The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

Understood that this may have influenced a generation of psychedelic rock however it took a lot of muscle to get through this album. It might have been more palatable without all of the electric jug. I worry I’ll have nightmares with that sound in them.

This was actually a fun album to listen to. It reminded me some of the old Jefferson Airplane albums, even if the singing wasn’t nearly as great. It had a lot of that same vibe, and some of the musicality was pretty similar. Grabbed a couple of these songs around personal library, this was much better than anticipated. Bonus points for being at the front end of psychedelic rock, and for the use of the word psychedelic in the title. Also, for the use of the electric jug, made for a really interesting sound.

I actually had pulled this up just last week and listened to the whole thing. It has moments of absolute greatness, especially the opening track and "Splash" and "Fire Engine." I'm not always the biggest psychedlica guy, but this is a great, bloozy, rock record. There's whiffs of punk in there, an extremely garage sound. The knocks on it are a couple. One, it all starts to sound the same by the end, and none of the songs remotely approach the kick-assitude of "You're Gonna Miss Me", so the entire remainder feels like a letdown. I also don't love the non-"Splash 1" mellow tracks (e.g., "Kingdom of Heaven"). They're not bad, just underwhelming. But my biggest beef is the sort of bubble-sounding effect they use on a bunch of tracks (it comes through most clearly on "Don't Fall Down"). This is, I assume, their famed electric jug. Hate it. Just a constant, annoying, faint buh-ba-buh-ba-buh-ba-buh-ba for the whole damn song. This may not be true for all listeners, but for me, once I pick up on it I can't stop focusing on it and it really takes me out of the rest. Put it all together, I call it a 3. Might've been the 4 without the damn jug.

you’re gonna miss me’ is so cool and definitely worth their #1 track. also the album cover and the name of the album is literally so awesome so needed to mention that. other fav tracks of mine: fire engine, through the rhythm, reverberation (doubt), kingdom of heaven i also want to mention that every song grabs at your attention from the jump and stays so consistent throughout the rest. impressed.

Rock and bloody roll! Favourite tracks: Through The Rhythm, Kingdom of Heaven, You Don't Know

It would have got a 3 until I noticed the pigeon in every song. Ahh l.s.d I suppose

Some classics that I didn’t realize I knew

I have previously listened and liked this album. But would not expect this to be anywhere near this list

I no longer have to wonder what Beaker would sound like as a musical instrument. Could easily have garnered a higher rating if they'd chosen to use the jug judiciously instead of just mindlessly boop-a-wooping through every single song.

I liked this overall. It has a cool surf-guitar vibe and is probably the first 'psychedelic' album I haven't disliked. However, that terrible, awful, plastic straw in a plastic soda lid sound cannot be ignored. I'm sure many of us have memories of annoying their entire family by making that sound after ordering a Happy Meal. Also, that is probably the reason I imagine this would be Gene Belchers favorite album of all time.

Surprisingly good

Going down...13 floors of nondescript psychedelic puff

Pure psychedelia from a bad that wasn't afraid to electrify a jug

Meh.

My triumphant return to this list and I get this mediocre album! It's fine, but there are 100 other 60s rock bands that have the same sound as this band. Whoever made this list loves 60s psychedelia

The title of this album really intrigued me, but it's pretty bland for me. 2* I agree with others, the bubble sound is super annoying.

1. mizz - 1.5 2. roller - 1.5 3. zplazh - 1 4 reverb -1 5. douun - 1 6. fire - 0 7. rythym - 1 8. knouu - 1 9. heaven - 1 10.monkey - 1 11. hide - 1

Nearly a 5, probably should be a 5, really like this album, sound, vibe

Nothing special about this except the cover art.

No more than a 2. Nothing to see here again

Never heard of these blokes. Apparently this is the earliest example of the word psychedelic on an album. It’s not bad, it’s just very 60’s and a bit rough sounding.

Did not like this one. All sounded the same and the quality of the audio on Spotify was pretty bad

It was ok, I think other groups incorporated or did psychedelic rock better but this wasn’t a bad toe dipper if you’ve never listened to it before

1,5

Decent enough - mellow tracks - nothing really stood out but an enjoyable and different listen

Trippy, man. How ‘bout that electric jug?

Chaotic garage band at its craziest. At least one song’s bones are in a Kinks tune from the year before. I wonder if they intentionally manipulated tunes to enhance the trip. Worth multiple listens.

The first track is great. And I can tell why I've never heard the rest of the album.

When a guy who's spent his life as a successful, professional musician tells you to check out a band, you do. Dallas Good from The Sadies told me to check this band out but specifically the work of Roky Erickson.

Absolutely gorgeous album cover. Some of the instrumentals were great, but the lyrics were often too weird and beatles-esque for me. Not bad though and will probably be listening again at some point.

3.5

Funky and weird, but I was kind of waiting for it to be over by the end. Annoyed by the blooping sounds pervading the album which I later learned was an electrified jug, which is a cool idea, but unfortunately sounds like spaceship sound affects made by a 4 year old and never stops. Nothing super memorable.

it’s not special. There are other surf rock stuff that scratch that itch more than this

Fine, I hope they paid the guy doing the beatboxing in the background well

It had been a long while since I listened to this one. When I was in my early 20’s and super into drugs and this album clicked for me. 13th Floor Elevators(great name) were one of the pioneers of Psychedelic Rock and possibly Pioneers of the electronic jug as well (can’t guarantee this) and they deliver a trippy, hazy record. Yea, the production could have been better but whatever man, grab a jug. 4 stars

Ah, fuck it. I’m a mark for this raw early psychedelic stuff. This is especially cool because of its pioneering nature. I feel like a lot of bands owe their careers to these guys? Anyway, the songs and their atmospheres are so cool. Must-listen #302.

I got a fever and the only prescription is.... more electric jug!!!

Not a fan of the jug, but there were some decent moments here. You’re Gonna Miss Me was alright, but felt very outdated.

This is truly psychadelic - some moments that remind me of early Dead stuff, and I found myself liking some of the interwoven guitar parts. But ultimately Jug Man really fucks up this whole record. What is this shit? Like, it makes every song so much worse than it needs to be. Thru the Rhythm is a pretty good song, for example, but that little warble makes me want to take a jug to my head.

A jumbled repetitive mess. Normally this genre is a least somewhat engaging. Not this one. 2/5

Not a huge fan at first but liked it more and more as it went on. Liked the vocals

Album No. 0160 on my playlist. This album was completely new to me; I had never heard of the 13th Floor Elevators before. I get why this album may have been important and influential at the time, this is as much psychedelic rock as it gets. Personally though, I just don't really get why exactly people enjoyed it. Yes, it was something new at the time, but I just don't find much good stuff on "The Psycheldic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators". It maybe the production, which I find too noisy, it may be the songwriting (the songs don't feel very finished; they're unpolished, but in a bad way). And I don't like the singer's singing style. At times, he felt like a less good version of Mick Jagger, at times I just found his voice obnoxious. Sorry, would have wanted to like it better, but I didn't. I will add "You're Gonna Miss Me", and "Kingdom Of Heaven" to my playlist. 2/5 stars.

Drogengeklimper.

Roky Erickson and company deliver one of 1960's best albums. A dark psychedelic masterpiece that explored the underbelly of the hippie dream a good six months before The Velvet Underground (w Nico) would gut said underbelly and a couple years before The Stooges and MC5 would stich said underbelly up & accidentally on purpose predict if not invent punk rock.

This might be one of the ultimate underrated gems of the 60's. The 13th Floor Elevators are considered by many to be the first true psychedelic rock band, or at least, they're the first to use the term "psychedelic". And this album really is psychedelic rock defined too, right down to the trippy hippe cover art. The music largely is what you would expect from the mid-60's, having a definite pop rock vibe to it with some blues elements added in for good measure. But at the same time, there's a bit of an in your face proto-punk attitude to it, the production being somewhat raw and garagey and Roky Erickson's vocals being delivered in a rather raw fashion for the time. What really gives this album a trippy vibe though is its use of what's known as an "electric jug", which creates this weird echoing sound that kind of fades in and out on each song and just adds to the overall psychedelic vibe of the album. ...And yes, it is pretty much what you might think, it's a literal jug that someone's blowing into that has been amplified, and as far as I know, these guys are one of the only bands to have utilized this as an actual instrument. Definitely more of an underground type album for sure, although it did spawn a minor hit with "You're Gonna Miss Me". While I am a metalhead at heart, I love a lot of old 60's albums, and this is definitely one of them. 'The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators' is a great psychedelic trip of an album that deserves way more credit than it's given.

2/19/26. Whatever that sound device they use in every song is, it REALLY annoys me. 4/10

Ok 2/5

Another rock album from the 60’s but this one didn’t bother me as much as most of the others. I had no idea what the fuck was making the weird sounds I kept hearing, and never in a million years would I have guessed that it was an electric jug. It was bothering me that I couldn’t figure it out but now that I know I think I like it more.

Classic late 60s style music. Get your tabs, settle in and spin up "The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators". Would have loved listening to this with the gang over at Roger's house back in the day.

Once again, I usually like this genre but this one was a miss. All the songs had some weird background sound effect which sort of blended them all together and resulted in sloppy disoriented album

8/10

The instrumentation choices prevent this from being better (wtf is that jug clinking).

playing a game called “how long does it take for the guy to start making silly noises with his mouth” and the twist is the answer is always ten seconds or less

It was a fine sounding, yet forgettable album. Each song sounded the same, which isn't bad by itself, but there was nothing that stood out.

what the fuck is that annoying ass fucking instrument in fucking "roller coaster" it is *way* too pronounced and fucks with everything else in the song i hate hate hate hate it however, the rest surprised me. pretty solid! i expected it to be pretentious and annoying because of the band and album names (and to some degree the album art; although i like it, i was sure i knew what i was gonna hear from the art alone), but i was happy to be wrong. there are a couple of genres dear to my heart in this one (garage rock chief among them), and there are some really interesting almost Stones-y or even Doors-y sounds coming from whatever this vocalist's name is (too lazy to Google). i think there were some risks taken here, which is always cool. it's the 60s, so people are doing whatever they want, and i think that's rad. some risks paid off more than others, but that's okay. overall i think this album offers some good variety and unique sounds, but i don't know how often i'd revisit it by choice.

Almost completely un-listenable for me. I don’t think it’s a 1 in any musical sense but I simply cannot stomach it at this time. 1.5-2

On Roller Coaster, you’re telling me a pigeon cooed this beat? They didn’t even credit the bird. I think there are better examples from this era. It wasn’t unlistenable though.

I’ve been meaning to listen to this forever and now I did and I kinda forgot most of it. I liked Splash One. Very good album art.

boo-boO-booOOp These random assortments of noises were a stain on this otherwise decent album, and I hoped in vain at the start of every track that I'd heard the last of it. Finding out that these rarely musical elements were somehow made by a dude vocalizing into a glass jug in front of a mic? Sort of impressive, maybe more annoying. I went on to learn that the "electric jug" "musician", Tommy Hall, is living in squalor in the Bay Area and doing "research" to unlock the meaning of life through 60+ years of psychedelic drug use. When asked about what he's learned: "I could try to explain it, but my mind would revert to the pure mathematical state required for horizontal thinking. You will just have to wait until I put it in writing." Anyways, I liked the spring reverb-drenched guitars and the cutting vocals. Psych rock is really interesting, and at times irritating.

This is okay. Cool sounds for the era, especially the opening track. Nice guitar work tat sounds better than most of what you find from the mid 60's. I don't love the singing, and the overall vibe doesn't do anything for me. This may well have been influential at the time, but it now feels a bit lost to time. Very middle of the road 3 stars, didn't hate it, didn't love it.

Blow that jug young man!

those sound effects though...

11# Rucurucurucurucurucrucurucurucurucurucurucuru If you would let me know in advance that this would be the album for a valentines saturday and i have nothing to do i would've made the precautions and bought a kilogram of weed to trip balls to this. Never heard of this, i can only compare this with Strawberry fields by the beatles but rougher, or the doors without an audio engineer, or the kinks without catchy tunes. Ok, i can think of some comparisons. Why is someone always incantating something inside my ear, its not evil, neither is it good, their intentions are ambiguous. After watching the film Apocalypse Now, this fits really well. I tripped.. and fell 13th floors.

Not for me

You're gonna miss me - 4 Roller coaster - 4 Splash one (now I'm home) - 3 Reverberation - 3 Don't fall down - 3 Fire engine - 3 Through the rhythm - 3 You don't know - 4 Kingdom of heaven - 3 Monkey island - 3 Tried to hide - 4

Not bad.

2026.02.12

Mildly irritating eh.

no lo terminé pero nice

MUY BUENO encima es del 66, me gustó mucho el arte de la tapa también, siento que pega bastante con la onda de los temas. me gusta mucho ese sonido de fondo que suena en la mayoría de los temas. me gusta que los temas sean cortos y concisos

Nothing particularly stood out, was not bad however.

Not a mood

Pretty good. I prefer when the psychedelic albums have melodies and lyrics rather than endless noodling.

It feels like they found one sound and used it on almost every track.

fun but not very special

Cool psychedelic sound, the songs don't really stick out or ask me to remember them but the album is nice while it lasts

surprised I've never heard of them solid psychedelic album, different moods

No major faults just didn’t particularly strike me as a great album. Still a good album. 👍

I dig it

Rocky Erikson’s bad trip.

fine except the doo doo doo doo doo is fucking annoying.

Many people have tried to convince me that since I like Psychedelic bands like Grateful Dead and Pink Floyd, I should love this album. I do not love this album. It's a very thin line between "love" and "tolerate". Near as I can tell, this album is considered "Psychedelic" because it was made by people who were on drugs. It's basically a Garage Rock album with some weird sounds going on underneath.

Good job, Roky!! 4

this is a pretty okay garage rock record, all things considered. Roky Erickson is a compelling frontman, and the band behind him is decent enough. "You're Gonna Miss Me" was a minor hit, and it's endured as a classic of the psych underground. in fact, the 13th Floor Elevators were probably the band that coined the term "psychedelic rock". there's a lot of history here, but also one glaring issue. an empty jug can be played as an instrument by buzzing your lips near its mouth. the resulting tone is low and hoarse, and typically in a bass register. I mention this because the 13th Floor Elevators' jug player, Tommy Hall, seems to have missed this memo. instead, he holds it up to his mouth and goes "dugudugudu" in a goofy falsetto. he does this on nearly every song. it gets annoying almost instantly. shout-out to Hall for having the gusto to form an entire band and personal lifestyle around the use of psychedelic drugs, but I think the clarity of sobriety might have spared us from a terrible fate as listeners. apparently he became a Scientologist later in life, which I'm not sure is much better. strong 4/10.

Поки це найгірший альбом з усіх. Це звучить жахливо і не цікаво жахливо, а просто жахливо

I think as an obscure late 60's psychedelic album featuring electric jug this is pretty great. If you take away that lens and ignore its place in the history of modern music, I'm not sure it really holds up. I felt like the recording was pretty messy and the songwriting was pretty simple and predictable. This album is pretty fun but I don't feel like musical really offers that much.

Great psychedelic rock album! Honestly, the only bad thing I have to say about it is that the "electric jug" sound quickly got annoying. Other than that, they've got everything I love about psychedelic rock music.

Seems like this album is much more impactful in the context of its time. The blending of psychedelic sounds and classic rock and roll is groundbreaking, but seems kind of played out now. Still some fun songs.

nothing memorable here sounds a bit dated

Ehhh didn’t stick out for me

Couldn’t get through the full 1hr 30 min album. Every song sounds the same

Love it!

I think they took "psychadelic rock" a bit too literally, because this is so psychadelic that it's actually annoying. For like half the album I can't even tell what's going on or what instrument is playing because there's too much happening all at once, it's completely mind numbing. This feels more like getting hit by a train than having an insane trip on psychadelics.

Não gostei muito.

My absolute favorite moment of the entire album is the intro and first drum hit on Reverberation. You can tell this was super influential for groups like The Stooges. Not sold on the electric jug though. Favorite songs were You’re Gonna Miss Me, Roller Coaster, Reverberation, and Tried To Hide.

Pretty groovy album !! I can’t say I’m a big fan though, a lot of the album was just loads of sounds… Fav song is ‘You’re Gonna Miss Me’.

I like psychedelic rock but this feels like the kind of album I’d pick up out of the $1 bin at a record shop. It begs the question, as so many of these do: why is it two volumes? Does it need to be this long when each song sounds basically like the one before it? It’s not bad, it’s just leaving me uninspired.

psychedelic indeed

This was reasonably good fun early psychedelia. It had some good grooves on it (far out man) without ever being that remarkable. I guess it would have been hugely out there for the time, but then overtaken really swiftly by some people who were prepared to take things much further.

You're gonna miss me

It didn't particularly appeal to me. It was middle of the road again. I could stand to listen to it but nothing stood out for me.

Awesome sound, I liked this

I was already familiar with this album before listening. It is a pretty neat album. It is classified as psychedelic, but honestly it sounds more like garage to me for the most part. The track You're Gonna Miss Me is the standout, but the entire album is worthwhile. I would listen to this again for sure.

Wie der Name sagt: psychedelisch

Didn't know what to expect past the word psychedelic, so read a review that slightly influenced my thoughts. Thought this album was awesome. It was drawn out trippy psychedelic that goes on to long. It had energy behind it, it was fun. I can understand how it floats around punk. The wah wah effect that I can only assume is an "electric jug" is kind of cool, but doesn't vary much between songs and gets old. Maybe could've done without - despite that guy being a founder.

Very cool for about 15 minutes. The mouth/jug sounds (bop bop bop bop) got so exhausting after that.

bit too grainy and wacky

Did not enjoy.

A historically important album that is essential for this list IMO. It's known for being the first ever album known to include the word 'psychedelic' in the title, and boy oh boy did the band live up to that connotation. The album itself is a manic & wild ride, pure 60s psych rock goodness simulating an acid trip -- but Tommy Hall's jug playing gives the entire thing an utterly unique, alien feeling that is honestly hard to encapsulate in words. It would feel sinister if it wasn't so fun.

This is pure proto punk. There are even familiar some riff's that appeared on punk and sleaze records ten+ years later.

I listened the QFPS Version of the album, which I hadn't heard before, and not the original version of the album which was heavily influence by their label that first released it. This album is pretty much what I look for in a 60's and 70's rock record. Beatles and Rolling Stones et. al. do not do it for me in the slightest. Roky Erickson on the other hand, oh boy! What a wonderful album this is.

It’s a psychedelic band whose singer was later diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia and was treated to electroshock therapy. Pretty good stuff

The first track and “Fire engine” are my favorite. The rest sounds more or less the same. I had this album when I was younger, but feel like I never really listened to it-I can now see why.

Solid 3.5 Not the greatest psychedelic rock record, but feels very influential for 1966. A core record for the canon

Maybe the best name of the psychedelic era, but I always got them confused with the Electric Prunes’ “Had too much to dream last night” so this has always been a disappointing listen for that dumb reason.

8 This list is throwing out some banger psychedelic albums! There’s a sound that’s used a few times in songs in this album and I don’t know what it is or how it’s made but it sounds kind of super ragged cartoon heavy breathing and I love it

Pretty interesting stuff. Big time LSD soundtrack.

i listened to this in a fugue state and that’s prob why i liked it so much

I totally get why this album made the curator’s list. I feel like I’ve heard every track before even though I haven’t. It’s just so… 60’s psychedelic rock. Hard pass.

Exactly what you'd expect based on the album cover, but also good.

Klingt wie 1970 ist aber aus 2010 Keine Ahnung was das werden soll

Never heard of them. Had a lot of fun, checking the reviews the woopwoopwoop electric jug is polarizing but it's my kind of weird (I mean I think Zoidberg's the funniest thing)

This album is such a great one, I've loved listening to it, it flows with such taste and with some great songs too... It's not my go-to album, but I have to admit I enjoyed a lot listening to it.

“The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators” features a more or less classic four-piece band and an electric jug. This actually makes sense, as the band play their 60s psychedelic rock pretty well and Tommy Hall fills in his jug like a virtuoso - the middle part of "Roller Coaster" is a great example of this. Many of the songs - take e.g. "You're Gonna Miss Me", or "You Don't Know" would work without the jug but are indeed enhanced by its use. Unfortunately, to my knowledge, Tommy Hall is the only person who has achieved world fame in this way, and so knowledge of the musical use of the electric jug has been largely lost today. However, the bubbling of my espresso maker, which is not yet quite synchronized, shows me that the potential is still there. Let anyone say that reality is only for people who can't handle drugs!

tiene algo crudo que está bueno pero se vuelve medio repetitivo

#9/1001 🇺🇸 Released in 1965 this would be one of the earliest "psych" records and you can hear it's influence right through the last 60 years. It has a raw garage flavour - its great to hear the band wigging out and Roky Erikson, the singer screaming his lungs out - reminds me a bit of Robert Plant. There a few great tracks on here like You're gonna miss me and Splash 1. I was also familiar with Reverberation - it was covered by Jesus and Mary Chain. The big but for me however is the bloody annoying vocal sound which appears on most tracks(* Edit wikipedia tells me this is an electric jug.. why did i then go down the rabbit hole of electric jug playing). I guess it was fun holed up in a studio on LSD but it just grates by the 3rd time you hear it. