meh
Thought it was okay at the time But Listening to it twice this morning and it left zero impression on me Would maybe revisit but not really fussed either way Okay, high 2
1,75 / 5
It was fine. I appreciate the psychedelic rock. I thought some of the song writing got lostbin the instrumentals. After a while it all blended together like a psych dream scene in a movie
A few good songs
A couple decent songs, but the album is mixed so terribly that it’s tough to listen to. The drums sound as if they were recorded through a brick wall, lacking any treble. Meanwhile, the guitar fuzz has way too much treble.
2/5 forgetable
Fine, but I'm not crazy about it. Feels like background music at a white boomer dive bar
No he tenido mucha paciencia para escucharlo. Me recordaba un poco a los rolling pero quizás equivocada. Notas diversas.
Not a big fan of some of the vocals. I think the music is fantastic. Sunshine of Your Love is Cream??? I didn’t love it? I just wanted it to rock harder.
Ungefär lika trist som Yardbirds, Derek och Traffic.
There are a few good riffs and heavy sounds on here that presage what Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin would extend in the following years. There are also some real stinkers (Blue Condition, yikes) too though, and a lot of it just middling. Brave Ulysses is decent, but basically just a first draft of White Room. Plenty of fun guitar playing, but Clapton has to the luckiest right place/right time musician - just being around as a competent blues guy when fuzz and wah-wah pedals came out and plugging into that gives him this reputation as a pioneering wizard. The falsetto vocals are so annoying. I guess they were an exciting live band that jammed these songs out beyond the confines of mid 60s blues rock - the way the bass/drums hit on here I can see how that would work, but as a studio album it doesn't really capture that thrill.
Okay album nothing crazy I haven’t seen so far
Quite disappointing after the hype, good musicianship but songs not engaging enough. Favourite track Tales of Brave Ulysses
Can barely make out the lyrics at times, bit sad. Didn't really like it either.
Annoying
Knowing what a racist jackass Eric Clapton is, it’s hard to like anything he did. This is fine, but not for me.
Are the drums in another room? A nice album, late 60s rock with a bit of psych on it. Pretty tame though. Sounds really thin though, needs a remaster to make it sound more full
Not my cup of tea. Didn’t like the voices, which were kind of all throaty altos, the music was dark & psychedelically heavy, with a lot of use of a 60’s style pedal for the guitars. Overall it just presented a dark, dated, gloomy vibe in my opinion.
Some good guitar riffs, lots of stuff that you recognize from its influence, but generally extremely not my speed.
Cool for the time but outdated today
Boring and overrated riffs
Not my kind of music but I did like a few of the songs idk what im supposed to put here it’s a good album just not my type of music ha ha
It's fine, nothing to write home about
Yet another British band with the same bland sound. Nothing new here. No notable tracks.
Psychedelic rockblues rockhard rock. No me ha llamado la atención.
Classic case of an album/band that doesn't stand up over time. I loved Cream at the time but listening to it now just makes me cringe. Juvenile, melodramatic music and Clapton has to be the most over-rated guitarist ever.
Really not my thing. I appreciate its place in music history. I can see why people like it. But it is driving me nuts and I really hate it right now. Had to stop after 4/5 songs.
Ugh. Hated it, and that twee Mother's Lament at the end was the icing on the turd cake.
My God there's a lot of psychedelic rock from the late sixties on this list. Pretty bloody awful for the most part. A couple of bearable songs on there
Listening to canonized classic rock music through this project is really interesting. As it turns out, a lot of it is not very good at all. I'm sure this album can be seen as part of rock music as a massive cultural force in the late sixties. It's just not as good as the Beatles or the Rolling Stones, as interesting as The Kinks, nor as charmingly dated as the many one hit wonders of the time. It's just an album of bluesy filler tracks of the type that is commonly found on rock albums from the late sixties and early seventies. This album deserves to be forgotten. The drumming is kind of good, but when has that ever saved an album with nothing else going for it?
