Reviews (page 13 of 13)
There's a level of complacent pomposity to this that made listening a chore for me. I'd certainly heard the hits-- "Layla" and "Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad," but their isolation when heard on the radio kept it from being too overbearing. This sounds like it was produced to recreate the feel of an arena performance. Not a favorite.
Time has not been kind to Richard Dawkins. Neither has it treated his ideas gently. The meme, in Dawkins’ original sense, was a cultural gene - an idea that replicates itself through imitation. The irony is that the concept itself has now been consumed by the very logic it described. What once named the process by which culture reproduces has become a symptom of it: the meme as cartoon, as content, as joke template. Yet the original notion still tells us something about how culture persists after belief has drained away. Memes rarely exist in isolation. They cluster into what Dawkins called meme complexes - networks of mutually reinforcing ideas that keep one another alive. A religion, for instance, is a meme complex: a set of interlocking rituals and prohibitions that endure long after their original meanings have been forgotten. “Fish on Friday” is a faint echo of that structure, a half-remembered practice carried out by cultural inertia rather than conviction. The ritual continues because it once mattered, not because it still does. No one remembers why. Pop culture works the same way. It is full of half-dead memes performing themselves. Think of Beethoven’s Fifth Symphony: its opening da-da-da-DUM has outgrown the work that birthed it, surviving as shorthand for destiny, triumph, or doom. The symphony remains the best host for the motif, but the meme has long since crawled away. For most of the world, the rest of the composition is merely scaffolding for that four-note invocation. So too with Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. The title tells us everything: a dominant meme and its attending parasites. Layla is the living idea; the “Other Assorted Love Songs” are the relics, the forgotten devotional fragments orbiting it. Yet even within Layla itself, the logic of the meme complex persists. The riff - that ecstatic, spiralling phrase - was not even Eric Clapton’s. It was Duane Allman’s. Allman’s line is the animating principle, the piece of vital energy that keeps the rest of Clapton’s dull song - and the entire project - alive. Just as the Other Assorteds feed on Layla, Layla feeds on Allman’s riff: a flock of flukes sucking at the juice of four bars. When I first heard it, in a Vauxhall Astra advert in 1989, the riff was already a ghost: detached from its origin, living on as pure affect. Returning to the song reveals how much it props up. The verses are awkward, the chorus a mere superimposition on the riff, the coda shapeless indulgence. The riff carries everything. It is the selfish meme - the gene that refuses to die, sustaining even what should have fallen away. Clapton’s Unplugged version from 1992 completes the cycle of parasitism. He slows the song down, drains it of urgency, and reabsorbs Allman’s vitality into the Clapton brand. Perhaps this is how he always imagined it: retooled for the corporate Clapton of the 1990s. Either way, it exists only because of Allman’s riff. It is Layla only in the sense that Allman made Layla matter. What was once ecstatic has become tasteful; what was once desperate has become self-consciously authentic. That riff never belonged in a love song - too showy, too high-octane. It belongs in a car advert. But that is the logic of capitalism itself: subsuming the subversive, repackaging intensity as nostalgia. Allman’s riff survives, but only as a museum exhibit, a fossil of emotion presented as content. Religious practice persists in the same way. Belief has long since gone, but the gestures remain: the mantilla worn to mass, the fish on Friday, the hand raised in benediction. Layla endures like that - a ritual emptied of conviction, repeated because it must be repeated. Time hasn't been kind to Eric Clapton either. And he himself has become a meme: a symbol of Boomer exhaustion, of blues reduced to brand identity. His reactionary drift feels less like a choice than a symptom - a man becoming the cliché his music already predicted. The memeplex eats its creator, as capital always does. As his reputation decays, the question is whether Layla & Other Assorted Love Songs - or rather, Allman’s riff - can survive him. Can those four bars continue to circulate as a free-floating fragment, detached from its origin, a surviving meme in a dead cultural ecosystem? Here it all is again on a list of “1001 Albums To Listen To Before You Die,” when albums themselves have died. But the truth is that the compilers don't want you to hear the album. They don't want you to hear Derek & the Dominos even. But the ritual of putting on a record remains because they don't know what else to do. The album and the band exist now only as complexes to sustain the longevity of the riff. However, if you want to experience it properly, there is an 1989 ad for a Vauxhall Astra on YouTube. 0.5 Ignoring the two lumbering blues bores here - Key to the Highway and Have You Ever Loved… - at a profit of 16 minutes, we are left with material that mainly recalls late Beatles and the first two albums by The Band. Despite their apprenticeship with George Harrison, Derek et al can’t match the imagination and sonic variety of Abbey Road. Despite having admirable musicianship they don’t produce anything as elegant as the music of the Brown album. The guitars noodle constantly but very little is memorable. Then there’s Little Wing. Hendrix‘s original, 2 1/2 minutes long, is full of uniquely mesmerising guitar lines. This version, 5 minutes long, hasn‘t a lick worth hearing. It replaces the relaxed intimacy of Hendrix‘s vocal with a double-act of harmonised hollering and the freedom of Hendrix‘s mellifluous melody is wrestled into a much more conventional rhythm. It is an ignorant, awkward piece of butchery. 1.5/5
Nicht meine Tasse Tee
👎
Boring
Meh
Listened to the first four tracks and didn't care to listen to the rest. I think I liked 'Layla' at some point though.
