on a few songs it pushes harder, gets weirder, fuzzes out noisier. Some good ones, but some, or kinda a lot of, uh, not good ones.

I get it pero no me encantó

An interesting inclusion on this list, and I've got to say that the album cover alone is worth it - I love it. It's a really fun jam, but I'm not blown away by the album as a whole. Still a really good listen. The alternate versions are very quirky, and the song 'Ever Since the World Began' is itself an interesting phenomenon. Favourites: Lost Woman Over, Under, Sideways, Down The Nazz are Blue What Do You Want

Somehow, through many, many, many, lineup changes, and name changes, this becomes, the far superior, "Honeydrippers."

Fav- over, under, sideways, down 3/5

Hay Rocanroles muy interesantes.

This is kind of a charcuterie board of popular music styles of its time: pop, blues, blues-rock, psychedelic, and annoying forgettable trash. Most of it is in the first several categories, and they're passably good. I find myself enjoying the blues-oriented stuff more than anything else. I have to admit, I got more into the wobbly sheet metal thing on Hot House than I would have thought possible ⭐⭐⭐.5

This one started off kinda interesting for me, with some slight psychedelic rock (Which normally I wouldn't be into, but for some reason was enjoying here). But whether is just lost steam or I wasn't paying much attention, the rest of the tracklist didn't really wow me. It was fine, but not attention grabbing.

I think we let too many British invade in the 60s. This one sharks have stayed on the boat.

Had never really gotten the chance to listen to Jeff Beck, so I really appreciated the chance here. He has some great riffs. This album is nothing spectacular but really solid. Happy I listened.

Swing placeholder but alright. nice cover

I was expecting way more from this. Jeff Beck is an exquisite guitarist, of course, but otherwise I was quite disappointed. The blues songs aren't doing it for me - too formulaic, and I'd rather listen to original blues, e.g. Elmore James' Dust My Broom rather than The Nazz Are Blue. The singing isn't the best. Some songs are rather The Kinks-like (e.g. Farewell) and have that children's songs-like character I don't fancy.

6/10

Legendary band but this is really basic old school. Not ahead of its time...

In the past week I've been subjected to three separate projects featuring Jeff Beck and/or Rod Stewart. Faces, Jeff Beck Group, and now Yardbirds. And it all sounds pretty much the same.

It's a yardbirds album. It slaps. It's not my favorite but it slaps.

Some tame Brit pop rock from the early days. Has a comfortable sound and is easy enough to listen to. Not exactly my favorite tunes, but it’s pretty good. I’d listen again.

Over Under Sideways Down

Cool array of sounds. Definitely the cusp of genres where some old meets new. Newer stuff is pretty cool.

Fairly generic but solid 60s British invasion fare. Top tracks: "Over Under Sideways Down," "He's Always There"

It's fine. Pretty much a bog standard 60s rock album with folk influence and tons of talent. Very 3.

Not really for me, but obviously there's some impressive playing, and it's right at that confluence of blues and rock-'n'-roll and psychedelia, so lots of interesting things to hear along the way.

more a fan of the stereo album. my favs were happening ten years time ago and mr. zero.

aparentemente é uma banda que lançou bons guitarristas e um eric clapton. não dá pra acertar sempre esse aqui eh sem ele, pelo menos. rockzinho psicodélico regado a guitarrada, mas mei xoxo. nada demais

мягенький рокнрол, не моё)

I enjoy this era of this band.

I had a nice time listening to it, although maybe it doesn't reflect all that well on the songwriting that my favourite things about it are the extreme panning and the sound of the reverb

There’s interesting things going on here, blues, heavy rock and psych being combined. A sound that would dominate the following decade. However unlike LED Zeppelin it’s not as cohesive and the drums and vocals aren’t as strong- but the guitar playing clearly shines. Ironically it’s the more basic blues rock that is the strongest but you can hear the bones of much bigger bands

I knew this would have blues influences, but I didn't realize that it would be more blues than rock. I also didn't realize it was going to be the lame white people trying to be cool type of blues not the cool booze and sex type of blues. Some of the songs here like Farewell and I Can't Make Your Way wound like rejected Wiggles songs. All and all this album is lame but fine. Low 3.

Mid

I’m ambivalent about this one. It’s fine. Didn’t hate it. Sounds like a number of other records of this era

Really enjoyed the Blues playing - the songs were alright overall.

Would be a five star album without the vocals…

Solid album from legendary band highlight is lost woman

-this album has variety and is chill -I don’t think I’m in the right mood for it today -I will probably check it out again another day -

Definitely going to come back to this one in the future!

I have heard of that band but not all that familiar with their music but I do remember some of their better hits including Baby Please Don't Go, For Your Love, Happenings Then Years Time Ago and Turn Turn Turn. A good album overall.

The rock and roll minor leagues. A mixed bag, albeit, a good mixed bag. Giving this an enthusiastic 3 and will likely revisit.

