CD Reviews

Scottish Pub Band Poor CD
Larry Martin | San Francisco, CA | 10/04/2005
(1 out of 5 stars)

"Clouds were a Scottish Pub band that came down to London around

1966 in search of a recording deal. They were decent musicians

live, but poor song writers. This CD is their first and last

albums packaged together. Both of these albums are pretty shaky.

I would NOT recommend them. Some of the reviews offered here are

completely laughable. Trying to make Clouds out to be some sort

of great band. They are obviously submitted by relatives and

former employees. Hey I saw Clouds three times and they were just

an enjoyable Scottish Pub band PERIOD!"
They Should have left the S off the title
Harry Hughes | London, England | 02/24/2005
(1 out of 5 stars)

"This album is the worst. Badly written songs and poor production

and recording. Terry Ellis should be shot. I saw Clouds 3 times

and they were just alright. Billy Ritchie is and always was just

an average organ player. The only influence he had was that he

stood up! Clouds couldn't write a good song to save their lives.

If you want to hear 2 of the worst songs ever recorded "Waiter

There's Something in my Soup" and "Grand Dad" get this pathetic

CD. Rated one star because there's nothing lower.

Clouds Fun Band Live
Peter Jones | San Diego, CA | 10/05/2005
(2 out of 5 stars)

"I saw Clouds a number of times live and they were fun and

enjoyable. Their records on the other hand were not that good.

They definitely should have used a better producer. Interesting

the reviews here. We have someone named Kath who's not CRAZY

about the CD, but none the less rates it FIVE STARS! Then someone

else named Sarah who thinks it's just pleasant, but also rates

it FIVE STARS! Five Stars is reserved for a masterpiece, NOT an

album that is JUST PLEASANT or that you're not CRAZY about. For

those that are interested in how Clouds sounded live. Listen to

"The Carpenter" that's their signature tune."
