1001 Albums Summary

1001albumsgenerator project: Album 5 - Vincebus Eruptum by Blue Cheer I don't know what to say here honestly. I don't have much to say for this album. As influential as it can be, to me it sounds like many other blues rock albums except this one feels like it was recorded in a tin can. The guitar freakouts are pretty good admittedly but that guitar is actually TOO loud and ends up burying the drums and the bass, which is the album's biggest problem of this album. Led Zeppelin's debut album came out just one year after this and it doesn't have such rough mixing. The Stooges' debut album came out one year after this one as well, and it doesn't have such a bad mixing. There's really no excuse for this one. I'm positive the song would sound much better with different production, and Summertime Blues is actually pretty good despite all the production's flaws. So I think the songs aren't necessarily bad (although they really lack creativity and can get boring quickly), but the record is a tough listen and not only by today's standards. Either way, this is just my opinion. So try not to pay too much attention to it.
