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
clapton who care
It’s song 2 I’m bored. “I’ve been waiting so long” man me too. For this song to be over, that is.
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
not really my vibe tbh, wouldn’t listen again
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.
zzzzz
Seigt
Yuck
1. breuu - 1.5 2. love - 1.5 3. pain - 1 4. dance - 0 5. blue - 0 6. brave - 1 7. lab - 1 8. uurong - 1.5 9. bluez - 1.5 10. take - 1.5 11. lament - 1
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
- meh
