Socrates Drank The Conium - Socrates Drank The Conium
Review by Elenir Cezimbra
Socrates Drank The Conium, the self-titled album by the Greek rock band, is a masterpiece of psychedelic rock. The album, released in 1972, is a collection of ten tracks that showcase the band's unique sound and style.
The album opens with the track "It's A Disgusting World," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. The song features heavy guitar riffs, driving bass lines, and powerful vocals that combine to create a sound that is both gritty and melodic.
The album also features a number of standout tracks, including "Who Is To Blame," "The Bride," and "Starvation." These songs showcase the band's ability to blend different genres of music, including blues, rock, and folk, into their own unique sound.
One of the most impressive aspects of the album is the band's musicianship. The guitar work is particularly noteworthy, with intricate solos and creative use of effects pedals. The rhythm section is also tight and precise, providing a solid foundation for the rest of the band.

This actually kinda sucks. Disappointed.
very good all..............
how great was Yannis back then, at the same level than most of the great british rock guitarist of that age.....if he'd been british or american he would surely have a mention aside with rory, clapton, beck or any other
good

Prog rock von feisten
Poli groovy.
Δεν θα ξεχασω ποτε την χαρα που εκανα οταν τον αγορασα και τον ακουγα συνεχεια σε ενα πικαπ της κακιας συμφορας. Οποτε σε 2 μηνες περιπου τον αγορασα παλι με την διαφορα οτι ειναι απαιχτος. Ο ενθουσιασμος μου ηταν τοσο μεγαλος που πολυ αργοτερα εστειλα εναν στην Αγγλια σε μια φιλη για να της δειξω οτι εχουμε γκρουπαρα , αυτη μου εστειλε εναν του Gary Glitter , τοτε ηταν στα πανω του το glam rock. Αισθανομαι μεγαλη ικανοποιηση που εζησα ολα τα χρονια με την πορεια του γκρουπ αυτου. Πιστευω οτι ηταν ατυχοι για διεθνη καριερα,κριμα το αξιζαν.
...Ενα παρα πολυ αρτια δεμενο, και σφιστο hard rock ντεμπουτο αλμπουμ ,που κατα την γνωμη μου ,δεν θα βρει ευκολα καποιος και να εχει και πολλα πραγματα να ζηλεψει ,απο αλλα αναλογα αλμπουμς ,αλλων ''μεγαλων'' συγκροτηματων ,οπου και αν αυτα προερχονται ......!!! ενα μεγαλο μπραβο στους socrates ...!!
Φωβερη κάθε βράδυ κοντά τους κυριολεκτικά μεγαλωσα μαζιτους!!!!!
Sundays they would play in some cinema in Athens. Good old days.
This is well official!!
heiligescheißeisdasgeil
Το close the door and lay down απλά δεν υπάρχει!!!! Όσο για το starvation ποσα ξένα γκρουπ θα ήθελαν να το είχαν δικό τους...!!!!
Best Rock group of Greece.

Το καλυτερο ελληνικο ροκ γκρουπ....φυσικα Starvation ,ανατριχιλα
Αφιερωμένο σε όσους άκουγαν, τότε, την Ιδιωτική Ραδιοφωνία ΣΕΙΡΙΟΣ, από τον Βύρωνα...
