"Oh, look, it's another blues rock album from the 60's". Expertly played, but oh so utterly boring. Yawn. 2/5.

Psycho Daisies 👌🏻

Great 60s rock with lots of variety. Very enjoyable!

Parts of this album are nice, and Jeff Beck is a great guitarist. But some of the songs I found myself distracted by confusion, trying to determine if the sounds I was hearing actually worked or not. Also a day later I’m finding this album was mostly forgettable.

Started strong, loved the first track, but most songs were boring.

Ok but a bit forgettable

4.5/5 , Classic. Essential listen.

Pretty standard blues/rock. It might have been groundbreaking in its release year, but it hasn't aged too badly and remains a fun listen. "The Nazz are Blue" is a highlight.

Thought I'd enjoy it more than I did as I like that period of music and have one of their live albums. Didn't know this album and found some great tracks but there were some I couldn't bear listening to by the end of the day

standard bluesy-rock shit tbh

it’s aight

Saved Prior: None Off Rip: Lost Women, Over Under Sideways Down, I Can't Make Your Way, Jeff's Boogie, He's Always There Cutting Edge: None Overall Notes: Feels like a bunch of dudes messing around in a studio, which leads to some decent fun when you're lead by Jeff Beck (for the record I liked this more than his solo album on here)

Really solid psychedelic rock. Not one song I would label as bad. The worst thing I can say about it is that it's a bit "generic music your dad plays" at times.

The Yardbirds are getting a 4/5, mainly due to how much they influenced Rock'n'Roll. Did enjoy the album generally though!

This takes me back to when I was 16. Thoroughly enjoyed listening to this album on repeat whilst walking through town. Good vibes

I had low expectations for this but I ended up quite liking some of the songs on this album.

Nothing interesting in this for me.

By coincidence this album came just after the debut album of Led Zeppelin. So it was nice to see where Jimmy Page was coming from. I think it makes even more credits for Led Zeppelins debut album as it's quite different than Yardbirds, more bluesy, less rock'n'rolly. Anyway: about this album: it sounds like a breeding ground of good ideas. It seems to have not really a concept but there are a bunch of very nice and likable ideas. It's played by immensely talented musicians, I'm not sure I like the singing much though (but that's typical 60s, e.g. Hendrix has terrible singing too). Highlights: He's Always There, Ever Since the World Began.

keep this one in the damn attic too

Always loved the yardbirds since I started listening in college but that was more singles like "over under sideways down". It was a nice blast from the past. "Jeffs Boogie" even though short and sweet still sounds amazing and Jeff Beck on the guitar would have made any band stand out. I also loved "what do you want".

3.7 - enjoyable psychedelic rock with solid guitar and vocals.

Ágætt, engir bangerar samt.

nah. not for me.

there was a time in my life i would have been all over this.

I used to collect all the birds from the yard after my milkshake brought them there. They would squawk in my ear all night as I plucked their feathers. Rough, rough stuff.

It's fine, mid-table blues inspired '60s rock n' roll with some mild psychedelia thrown in for good measure. At least it doesn't have thundercunt Clapton on it.

Interesting old album, nice to listen to.

Cross between the Beatles and the Monkees

Not bad at all.

This album is a prefect example of great musicians clicking on a great record. I wasn't super familiar of this one, but i definitely recognized a few tracks. Such a great listen.

I’m not sure if I don’t understand rock or what. Some interesting elements and diverse sounds, but otherwise just another album. Don’t really feel the flow

About all I could remember of the Yardbirds is that they had someone in their band that I knew from somewhere else. I had forgotten that the description could apply to three different members of their band (Clapton, Beck, and Page). I don't know which (if any) of those individuals were on this album. The music was fine, but nothing stood out to me enough for a second listen.

A pretty alright older album. One recognized song

Eh. It was nice and genuine, but I can't say I want to listen to it again.

Did not like

Great stuff. Great writing. Great musicianship. Fun/witty songs.

Reiterating what the critics said, this is blues trying hard to be psychedelic. It has a few great psychedelic tracks, and some blues tracks slap. Never heard of The Yardbirds, and I'm not a huge Beck fan, but hearing this, I can see why they are considered as one of the pioneers of psychedelic rock. The bass line in the first track alone reminds me of some Black Sabbath, early Pink Floyd, and Beatles stuff. Overall, an interesting album. While it has a few great tracks, it's a pretty dull album.

