#890 Creedence Clearwater Revival - Cosmo's Factory

If Green River was an escape from the Bayou, this is an honest to god arrival home. A nearly perfect classic rock album, full of effortless hooks and a disarming sincerity, sounding like it simply came into existence fully formed. All the parts in place, all in perfect balance, deft and unpretentious and beautiful and perfectly paced and impossibly listenable.

Creedence is one of those bands that you just know, just by virture of having been alive in the 20th century, but you don't realize how many good songs they really have, let alone how well they really coalesced into damned solid albums, until you really sit down and listen 5/5
