Disraeli Gears
by Cream
Big fan of Jack Bruce and enjoy Cream's tracks but thought they never made a good album. I may have listened to this once in the past but not compelled to listen until compelled by the 1001 albums generator now. Very dated songs, ending with the trivial very 60's Mother's Lament. Rock stars are not funny, neither, until Bruce-Brown hit their stride, were they great songwriters. Very patchy, with only Sunshine Of Your Love standing up as a classic. Strange Brew is interesting as ever but not very listenable. Some of the songs were better on the live albums, like Sitting on Top of the World, which drags here. Nice cover, I always wanted, but now realise why I don't own this album.
