Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The Great American Band's last LP as a foursomeWith Concord Music Group having purchased the Fantasy catalog, the fortieth anniversary of Creedence Clearwater Revival's debut LP provides a suitable opportunity for a fresh round of reissues. All six of the original foursome's albums (from 1968's Creedence Clearwater Revival through 1970's Pendulum) have been struck from new digital masters and augmented by previously unreleased tracks. Those who purchased the 2001 box set can pick up most of the bonus tracks separately as digital downloads (the two longest bonuses are CD-only). Those who didn't buy the box, and think they'll buy all six reissues may want to consider the box set for its inclusion of pre-Creedence work from the Blue Velvets and Golliwogs, the seventh CCR album Mardi Gras, the ... Read More: Rating:  - CCR's Last Great AlbumPENDULUM was Creedence Clearwater Revival's last great album. Among the wonderful songs here are "Hey Tonight" and "Have You Ever Seen The Rain?" As a person who listens to classic rock bands such as the Eagles, the Allman Brothers Band, Jackson Browne, the Outlaws, Deep Purple, Steve Miller, Fleetwood Mac, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Santana, Bruce Springsteen, Heart, Ted Nugent, REM, Blue Oyster Cult, Ozark Mountain Daredevils, Foghat, Tom Petty, and Bob Seger, I feel That Creedence fits in with all of those great bands in their own way. This album is a must-own for any classic rock fan. Rating: - OutstandingAs a Creedence fan since 1968, I had previously bought Willy and The Poor Boys,Green River and Cosmos Factory. I could not believe I had overlooked this album. At the time of release I may have not enjoyed it being such a departure from previous Creedence albums but I have to say I found it to be outstanding. Some of Fogerty's experimentation is a little far-fetched but you have to appreciate that he was trying to reach beyond the bayou. Any serious Creedence fan should have this CD. Rating: - Fogerty's most ambitious albumOn "Pendulum," Fogerty experiments with new approaches and although many Creedence fans find this album their least favorite I feel it has the most musical integrity of all six albums (I'm not counting "Mardis Gras"). After "Pagan Baby," which features one of rock's best guitar solos, a series of unique songs follows, each of which is distinct and avoids cliches (unlike "Travelling Band" and "Looking Out My Back Door" on "Cosmo's Factory"). Fogerty's voice is outstanding, particularly on "Hideaway." He plays both the sax and organ well and seems to be trying to fuse all his talents to create a less commercial style, which is perhaps why this album is not as loved as some of the earlier ones. The only exception is "Rude Awakening #2," which after ... Read More: Rating: - Pendulum rocks, but marks the beginning of the endCreedence Clearwater Revival, fighting their image as a singles-only band, delivered Pendulum; arguably, their best effort. The songs are high energy rock and roll with a flavor of jazz and country rock. Fogerty's experientation with new instruments, including the unpolished saxophone on Molina really work for CCR. Internal bickering between the Fogerty Brothers and Fogerty and the rest of band are evident throughout, especially in the songs Hideaway, Have You Ever Seen The Rain? and Rude Awakening. While this has been rated among their best works by critics, I think it falls short Willie and The Poors and Cosmo's Factory. But it is a solid performance. |