Ok ... bit dated ...sounds like Clapton tho,

## Notes: This is a group I always heard about but never listened to. A VERY pleasant surprise, this is blues infused early rock. Flawlessly executed with lots of great ideas and a superb sound. Don't know if the original is like this, but the one I'm listening to has 31 songs, 14 of those are mono and sound great! I see myself coming back to this album, too bad the cover is really awful, like something a bored high-school pupil will draw in it's notebook in class. I like to get vinyl that is both great to listen to as a whole piece (this album is like that) and to see at the same time, as a complete object. Sadly that part is not well executed.

The singer's voice is coming from a lake, can't understand a s***.

No Jimmy Page or Eric Clapton on this album, which is fine considering I always think of The Yardbirds as Jeff Beck's band. To compare the 3 guitar legends, it's best to liken them to the 3 greatest home run hitters in Major League Baseball history. Jimmy Page is Babe Ruth, forever deified with legendary riffs and solos. Clapton is Barry Bonds. He puts up great numbers, but he's such an asshole that it demeans his accomplishments. And Jeff Beck is Hank Aaron, the steady, consistent great who's never as flashy as Page or Clapton but overall stakes a legitimate claim as perhaps the best ever. I guess that would then make Jimi Hendrix Willie Mays (best all around player), and Eddie Van Halen is Mickey Mantle (mythical talent that was taken too soon by alcohol abuse). I could go on but we're talking about the Yardbirds here. This album is a joy. It dances with seemingly every genre available at the time, and has a sort of magic that makes it sound like it's right out of 1966 and like it could have been produced yesterday. I even ride for the bonus coverage you get with alternate versions here (especially "I Can't Make Your Way"). Right there in the 4.5 category, but "Over Under Sideways Down" is reason enough to curve up.

Ok went to North Country Brewery with Ben and Dereck, Sam liked.

Not bad but expected more

Excited about this one. And it doesn't disappoint. Like 60s psychedelic pop with more edge/proficiency. Takes some of the elements of love from Pink Floyd's first two records and focuses them more concisely. So, the lineup of this band changed a lot, I think. Right? I gotta check out more of their records. Feels like the UK equivalent of Buffalo Springfield. Like, a breeding ground of talent before artists went on to start their Big projects. The build on "Lost Women" with the harmonica and feedback is really great.

I feel like The Yardbirds lived (unfortunately) in the shadow of the Beatles and Stones and are grossly under-appreciated. To me, they are a near perfect marriage of the aforementioned bands - not to say they are better, just a sold mix of the two. The had the musical talent (song-writing aside) of the Beatles - I mean, Clapton, Page, and Beck all had stints with this group, and I could argue that the Yardbirds' Paul is every bit the bassist as the Beatles' Paul. They also had a similar prowess for incorporating interesting instrumentation and progressions. AND, they had that "dirty" blues/rock, fuck-the-establishment vibe of the Stones. Still, this is not my favorite of their albums. I'm a bigger fan of the Clapton years - no offense to Jeff Beck.

As far as average rock goes, this is pretty good.

Ambivalent

Bit of a raveup, this. A mix of blues, pop and raw garagey rock - of it's time, and you can see it as a precursor of how music would change radically over the next 18 months. A lot of fun.

This seemed like the precursor to acid rock and was an enjoyable listen

Bien. 4. Es el grupo de Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page en sus comienzos.

enjoyed this, interesting glance at non Beatles 60's. 3.8

Well, not without its merits but I don't know about "great". Went on forever - turns out I was listening to the Deluxe Edition (there's a Super Deluxe edition. Yikes). Not added.

Meh. Doesn’t stand the test of time.

This was pretty average 60's psychedelic rock. I liked a few songs, like Lost Women, The Nazz are Blue, Rack My Mind and Hot House of Omagarashid but rest of the songs were pretty forgettable.

Twas okay

People actually used to listen to crap like this. This was edging toward a one-star rating, but the last ten minutes salvaged this otherwise terrible album.

More enjoyable than I had expected.

Quite enjoyed this album. First accidentally had a very long version. I like how the actual album is short and sweet.

Like many albums on this list it was fun but not amazing. I like the artwork, though. Favourites are Lost Women, He's Always There.

Damn good album! Really neat progression of songs into one another and super interesting guitar work. Big fan.