Not a whole lot going on instrumental wise, which makes this very boring to me. The production is very obviously dated, listening to this in earphones made me annoyed cause I'm hearing the guitar in my left ear, and the drums in the right and I could only focus on that for the majority of the time lmao. Sunshine of your love was not that bad, like I can see why it's their top streamed song but if that's the best then I'm not optimistic to hear the rest... World of pain - also not bad Dance the night away - meh Blue condition - snoozefest Tales of brave Ulysses - okay I like this, and I especially like the lyrics. Probably the only song I'm saving from this album SWLABR - Not bad, don't particularly care for it We're going wrong - snoozefest Outside woman blues - Lol this one was interesting. I do support women's rights AND wrongs😌 Take it back - Not bad Mother's lament - jesus the strong accent is killing me 💀 That said, I don't see why this album is iconic in any way it's very mediocre
Just not for me. There were a couple of tracks I quite liked: Tales of Brave Ulysses and Take it Back. I think I need a "nice" voice to really connect with the music. There's some real fun moments though in this. Like the last track Mother's Lament.
Låter som ett gymnasieband som övar. Bra för sin tid? Säkert asviktig för musikens/rockens utveckling. Men en T-ford idag är inte så ball. Dance the night away har sköna gitarr, bitvis men låt, text å svag mjäkig sångröst (genomgående). Blue condition, ett skämt? Sen är det bara dåligt. Bästa, SWLABR Strange brew.
Good old school, reminds me of guitar hero lol
Not really a fan. The hits on the album are decent but the rest didn't move me at all.
1-2 good tracks does not an excellent album make
one banger, rest meh
Strange Brew is an ok song. Sunshine Of Your Love is a classic, but I don’t really care for this style of music. It’s seems like every band from this era played the hackneyed 3-bar blues pattern so much. Which is fine, but not that interesting 60 years later. Probably won’t listen to this one again.
Ah yes, the other side of the 1960s rock coin, now that I just defended Kick Out the Jams. I like Sunshine of Your Love well enough, but overall this is a 33-minute album that I had to take at least four breaks from listening to because it feels like interminable jam band music to me. I did also enjoy Strange Brew. I'd like to unhear Mother's Lament and SWLABR.
If the Beatles and Jimi Hendrix had sex and they would make a baby and it would come out knowing how to play songs with no melody but cool guitar and they would name it Cream
I’m sure it’s neat if you like the blues. I listened on YouTube and the mix was basic. Nice rhythms and expected guitars. Was surprised by a few songs that reminded me of early Pink Floyd.
I'm a Rush fan, but I just can't get into this album. I can see how it influenced them, but it's just not my bag.
A couple good songs, the rest is pretty boring
Only one ok song
1. Strange Brew-A bit slow for my taste. Good sound, just missing the it factor. Lacking in real emotion or force. Too mellow. Not very catchy. 2. Sunshine Of Your Love-Real classic. Great song. Still subdued, but has much more emotion to it, both in the vocals and the guitar. Catchier as well. Guitar solo adds a bit too much dead air to song, should be ever so slightly shorter. Ending is a bit weak/generic. 3. World Of Pain-Much better initial sound. Haunting vocals. Strong opening but gets repetitive as it goes on. Solo felt kind of out of place. Weak ending again, last one puttered out, this one was just a fade. 4. Dance The Night Away-Mixed feelings. The vocals/guitar sound too similar between all of these songs. They have a very similar cadence in each of them and the warbly guitar sound too much. The drummer also isn't getting to really express themself in this one, they're just providing a very basic rhythm. This one actually had a good ending though. 5. Blue Condition-Something that finally sounds different!!! I like the piano, the little hits add a lot. Reminds me of something familiar and plodding, take me down to the ball game? I think my main issue is that all of these songs are fairly repetitive and don't do much to generate different sounds across the breadth of the piece. Each one has one sound it latches onto and barely deviates from. This one didn't really have an ending, it kind of just stopped? 