Has some pretty decent guitar moments. Possibly one of the better mid 60s albums on here (that’s not the Beatles). Could be a 4 upon more listens.

Not bad but nothing sets it apart from all the other 60’s British bands on this list.

They nailed what an engineer looks like

This album is fine, but I still don't get the hype of the Yardbirds. We're just supposed to like them because they pushed out some amazing guitarists? Despite this album having Jeff Beck on it, it's still pretty mehhhh.

Lost Women - 4/5 Over, Under, Sideways, Down - 4/5 The Nazz Are Blue - 3/5 I Can't Make Your Way - 4/5 Rack My Mind - 4/5 Farewell - 2/5 Hot House of Omagararshid - 2/5 Jeff's Boogie - 3/5 He's Always There - 5/5 Turn Into Earth - 4/5 What Do You Want - 4/5 Ever Since the World Began - 4/5 Average score: 3.6/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ while the last few tracks were pretty nice, i don't think they made up for the weak tracks in the middle

Classic

Meh

I liked about half of it. The rest was blues rock, but less objectionable than usual.

First time listening to a full album from them. And it was really good honestly. Very surprised to find out The Pussycat Dolls sampled them lol 3/5

Compared to other sort of British blues obsessed 60s bands I think this is pretty good. Nothing’s really blowing my mind. However, I like I can’t make your way which is kind of like them doing the kinks or something which is another band that dabbles in this that kind of stuff.

50% Psychedelic and 50% Blues. Would have preferred more of the former but an interesting mix!

A really strong 3 songs to start but then the energy dropped and it felt like diminishing returns afterwards for most of the rest of the album. Another I found perfectly fine to listen to but very little hooking me in for further exploration.

Kul ändå! Men känns inte helt färdigt, och produktionsteknikerna gör ju enorma framsteg på kort tid efter detta. Men man hör vartåt det barkar, på ett bra sätt!

Yardbirds>Cream. Jeff Beck är king. Så jävla härligt riff i ”Over, under, sideways, down”. Nosar på 4an.

Även om Jeff Beck inte nått final form här så är han alltid värd en lyssning. Genomgående ganska trevligt album.

Det här var ju riktigt bra. Många roliga idéer. Visste ni att The New Yardbirds spelade en gång på Ängby Park i Knivsta? De bytte senare namn till Led frekkin Zeppelin

les beatles si ct pas fou

Aside from a few songs I've gotten familiar with over the past 1/2 century, this was no too appealing.

Not bad, with some incisive lyrics on spurned love and greed. But just a bit too boring for me.

Happenings and Over Under are the big ones and they are both amazing. Solid album cuts as well

Fav: Jeff’s Boogie Least Fav: Rack My Mind

Sometimes everyone else is spot on. The guitar is incredible, the rest is boiler plate.

Overall Rating - 3.32/5 (6.64/10). The guitar work is uniformly excellent, but it's Jeff Beck, so that's pretty much expected. Some albums sound like the time they're from. This is definitely one of them.

Solid album. It seems a little weak compared to other albums or artists in the decade.

Very 1960's psychadelic with elements of Pink Floyd and the Beatles. Not quite as weird as some similar albums of the genre. Pretty good to listen to, probably helped by Jeff Beck's guitar playing, although arguably he went on to play better tracks in his future.

I mean, it's still decent, just not quite as exciting as I expected.

If I'm understanding correctly, The Yardbirds were the band of the legendary blues-rock guitar god Eric Clapton until he left. They replaced him with Jeff Beck, one of the most critical psychedelic guitarists of all time, and Roger the Engineer was Jeff Beck's first full album with The Yardbirds. It's fascinating because you can hear blues-rock and psychedelic music smashing into each other here, but they never really integrate. Still, this was pretty fun. I couldn't help but compare this to The Who, who are obviously contemporaries doing something similar, but who have them beat on both the songwriting and arranging fronts. It reminded me of Pearl Jam's Ten vs. Stone Temple Pilots' Core: two bands that sounded almost the same, but Pearl Jam had a style so nailed down that they could play in it like a big sandbox, trying different things out. In contrast, STP sounded like they were trying to write Pearl Jam songs (and occasionally succeeding). I'd be interested in where this partnership could have gone if those two sides had integrated better, but it sounds like Beck left to form the Jeff Beck Group not long after this was released. And then, famously, Jimmy Page and Roger Plant came along and did what Jeff Beck was doing, only with better songwriting and arranging. He truly was the Salieri of psychedelic blues-rock in the late 60s/early 70s.

I gave this multiple tries and I think in the end I quite liked it but I can't figure out why it doesn't stick. not keen to listen to it again but this may be a mistake...

Musically more interesting than I thought it would be. Beck is an inventive guitarist and the influence on other guitarists of the era (and competition that must have generated) is clear. The issue with lots of proto records from this era is the production is very thin and the songs veer towards being insipid. This is why its an influential but not essential album, for me

I like the album cover more than any of the music. Favorite track: Over Under Sideways Down

eh

Interesting mix of rock and blues from the 60s . I knew the name but wasn't aware of the sound

Donnerstag, 29.01.2025 ~ von früh bis spät ~ im Superfit Europacenter, im Seitensprung-Café, auf dem Weg nachhause - vom Berliner Ensemble (David Bowie - Heroes).

