Now this is why I'm here. Finding albums like this is what makes all this worthwhile. This guy's singing voice is so original and I Frickin' loved this listening experience.

I’m sure when this came out it was ground breaking but it is a product of its time.

Cliche 60’s rock sound. Reminiscent of the Beatles or the Doors. Tons of keyboard!!

Gaaf album waar je goed van kan horen dat andere bands erdoor beinvloed zijn

Points for being unique and ahead of its time, and a fair bit of music I genuinely enjoyed, but as is often the case with the avant garde I found a fair bit of it pretty trying as well.

I'm struggling to guess why this album made it on the list. Because they recorded it while in the service? It isn't unique enough for any other reason.

These guys were either music trolls who didn't give a fuck, visionaries who were waiting for the rest of the rock world to catch up to them, or (mostly likely) both. At times it's post-punk before punk was even a thing and this Aussie likes it and gives it five bowls of Weet-Bix out of five.

This band was way ahead of their time, like, this was a 60s record? It's so irreverent and punkish in tones and just seems like a bunch of young kids breaking shit and having a good time and I dig it. Honestly reminded me a bit of The Electric Prunes, but stronger and more "I don't give a fuck" I really liked "We Do Wie Du"

This album is widely regarded as kind of the grandfather of punk music. I don't get it though.

good shit, these boys kick

It was fucking awesome. Take the who, royally piss them off, and throw in some doors.

Sounds like the Doors. 60s precursor to grunge

Only 1 in spotify :((

Funky, psychedelic. Hammond organ, perfect

This is some wild shit that I’ve never heard of. Wow

börjar riktigt bra tycker jag men tappar lite efter som. borde också kortas ner några låtar

Fuck yes. Stooges, eat your heart out. Awesome proto-punk that I literally never knew about prior. Demented, fun, and way ahead of it's time. Favorite tracks: "I Hate You", "Higgle-Dy Piggle-Dy", "Monk Time"

3.5 one of the more interesting albums ive heard so far. i can see how some people would really enjoy this. i cant say i loved it but i did enjoy listening to it and thought it was pretty different, . every song was better than the last. i might actually return to it one day 'cause there's some real earworms

another very fun listen, very proto-punk great 60s vibe, i hate you and higgle dy piggle dy are bangers
