The people's Champs! CCR are perhaps the best American band of the late 60's. Fogerty has such tasteful chops, that subtle pushing of the 2 and 4 on the acoustic guitar propelling the title track is exhilarating. This is the best CCR album in my opinion because it doesn't have 16 minute blues jams, bare bones no messing around rock and roll. Sorry haterz.

This sort of broke my brain in high school. I got really into the Pixies just as they were breaking up. I journeyed through their catalogue in reverse order. I thought this album was so insane at first. The Albini production, the little snippets of speech between the songs, Vamos guitar solo, all sort of changed my idea of what you could do with a record. Growing up super churchy I loved all the biblical allusions. Everyone contributes on this, Amazing Songs and Lyrics from Black Francis, Joey Santiago's guitar playing, Kim's ice queen backup vocals (and lead on Gigantic) David Lovering's weird reverse drum beats on Bone Machine. The songs are all bangers. OH MY GOLLY.

I like the Garage-y songs and Somebody to Love and White Rabbit are amazing mostly due to the strength of Grace Slick's voice. Both of those songs come from Grace Slick's previous band I believe. I am a sucker for this era of music production, and I think the sounds on this are good. Not every songs however is that interesting but they are pretty brief. Not a bad listen but I probably am not going to reach for this again and again. The Skip Spence song is pretty sick. (My Best Friend)

Definitely some top tier bangers on here. Some kind of meh stuff too. Probably tied for 2nd to me for Stooges lps. Favs Search and Destroy, Shake Appeal and Gimme Danger. I really hate the piano in the song Raw Power.

WoooooooooooooAhhh woooooooooaaaaaaaaaooooohhhhh. I think self esteem is kind of the platonic ideal of what these guys do. Really dumb lyrics I don’t mind the guitar stuff the vocals are really annoying. Always double tracked and singing at the absolute edge of vocal range always. Ska song was like if Sublime sucked even more.

Competent playing, but not for me. I hate this type of thing.

Definitely important but not really what o felt like listening to.

Maybe just my current mood but this album was sort of like a mouth sore.

I can’t imagine being able to write this many great songs in a lifetime.

Fun times sounds like weed

I had this on CD and lent it to Marie Andree Hudon in the year 2000 or so. Does she still Have it?