Meh

Standard white boy blues/psych rock.

I feel like I need to start busting out the "nowhere album" moniker again because, man, I have no idea where I am. I also have no idea what this album could be aside from a pop rock album. The cover makes me feel like I'm in for something psychedelic, but more the byrds/the kinksy than something Beatle-esque. Anyways, 'ere goes. What the hell is going on with this album? The tracklisting on streaming jams two songs which weren't even on the original release onto the beginning of the album. I hate when that happens. Anyways, this album is perfectly fine. I listened to the mono mix. The instrumentation on the stereo mix sounded better, but the tracks alternate between having the vocals come from either the right or left ear, which is very, very strange. Again, I ask. What the hell is going on with this streaming release? Okay, I'm getting too distracted. I got some enjoyment from this album. Most of the first side didn't hook me, but from about "Farewell" to "What Do You Want" I was getting down with this. The album fell into a nice middle ground between having some campy instrumentals and some nice, earnest songwriting, all without sounding too dated or alienating. It's difficult for me to single out what I liked most about this stretch of the album since the music alternates and changes a lot, but it ultimately boils down to the songwriting. The vocals aren't particularly outstanding, but the lyrics have a fun bounciness to them, and I like the quirky subject matters. The guitars are usually the strongest aspect of the tracks where they feature, especially on "Jeff's Boogie". Overall, I liked most of this album, I'm tempted to revisit it later down the line, I greatly appreciated the brevity and, above all else, I'n happy to be leaving an album with a positive opinion for a change. Thank you, music. Book time. A belaboured release. Many influences. A precursor to bands which popularised blues rock. Wikipedia says that this album was the only one from this English band to release in the UK. That's strange. Mild critical acclaim. My saint, my true hero Todd Rundgren named one of his bands after "The Nazz are Blue". Sure, this appears to be a respectable pick. I cosign this inclusion.

Not particularly engaging or memorable. It has some good tunes and guitar solos, as expected, though

Rock and roll

The 60s are such an infectious time to me and this record embodies the time very well. Still, the album had a couple of fantastic tunes and a fair amount of forgettable stuff to pad it out. I found the first half (I listened to the standard 12 track version) to be more enjoyable. The second half sort of trailed off, but in the end I found it to be a unique listen.

Some neat stuff, mostly forgettable though

For the quality and quantity of fantastic musicians this band always seemed to keep in stock, I don’t believe they ever succeeded in translating it in the studio into a proper album. I have a feeling seeing this live would have been much more interesting.

It’s okay I suppose

Decent album. I enjoyed Farewell

++: Lost Woman, The Nazz Are Blue, Rack My Mind, Jeff's Boogie, Turn into Earth, What Do You Want, Ever Since the World Began +: Over Under Sideways Down, Hot House of Omagararashid, He's Always There +-: I Can't Make Your Way, Farewell 7,3/10

I liked it got distracted a lot so I couldn’t properly pay attention to the songs

Absolutely stellar guitar work, slightly let down by the fact the songs themselves feel like little more than vehicles for it. They also feel quite unfocused and inconsistent. Like some are real blues rockers and then some are quite (and in the case of Hot House of Omagararshid very) psych tinged. I enjoyed it well enough, but, like starting watching Line of Duty halfway through series four, it raises more questions than answers.

Listening session: january 10th, while fixing up a wooden cabinet at my parents house Listened to before: no Thoughts: I didn’t pay a lot of attention to this album because I was busy doing a chore while listening, but this was nice as background music Favourite track: Lost Women & Hot House of Omagararshid

кажется что вот-вот песня сильно зацепит и заесться, однако такого не происходит. возможно если переслушать альбом и вчитаться в текст, то проникнуться получится. но пока так

Nice

not my style but still great for its decade

Rack My Mind is such an unpleasant song to listen to but this is otherwise fine, reasonably forgettable music to spend an hour with. This album list is making me (correctly, rightfully) racist against the white british but this one slides ever so slightly into a three. might be a little generous. rhymes are bad.

Yet another boring, mediocre 1960’s rock album. No wonder all the kids were doing drugs if they had to listen to uninspired crap like this. This is the sound of unseasoned, bland, mashed potatoes in musical form.

This was okay. I have heard so much about how great the Yardbirds are and influential. This was a little underwhelming based on the hype.

I may not know enough music but I do not see/hear their influence

The strength of this album is principally Beck, who is in top form. And by this point The Yardbirds had moved beyond blues standards into a combination of blues, pop, and psychedelia, making the record interesting if uneven. There aer some great track and some mindless blues filler, but on the whole its enjoyable and hints at the adventurous and boundary pushing theatrics in Jeff Beck’s future.

