The one hundred seventy-fifth album: #175 Creedence Clearwater Revival - Cosmo's Factory
Cosmo's Factory is a clear throwback, an album of old style rockers before the experiments that psychedelic rock brought in, before the Beatles did their thing and before it diversified. The blues elements are in here, the instruments are standard and it doesn't try to do things different. The songs are quite tightly crafted, with some good rock ballads in here and some good solo pieces. It sounds good, fulfilling its purpose well, which is what it does best fo rthe most part.
