Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Outstanding Comment: As 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Fogerty's most ambitious album Comment: On "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 counting "Mardis Gras" as a single ("Someday Never Comes"/"Sweet Hitch-hiker") with a bunch of trash thrown in). 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 the first two (very pleasant) minutes descends into a nightmarish cacophony of organ, drums, and studio effects. Customer Rating: Summary: Pendulum rocks, but marks the beginning of the end Comment: Creedence 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Cd from great Band Comment: Great Cd from a much underrated band of all times. Customer Rating: Summary: check this out too Comment: I am a huge fan of John Fogerty's solo music and his music with CCR. If you enjoy his roots-rock style then I strongly recommend that you check out the following: 1) 24 Hours A Day by The Bottle Rockets 2) Chooglin': A Tribute To The Songs Of John Fogerty 3) Banjos and Sunshine by Sixty Acres 4) Trace by Son Volt More Reviews
