Beautiful, as always, but it's the one I like the least of the CCR from their debut until "Pendulum." Here, of course, there are several songs perfect in their bare simplicity, like "Down on the Corner," obviously "Effigy," and also "Cotton Fields" or "It Came out of the Sky." There’s also an unforgettable single "anthem" like "Fortunate Son." Here we are at masterpiece levels, but I admit that the rest doesn’t overly excite me; the two instrumentals, for example: more than pleasant (especially "Side O' the Road" with Fogerty's always welcome guitar) but, well, not particularly essential. A nice record without a doubt, but for once, nice but not stunning.