5/10 Ok, yeah sure, why not. 12-18-2025

Classic rock, a bit rambly

first listen it was alright

The one with Jeff Beck. Not bad listening. You can definitely hear the British Invasion taking place here. And while it’s not blues itself, the influence is definitely strong. Some of these songs really rip. And some are…of a time.

Good guitar playing, not that enamoured by the rest

2.5 Seriously, just add it to the list with all the others. I don't know how many times I've discussed 60s psycadelica pop on here now, they all blend into one now.

Had a good time with the music and the album cover.

I mean, I'unno. It's like ... I've got these two problems that're keeping me from enjoying this album as much as I should. And they're both more personal problems than anything having to do directly with the album. For one, I hafta wonder if I've been spoiled by all of the 60's music I've heard before now. I've grown up ingesting shit like The Beatles and The Beach Boys and Jimi Hendrix ... y'know? Some of the absolute best of the absolute best out there. And I guess when you spend so long taking in stuff of that magnitude and quality, it can be a little difficult to appreciate anything that's even a notch lower. Like, this 60's psych blues thing this album is doing: I get it, and I can even understand why it's sort of important. If you argued at me that this laid the groundwork for albums like 'Are You Experienced', I'd understand it entirely. But then, I kinda like 'Are You Experienced' better? Like, I'm not even trying to put this thing up against shit like 'Revolver' and 'Pet Sounds', necessarily, 'coz that's obviously not what it's aiming for. But, I'unno, I still kind of hear and think to myself, "Yeah, it's fine, but why exactly **is it** so special when stacked up against others of its ilk?" Then there's the other thing, which might play into why I can't hear it as being so special. It seems to me that the appeal of The Yardbirds is that, at various points, it's had three of the most legendary guitarists in history: Eric Clapton (ewwww), Jimmy Page (**I** like him, but I know others go "ewwwww"), and Jeff Beck. And it seems to me that whichever one of these guitarists you like best, that's the incarnation of The Yardbirds that you're gonna gravitate towards. This album is the Jeff Beck show, and, like ... it's listening to this album that I realize I have no opinions on Jeff Beck. Like, whatsoever. It's not like with Clapton, where (racism aside) I can comment on his "dusty blues licks," or with Jimmy Page, where I could probably find some way to tie things back to Led Zeppelin. No, Jeff Beck is like ... a name I know, for sure. I might've even seen one of his album covers at one point? But I don't know if I've ever heard a single song that he's on. Really, there's Spinal Tap's "Break Like The Wind" and that's it (if that's even the one he's on, and not "Short And Sweet"). So, you have an album which seems to have gotten its legacy off of Jeff Beck as a guitar player ... and, sure, he's a good guitar player. He does stuff on this where I'm like, "Damn, this came out **when** in the 60's?" But on the whole, due to my lack of awareness about Beck, I find it sort of hard to get engaged. And even putting aside all of that ... like I said, it's mostly just fine psych blues. It's far from bad, but just as well it's far from anything I'm all too "WOW"ed by. It just never does anything that reaches above that level for me, y'know? Honestly kinda jus' came and went. Maybe one day, when I better familiarize myself with Jeff Beck I might enjoy this album more ... or maybe one of these songs'll catch me on a better day and I'll go, "Damn, I should rated it higher." But as of right now ... yeah. Wasn't exactly a rave-up to me.

some cool stuff but nothing super special. i can see these guys getting some success back when they were making music but not sure there’s any reason to keep their legacy strong

Kinda Psychadelic rock, Kinda Rock, Kinda Blues. Probably would have preferred if they went any of those directions instead of wandering back and forth.

Good. Almost a four, then I realized I’m never listening to it again.

not what i expected

A fine rocker and and blues album. As the only studio album of The Yardbirds and featuring Jeff Beck's impeccable guitar playing on all the tracks, I am inclined to agree that it belongs on the list as a pivotal album in the 1960s even if it is less relevant now.

Fun, jangle folk music. Formative. Catchy. Behind a lot of other albums from that era that scratch this itch much better.

Yardbirds were at the beginning of all this new music.

Good guitar! Mediocre on the rest. Thanks Jeff Beck! Understand that the Yardbirds were in the first class of this RnR wave, but the better talents prevailed.

I've not listened to much Yardbirds and this doesn't seem like the right album to have started. Some of this was ok, when it got a bit psychedelic. But other bits were irritating and tt vocals were terrible, especially on the very "English" tracks, the kind that ruin the otherwise majestic sounds Cream make. I didn't hate it though.

bit hit or miss for me. also who knew the pussy cat dolls stole the melody for don’t cha. i sure did not.

i know elvis was referred to as “the king of rock and roll”, but you could probably make more of an argument for that title belonging to either little richard or chuck berry. elvis didn’t really do anything groundbreaking, honestly other than bringing music that already existed to a wider whiter audience. the upbeat songs on this album were ok, but the slower ballads kind of fell flat to me. if this album was an example of how “great” elvis was, you lost me.