Some good songs here. But it doesn't rise to the level of some classic albums of the era. 3.5 🌟

I love the blues/pop blend, and "Over, Under, Sideways, Down" is so good!

28. Roger the Engineer - Yardbirds 22 tracks. This is decent. I didn't know Jeff Beck, Clapton & Jimmy Paige all played guitar with Yardbirds at various times. (This was Beck playing). It's simple but punchy in a rock/blues style. 3/5.

Respect all the musicality of the Yardbirds, and this feels like a 3.5 for me, but I have to go four because I gave that to Korn yesterday and it'd feel gross.

Pleasant but entirely forgettable

Pretty disappointing. I'd heard of the Yardbirds and expected it to be a bit more gritty. Not memorable at all

La millor obra dels Yardbirds, amb Jeff Beck iniciant la seva carrera i deixant la seva emprempta en el blues rock fanagós de la major part de temes del disc. Molt bon disc, però crec que la seva etiqueta de clàssic queda ja una mica desfassada

fun blusey different 4/5

Love, Moby Grape, now this. I'm sure this is heresy to some who can pick apart the subtle nuances of these bands, but I find a lot of rock from this era to be very samey and redundant. This is probably the best album generated from this style/era so far, but this all feels like dress rehearsal. These musicians would need a few years still to break through to something actually interesting.

Best lekker, soms iets te vaag/gezocht

Klinkt fris en vrolijk voor hoe oud deze vogels eigenlijk al zijn.

Mja, ging een beetje aan mij voorbij. Iets te bluesy ook naar mijn smaak.

Lekker 60's sound. Helemaal niet verkeerd.

Leuk! En het klinkt ook niet zo oud als het is. Ik ga hier meer van luisteren.

1966 - English blues rock band

September 20, 2021 Feels like generic 60s rock. Not super into it. Vaguely like the Beatles but worse and with more blues. The stereo album was included too but I just couldn't take listening to more of this.

Great album full of near-legendary tracks.

Помойка

One of the worst mixed records I have ever heard. I can't stomach it, my left earcup is dying. From what I can hear, it's decent blues rock on the best tracks. 2/5.

Had some interesting parts

So gut wie einflussreich!

Poppig psychedelisch nicht mein fall

I liked roughly half the songs on this album. Felt like I enjoyed every other or so. They do the blues really well. I know they were pioneering Brisish psychadelic rock but their songs in thay realm don't grab me much. My favorite moment on the album is during The Nazz Are Blue when during the guitar solo (at 1:25) Jeff Beck umexpectedly holds a note and it turns into this monstrous feedback siren sound.

I'm amused by the oddness and looseness of this album but not much more than that. Holy Shit! Wait a minute... did they invent the template for Black Sabbath in the first 1:10 of "Ever since the world began"?!?! Other than that, somewhere between the sound of The Who, Kinks, and Stones from the same period with a touch more psychedelia. Kind of liked listening to the mono version more than the stereo.

Kind of boring for me, very much of the times. Not bad, but not for me.

Eric Clapton is a legend

Short, fairly generic. Maybe this is on the list for historical reasons? I mean it was okay, but nothing spectacular.

Excellent album

i am sick of blues rock

Tiene un sonido muy de invasion británica y el cierre del álbum me ha gustado mucho

It was 60's definitely. And it was catchy in places. I didn't want to rush out and buy it but it was a pleasant listen. Wouldn't mind never hearing it again though.

This album is a decent 60's psychedelic rock album by The Yardbirds. In my opinion, the songs weren't that attention grabbing, but I could tell that the band has talent.

This was fun! Liked it a lot more than the Jeff Beck Group album that came up on here previously. More experimental, more all over the place, less just straight up ripping off the blues. Fave track - "Ever Since The World Began", I reckon, but have a soft spot for "Over Under Sideways Down", "Hot House of Omagararshid" and "Jeff's Boogie" too...

Показался скучноватым. Терпел, пока слушал.

Mix of blues and 60s psychedelia. Preferred the former. Latter sounded quite dated, yet also reminiscent of more modern bands clearly influenced by it.

This was overall an enjoyable listen. A step up from the usual 60s psychedelic rock that was prevalent around this time. Not sure I'd listen again but didn't mind it while it was playing.

Jeff Beck....Wow!

Crazy guitar solos. Crazy good

Must have been cool at the time, but just awful today. Ragged, meandering, amateurish.

