Disraeli Gears
Cream

Psychedelic rock, full steam ahead. If someone would ask you what "psychedelic" means in music, just show them this album - it's not the greatest, but definitely one of first of this kind and pulling all the string of the genre. You can hear it straight away in the opening song "Strange Brew". The guitar work on this track is just amazing, who needs drugs, when you can listen to it on the loop? But that's not everything, although drums help accenting the psychedelic parts, bass melody is extremely groovy and keeps you interested in the song. I would 100% call it a highlight of the track, and maybe the whole album? Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of the vocal on this single and record in general. High voice of Clapton doesn't song really exciting, and although it fits the theme of the light and fun melody, it's not something I would like to listen to more often. "Sunshine of your Love" keeps a very high level of quality on the album, being a very excellent song, with even more recognisable melody on guitars and bass. Claptons voice is much better here, high class. But moving on, the quality drops, and especially side b of the record is hard to listen. There was nothing special in there that I could point at, it's rather disappointing after such a good intro to the album.
