This ain't my first experience with CCR, as my dad owns one of their records, but this is certainly the first time I'm actually engaging in a project of theirs on my own.
Initial impressions say this is about as high quality as I would expect from the group. The opener is absolutely stupendous, the vocals are iconic as ever and very passionate, and the guitarwork certainly induces a very classic, dusty vibe. Clocking in at just over 30 minutes, too, there really is no reason not to check this out.

It's very sweet and earnest. I've heard a few other Foo records and this is certainly of the quality I would expect of them, though I do wish the production was a bit more airy and less squished down to shit. Nonetheless, deeply enjoyable stuff.
Rating: 3.5 (closer to 4 stars)

It's sweet! Really nice usage of sampling throughout the entire thing, though I do think some fat could've been shaved off in general.

Suuuper lovely record. Passionate, electric, and CLASSIC in every form of the word. Nothing much more to say, heard this one a bit ago.

CLASSIC. Just one of those albums that is completely necessary for all music listeners. As a metalhead, this is one of the most well-written and well-aged records to ever be made. War Pigs <33