I can't. It gave me great anxiety seeing Discs 1, 2, 3, and 4. It's a lot. 40 songs. The music doesn't resonate with me.
This one hurts as it's so, so, incredibly good, but delivered by a racist, chauvinistic, cruel piece of shit.
Music for bores who like instruments more than they like songs.
Eric Clapton is a POS.
Often hailed as Eric Clapton's greatest musical achievement, which is why I’m giving it a generous 1 out of 5. It’s a complete pile of shit. I hope to never have to listen to this again.
Tame and meandering. Not my vibe. Too fucking long as well.
First impression pre listen: I physically groaned when I first saw this generated this morning. I cannot say I'm the biggest Clapton fan to begin with, and then I saw how long this thing was. I genuinely fear for my sanity. I know Layla has some iconic moments, but there's also a lot of cringe associated with that song. The other songs I've heard from this project were totally forgettable. Hoping it has some redeeming factors despite Clapton being a twat. My expectations are however quite low. Individual track notes: I Looked Away Is every song on this album about thirsting for someone elses wife? If that's the case I'm gonna lose my mind. It's a middle of the road 70's blues rock song. Nothing special, though nothing unpleasant. Average. 2.5/5 Bell Bottom Blues Very dramatic, but also extremely sleazy. Kinda annoying. Whiny lyrics. Decent bluesy guitar solo. The main chorus melody sort of works, but it's kinda ruined by the lyrics. Dislike. 2/5 Keep On Growing Decent tempo, I can kinda get into the groove of this. Does get a bit messy though. Feels sort of pandering. Noodly and aimless guitar. I'm rapidly losing braincells listening to this. Insufferable. Goes on for way too long with just painfully pointless waffling. Strongly dislike. 1.5/5 Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out Boring and uninspired take on a blues standard. Doesn't do anything interesting with it. Gentrified and pandering. At leadt the song itself is pretty well written. Dislike. 2/5 I Am Yours Snoozefest. I don't wanna hear Clapton on something like this. He's too much of an unlikable prick to pull something intimate or romantic off. Terrible distracting percussion as well. Awful. 1/5 Anyday Certainly one of the songs of all time. Has a lot of guitar wankery and over the top vocals that almost sound like parody. What's the point of this? Should've stayed in 1970's. Awful. 1/5 Key To The Highway 9 minutes of Clapton butchering a blues song? Wanking off his guitar and stroking his own ego. What is the actual point of this shit. Get on with it... Awful. 1/5 Tell The Truth Everything on this album has been awful tl the point where the awfulness of each song just blends into the next one. I don't like saying this, but everything here literally sounds the same. Circlejerking guitar and unitelligible rambly vocals. It also somehow manages to sound generic as well. Sounds like a parody of the early 70's. Awful. 1/5 Why Does Love Have To Be So Sad? And the award for the worst song title in history goes to... Got nothing else to say. At least it's a bit different in terms of tempo and style. Strongly dislike. 1.5/5 Have You Ever Loved A Woman? What is there even to be said at this point? Derivative and soulless. More pointless guitar noodling. Awful. 1/5 Little Wing Go listen to Hendrix instead. There's nothing to be gained from aknowledging this version's existence. Honestly kinda painful to listen to. Awful 1/5 It's Too Late Unlikable and boring. Predictable as always. Losing my mind. Awful. 1/5 Layla Okay here comes the big one. I have to admit that the guitar riff is very good and it does have an iconic aura around it. Too bad that's the only likable part of the song. However the lyrics and all the story surrounding it sort of ruins the song for me. At least it sounds okay. The ending piano part is great because I don't have to listen to Clapton's wailing for a few minutes even if it goes on for way too long! Fine. 3/5 Thorn Tree In The Garden No thank you. Don't like anything that's going on here. Awful vocals. Bland instrumental. At least it isn't annoying. Strongly dislike. 