6. Tales Of Brave Ulysses-These songs are just boring because they don't ever surprise you other than at the start. They'll do a fake out for a few seconds at the start at most but then stick with that sound for the rest. They don't really develop as time goes on. There's also always a random guitar solo that doesn't really do anything for the song other than extend its length. It's too monotone (album as a whole). The guitar is basically the same in every song (in character if not in notes played). These feel like they could all be one longer song arbitrarily separated or a bunch of variations on the same song idea. Fade out again. Fade outs can be fine but all of these songs have had pretty lazy endings and so I'm mentioning it here. 7. SWLABR-A different sound again? So, 2/7 have had a unique sound so far. This one has real emotion in it, it's just not doing it for me for whatever reason. It's still too repetitive as well. These songs don't feel like they have any growth. Ending is still lazy but at least there is one. 8. We're Going Wrong-Oh no, we're back to the weird vocals I don't like again. These songs are all so slow. Slow songs can be good, but they need to develop, go somewhere, or do something, and these just aren't. This album in one word so far is: boring. 9. Outside Woman Blues-The guitar is actually unique again here, but once again it's just so repetitive. The repetition in these tracks would suggest extra emphasis on the lyrics but the instruments are nearly always substantially louder than the vocals and the lyrics don't really say much for the most part, which would suggest the opposite. 10. Take It Back-The harmonica adds some nice character to this one. Does this one actually develop? This one also has a much more bluesy tone than the rest of the album so far. This one actually does develop. This is the best track after Sunshine Of Your Love. This is a solid piece, although I would like to say that once again the lyrics are kind of just there in the background. Still a bit repetitive, although it has substantially more variance than the other tracks. And a solid ending. 11. Mother's Lament-Obviously a joke, but I unironically liked it more than most of the songs in the album (although I am admittedly biased in favor of songs that tell a story). Summary: A couple good songs but the album is ultimately boring and repetitive.
Nja
Not the biggest fan of this album, I think its just a bit outside my range of listening, I understand how influential and trend setting this album probably was in the 60s, but its for sure not for me. Most notably, I really liked "Sunshine of your Love", not really a surprise, that opening riff is iconic. overall I would probably give this album a 2.
Not really a fan of the 60's-70's psychedelic rock stuff. I know the first 2 songs are a couple of the "big" hits of the genre, but I will change the station/song if they come on. Maybe if I was tripping out I would enjoy, but I doubt it and won't waste my shrooms on this album to find out. There were a few songs I wasn't familiar with that I thought were decent. Tales Of Brave Ulysses leads this group, but also though Blue Condition and Take It Back were ok too. A few WTF songs in there. After a couple listens, I'm still not sure what to think of Mother's Lament. I expected more from this band. After listening, I'm lowering my expectations. Not my listening pleasure, but overall was decent. Just OK. Going with a middle of the road 2.5. Just because I doubt I will ever relisten, the scorecard will show a 2. 2 Get a haircut, hippies!
This was pretty boring tbh. Some okay stuff but as a whole...ugh. I might listen to one or two songs (one of which is Sunshine of Your Love) but probably nothing more. Album cover is iconic as fuck though. 2
One for the boomers
C Strange Brew 3 Sunshine of Your Love 3 World of Pain 3 Dance the Night Away 3 Blue Condition 2 Tales of Brave Ulysses 3 SWLABR 2 We're Going Wrong 3 Outside Woman Blues 2 Take It Back 2 Mother's Lament 1 This was okay. It was your basic boilerplate 60's psychedelic rock. I know Cream is recognized as the first supergroup, so hats off to you for that fellas.
Cash rules everything around me cream get the money dolla dolla bill y'all!!! Strange Brew the movie>>>>>Strange Brew the song! You never need to listen to Sunshine of Your Love ever again, retire that song please! I do like that complete psychopath Ginger Baker, the record Fela Kuti let him play on is dope, these guys are not doing it for me. Ok some of this white boy blues hits...
