Disraeli Gears

A classic… I gave her the extra star cause it’s only 30+ minutes.

This is some of the music that my dad always used to play at the gym, so it's very nostalgic. I like the heavy guitar, but it can get a little boring

Música de hippies

it’s fine

Has some hits, sounds like Frank Zappa's band.

I liked a lot of the instrumentals, not huge on the vocals. I enjoyed this album being a quick fun jaunt and maybe would find it more appealing on a different day, but i wasnt finding a whole lot to really dig my teeth into. I think its cool as an early psych rock piece but not something ill be consistently jamming with

Great playing but poor writing. Seems like they're having some good English fun Highlights: "Strange Brew", "We're Going Wrong"

The first two tracks on here had me really excited! They were catchy, groovy and fun to listen to. The album lulled until I hit SWVLABR, then it lulled again. The heavier rock sound with nifty guitar and bass parts suited them more than the slower, Beatles-esque, bluesy tracks. I wouldn't listen again but it was alright! Favorite Tracks: Strange Brew Sunshine of Your Love SWLABR

I've Been Waiting So Long 1001 Albums Generator 369 (10/12/2026) Fun hard/psych rock, but nothing on the album gets anywhere close to Sunshine of Your Love. 3.5/5, rounded down to 3. Favs: Strange Brew Sunshine of Your Love SWLABR Least Fav: Mother's Lament

one of the more intellectually engaging albums i’ve listened to in a while. guitar riffs scratch that itch

Yes Clapton is talented but I don't feel a thing listening to this

Psychedelic rock, didn’t make me feel anything

Nice

Eric Clapton is lucky that A) Ginger Baker was willing to put up with him as long as he did and B) Tales of Brave Ulysses is such a great song

I was expecting to score this higher, but for all the obvious talent, this didn't do much for me. I didn't like the vocals most of the time, regardless of who it was and the last song felt self indulgent.

Solid but unspectacular

Cream are at their best playing straight up blues rock.

I find Cream quite boring for a group with psychedelic leanings. They have a very stately, stilted, mild presence that smatterings of virtuoso guitar do not remedy. They’re fighting a losing battle with me with the blues rock stuff which I don’t like even when it’s done well, but I don’t think Cream does it well. The longest half an hour of my life!

Cream got a solid 3, i like the guitar playing and psych mood but it was a bit repetetive at times

Vocal harmonies that are atypical of the genre in prominent display on this album. Amazing instrument playing by some of the best musicians the world has ever known. I was only familiar with the handful of classic rock radio staples from the album, decent enough album worth repeat listening for sure.

303. ok

Normally psychedelic stuff doesn’t do it for me. I always feel like I don’t do enough drugs to really get the music I’m listening to. I think this album might be the exception. I found the songs catchy and enjoyable. I can’t say I knew how much Clapton sucks now, nor do I think he sounds like the greatest guitarist ever. But the whole package works together and that’s enough.

album: disraeli gears artist: cream (recommended by the 1001 albums generator) released: november 2nd, 1967 date: october 8th, 2026 rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ favorite song: the album is kind of redundant sounding, so it is hard to pick a favorite, but “strange brew” and “world of pain” caught my eye initially favorite moment: i love the raw sound of the album in a nutshell: if the rolling stones and david bowie had a chill-rock baby is the best way i can describe this when to listen: good background chill rock album. if you want a similar vibe to “cold sweat” by jame brown. imagine you are a pilot walking into the dive bar like that scene of miles teller in top gun: maverick would recommend? yes thoughts: the vibes of this album are just great. truly, the best way i can describe the feeling is rooster walking into the bar at the beginning of top gun: maverick with that swagger. 60s/70s walking into a bar vibes for sure.

Amazing album, would rate 4.5 but just rounded up

Some good old fashioned Clapton. Hard to beat. Overall the album wasn’t really for me (learned really heavily into the groovy sixties, which is fine, but got old fairly quickly) but it’s hard to deny the skill

Started so strong but after the first couple songs it fell off for me

I had never felt the urge to go listen to Cream out of a dislike of Eric Clapton, but this is a genuinely solid bluesy psychedelic rock album. Some songs like Blue Condition are noticeably weaker than others, but there is a lot to like here.