1.5/5 Final Review I don't even want to give this a proper review, but I'll do my best. It's a tedious circlejerk where Clapton butchers songs made by much more talented people than him. He also attempts writing his own songs on here, but they are just as ego driven and insufferable as his noodly guitar playing and unsubtle and sleazy vocals. It drains the soul out of you with terrible, over the top, nightmarish guitar stylizations that end up going on way past their welcome. The reason "Layla" is the track advertised in the album's title is because it's the only remotely listenable song on this album. And even that song is a cringefest all of its own. One of the most insufferable and unlikable albums I've ever heard. At its best it bores you to sleep, and at its worst it makes you wanna listen to nails on a chalkboard instead to drown out the second hand embarassment you get from listening to this album. Would genuinely be a waste of space in a landfill. On a positive note most of the songs he's made cover versions of on here are pretty good in their untarnished states, so if you have the time go check them out. I'd suggest you skip this one and spare yourself the pain of having to waste 1 hour and 16 minutes on this pile of crap. 1/5
Shite
First listen
How many rapid fire guitar solo weepy blues ripoff rock songs with some Brit singing about how a lady he loves so much doesn’t love him - even though she is actually his best friend‘s wife who he will divorce a few years later - do we have to hear? I would hope the answer would have been none, but apparently there’s a whole crap load of them and bunch are on this album. An hour and sixteen minutes of “poor me” songs is an hour and seventeen minutes too much for poor me.
I listened to a song I don’t like this voice
I’d never listened to this album before - it sounds like a parody. I can see why Layla is the famous one - the first half of the song bursts out of the album as if it’s trying to escape, only then to be dragged back in by the second half, an interminable lump of nothing nailed on seemingly to remind the listener just how excruciating the album actually is..
Garbage.
Actually quite liked a lot of this, but apparently Clapton is a wanker, so 1 star!
clapton is a fascist and the least talented of the yardbirds alum.
I can get why someone would like this album, but not me. Songs could use to either be cut in half or removed completed. It's an incredibly long, boring, and self-indulgent album about betraying your best friend. There's some great sounds and musician work here, though.
I don't like this song because it has no words. I would not recommend this song. I don't like this song because the beat is not good. I would not recommend this song.
the first song is okay like what are these songs
Unlistenable boring drivel.
Nope.
Listened Before? N Fuck Eric Clapton. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: None because fuck clapton.
- phew, schwer zu sagen, es hatte seine Längen und für mich hat nicht wirklich etwas herausgestochen - war zwischendurch manchmal etwas genervt von einigen Passagen
This is the 80th album I’m rating. I’ve heard some good things about the album but I don’t really know what this album sounds like. Adding to my Playlist - I Looked Away, Bell Bottom Blues, and Key to the Highway. Not Adding to my Playlist - Keep On Growing, Nobody Knows You When You’re Down and Out, I am Yours, Anyday, Tell the Truth, Why Does Love Got to be so Sad?, Have You Ever Loved a Woman, Little Wing, It’s Too Late, Layla, and Thorn Tree in the Garden. All in all I liked 3/14 songs. This is definitely not one of the best albums of all time. This is why every single music critic should be tortured to death.
When I have to review an album that's connected to Eric Clapton in any way, I immediately get in a bad mood. I just can't stand that guy. One of the best guitarists, maybe. But as a person, I don't like him. And then the celebrated song "Layla" says a lot about Clapton. Maybe I'm doing "Derek & The Dominos" an injustice here. Nonsense, they're not even a real band, just a project, or whatever. Throw that shit away and we'll never talk about it again.
There was a moment when listening to this when I almost DNFed. But then I convinced myself that if I could make it through Nirvana, I could make it through the most dad of the dad early 1970s rock.
