Almost as strong as Disraeli Gears... They still sounded like a cohesive group at this point.
The studio sides are mostly great; the live sides (except for "Crossroads") could use editing. Still a classic. Highlights: "White Room," "Crossroads," "Born Under a Bad Sign," and the amazing "Deserted Cities of the Heart."
TOAD!!!
Cream's true masterpiece and along with Layla, Clapton's most relevant album, this is a really underrated record which shows the band mastering the blues and transitioning it to the sound that would later be part of the sound of Zeppelin, Purple and Sabbath, although the live recordings are too much jamming for my taste there isn't a weak moment on the studio album (except for the babbling in track 4), far better than Disraeli Gears which seems less coherent and inspired...
RFNAPLESBest track: Crossroads
White Room stand as quite possibly my favorite song of all time. The epic sweep of the choral background, Clapton's haunting falsetto and romping guitar combine in a song that stays with me.
The rest of the first disc continues with excellent song followed by excellent song, Passing the Time, Those Were the Days, and Born Under a Bad Sign topping the list for me