So mediocre shouldn't make the list. Its not bad just generic
Not great, few good tunes
A little Doors-y, a little Hendrix-y, too heavy & not bluesey enough for me. Also they were trying to be The Who on Mother's Lament.
Very boring
weird normal. doesn't evoke any feelings from me.
Great for the first 3 tracks. Pretty hard to listen to after that. Not my kind of lyrics, and not my kind of vocal Melodies. Guitars are incredible though.
Sunshine of your love - Gros Classique Hippie
Not a very good album in my view. A couple of good tracks but as an whole album, I wouldn't bother
Sunshine of your love is a classic but the rest isn't that good. Fun guitar licks but vocals stink!
I guess I just don’t like Cream. I don’t really like psychedelic rock. I could hear Beatles and Kinks sounds here, and I like those bands, so I’m not sure what it is about Cream I can’t latch onto. “Sunshine of Your Love” and “Tales of Brave Ulysses” had good grooves, but for a blues-inspired album, the rest of it felt thin. Any Hendrix album kicks the shit out of this. I expected so much more from such an acclaimed album.
Mostly kinda boring, but at least not the extended into 10 minute jams kind of boring - Plus, "Strange Brew" rocks and "Mother's Lament" shows that they didn't take themselves overly seriously.
Apparently one of the most overrated albums ever. This thing was super repetitive.
Outside Woman Blues wtf. Started off nice - summery vibes. Not so great overall though.
I don't know. There were some fine songs on this album. Sunshine of Your Love is obviously a great song, but even so, I found myself liking it less when I thought about it again 30 or so minutes into this album. Honestly, I just felt fortunate that the album is only 37ish minutes in length because given the time, it could have been way longer. Standouts: Strange Brew, Sunshine Of Your Love, Tales Of Brave Ulysses, Outside Woman Blues
Starts off good, but the second half makes the album feel too long. For a 30 minutes album that's embarrassing
I did not like this at all. Some people may enjoy it but I never got into it. Clapton’s guitar was great but almost every song was ruined by the vocals in my opinion.
Cool vibe to it. For 1967 it’s very impressive. But other than that didn’t really do it for me, probably had too high expectations. Sunshine of your love obvs recognisable and a tune. Didn’t really click with me other than that though.
What the fuck, man
not for me but definitely influential
This was fine, but it’s a real feat to make a half hour album feel… too long. It felt repetitive and all blended into one for me after a while.
I did play this, but was working so remember nothing much about it. Some of it, such as the opener, was already familiar, but there was nothing here to make me want to delve deeper. The product of ‘60s over-indulgence that the participants may or may not have enjoyed at the time. Hopefully more than I did.
Eric Clapton is a tool, but you can't deny either his or Ginger Baker's skill. It's a shame that the lyricism and vocals don't match.
Yet ANOTHER generic whitewashed blues... but this time with headache-inducing guitars.
Psychedelic rockblues rockhard rock. No me ha llamado la atención.
Tuntuu, että tämän levyn arvostus kumpuaa nimilistasta ja kahdesta ekasta biisistä. Niiden jälkeen levy on rehellisesti sanottuna tylsä. Yhtä sielutonta kuin supergroupit myöhemminkin, ei 60-luku tee siitä hienompaa.
Du blues rock psychédélique sans grand intérêt selon moi. Je passe.
Most of the riffs are better than half-bad, but it's a little material stretched thin, isn't it? Two for two terrible side-closers make it an easier call.
Lots of recognizable tracks on this. Eric Clapton. Sucks what he did to his own legacy.
