 Pendulum saved my life! June 4, 2005
25 out of 26 found this review helpful
I am not from CCR's generation of hippies and Vietnam veterans but a twenty year old in a generation of Britney Spears and Backstreet Boys. What does this have anything to do with CCR? I don't listen to my generation's music hardly ever. I must be a born again dope smoking hippie because all I listen to is classic rock. My dad handed me down this album when I was in junior high in the late 1990s and it was my first awakening to what great music sounds like. I'm very familiar at this point with most of the music of the late 60s and 70s and I will still claim CCR's Pendumlum is one of the greatest albums of its kind from this period of rock and roll. I think what makes CCR so great is their ability to molt jamming rifts in which you can dance up and down to into sweet melodic jams in which you can chill. They do it perfectly with John Fogerty on lead guitar and his brother Tom on rhythm playing together with Stu Cook on bass and Doug Clifford on drums. I can't think of too many bands with a better combination. Pendulum is one of those albums you could probably listen to anytime of day and with any kind of mood. I guess if you're into the way harder material from that time, Pendulum might be a downer but not necessarily. I listen to Deep Purple and Zeppelin to Fleetwood Mac and Jackson Browne. I think CCR is that place in between all of these bands. I'm in love with all the songs on this album so its hard to say exactly which ones to listen to for a first glance. When I first started listening to CCR, I was definitely digging the softer sounds and the melodic tunes in music so I think I will always be more affectionate to "(Wish I could) hideaway" "It's just a thought" but jams on "Pagan Baby" and "Hey Tonight" are equally as fantastic. I know my perspective on this album compared to other CCR albums may be biased since this album was my first and it has great sentimentality attached. But there is a reason that this album converted me from the 90s back to 1970. I now listen to everything including hip hop and old country but CCR will always have me, especially this album.

For some reason,a lot of CCR fans dislike PENDULUM .True,it is not as good as COSMO'S FACTORY,GREEN RIVER or WILLY AND THE POOR BOYS;however,I place it ahead of CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL,BAYOU COUNTRY,and MARDI GRAS.By this stage,CCR had more chart success in three years than most band only dream about.John Fogerty wanted to experiment with keyboards and saxaphone(all group members could play more than one instrument).Several styles of rock were played with:reggae(SAILOR'S LAMENT),soul(CHAMELEON,BORN TO MOVE),old rock'n'roll(MOLINA),progressive instrumental rock(RUDE AWAKENING NO.2),and hard boogie rock(HEY TONGHT,PAGAN BABY).The old CCR style was still present,however(HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE RAIN,IT'S JUST A THOUGHT and HIDEAWAY).As a result of the experimentation,most critics complained that PENDULUM was a wildly uneven album.I prefer to think of it as a noble musical experiment.Also,as a result of John's perfectionism,Tom Fogerty quit the group not long after PENDULUM's release.This paved the way for CCR as a trio and MARDI GRAS.But that,as they say,is another story.
HUMOUR-ROCK September 7, 2001

I really like this old band!!! There is one thing that all old rock had and that some of today's rock has lost: it expressed a great joy of life, it inspired love for life. And CCR surely are one of the best examples, because their music had another quality that today's rock has completely lost: it had humour!!! Just listen to songs like "Cameleon" or "Hey Tonight"! But PENDULUM is also the album of one of the most beautiful rock-ballades ever written: "Have You Ever Seen The Rain"! And if you really like rockĀ'n roll you'll surely enjoy the instrumental part of "Pagan Baby": when I listen to it, I simply can't stay quiet! So this is really a complete album and it is really good music for a party: just try it out and you'll see.
CCR goes soul March 8, 2000

This is actually my favorite CCR album. Funny that, as many fans only rate it one notch above MARDI GRAS. The major sticking point for most is the departure from the CCR formula into some different kinds of music - most of it kinda Soul-y. John Fogerty, always an underrated musician, had already mastered guitar and drums and was now playing organ and sax.The opening "Pagan Baby" really rocks out, if you like "Ramble Tamble" from COSMO'S FACTORY you'll love this - Fogerty truly achieves guitar-hero status! Both sides of the then-current 45 ("Hey Tonight" and "Have You Ever Seen the Rain?" - the latter covered to charming effect by REM in concert back in 1985) are first-rate. There's also some neglected gems like "It's Just a Thought" and "Hideaway". Top notch stuff. Even the villified instrumental "Rude Awakening #2" (where #1?) has a beautiful opening section. I play this more than any other Creedence LP, 'nuff said.
GREAT-- and weird-- stuff February 20, 2000

CCR's 6th album was the only one on which John Fogerty wrote EVERY song. But maybe by this time he was over-working himself? Some cool stuff here: "Sailor's Lament" (real bouncy), "Chameleon" (with those horns, it sounds a bit like Motown or Stax!), "Born To Move" (ditto). There's also "Rude Awakening #2", an organ-based instro which definitely steps into the "progressive" mold (perhaps TOO far?). Amidst this are the outright CLASSICS, "Have You Ever Seen The Rain?" (wonderfully covered years later by Bonnie Tyler) and "Hey Tonight" (funny, both of these were on the same 45!). I note the cover picture is dark, unlike their earlier ones-- and Tom Fogerty has an angry scowl on his face. How often these things reflect what went on behind the scenes! Tom left CCR right after this. Maybe the band would could have held together longer if they'd ALL just taken a nice vacation from all that hard work?