A solid piece of psychadelia with some bluesy influence to shake things up a little. Didn’t leave a huge impression on me but great for background music.

Funky, creamy, groovy.

Great album. Ginger Baker kills it on the drums.

Sunshine of Your Love is the clear high point. I like a little more theatrics to my blues stuff I guess.

Sunshine of your Love will always be a psychedelic great. Tales of Brave Ulysses was an underdog hit for me, probably in part thanks to it having the riff of White Room involved. Pretty solid album of the era and genre, just a shame what became of Clapton.

As far as psychedelic album art goes, this is very difficult to beat. This album hits on a lot of very interesting and innovative ideas, but I feel like it doesn't 100% commit to all of them. I think it's a great album, but it came out in a year stacked with great albums and it comes up a little short in comparison to them. It's a worthy enough album, and I'd definitely come back to it. Favorite track: "Tales of Brave Ulysses"

some exceptional tracks and a few meh

Sound: Heavy, psychedelic Lyrics: Surreal, mythic Highs: "Sunshine of Your Love," "World of Pain," "SWLABR" Lows: Meandering blues jams

Fav song: Sunshine Of Your Love

I've never got the fuss with this album

Apparently I love dad rock

I've never been mad for Clapton, I wouldn't this helped but I appreciate it. A bit like zeppelin I it has those simple blues tracks that help you trace the origin. I'm sure for some it's a classic. 3/5

Some big hits on this. Although the rest of the album takes a few listens to, to appreciate fully. The mothers lament thing at the end knocks a point off for me.

Two great tracks open the album, but nothing else is particularly memorable.

Dated, but contains some old classics.

Ok.

There was something comforting and familiar about this album, aside from the singles I knew. It was like I've heard it all before, and it takes me back to a dreamier time

The singer’s voice is DULL. Instrumentally not terrible, but, as a whole, this isn’t particularly engaging to me.

This is a great album, I just don’t think I’m that big of a Eric Clapton guy. I loved strange brew.

ok

Great listen with some classic Cream songs, 3.5 up to 4 because I actually want to listen again versus the last 2

Звучит и архаично и современно, бедная аранжировка, которую интересно послушать. Старый грязный звук, который увлекает.

This was among the favorite albums of my youth. I played it endlessly. Four decades later, it’s still amazing! But I’m less tolerant of the weaker tracks than i was in my teens. I don’t know why most British bands of this period felt they needed to write and record new bar drinking sing-alongs. Were they supposed to be funny? They’re generally not good tracks and totally take the listener out of the album’s vibe (which, in this case, is sublime). “Blue Condition” and “Mother’s Lament” take this album down a notch, but it’s still a 4.

It was ok, one classic and nothing else that blew me away. The last track sounded like it belonged in Monty Python.

I've listened and enjoyed to this album in many times in my life, since highschool up to my early 40s now. Great fun listen, great musicianship from all 3 players. The guitar is creative, the bass is destructive, the drums are always unique. Too short for a perfect rating, leaves wanting more.

Album : 31/1089 Songs known going in 1 Favourite song : Dance the night away Cover Art : its a lot but i like the colours Rating 3/5

Clapton has always been one of the most overhyped guitarists in the history of rock. That being said, I didn't hate this at all.

Psych rock with a whole sense of Steely Dan-type smoothness across the album, sounds nice

Nice rock album. (Listened to it on Vinyl)

This is a magnificent album, and one of those records that truly shaped me both as a musician and a listener. I love every single track, both on its own and as part of the whole experience. I'm certain that if someone wiped out all the music on Earth, left me with only Disraeli Gears, and forced me to listen to it every single day for the rest of my life—well, it would suck, but I’d still be vibing and discovering something new in this record. 1,000 out of five stars. And of course, a huge shoutout to Ginger Baker—what a talent!

