(pronounced ’lĕh-’nérd ’skin-’nérd)

As terrifying as these dudes look on the album cover, this isn't too bad. I think I only knew "Free Bird" previously, which is obviously a great song. Not really my thing anymore though, 3 min long screechy guitar solos don't really turn my head like they used to! Apart from that song, I found most of this pretty forgettable...they're no Creedence anyway

I learned how pronounce now

Lot of fun songs. Free Bird is pretty played out, but still a great one. 4/5

has to be the greatest southern rock album of all time

Good album probably contains their best songs

Astonished by how much I enjoyed this, it was never not interesting. Still not sure if they're racist though.

Free Bird! Ok, now that that's out of the way...

Side 1 is PERFECT. Four amazing songs in a row. Tuesday's Gone, Gimme Three Steps, and Simple Man are all stone-cold classics. I didn't know "I Ain't the One" but it absolutely rocks. Love the guitar solo in the middle. The first three songs on Side 2 are not nearly as perfect. All of them are good (my favorite of the three is Poison Whiskey), but it's not at the level of the four songs on Side 1. BUT, then we have Free Bird, which really is one of the greatest rock songs ever (with one of the best guitar solos (plural) ever), so Side 2 averages out to amazing anyway. Between a perfect Side 1 and an amazing Side 2 (thanks to Free Bird), this album is a clear 5.

I'm starting to think I might be allergic to Southern Rock. Either that or I have a Southern Rock intolerance. If I drank enough whiskey it might help me to be able to digest this deep fried pork chop of an album. Either way I think I might end up puking.
