Great opening track: "Strange Brew"
Daycent enough. Ok background music.
Cool album with a great stand out track
Big Cream fan right here. I had already heard a lot of the big tracks on here but never the full album. Had a lot of fun jamming to this one. I enjoy a little more heavy, bluesy psych rock as opposed to the more pop/folksy stylings of Love. Wouldn't say Cream is an underrated band because they are very well respected, but I feel like the heavy psych rock discussion of that era is pretty dominated by Led Zeppelin. It was just cool to hear another laudable take on the genre.
Sue says her baby-sitter used to play this record for her. It's hard to just listen to it, without factoring in who the band members were, what they went on to become, and the influence this music had on the stuff that followed. It's at the crossroads of blues rock, psychedelic rock and hard rock. Letting Ginger Baker sing wasn't the greatest idea the ever had.
Buenos ritmos. No destaca especialmente
Love me some cream.
I've probably heard "the Tale of Brave Ulysses" a million times. Never actually knew that was the name of the song.
I didn't realize that Cream was regarded as the World's first Super group given its all-star line up: Eric Clapton, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce. That much talent and ego usually means that they self-destruct and true to form Cream didn't last too long. There are some real classics on this album so it gets a solid 7/10
Never heard an entire cream album, just radio singles. I can see how this would have opened a lot of eyes. Drums are HEAVY! I get some proto-metal vibes.
This was fine 60s psych rock.
Iconic 60s psychodelic rock.. Several very recognizable tracks like Sunshine Of Your Love.
Best Cream album.
Turned out to be much better than I was expecting

Brilliant guitar. Blues is lit.
Good rock. Plain and simple
Very interesting old blues record - shows the evolution clearly of British rockers taking blues and making it something else. Several very good songs, the rest was solid, but forgettable. Fun facts about them being the first supergroup though! Wild
They 're good moments are very good, but feel there's too much filler in their work.
Pretty decent Beatles-esque psychedelic rock.
Sunshine of your love is just iconic
Good album. A few standouts and a bunch of kind of “generic” psych-rock songs (that were probably no generic at all at the time).
Tales of Brave Ulysses and SWLBR are underrated gems. Classic album. Mother's Lament is weirdddd. Slightly repetitive at some points but a great listen. 4.5.
Mother's Lament might be the best song ever.

Decent album. Too old for my taste but has its gems.
THIS ALBUM FUCKS! I actually remember linking this to Giulietti like a year ago, when i was on a 60's kick. this album is so far out there, but in the best way, and just makes you feel like you are drugs on points, lol. there are some weird fucking songs like "Mother's Lament" was fucking morbid, but the rest of the album is fucking genius.
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.
good- listened to it half while cooking a steak / half right before bed
Favorite Songs: Sunshine of Your Love, Tales of Brave Ulysses, Outside Woman Blues, Mother's Lament
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
Clapton
Had je bij moeten zijn denk ik
Great riffage and poppier overall than I expected. Will revisit with more time.
De bons titres d'autres sans plus.
It's Cream!
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
Another classic, not much more I need to say
Öde.

Not my style much. Start was good then fell off
Sorry Eric Clapton, really not doing anything for me. I can understand the significance of this record, but it was 30 mins long and felt like an hour. Not a winner chicken dinner.
Great era. Solid music
eh okay
2.5
Where's the opium den? Good jams, mellow mood.
Basically the same sound in each song. I did like the drums on one track.
There are some undeniable songs and a great rhythm section but I believe Cream are one of the more overrated “great” bands. #TeamGinger
Creamy!
I really enjoyed listening to this album. Including the strange brew, sunshine of your love, tales of brave ulysses. No overall theme, but contains good lyrics and great guitar playing.
Meh. Apart from the two most memorable songs, again a pretty generic rock album.
Enjoyed it, makes me want to listen to more cream. Sunshine of Your Love is a classic and my dad would always try to play the opening riff on guitar and this was the first time in a while I actually heard the song. Didn't think it was stellar, but I enjoyed the mixing, otherwise thought it was pretty standard, probably won't revisit but enjoyed my time with it, 5/8.
Fun British rock
Interesting album to listen to.
This album has some really great moments, but they tend to be interspersed with a lot of mundane psychedelic music. It could be that this album sounded a lot different when it first came out, but a lot of it sounds a bit dull. The vocals tend to be the least interesting part on a lot of these songs, and I think the album could have been improved with some instrumental tracks, or at least longer instrumental sections. 3/5
Good early metal album the diction is clear some of the songs a bit meh but a few great ones.
I enjoyed this. It was a different take on psych rock than the Love album. That one seemed very very 60s-70s to me. This one I think translates better today without seeming of an era (though it still is). I enjoyed Strange Brew immediately. Clapton was kind of a shitty dude.
Nice steady late 60s vibes. And shout out to guitar hero with Sunshine on Your Love, classiccc. Would listen to chill and hang out with some upbeatness. Good high too
Not great tbh
Ihan jeekkis levy
This album makes me want to drop acid. Best track: Sunshine Of Your Love.
Klassikkokamaa, mut ei sieltä parhaimmasta päästä kuitenkaan.
5/5 classic
1967. Key Songs: Sunshine Of Your Love, World Of Pain
amazing perfect legendary....
Never heard this but it's one of those bands I "should have heard already". All I really know is that it's Eric Clapton. So far seems pretty cool, nice and bluesy but with that kinda 60s psychedelic touch. I didn't know sunshine of your love was these guys. Mad hippie shit hey. I dunno, this is another one that is just too tied to a specific time - almost 20 years before I was born - for me to really judge it. It's not awful, to be fair. 3/5. Would go well on weed I guess? haha.
Good, but not amazing. Love the famous woman tone on the SG and generally the musicianship is top notch. Minus one star for the final track.
