Mardi Gras – Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR) Album Review
7/10 Lookin' For A Reason
It's pretty good, not much like the other CCR songs, rather it's slow, quiet, and feels like a Disney ride. Fogerty's vocals sound a little strange ngl. Not bad, but different compared to other Creedence songs.
6/10 Take It Like a Friend
I expected more of my goat Stu on vocals, but to be honest his vocals are just kinda.. bad. Instrumental lowk good, I like how it sounds, but the vocals honestly throwing me off. They also have a weird echo.
9/10 Need Someone to Hold
This song is honestly really good, Clifford is an excellent vocalist, production is great, guitar, bass, drums, all really good. One of my favorites off of this album.
8.5/10 Tearin' Up the Country
Very fun, fast paced, reminds me of folk and some country. Very fun time, Clifford once again spitting FIRE on the beat.
10/10 Someday Never Comes
Genuinely a fantastic song, I love the sound so much, lyrics, vocals, and the combination of all the instruments on this song. My favorite off this album, really great. Incredible performance by Fogerty.
10/10 What Are You Gonna Do
Clifford performance is incredible on this song, I love the guitar on this song, fun, fast pace. A great song, one of the best songs on this album.
7/10 Sail Away
The sound on this song is different, I like it. Stu's vocals are better than the last, scared at the start, but its alright. Its a nice song, Stu's vocals are alright, not my favorite on the album, but hey, I dont hate it.
8/10 Hello Mary Lou
I like its sound, instruments specifically. Conflicted on the vocal effects, the echo is strange, but I kinda like it? Great song though.
8.5/10 Door to Door
I like this one a lot, Stu's vocals work well for this one. It sounds great, love the instruments on it. In terms of this album, this is Stu's best vocal performance. I love the effects on Stu's voice as well. A very nice sounding song, me likey.
9/10 Sweet Hitch-Hiker
I love this one so much, definitely the fast pace Creedence I love. Fogerty, again, fantastic performance, guitar sounds great on this one, one of the best on this album.
Album Verdict: 8.3/10
I like this album. Some of it could have been better, it shows that the band was going through some conflict. I like some of the other members' performances, Clifford did fantastic. Good album, but not the best Creedence has put out.
Doug "Cosmo" Clifford – Album Review
10/10 Latin music
Love the composition, singings great, trumpets are a fantastic touch
10/10 Regret It
Love the composiotions, the chorous backing track, great song, not the hugest fan of the "Bow bow" over and over in the background, but still a fantastic song.
7/10 Guitars, Drums and girlds
Like the instrumental, lyrics are strange, but hey, it was the 70's, no my favorite off the album but still a good song.
10/10 I'm A man
Lot of creedence vibes here, like the funky pacing and guitar, again the trumpets are fantastic, the production and composition is great.
9/10 She's About A Mover
The trumpets on this album are unmatched, so funky and i love it. Production, again is great, the vocals match the funkiness well.
8/10 I just want to cry
One of my favorites off this album, its a nice slower song, which in this case I do like a lot. I can't shut up about those trumpets, its so good.
8/10 Get your raise
Very similar to the last one, although its not as good, piano is good, has that funkiness seen in the other songs. Good, but not as good as the rest.
7/10 Daydream
Not as memorable, vocals are a little strange compared to the others. It lacks some of the elements that made the others so great. Won't deny it is pretty good though.
8/10 Take a train
It feels like its a part of the spongebob soundtrack, I like it. very memorable, vocals are different than the others, but in a really good way.
8/10 Death machine
For a song called death machine, doesnt feel deathy. I'll let it slide, cause its a really fun, fast paced song. Its very memorable as well, has some some creedence like elements.
9/10 Swinging in a hammock
I happen to like this one a lot, the chorus singing in some parts are a great element, very funky bass, I love it.
Album Verdict: 8.6/10
I love the compesition so much, extremley underated, a fantasti piece of work.
