Music reviews of Cosmo's Factory
Music Review: Whatever you think of the hits, THIS was the ALBUM.
Rating: 5 Stars
I'm one of those people who enjoyed Creedence front to back. They could do no wrong, they were American originals. That said...
...Cosmo's Factory is an album, an experience, in the same way that Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Remastered) is an experience and Tommy is an experience. No, it's not a "rock opera," and it's not a "concept album." The only concept here is good music, written well and performed with fire. You don't buy this one to get "one or two good songs," because they're ALL heavy hitters. All killer, no filler. The bonus tracks are great, but the album is a must-have, with or without them.
It's not even worth doing a track-by-track review, because every one is a winner. Let's just say that Fogerty is one of the FEW performers to tackle a Motown song, turn it inside out, and emerge a winner (all 11 ferocious minutes of "I Heard It Through The Grapevine"...tough, bluesy, swampy). "Ramble Tamble" continues the "Hellhound On My Trail" sense of blues foreboding, while EVERY other track...EVERY single one...found its way onto FM radio airwaves when the original album was released.
It's mighty, it's beautiful, it's a cherished relic from the time capsule that has not diminished a BIT with age. Stop reading this and buy your copy NOW.

If, as many contend, Creedence Clearwater Revival was the foremost singles rock band of its time, Cosmo's Factory is the ultimate end-of-the-'60s singles album. Indeed, seven of the album's 11 tracks turn up on Chronicle, CCR's best hits collection. That said, Cosmo's is really a must-own in its entirety. No other album so adeptly laces together the various strands of the CCR sound. John Fogerty's ready-for-AM-radio knack surfaces in "Lookin' Out My Back Door" and "Up Around the Bend." His sober side is in evidence on "Who'll Stop the Rain" and "Long As I Can See the Light." And no white group of its time could cover black music with as much natural flair; check out the 11-minute cover of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine" for proof. The band broke up two albums after the release of this, their apex LP, but Cosmo's Factory cemented CCR's standing as a great American band. --Steven Stolder