Meh
I loved this record about 20 years ago. I was 14 and at that time older always meant better in my mind. Now after having spent a lot of time obsessing over music, I find the record rather dull now. It's just British white boys of the late 60's in typical fashion playing black American music of previous decades. I actually do appreciate a little bit of humor on the record, and Ginger Baker is otherwise an interesting drummer with background in jazz, though all the footage I've seen of him, he holds is sticks caveman style, lol. I'm not a drummer but I know a jazz drummer holding sticks like that is like a skateboarder pushing mongo. On the best tracks, Jake Bruce's bass lines are really catchy and the drumming get's in the pocket and it all snaps well into the somewhat unimaginative guitar parts. For 1967 this is way too bland to be considered great for me. In the same year that Zappa, The Velvet Underground, Captain Beefheart, and even the Beatles were doing a lot more interesting things this year. Vaccines are not harmful.
Not totally my thing
Dit klinkt voor mij als 13 in een dozijn rockmuziek. **
Yawn
Om een of andere onverklaarbare reden moet ik bij Eric altijd aan plankton denken, maar voor mij is Cream vlees noch vis!
Pretty boring, overall. I don't think I'd revisit this. Some songs are good, but the ones that aren't are really boring. 2.49/5
Boring after Sunshine… Cover art 1/5
don't do Clapton
Pues quitando el "Sunshine of Your Love" lo demás a día de hoy no me dice nada.
It's fine... just not something I'm super interested in listening to.
Me gustó más la tapa que el disco. Los dos primeros temas definen el estilo y luego todo se vuelve monótono y aburrido. Lo lúdico del último track, salva un poco a este álbum. Seguramente habrá tenido su gran impacto en aquellos años pero escucharlo hoy en día es otra cosa.
Too mellow.
Well. 4-5 songs excellent, the rest I don't really care for. Mother's Lament is incredibly annoying. Clapton is a massive clanger also.
Alright background music, all songs sound the same. I would never seek out to listen to this album specifically.
Cannot be denied pleasantness, cannot be awarded greatness. Neat production without mastery of vision; the album wants to be generous but fails to commit or transcend towards firm realisation, be it psyche/grandiosity/bluesy. Good enough songs, but no particularly honest one.
Honestly, it's a little all over the place. Just a bunch of blues riffs, a drinking song (Mother's Lament), and none of them are particularly catching except Sunshine. Clapton sucks as a human. His music and blues jams are still overrated.
Famous song on an eh album, and I don't particularly like the famous song anyway. Also, wtf is with the last song... I didn't get actively frustrated with this album so it gets a 2
It's one of these major albums that changed music. Clapton is a person who I have so many personal disagreements with that I find him a bit hard to stomach and I think his dangerous opinions will ultimately dilute his popularity as a musician.
Never rated cream. Hate Claptons falsetto. Repetitive and over lauded as a guitarist. And an A-hole. The skittering jazz drum seems wrong. Its all flat and dreary.Couple of decent tunes up front. Not a believer. 2
dunno if you can make me like clapton, man
Not bad
i just cannot force myself to find this album interesting
I will probably never not be bored by blues records. But here, the genre comes with some psychedelic sprinkles on top, which makes the music somewhat easier to bear, but not enough to really like it. 2/5
Worth a listen once, psych rock is not my jam
The supergroup Cream were indeed influential. And popular. The musicianship shown is exemplary. Sunshine of your love is the only track on this whole damm album that sticks in the memory. I remember enjoying a couple of the other tracks - no more than a couple - but not enough to have them stick in my mind. Most of it was not aggressively bad... Just meh. And for that it gets a meh score.
Is this one of those white bands who lifted all their stuff from black musicians? Kinda sounds like one of those white bands that lifted all their stuff from black musicians. Not that it's bad or they're not talented but yeah...
4 stars for music. -2 stars for Clapton, the dick
The irony in a racist stealing blues music is not lost on me. Actually kinda shit, tbh.
stuck in second
First two I enjoyed, after that I wasn’t into it.
Hey it has that riff on it. Otherwise it all blurs together a bit
I don’t give a shit about Cream. This album is surprisingly way more mellow than I thought it’d be. Point added for Sunshine of Your Love, but the rest of it is junk.