Shite
i am not enough of a zoomer fuckhead to deny that "Layla" is very good. arguably, it's Clapton's finest moment as a songwriter/guitar player, and the contrast between the two sections of the song serve as a mild stroke of genius. i could play the stickler and claim Jim Gordon deserves the credit, but no, he doesn't. this is Clapton's song, it's his win, he can take it. i am being genuine and honest when i say "Layla" does not suck. the hour plus of album before it? fuck off. never have i been more lulled into not paying attention to an album that demands careful listening than "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs". if it's not a very weaksauce cover of a blues standard, it's an equally forgettable original track with poor mixing and nothing to differentiate itself from the surrounding efforts. people say Duane Allman kicks Clapton's ass on his own album, but if pressed i couldn't tell you who was playing what; halfway through i felt like i was being lowered into a boiling pot of guitar licks and 12 bar struts. i could make a case for the "Little Wing" cover, but if given the choice between listening to this version and Hendrix's version, i'm obviously going to pick the latter. maybe i could make a case for "Bell Bottom Blues", which has a very nice chorus. it's a shame the pre-chorus uses this god awful tabla to bring us into it, just sort of going "bwoong" over an otherwise strong part of the song. if just one, ONE other song didn't have something that sabotaged itself, i would consider giving the record a D. no dice. it really is just "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs". at the very least, they could have put it in that order.
This album is approximately 19 hours long or at least that's how I felt listening to it
Holy cultural appropriation Batman! This is the musical equivalent to all that Egyptian shit in British museums.
Fuck you Eric Clapton
I wanted to finish this album but I couldn’t, it was so grating to my ears and did not like any song.
Album - Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs Artist - Derek and The Dominos Release - 1970 Heard it before? - N Heard OF it before? - Y When discussing a controversial musician, one must ask, "Is it worth it?" Is the art good enough to consider separation from the artist? Think Kanye West, Morrissey, Chris Brown etc. Personally, I think that the quality of ones art should never excuse and diminish their wrongdoings. I used Kanye and Morrissey as examples, and I enjoy both artists but their views do greatly discern me and I have no sympathy for them as people. All of this to say that I think there is no greater example of controversy diminishing artistic appeal than this album. It is 76 minutes of Eric Clapton's trite white blues scratch nonsense. If there was any album that coined boomer rockist pretentions, it was Layla. It feels like background music from Forrest Gump in the worst way, (no hate to the Forrest Gump soundtrack,) and only the title track and the circumstances surrounding it's existence can give this an additional point rounded down. Also, Robert Christgau, I'm ashamed. 2/10
I wanted to like this album. I thought the album cover was pretty cool, so I definitely had a favourable impression of this music going in. However, whatever merit these songs have on an individual level is destroyed by how excruciating the album's length is and how much the songs blend together. Really didn't feel this one.
It was ok? Didn't make it through the whole album
Yuck
Bland album from an awful human being.
Jan 4th - listen to a few songs, meh. Heard the main guy is racist, so I’ll pass.
gross
Probably should have given it more of a dedicated listen.
Welp... didn't think we'd be dethroning Fairpoint Convention so quickly, but here we are... Before today, I had never been so relieved by YouTube's intrusive ad practices. I almost quit this one several times, but the challenge IS to listen to these albums before you die... even when they try their categorical best to kill you before you can... Everything from the vocals to the guitars seemed to be pathetically and PAINFULLY whining "boo friggin' hoo". It's as if someone managed to harness the dark acoustic energy of Fran Drescher and channeled it into an album. Unnecessary.
Lots of good playing going on, no doubt but the whole endeavour leaves me a little cold. It wasn't an hit at the time of original release and I'm not sure this is a classic in anyway. Pretty poor
I like Bell Bottom Blues, but can listen to any of a number of covers, so no need to listen to this album again.
Bloody fucking fart of an album.
Pure unnecessary wank. endless cheesy solos, no real heart or emotion—just a lot of technical skill that ends up feeling empty. Instead of something memorable, it’s more of an ego trip. Eric Clapton = most overrated guitarist ever. Fuck right off. Second worst concert I have ever been to.
The first CD my family was ever given (my parents bought their first a CD player so they could listen to it!) was Eric Clapton unplugged, featuring my favourite version of Layla. Aside from Clapton by all accounts bring a turd of a person (which is why I no longer listen to Layla by choice), this album possibly the longest wank with no happy ending on this challenge so far. They’re trying so hard, you can actually hear them chafing.
It was meh
You know how there's overrated talents? People regarded and loved and they may be talented, but not as much as what everyone makes them out to be? Some say Dimebag Darrell Abbott is one of those. I'd say he was definitely talented, but part of that talent was ripping off Exhorder. Eric Clapton, however, is definitely overrated. And a piece of shit.
Super overrated blues. Borderline soulless. So many better artists if you want to hear this style played with actual heart.
Sounds like a pretty good bar band, outside of Layla -- there didn't really seem to be any really memorable songs -- maybe it was just my mood.