This came out the year I was born, not that has any bearing on the quality. To be fair the Stones have had a 60+ year career out of music like this but actually not as good!

Pretty great blue rock but I didn’t think it was anything incredible. Jeff Beck sounds amazing though and this band really kickstarted some amazing careers but yeah, I thought this album was fine.

conflicted about this one. they can obviously all play, but it sounds to me like 30 minutes of ringo songs. somewhere between 2 and 4.

Light 3,5

This was Ok. Some of the tunes were groovy, such a cool 60s sound. But not a 4 for me.

Decent variety. Quite an abrupt end.

nice sounding album.

#773. Aside from the terrible album cover, its pretty fine otherwise. Its decent overall, but not particularly interesting to me in particular. 3/5: acceptable

Not for me, again

(66/100)

Jeff Beck really carried this album.

Way ahead of it's time

If I was a teenager in 1966, I would have been a Yardbirds fan.

Very dad vibes. Very '60s. Fun, but I don't need to hear it for too long.

3.4 Nothing really stood out to me except for Jeff becks guitar playing.

for sure man

A very messy, badly recorded album which nonetheless has some really good blues rock tracks on it. In all honesty, the most interesting aspect of The Yardbirds more generally is hearing the humble beginnings of three people who would go on to become some of the most revered guitar gods of the century (Page, Beck and Clapton).

Not unpleasing, but I won't be listening to this again. The guitar playing was good, but the vocals weren't great. Three stars seems fair.

Kansi on niin härö että ihmettelin mitäköhän kökköä tämä on mutta osoittautuu Eric Claptonin alkupään bändiksi. Myös muita kuuluja kitaristeja ja kyllähän tuon kuulee että makeaa menoa ja tuttuja biisejä, olisiko elokuvista tai mainoksista. Kuuntelee mielellään.

It is absolutely fine.

This one was around when I was a yewt. A solid foundational rock work.

Just pure 60s rock.

Yesterday, I mentioned how Napalm Death was more deserving than a lot of 60’s psych rock records on this list. I should know better by now, this generator works its magic and summons a 60’s rock record. Not quite psych, more down the middle rock than anything but still psychedelic adjacent. “I Can’t Make Your Way” was pretty well done, the ‘ahhhhh’ vocals were just as catchy as the first lyrical bit of the song. I felt similarly about “Farewell”, with its cyclical vocal melody and aaaahhh’s in the background once again. I didn’t need songs like “Jeff’s Boogie” to lower the experience with some more typical, unoriginal ideas (even if it was admittedly well performed). All my kvetching out of the way, this album is pretty solid for what it is. Strong 3/5, maybe a hit song or experimental song away from a 4/5.

Pivotal in the blues

True hit or miss album. 2.5/5.0: Mixed

ive heard this album before and didnt enjoy it. its been many years but looking on spotify i see a mono version and a stereo version. im guessing i listened to the mono version back then. i listened to the stereo version this time and i enjoyed the album way more. production is still pretty rough around the edges compared to what their contemporaries were doing at the time. the instrumentation is great, especially guitar which makes sense given jeff beck played on every track. overall not a bad listen.

I’d never heard of the Yardbirds before, I enjoyed elements of this album

I only knew one Yardbirds song before this, and going in, I expected Jeff Beck’s guitar work to steal the show. While it’s certainly inventive for its time, I wasn’t exactly blown away. The album sits in that fascinating in-between space - blues roots giving way to early psychedelia - and you can hear rock evolving track by track. Nothing truly grabbed me, but it’s a fun, energetic listen, and a glimpse at how the genre was reshaping itself in the mid-’60s.

Alright

A lot of fun and wildly all over the place.

Good record

This album made me feel nothing. Even after a couple listens, still nothing. Sometimes it sounded like The Who, the last song sounds a lot like Black Sabbath before Black Sabbath existed. I'm pretty neutral on those bands as well.

This is pretty cool. The Yardbirds are a band most well known for generating iconic guitarists, with links to Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, and On Roger The Engineer, Jeff Beck. Due to this alone, The Yardbirds have a space carved out in rock history, but this album is also pretty interesting. I'd say that, broadly, this is another mid '60s psych band, but The Yardbirds have a slant that's just a little lo-fi and earthy, for lack of a better word. The tone is a little darker and less colorful than the '67 summer of love stuff that would follow. Although I think it's made up for through this album's focus on texture. It comes across as accessible and enjoyable rock music, but with something a little arthouse about it. And the songs are good enough to carry it. This one is at least worth a listen, even in a sea of psych records from the time.

Ehhh nothing really stood out.

A brisk and fun time capsule!

Jeff Beck was amazing!

Low 3? Wasn't bad but didn't stick with me

нямам конкретна критика ама не можах да се закача

That was alright.

Roger is actually an Optometrist.

This was just alright. Not my favorite from the 60's psychedelic era but not bad.

I don’t know. Sounds very much of its time and not really special to me. Great album cover tho.

