Disraeli Gears

Ihan hauskasti venkoilevaa brittirockia, jota toki listalla on ollut jo aika paljon -- eikä olla vielä edes puolessa välissä. huoh. no, en keksi suurempaa valitettavaa, joten 3/5. meneehän tää.

Total snoozefest. Sunshine of Your Love is OK, but totally overshadowed by Hendrix's version.

I am familiar with Cream's hits, but never delved into their back catalog, so I am looking forward to this listen.

I immediately recognize Sunshine of Your Love and Strange Brew. This is some fantastic psychadelic rock, and Eric Clapton's guitar playing is phenomenal. The bass groove in Strange Brew is awesome.

There are some "out there" lyrics throughout, especially in the song SWLABR (got that rainbow feel, but the rainbow has a beard)

Both the album cover, and the strange lyrics tell a tale of psychadelic drug use.

Overall, a great album! Glad I listened.

Favourite songs: Take It Back, SWLABR, Tales of Brave Ulysses, Strange Brew, Sunshine of Your Love, Outside Woman Blues

Least favourite songs: We're Going Wrong, Blue Condition, Dance the Night Away (in certain songs, they employ a mournful wailing lyric delivery which I find irritating)

4/5

Pues quitando el "Sunshine of Your Love" lo demás a día de hoy no me dice nada.

This is brilliant up there with the best rock from the 60’s cream is by far the best thing Clapton was involved in and this is their best album. 5 stars.

On the one hand you have Strange Brew, Sunshine Of Your Love and the best song of the album: Tales Of Brave Ulysses.
On the other hand you have Blue Condition and Take It Back which both really shouldn't be on the album.
Mother's Lament I can take as a funny, if somewhat discordant ending.

And every music lover knows the Bruce, Baker and Clapton story of Cream. But this, to me, is an ok blues-inspired psychedelic rock-album. With hits and misses.

Very good, of perhaps a bit self indulgent at points. Works well as a full album, with sunshine of your love and strange brew as clear stand out tracks.

Classic psych rock that feels timeless. Sunshine of Your Love is just an all-time great song. Clapton is a major POS but his guitarwork here is legendary.

I like this album a lot but always felt it was sort of two separate albums in one. One is a really good blue album, the other is a really good psychedelic album. Somehow it works together, but it's not perfect.

This may be the only band I actually like that Eric Clapton was in. And that is mostly due to the rhythm section if Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker.