This is as 60s as it gets. The twang-tuning, the 'deep' lyrics...not quite for me.

Fantastic

Some good songs here. But it doesn't rise to the level of some classic albums of the era. 3.5 🌟

very catchy tunes, playful songs

well made album, but I found it kind of boring/repetitive

Good tracks all round.

Surprisingly good for something from this era. Really enjoyable album.

Lost Women. What a Bassline groove. Solid stuff. Then it goes straight into over under sideways down. It's a very very fun album. I found myself tapping my foot and grooving. Happy to have found. A few songs off this will for sure get added to a playlist for when I'm in the mood to jam.

sounds very blues inspired not as psychedelic as i expected

Old western vibe, reminds me of red dead redemption

Very 60's. Lots of creative sounds and a general feeling of hippy-ness. Not quite my cup of tea, but definitely worth listening to.

Really cool guitar work, especially when you consider that this came out in 1966.

Music history lessons are always cool

This one starts out pretty strong. I like Lost Woman a lot, Over Under Sideways Down is pretty great, The Nazz Are Blue, I Can't Make Your Way, and Rack My Mind are all pretty good. But man, the last three tracks on this just take a severe nosedive. Turn into Earth is like some bad high school poetry. Then a sort of environmental protest song? Maybe? And then a Satan=$$$ song? Hoo man. Yeah, no, those three just about tank the whole thing for me.

Kratko i slatko. I jako mi se sviđa taj njihov naziv benda, Yardbirds. Zanimljiv album od samo 35min.

Mogu reć da dost uživam u ovome. Priznajem, Hrvat sam.

A solid '60s rock album. 8.0/10

It was fine/good, but not really what I was in the mood for today. Lots of bluesy/rock-and-roll sounds, with some neat proggy/psychodelic twists. Reminiscent of the Cream tracks I don't like quite as much, but overall it seemed like something relatively enjoyable. Good cover art.

What would serve as a foundational work for the genre of rock as a whole, Roger the Engineer shows a lasting impact with several iconic tracks. That being said, the length of any current releases for it makes it difficult to truly gauge its experience as an album.

Some great arrangements. Fun bluesy album.

Pues no lo escuché todo, not even sorry. Y no es que estuviera malito, solo que es rock clásico y así. Una fórmula muy probada porque sí funciona(ba?) pero pues es eso

Would listen to this band again

Da konnte man bei Spotify nicht alles hören, oder? Die Melodie und die Gitarrensolos gefallen, der Gesang kann auch nerven. Geiles Albumcover!

Sicher wegbereitend aber leider nicht ganz so zeitlos

Interesting

2.4 star. Some nice guitar accounts for the majority of the rating. All the songs sound the same.

Not great. Band can play but the songs are weak.

Not great buts it alright

Garbage - found this really hard work

Birdshit

Unfortunately this album and band are a victim of their own success. Nearly every style of successful rock band since has copied something from their music and as a result this album sounds tired and all way too familiar. It makes it hard to rate on its merits but here goes...obviously the guitar leads of Jimmy Page are the most distinctive sound on first listen but there is a great rhythm section as well helping with the melodies. At time of release this would have been a very modern sounding album as the blend of blues and hard rock merged together seamlessly for pretty much the first time, in a commercial sense anyway, and I guess that really is what it should be scored on. So for that it gains cred, but for pure enjoyment today it is kind of old and a chore to get through. So for that it loses marks. 2 Stars

Bit rock and roll- I liked it

weird punk, feels very creative lyrics are nore important than music

60's blues/psych rock. Best Tracks: Over Under Sideways Down, The Nazz Are Blue, What Do You Want

Adorable. Way more interesting than one would expect, despite no songs I was familiar with going in.