This is one of those classic history albums that set the foundation for a lot of rock bands to come including Led Zeppelin, Jeff Beck and everything that Clapton did. On its own,it feels a little bit like a dated time machine bridging the 1950s rockabilly with the late 1960s rock and heavy metal movement. From historical context this is a pretty cool and important album. Jeff Beck’s guitar work definitely set the stage for his own solo careers coming up starting with the album truth which is a great album. We see an example of that with Jeff’s Boogie. The song Farewell almost has a Beatles sound to it and Turn into Earth definitely set the sage for a psychedelic rock. Favorite song was probably What Do You Want, which almost feels like a Who song. Overall summation: this album is definitely important from musicologist.

Random thoughts: * I listened to this album twice through. While fine, I wasn't blown away by anything here. Perfectly fine music. * It kinda sounds like Chuck Berry filtered through 60s British psych rock. * While this is Jeff Beck across the album and he is known for being an amazing guitarist, I didn't particularly notice while listening.

The vocals suck which is a shame because Jeff Beck can shred.

?? ok spannend, wiki: ??Jeff Beck Bandleader und Sprungbrett für Clapton und Page und Yarbirds werden dann Led Zeppelin...Brit Blues inspired early pop psychodelic rock, neben Beatles und Stones. c

Mid 60s rock. Not bad, by any means, and at least it's post-Clapton, but no standout tracks

I liked this. Cool little blasts of creativity.

Most interesting song here was Jeff's Boogie for sure, followed by What Do You Want. The rest was kinda meh.

It was fun to listen to some Jeff Beck guitar playing, but overall this record kind of just blends in with other rock music of the era. Best Track: Over Under Sideways Down

Možda je čudno s obzirom na bogatu povijest benda nikad nisam posluša ni jedan album yardbirdsa

Musically, great stuff. But the ‘60s is strong with this one. Think I’ve moved on from 1966 (when I was two).

i mean pretty good overall. Old rock and roll that is a good vibe! hight 3 stars

Wolt commercial music.

This is a good fun blues album, but that's all it is

Great Songs: Lost Woman, Jeff's Boogie Good Songs: Happening Ten Years Time, Psycho Daisies, Over Under Sideways Down, The Nazz Are Blue, I Can't Make Your Way, Rack Your Mind, He's Always There, Turn Into Earth, What Do You Want, Mid Songs: Farewell, Hot House Of Omagararshid, Ever Since The World Began Bad Songs:

It’s fine - Jeff Beck was so good. I have been listening to so much psychedelic/blues rock from this era, that I’ve become a little tired of it though

interesting

Not many loveable songs on here, but a spectacular blues/rock guitar is there subliminally as well as featuring on some tracks - Jeff Beck.

Good, but not terribly memorable

Great early Jeff Beck guitar work, Over Under Sideways Down being a standout song.

Ya' know, I don't think I've ever actually listened to The Yardbirds before today, or at least nothing from this album. I find this hard to believe, but I'm listening to this and it's not anything I remember. I'm liking what I'm hearing. Solid rock-blues. "Ever Since The World Began" is insanely reminiscent of Ozzy Osbourne, and seemed out of place, but was a great track. I think I would have liked this album more if it was just the original album tracks and not the extra 30 minutes of alternates and demos that were included in the Spotify album, I assume from an extended CD release.

Not what I was expecting. More blues based, which makes sense given the lineup. Very young Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page, and the playing shows that.

Nothing about this screamed "I must listen again"

One very VERY good song

Rock dos anos 60, eu gosto muito. Mas essa banda, Yardbirds, eu nunca me aprofundei apropriadamente. Sei que ela é composta de um trio fantástico de ótimos guitarristas que tiveram carreiras brilhantes depois do fim deste grupo. Ao ouvir o disco é fácil entender porquê. A musicalidade é ótima, o arquétipo de ingleses se fantasiando de americanos e tocando um blues grosseiro. As guitarras certamente roubam o show aqui, ainda mais porque o vocalista deixa um pouco a desejar. Sua presença nessas canções é minguante, e sendo assim, muitas das faixas do álbum nunca passam para além de medianas. Uma grande pena, mas como eu já havia dito, não há desperdício quando pensamos nas carreiras que esses músicos tiveram depois do desmembramento dos Yardbirds. Com efeito, é um bom disco. É interessante, é passável como mais um Rock-Blues da década de 1960. Têm seus momentos verdadeiramente fortes, e outros um tanto quanto esquecidos. Poderia ser bem melhor, e poderia ser bem pior! 3.5/5

A clear example of the older R&B tradition with the more modern electric rock vibes. Is there any other band where the vocalist is essentially an after-thought to the production line of guitarists? Anyway, I've already listened to way too much "white blokes play R&B" and this barely registered.

good ol' British blues

Meh. Clearly technically skilled people, but not sure the it worked as an album for me.