Liked a couple of songs, but that was it. I couldn't get into it.
I remember this album -- I might have owned it, or maybe friends did -- and for a time I liked some of it because when I was an early teen I was really into guitar-centric "classic rock" (as it's called these days). Cream, though, did not hold my interest for too long back then, and I never returned to it. Super-talented musicians, definitely, but the style is too psychedelic for me. I just don't really like that kind of rock.
psychedely
* Needs a remaster Some redeemable moments. Mostly passable.
I was able to push through the fact that Eric Clapton is an awful fuck of a person (separate art from the music for melanin challenged folks, I know, I know). The album was ok and I know that people love it so I’m stoked this ain’t Twitter or Facebook so that I can’t get lectured to right now, but I found it monotonous and tiring. Actually, I’m tired writing this write now.
Great hits, great sleeve, the rest of the album, less so. Ever since I heard the Ella version of Sunshine the original has seemed underwhelming.
Saved Prior: None Off Rip: World of Pain, Blue Condition, Tales Of Brave Ulysses Cutting Edge: Sunshine Of Your Love Overall Notes: ....ok? Struggling to see what the big deal is here.
Wouldn't listen to this again. Even though Cream is an iconic band, the music doesn't resonate with me.
Ok album. Fuck Eric Clapton tho
I do not like Eric Clapton
that one song
One for the musos
Weirdly difficult for me to rate. I have this possibly overly-unrealistic dislike of Eric Clapton - I feel like his solo work was and is absolute trash and the worst of lazy-middle-of-the-road so-called "rock." Also seems like a right dingus. But. I admit Cream were different - I'll give Jack Bruce all the credit to make myself feel better. "Sunshine of Your Love" is a classic that everyone knows (although the lyrics are just dumb dumb dumb but who cares) and overall there is a unique and probably for the time groundbreaking sound they had. "Tales of Brave Ulysses" is hilarious/ridiculous lyrically (wtf?) and boy did Clapton like that kind of chord progression but it's a great tune - this is one of my favourites by them. In a number of songs you can hear what I assume is Ginger Baker (drums) shouting out changes which gives those tunes a cool live-in-the-studio effect. But "sound" only goes so far, and too many of these songs are just....snoozers. "Blue Condition" sounds like a bunch of guys who were up drinking for 24 hours against their will and told to record RIGHT NOW. "We're Going Wrong" is about as accurate a song title as is on the album. I realize this is considered a classic and it's fun to hear a few of these songs again after a while but it's not something I can listen as a whole any more - Cream is an excellent "Greatest Hits" kinda band for me. Most of the songs here are just dull. 5/10 2 stars
Mother's Lament sucks and drags the whole album down 1 star. Otherwise, just average blues rock. Sunshine of Your Love is the highlight.
bardzo klasyczny rock, jednak jednocześnie bardzo przewidywalny i nudny
One good song
nice chill listening also these are some snazzy guitars we have here
Not massively impressed. Surprisingly, a bit boring. Better when Clapton is singing. Best song are the first two on the album, "Strange Brew" and "Sunshine of your Love". Downhill from there.
Boo. 2 stars
Might be a landmark album but it's muddy and uninteresting to GenX ears.
Daycent enough. Ok background music.
This was fine 60s psych rock.
Not my cup of tea. Though i have fondness for the small faces (Ogden's Nut), it doesn't work as well for me here and the psychedelic era fuzzy guitar sound doesn't hold me.
Liked the music not the vocals. Wanted to like it. Just kept wanting to skip a song.
psychedelic blues. great musicianship. I like the tracks where clapton sings lead. also appreciate that they kept it to 3 min songs instead of the usual never ending improv sessions. not an every day listen, but it does the job. 2.5
Not my cup of tea. At times I thought Jack Black might join in or Austin Powers. The lyrics were cringe at times. It was a bit too groovy - classic songs strange brew and Sunshine .. excepted. Sorry Eric and crew
Öde.