Das einzige gute Lied ist Layla. Das wird ja eigentlich auch schon mit dem Titel gesagt. Für Liebeslieder sind die anderem Lieder ziemlich kalt und emotionslos.
not for me but alright in the background :)
There's provably at least a dozen bands local to me that have better blues rock than this, and I would much rather listen to them perform live than sit through this again.
well, that's 75 minutes i'll never get back. at least listening to this confirmed that layla is the only decent song clapton ever wrote. the duane allman guitar bits were interesting for a while, but I can only listen to them for so long. otherwise this is just masturbatory blues noodling by a racist antivaxxer chud that doesn't deserve the respect he's earned and subsequently pissed away over the years. into the one-star jail he goes to join his ilk: kanye, kid rock, marilyn manson, et al.
Eric Clapton spouts boring and ridiculous drivel, with a severe lack of emotional intelligence. Not only in real life, but also on this album. It really is "Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs", in the sense that Layla is the only real takeaway here, and even that song isn't anywhere near amazing. And even at that point, it makes less than 10% of the album. The vast majority of everything else here is really basic blues rock with uninteresting production and, in parts, stupidly overlong. I've always used "this album is just this song and a few others" as an insult but it's quite literally on the label here. I will never understand why so many of these classic rock albums gain classic status just from having one or two mediocre songs that still get played on rock radio from time to time, because there's nothing surprising here or really even that engaging. And I don't know if there's anything I could dislike in an album more than that. 2/10
peepee poopoo
Fuck Eric Clapton
SO BORING
My god, how do you fuck up Little Wing so badly? Little Wing is perfect because it’s understated, because it’s soft and pretty, because Jimi’s delivery imbues the song with a sense of true love, a sense that he can’t quite express himself properly through his words, and so lets loose with the most beautiful, most heartbreaking guitar solo ever. You don’t turn it into this lumbering cod blues jam, you don’t make it big and loud as a way of expressing mY eMoTiOnS!! It’s emotional enough already, and it’s a song about love you fucking moron, not heartbreak! Jesus, how fucking badly can you fuck something up. I was going to be charitable, because I like the song Layla, because it’s one of the few on the album that has a recognisable riff and structure, and the rest of the albums crime is mostly just being boring. But fuck me, ruining one of my favourite songs is a sure way of getting onto my shitlist, not that Clapton needed any help getting on there in the first place. Fuck you Eric Clapton. Fuck you and your whole schtick, your fucking sell out, cod reggae, boring white boomer music. Even when you were electric, you were fucking boring. Hendrix is God, and was and always will be 100 times cooler, more talented and better remembered than you ever will be. Eat shit and die
Clapton is a pretentious idiot
There are some surprisingly sweet love songs on the album yet the songs' catchy rhythms struggle to exist under waaaaay too much squealing blues guitar noodling and unfortunate vocal performances. Layla sucks and Eric Clapton sucks.
Only really Layla stood out for me. Skipped a lot of them
To my ears, this is unimaginative, overlong, boring blues rock. There's one all-timer on here. The rest feels like I'm at a bar with a sticky floor where the resident band is playing covers for people who aren't listening. Sure, they're good musicians, but I was ready to pay my tab and go home about forty minutes ago. Highlight: Layla
eric clapton
Too old
I didn’t like this. It seemed like something that you’d hear at an open mic night rather than some all time album.
Boring as hell, Layla and Bell Bottom Blues are the only songs that don't overstay their welcome
Not what I was in the mood for
Clapton is a cunt.
Don’t listen to racists.
I’ll never pass up the chance to give Clapton one star
Snoozefest except for Layla. 1/5
bad boring bollucks
This album was grown in a laboratory specifically to piss me off, and it’s incredible this has been chosen as my first album. I hate blues riffing, I hate uninteresting production and engineering. These songs feel interminably long and meandering, there’s a 9 minute long song that just blues riffs in the same key with no interesting melodic content. You can make interesting melodies with a guitar! You don’t need to show us how good you are at playing guitar Eric we get it!
This list has made me realise just how much I hate Clapton and Springsteen. Here's another one of the former. Tried to hide behind a different band name but within 4 seconds I was suspecting something was up and 20 seconds in I was letting out a groan. And not a good one. Layla the only non terrible song, but they went and ruined it by sellotaping 4 minutes of chaff onto the end and then naming the album "that + other songs". How up your own arse can you get man. Sick of him.