Fire

I understand the significance, but this is to 60s pop psychedalia with not enough blues

Never been into Cream. I get why it’s on the list, but their albums always leave me cold. Maybe you had to be there…. 2

"Sunshine Of Your Love" is one of the best rock songs of all-time, fact, rest of this album lives nowhere near that bar however, if this album is here then hopefully "Wheels of Fire" is a part of the 1001

Perfectly good blues rock, with some incredibly creative guitar playing. Say what I will about Eric Clapton, but the man *can* play. And his work with Cream is probably his best work (in my opinion). Anyways, a lot of these songs are really enjoyable hard rock/proto metal. Sunshine of your love is almost certainly the best song here; just bask in that riff. But this album really isn't slacking overall. It's not one I have a lot to say about, but Disraeli Gears is pretty great.

Solid psych rock

oh.my.god. My grandpa would LOVE this album, it will definitely go to my *playlist my grandpa would listen to* playlist!!! 3 stars

3.5/5

Strange Brew and Sunshine Of Your Love are doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

Sunshine Of Your Love is the song that most people would recognise from this album and with good reason. The album is pretty unremarkable otherwise apart from whatever the final song is supposed to be.

60s psych rock. Standard fare.

will relisten, but I like it

Hard to see what the fuss was about here. Kind of dull.

Nice album to relax to, good and chill songs

Decent blues/psych rock, although honestly a bit derivative. Ginger Baker's drumming is a standout.

Great guitar tone. Quite trippy but still really bluesy.

Loce this kind of music, and some Cream songs, but I just feel overall this album is a little overrated. First two songs are good but doesn't really get going after that. Some nice outros on a couple songs but they fade out just as the solo gets going. Bit of a shame to listen to but not all bad. Favourite tracks: Sunshine Of Your Love, Strange Brew

First Listen Favorites: Sunshine Of Your Love Strange Brew SWLABR Honorable Mentions: Outside Woman Blues

Terrible mix. Should be remastered

Good classic rock

Enjoyable, but not as cool as its art.

I expected this to be more prog rock than it actually was. I didn’t love it but I enjoyed quite a few of the tracks. The first two tracks and Outside Women Blues are my three faves.

“Outside my window is a tree” En dat voor 10.000 keer aanhoren in world of pain.

elevator music core? idk nothing special

Tooo long wtffd

This is one of those records I’ve heard a million times and it still doesn’t quite work for me. Couple of great tracks though

It's Cream. You know...

😃

It's a pretty great album from that time. Great rock sounds. Could've been a 4 star but had to take a star off cos Eric Clapton has gone on to be a bit of a dingus

Can hear the influence on bands like Queens of the Stone Age and Black Mountain.

This album is concentrated 60s psychedelia.

Arguably their best album, what an incredible band.

is purfect

3.5/5

I very much enjoyed this album and liked the style they were going for. It also didn't overstay its welcome and ended on a funny note.

This is a good album, but it wasn't as good as Wheels Of Fire. I went in with the expectations that it would be just as good, and felt a little disappointed. Still, though, I can't complain. This is a good album.

Funky, psychedelic blues. Nice.

Man, Clapton was so much more interesting a player before he went solo. There’s some great music on here, most of it from psychotic genius Ginger Baker, but I just can’t vibe with the vocals or the lyrics. Just doesn’t feel as elevated as the tunes, my dude.

nice album, wöri vlt weder lose aber has ned de bibliothek hinzuegfüegt. esch eif chill gsi zum lose aber halt ewie ned so mega mini musig und keis lied het mi meeega catch. au ned die 2 wo sehr bekannt send

Sunshine Of Your Love

I thought this was fine. It feels like I should like it more, but it feels like my loss. Oh well.

Tbh could do without Eric Clapton cause he sucks, but still a solid album from a tumultuous band. Can definitely see how this influenced a LOT of folks afterwards with Ginger Baker's drumming, Clapton's guitar and Bruce's wild ass vocals. Those falsettos mixed with the two reeeeeally tie it all together.

It has the same sound throughout the entire album and to be honest I already forgot everything on it. 5/10