The track listing here is so weird on streaming platforms, it puts two singles that weren’t included in the original release up first. They’re fine singles on their own, short and simple, but ultimately don’t leave me wanting for more. These weren’t accounted for when rating this album, but rather for added context as others are bound to see something similar when first listening to this album. Tangent aside, the album really begins with Lost Woman, and sets the tone really well for what to expect for the rest of the album. That being said, if you’re not a fan of this song, there’s a good chance you won’t like the rest of this album. All the songs are short and get right to the point, really not wasting too much time. Farewell stands out here, being a great palette cleanser for the middle of the album. It’s short, sweet and honestly adorable, and on a Vinyl it’d mark the end of Side A on a rather tame note. By the halfway point of almost every single one of these songs however, you get a sense of “ok I get it, now what’ll they do to switch things up?” And the answer is mostly that they won’t do much to blow your mind. Songs feel repetitive as a result, and it doesn’t leave a lasting impression whatsoever. This album is solid, and for being one of the pioneers to psychedelic rock, it sets the groundwork for artists to come. Still, the album feels like it lacks the substance it needs to distinguish itself from its contemporaries, making it feel dated while still being a fine enough album.

I love a bunch of Yardbirds tunes, but I've found that whenever I look into the deeper cuts they don't do as much for me as I'd expect. This album was a bit like that. The music wasn't bad, but almost none of it really stood out. Jeff Beck's guitar playing isn't nearly as prominent as you'd expect, and a fair number of tracks have little to write home about in that department, which is strange. Don't get me wrong: there's some cool ass playing in there, but with a fucking wizard like him you'd think most songs would be a lot more centered around the guitar. "Rack My Mind" and "Jeff's Boogie" are two obvious exceptions there. Yeah, I liked this album enough to give it some more time, but the first listen and a half didn't do much for me.

Jeff beck is a solid guitarist. This album is think and lacking otherwise. Tasty morsels on white toast without any sauce.

Maybe it's just the Magilla Gorilla pose, but this album cover reminds me of the doodles in my dad's old board games (or, alternatively, the art on the "Navigator" card in Dominion). OK, time to (re)learn about who the Yardbirds are (I know they're historically significant because my friend took a 60s music class in college and was always talking about the Yardbirds, but not enough for me to learn anything about them). Ah, it's Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page (plus other less famous dudes, sorry to those guys). Though only Jeff Beck is on this album. Eric Clapton also did like 50 other things, none of which I've liked. I know nothing about Jeff Beck. I wonder if Beck is named for him. Jimmy Page may have been involved with starting Google. Or Led Zeppelin. Two great evils. The music, you say? The music is fine. A lot of guitar stuff. The songs are pretty short, which is a plus. I still don't know what a Nazz is, but I don't think it's a nickname for Jesus as Google suggests. Ultimately, this doesn't stand out. A Beatles-ified 70s rock supergroup (in 1966). Someone should make a 'I'm Henry the VIII, I Am' x 'I Can't Make Your Way' mashup. Highlight: 'Farewell' (but confusingly, not the last song)

Pretty fun album, I can dig it.

straightforward decent rock

Pretty good

Way more interested in the Yardbirds who left the nest.

I loved a few songs and would have given it a 5 for Jeff Beck's guitar skills, But the vocals on many of the tracks warranted a overall 3 rating.

Better than I thought it would be - very good, riffy, early example of garage/psych rock. First four tracks are great, but it fades a bit in the back half.

It wasn't bad actually. I thought it'd be terrible, but there's some really good riffs, also references to other styles of music. Like the guitar in Over Under feels a bit Turkish music like. A good listen overall.

Some okay stuff on here and some really cool stuff too. Lost Woman was high energy and catchy, Hot House of Omagarashid had some really interesting sides and a nice driving beat, and the guitar (?) in Over, Under, Sideways, Down (mono version) was really awesome. 2.5/5 stars.

could i write poetry to this? n

One of the iterations of the Yardbirds that doesn’t have the wow factor. Clearly the guitar work is next level, but the song choices and vocals are mediocre.

Seemed OK, if unspectacular.

This record is not really what I expected. I've never listened to Yarbirds, but I know Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page all came from this group, so I'm not really sure what I expected. But, it wound up being somewhere in between psychedelic rock and blues and brit pop. Really strange, but parts of it work. This record kinda has a rough start, but as it gets going, it gets better. And honestly, I always thought Jeff Beck was kinda boring as far as legendary guitarists go, but Roger the Engineer set me straight. Not only can he shred, but the tones he employs are pretty forward-thinking for 1966. I really enjoyed this record when they let him go nuts. All in all, this was a lot better than I expected, and I might actually revisit it at some point. 3.6/5

not bad

A bit bland in places. But I can see why they're important

Pretty cool. Great guitar but the vocals aren’t great on many songs.

Not what I expected. Not terrible Just not particularly memorable. 2.5/5 #152

Ok

First album with Beck and Page on finds a collection of tracks which don't quite hold up to the singles that came earlier. Some great blues/rock on Over, Under, Sideways, Down and He's Always That and some psychedelia on Happenings Ten Years Time Ago. Just not consistent enough to be a great album but definitely worth a listen.

Enjoyed this took me back.

I understand why this was impactful, and some points are enjoyable, but on the whole it is a bit too noodly and goofy for me. The guitar is impressive but a bit hollow.

Great guitar playing. Otherwise very basic.

Enjoyed the overall blues-rock vibes and generally a good listen but I also thought it was a bit incoherent and all over the place at times, lacked consistency and the feeling that you're listening to an album, rather than a set of rock musicians playing around.

The music was good. The lyrics, though... They are not memorable. Still, not bad.

Difficult to rate fairly given the low quality of the recording. Reasonable white boy blues.

From the Adventures of Thomas the Wank Engine

nice, too bluesy

Some toe tappers, some blah. No real bops.

I like the Yardbirds, but wasn't really feeling the psychedelic stuff on this one. They are a much better band when they are playing blues. Jeff Beck cooks on a few of these songs, which is certainly the highlight.

I always hesitate slightly when I get more psychadelic rock, but luckily this one is actually okay. It's certainly no Hendrix, but at least it's not pointless annoying bullshit, which is what 99% of late 60s psych rock feels like at this point.

The Yardbirds are a strange case. Three members of this band are now considered the some of the best, most influential guitarists of all time... but for music they wrote with other bands (Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck). Their later work really overshadowed The Yardbirds... and i kind of get why based on this album. It's not bad, it's just not distinct. It feels like generic 60s blues/psych/hard rock. It feels sooooo 60s, unmistakably 60s. In my mind, there's a huge pile of bands that sound just like this. The piss off is for the yardbirds is that they were the originators of this sound if i'm not mistaken... but then it was so influential and copied that it became cliche. I think this hurt their ability to become timeless like other more unique bands of the time (many of whom ripped them off, i'm looking at you The Doors). If you wanted to pick a cartoonishly 60s song for a movie scene, you could go with the Yardbirds. I could see Austin Powers dancing like a buffoon to their music. Anyways... enough about them in general... is this album any good? Ya, it's pretty good. I listened in Mono as the Beck intended. They're all great musicians (the bassist especially rocks... some really cool bass lines). The generic 60s vocalist guy works ok (maybe that's why they're not well remembered, they don't have a distinct vocalist). Over Under Sideways Down is one of those generic 60s songs I referenced, but it's a great one. I can't make your way is just a fun sing along with some harmonica... maybe? Hot House of Omagararshid is a cool rave up track. Love that drum beat. Jeff's Boogie is some fun Jeff Beck guitar wankery... it works cus it's under 3 minutes. The outro of Ever Since the World Began is super fun, great bass... too bad the first half of the track kinda blows. I'm probably at a 2.5 for this... but i'm going to round up. I feel bad for The Yardbirds, sorta being forgotten, stranded in the 60s... overshadowed by their guitarist. You can feel their influence in a lot of other bands, yet they are largely forgotten. I hope this 3 star rating makes up for things.

This is fine. It sounds the same as most of the rock music during that time. It's not bad, it just doesn't stand out to me at all

Jup. Dit is een blues album. Ook duidelijk een stokoud blues album! Het rockt, je hebt veel blues melodietjes en vooral Over Under Sideways Down heeft een heerlijk riffje dat door het nummer klinkt. Sowieso zijn de riffjes hetgene wat er uit springt op dit album. Msischien is dat sowieso wel een beetje waar je aan denkt bij de blues, maar het is voor mij de eerste keer dat het zo 'duidelijk' is. Nummers zijn super kort, hele album klokt denk ik nog geen 35 minuten. Maar het word wel een beetje samesy voor mij na een tijd. Daarnaast is de recording kwaliteit gewoon matig, logisch ook hoor. Album komt uit 1966, maar toch even benoemen. Prima album, heb me zeker niet geirriteerd en er waren een paar heerlijke riffjes die er best wel uitsprongen, maar overall vind ik het zeker niet goed genoeg voor 4 sterren. Het is gewoon een prima 3 sterren. FAVO: Over, Under, Sideways, Down, Hot house of Omagarashid,

Mmm. a lot of variety, kinda beatlesy but also slightly psychedelic

Considering the Yardbirds had half of the top ten guitarists of all time on the band, you would think this would have some awesome guitar. It doesn't.

I had to double take on the closer, really thought it was Ozzy for a second. Good listen, though I know Beck is a revered guitarist and nothing here stood out to me too much.

Se ha quedado desfasado, pero fue un buen disco.

Klassischer 60er-Jahre Rock, zu verspielt und anstrengend. Jeder Titel ist gleichzeitig zu simpel und zu komplex. Jedes Instrument scheint unabhängig vom Rest sein eigenes Ding zu spielen. Ein einzelner Track ist perfekt für eine Tarantino-Tanzszene, aber ab 2-3 Titel in Folge nicht mehr fein.

Really old-school rock with a sound to match the time it was made. I get the feeling it probably influenced a lot of later bands with their sound.