Not my jam
not my cup of tea
Okay, wouldn’t listen by choice
Booooooo
Did not like… I couldn’t get thru a whole song without becoming disinterested…
Meh album. Songs just go on too long. Most are boring for what should be love songs. I only like a few, the rest were a chore to finish. Even the good ones ( Bellbottom Blues and Layla) just kept going…and going… Clapton is overrated. There are much better and more creative rockers. He knows how to play guitar but…meh, most of his songs are forgettable I’m also not above removing a star for being a noxious human being. 1 star
Sadly the other assorted love songs were a bit dreary. Blues isn’t for me. They all go on too long. Not my favourite. Layla is fab though!
Not my kind of music, sry
Unbelievably and excruciatingly unbearable. This record has achieved something special here. Clapton & Co' have managed to come up with all these different musical passages and not a single time is an exciting idea brought forth. Endless jammy wanks with next to no memorable or stand out parts. Even Layla diverges into a deluge of droney sentimental wankery that bores me to tears. All of this is coming from a massive prog rock fan where over-indulgence is served all night and day. This record is the definition of lights on but no one is at home. Not familiar with Clapton in a general sense but thank god he left Derek behind, as I will now do for the rest of my life.
This album lasted forever. Incredibly boring. Being good at guitars doesn’t make up for lackluster songwriting.
Clapton is a racist and the songs all sound the same
When they found Frankie Carbone in the meat truck, it took them three days to thaw him out before they could do an autopsy.
Blech Clapton. Trite and boring and an awful person on top of it all.
Didnt enjoy this one. Felt very basic.
Layla
One good song, all the rest sound the same. Pretty bad honestly.
I like Cream, but generally speaking I can't think of any of solo or band work Eric Clapton has done which I find interesting. I certainly don't find 9 minute "blues" songs interesting. I also hate songs with two guitar solos going on at the same time, or songs where there seems to be a constant guitar solo in the background with no real purpose. The tone of Claptons guitar also I find annoying.... I guess I could sum up this album with "there was a lot I found annoying about it" I had to skip a lot of the songs, because they were too long, I really would struggle to listen to anyone play a "blues" song for 9 minutes especially when it's just a w@nk guitar solo for 7 of those 9 minutes. Also as I mentioned the the constant background guitar solos.... why? I imagine they recorded a version of little wing as a tribute to Jimi Hendrix I imagine he died shortly before this came out? but it seriously lacked any of the heart or soul of the original and I found it far from being a fitting tribute. The one song I did enjoy was "Anyday" I had never heard that before and thought it was quite good. Layla just reminds me of men who are overly passionate about cars, which in turn I find annoying, though I quite like the piano melody in the middle section.
Boring
Didn’t listen
Bluesy but nothing sets it apart from every other blues album. Little Wing cover is a sad shadow of the original. Either 1001 is too low of a bar or I do not see eye to eye with the music crititcs who made this list.
ГААААААВНОООООООО ДЕДАВСОЙЭЭЭЭЭ
So I'm going to sit here and fall asleep. Layla has that pointless, endless coda. Seriously, this bloke is only good as a guest performer. Only in the studio. I'm suspecting that his live guest appearances become extended wank-fests. There is no way this should be on any greatest album lists.
most meh of all time bro i have got to get meaner with these reviews. one star asf. "i love listening to music i hate" - me when i lie.
Can't do Clapton any longer since he got Vax crazy. Love the end of Layla, but just can't.
I hate Blues Rock. Godawful album. "Ooh, look how well I play these riffs, aren't I cool". "No, off you fuck".
I don't believe anything Clapton says
Yo fuck Eric Clapton.
Neat collaboration of musicians who went on to create way more impressive music 🎶. I loved the album cover the most!
1.5
really bad
Me niego a escuchar al pendejo de Eric Clapton
nah.
I can't listen to this and enjoy Eric Clapton anymore. Same thing with the Smashing Pumpkins since Billy Corgan is a total d-bag now.
Disco che non mi ha detto e lasciato nulla. Rispecchia i canoni della musica anni settanta classici dei padri americani che fanno grigliate. Non mi é piaciuto e ho fatto fatica a finirlo
No es lo mio, ok blues, entonces... Y Leyla...bueno ese riff repetido no parece ser muy brillante, quizas me pierdo de algo pero bueh.
Eh
no. sorry pattie, idgaf. five white guys playing shitty cringe blues rock . er*c kkklapton is racist af anyway so no.
Fuck Clapton (did not listen)