Jeff Beck, el guitarrista de los Yardbirds, es uno de los entes creativos que elevó el rasgueo a niveles nunca antes vistos hasta el momento. Por alguna razón que yo considero cercana a la brujería negra, ha vivido a la sombra de un tal Jimmy Page, un copycat profesional de altísimo talento interpretativo que se dedicó a robar ideas, trucos, y probablemente el alma, a nuestro atribulado Jeff. Y aunque la mayoría de estas canciones quedan a medio camino entre la psicodelia y el blues semipesado, algunas veces genial, otras más bien medio meh, en todas podemos destacar la guitarra de Beck: un tono muy claro, metálico, sensual y lo suficientemente libre para estallar cualquier regla anterior. La influencia está en todos lados: los freak outs de guitarra y batería y bajo desbocados transformaron la gramática del rockandroll y la llevaron a terrenos alterados sensorialmente y también, más violentos, permitiendo que llegara después el hard rock, el blues pesado, el rock progresivo, el punk, todo. Muchos robaron de este men, primer maestro del feedback y el fuzz: Led Zeppelin, los Stooges, incluso Faust (comparren It's a Rainy Day con Hot House of Omagarashid). En fin, sugiero revisar los singles de la banda y los que sacó a mediados de los 60 el Jeff Beck (Beck's Bolero por ejemplo), hay cosas increíbles ahí.

Bit boring

good tunes. early jeff beck.

Every song rolled into the next

Tip top bluesy rock, as to be expected from such a lineup. Listened to most of the (31 track!) "album" this site sends you to and then found the original album/tracklist and listened to that, which listens sooo much better as an album.

Felt like I was listening to England’s version of The Beach Boys slash 50s band. Catchy tunes but not a fan. I did appreciate the band letting their toddlers design the album cover. Better there than drawings on the wall. Liked Lost Women and Over, Under, Sideways, Down. But then it went anther direction.

Qué bueno que al final sí lo escuché. Me gustó todo el disco, buenas percusiones, bien la guitarra, bien el bajo. Mención especial a las dos primeras canciones, muy energéticas, álbum variadito y divertido. No me lo esperaba

Nice and weird

3.3 - A dim entry in a long parade of Brits parroting American blues that's somewhat redeemed by a few fun psychedelic explorations. Middling as an album - it lacks cohesion and suffers from mediocre mixing and sound production.

Mezcla de pop-rock tranquilo. No destacan especialmente

So much of the music of this ilk sounds dated and tired, and I'm afraid that this is no exception. Jeff Beck is a fine guitarist but we don't get to hear him to his fullest advantage here, and Keith Relf is an awful singer. Still, 'Over, Under...' is good, but in 2021 I'd much rather be listening to the psych stylings of, say, Shocking Blue.

I went into this album thinking I wouldn’t like it just because I think of the Yardbirds as that old timey Everly Brothers type music. I was wrong. I enjoyed this album and mostly because of the variety in the music. The birds really felt like they were experimenting with different ways to play their instruments so that each song didn’t feel exactly the same. It was also nice how short the album was. My standouts were The Nazz are Blue and He’s Always There. The album cover is another story, however. Looks like some type of scary expressionist type drawing. I wonder which yardbird drew it or if it was one of their kids.

Rock psicodélico sesentero.

Fresh rockandroll style, with lots of progressive touches

not doing anything for me. Bluesy white guys are not my thing. The psych stuff sounds interesting but is not prevalent enough in the songs. I can see how they are historically important. standouts: Lost woman

Pienso que después de escuchar tantos álbumes rockeritos en este conteo, el Roger the Engineer no me dijo nada nuevo. Eso sí, es un viaje agradable, con sus buenos momentos como "Hot House of Omagarashid". La primera canción, "Lost Women" fue la que más me agradó al final. 7/10

Guitar at its best

A great band, underappreciated. Never heard the full album but I enjoyed it all the way, especially the blues.

Great 60s album that covers all sorts of sounds and vibes that ended up evolving into many other genres. Farewell in particular touched me a lot.

Un album que tout guitariste devrait avoir écouté dans sa vie! Un classique du genre et précurseur du Blues Rock britannique des Années 60. 5*

Rock, blues. Bastante bueno.

Kind of dad-rocky Rock and Roll. They very well might be talented, but it just sounds old and dated to me.

Thought it was going to be more psychedelic than it ended up being. However, it's some nice old-school, bluesy rock'n'roll and Jeff Beck was already a guitar-hero in the making. Interesting listen.

Good ol' Yardbirds, I know them for the song "For Your Love," and of course for incubating three legendary rock guitarists: Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, and Jimmy Page. This album is post-Clapton, pre-Page, all Beck, and you can hear him flexing his ability. There are some cool songs on here, but plenty others that feel very derivative and indistinct. Wikipedia says this is "psychedelic rock"--I'm not so sure. Maybe half the tracks are tinged with psychedelic elements (mostly the better ones), but the rest strikes me as imitative blues filler. I mean c'mon, "What Do You Want" is such an obvious rip-off of Bo Diddley's "Who Do You Love." This album comes from an era of white British rockers essentially doing cosplay of black American blues/rock artists. Beatles, Stones, Led Zeppelin, they all did it at points. At least those bands had the STONES to do covers and openly credit the pioneers. I would imagine Yardbirds evolved into psychedelia, and I'd rather hear that stuff, but this album does very little for me. Favorite tracks: Lost Woman, Hot House of Omagarashid, Over Under Sideways Down. Album art: Very creative drawing, and I love the font. Looks like it would be right at home in a Shel Silverstein or Scary Stories book. Apparently this is a doodle that one of the band members made of their engineer, Roger. I don't know if that's endearing or just plain mean. I'll leave that up to Roger, he's famous now. 2.5/5

I can dig this. Jeff Beck’s guitar tones are solid, “Over Under Sideways Down” is fun, and the album cover looks like it was drawn by Tyler Baum.

Bluesy psych that mostly reminds me of “Rubber Soul”.

Another solid classic!

British Beach Boys but not good

Psychadelic and garagey right from the start with some phat riffs. Me likey for the most part, even though that 'shoebox' sound comes off a little dated at times. Does this album ever end??

What a fun album, totally a mix of The Beach Boys, Beatles, and the clash.

Never heard of it, but struck me as inspirational for many rock albums after it.

Beatles-esque, not bad

Good variety from more traditional blues to more modern sounding songs. Doesn't really work as a complete album.

Sorry don't wanna write anything rn

Real good, nice, rock sound

Not my style, not a big fan of the vocalist

Couldn't get more proto-British 70s rock, a melange of blues, post-rockabilly and psychedelia. Kind of unfocused though

This is one of my favorite albums so far.

The wobble board sound in Hot House or Omagararshid is hilarious if you think about the dude playing it through the entire track. Jeff's Boogie is great, the stereo version of Turn Into Earth is psychedelic and very trippy with headphones on.

Blues, blues, blues. Jeff Beck can play the blues. This album was released shortly before Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin joined the band. You can tell that they loved Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, that whole Chicago Blues scene. A lot of English kids did. This album has some incredible tones for 1966 and still rips when I throw it on today. Psych Blues supergroup that split to spawn solo careers and other famous bands. Favorite song: The Nazz Are Blue Least favorite song: Hot House of Omagarashid

Fine. All rock of that era sounds basically the same. I'm sure it was more exciting at the time. Clapton's a piece of shit though

Like most pop bands of the 60s it makes sense to compare them to the Beatles; these guys aren’t more inventive or exciting.

Very cutting edge for their time.

Yeah, not bad.

great album. Lost Women has such an awesome bass grove.

good, but short

Eh, whatever, nothing caught my ears but it wasn't offensive to them either.

It's nuts that this band existed. But this list is like 90% 60#-70s classic rock and my enjoyment of this kind of music is slowly eroding. I need something different and new. Not a bad project but it's just kind of a drop in the pond, 4/8.

This is the third blues-rock album that I've had chosen in the last week, and provides an interesting contrast with the other two (Shake Your Money Maker and Cosmo's Factory). This album has a very 60s feel to it, but not in a way that is confined to any specific genre. There is a definite psychedelic influence, but there's also rockabilly and early 60s pop influences. This album at once sounds like more authentic blues than the other two but at the same time strays further away from the blues. Jeff Beck's guitar does a lot to pull this album together and make it an interesting listen. It's cool, groovy, and it goes by quickly. 4/5

Not really my kind of thing

Nice album full of psychodelic songs that work well as a whole album

Really good, see the influence to so many things

Pretty solid 60s psychedelic rock.

Kinda Beatles like, didn’t make it past the 4th song. I just have a hard time enjoying that era.

Ever since the world's began / Satan's followed every man

Solid entry. A bit pretentious at times but what do you you expect? It's The Yardbirds. Fun listen, though.

60’er rock, Jeff Beck på guitar (tidligere Clapton, Jimmy Page)

6.5/10 FT: Turn into earth

1966. Key Songs: Over Under Sideways Down, Lost Women

i like this! not enough to return to it but it was a nice listening experience. i can see the influence they had on other bands.

Dear Yardbirds, what you've just played is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent bullshit lame folk rock 60s turd album were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. 1/5.