2.5
Basically the same sound in each song. I did like the drums on one track.
Not great tbh
What is difference between a baby and a bag of cocaine?
I’ve heard it before, I don’t need to spend more time with Clapton the racist
dreary, and overblown
I didn't know this album sucked so bad. Sunshine I knew and loved before, got tired of it, but it got worse as it continued. Good to know.
Can't decide if the guitar playing is like listening to a person slur their speech, or like listening to a person stutter. It's both I guess. 1 star.
This pompous, widdly guitar hippy blues-rock was dull but loses a further point for all the derivative dullness it spawned.
clapton who care
Boring!
Suckadelic
Meh
Nope. Fuck Eric Clapton.
At least I had waffles with whipped cream this morning
Tedious jazz blues.
Not feeling it, especially the last track
Woof, this sucked. The stuff that may have once been good (or at least tolerable) is absurdly overplayed and the rest is nearly unlistenable - leaden, plodding, tedious crap.
Ooohhhhh Eric Clapton is in this band? No wonder I couldn't stand this. It's just so boring and dreary, and from start to finish completely uninteresting with how the entire album just sounds exactly the same. Eric Clapton has got to be one of the most overrated musicians to have ever existed. He's often hailed as one of the greatest songwriters and guitarists of all time, but just 5 minutes of this man's music will make it obvious that the first claim is a complete load of shit, and as a guitarist I mean he's perfectly competent but I really don't see what makes him anything special.
No me gustó (la vrd me siento mal de que ninguna me llame la atención)
Pladder plade
Again not my style
ok
Really hated this one, I know sunshine of your love, never liked it. In context, no good
This is not the worst album I've ever heard. However, for a guy you would have to pull out the "Separate the art from the artist" card to defend, Eric Clapton sure is boring. Also, I just briefly checked the album lists and learned that man is involved in at least five more albums on this site. I feel violated.
Not for me
Super aburrido y agobiante
Great bass playing.
I wasn't ready to be surprised by this album, but truly was after track one: "Whimsical, catchy, not too flashy, hmm maybe Cream aren't too bad after all, doesn't seem a world away from Syd" After track two: "Well everybody in the world knows this riff. I don't love it but fair play it's clearly a big song. I wonder what will come next" Throughout the rest: "[winces] oh yeah this is more what I expected, [shivers] yikes those lyrics are embarrassing, [cringes] what is happening in this song right now? It's just drifting from one guitar flourish to the next, [winces again] yikes the original bluesmen must be turning in their graves." Final thoughts: "Cream's own Spotify bio confesses that they are overrated and Clapton is a prick. Despite some early promise, I won't be returning"
Eric Clapton is a racist piece of shit
The only song I even remotely enjoyed is (shock and surprise) the main hit. And even then I don't really care for that track that much, it's just mildly passable. So if that's the bar this album set, I can't say I enjoyed my time here
I think 60s music is just too old now. Too hippy & out of date. Hope to proven wrong on this journey.

It was ok, fun and funky but skippable.
Another one I was excited to check out since I hadn't actually listened to much of Cream beyond Sunshine... I found the majority of this album to be completely "meh" for me. Sunshing of your love was the sure high point, and I don't know how much of that is just because the riffs are so iconic in popular culture at this point. There's some other decent elements, but not something I'll be revisiting. I appreciate the guitar skills in the same way I appreciated what Megadeth was doing - high skills but not something that connected to me in the same way that others of this era have.
this album was kind of boring to me. not a fan of the high pitched elfin drugged out 60's singing in the first part of the album. Sunshine is the only song i went into this knowing. it's the only one that i wanted to listen to. i listened to it while i was driving and that made it slightly better. I kept hearing songs that I thought I was going to like that ended up annoying me. Tales of Brave Ulysses was ok. I mean, I'll take anything Homeric. SWLABR started out sounding cool and psychadelic but the words ended up bothering me We're going wrong was the best album on the track IMO. It was cool and minimalist and ominous but didn't quite seem to get there. Take it back - Clapton can't do blues like the stones or zepplin Mothers lament sounded like a monte python skit.
Oh, joy! The moment I knew had to be coming is finally here! Clapton's third gig! I sure do hope this list contains ALL of them - not the least of all his solo career! Look, I hate Eric Clapton. And nothing is going to change that. Not even the iconic riff on Sunshine of Your Love. While this is better than the Bluesbreakers and Derek and the Dominos, it's still Crapton.
At least one song I’m vaguely familiar with. I was to give this a neutral score until they introduced a harmonica into the half of this album. Then it was all down hill.
Boring! Psychedelic noodling is the worst kind of noodling.
Psychedelic garage rock with more interesting guitar work than the vocals deserve. Especially “Sunshine Of Your Love,” with its iconic guitar riff. Nothing else on the record comes close to that particular high, and it isn’t even that great of a song to begin with. I guess the bar for mediocrity was lower in the 60’s. I don't really enjoy this period or style of music .
Pff as if I'm going to listen to 33 minutes of Eric Clapton lol
Not for me. 1/5
not for me. 1.5
idk
Clapton is a racist. He's pro foxhunting. I can't separate that out. Shit album anyway.
Cream sucks, boring
Meh
Now I can say I have heard a whole Cream album. I never had before because I don't really like any of their singles that they've released. After listening to Disraeli Gears I can say for certain that I've haven't missed a thing. Pluses - Great drummer. Loud for a 3 piece. Blue Condition
So boring. And what was that last track all about?
3/10, я такое не люблю
Not for me
Has three good songs, and the rest suck. Terrible sound, even on mono, which is apparently much better than the stereo sound. Perhaps a compilation with just the singles by this band is worthwhile. D
Nope - nothing involving Eric Clapton. Google 'Eric Clapton racist rant'
это пиздец
Awful. The height of hippie hell.
Fuck Eric Clapton
Inte hört förut. Herregud vilket sömnpiller. Känner igen första två låtarna, sedan följer en kavalkad av usla låtar. De som gillar det här albumet borde ta sitt liv.
Trash
dosadno, čak i najpopularnija pesma sa albuma nije ništa spec tipa 2/3 od 10
This may be the worst of the "great albums" I've ever heard. It's honestly terrible. Strange Brew is a'ight, but it's downhill from there. I've never cared for Sunshine of Your Love, but maybe that's just me. The lyrics are hot garbage, the production lame, the songs are often just plain silly (not fun silly (aside from the last tune) just pretentious silly), and Jack Bruce's voice gives me a headache. But their worst offense is that they're fucking boring as hell. Even the hits are leaden affairs. God they're so dull. And also, fuck Eric Clapton, that white supremacist POS.
Okay, a little bit boring but save
Ugh. I hate this.
Dull
I really don‘t like this dusty pseudo spiritualistic retro sound anymore.
disraeli sucks
Sunshine of Your Love? - Great Imagine walking into a record store and passing over The Beatles, The Kinks, The Beach Boys, or Bob Dylan for this. I’d be upset in retrospect. Of course Clapton is a great technical guitarist, but there’s just nothing resembling any emotion in his playing. Outside of “Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs,” I think EC has been riding rock’s coattails to stardom. At least he did a cool Michelob commercial back in the day. He cannot hold a candle to Hendrix or his contemporaries.
-2 for e*ic c*apton (bad)
Total snoozefest. Sunshine of Your Love is OK, but totally overshadowed by Hendrix's version.
won't listen - fuck clapton
I’m just not a fan, plus PTSD on this record from college.
fuck eric clapton.
nope
Not listening to Clapton. Can't stand him. He's a racist.
Наркотики не помогли
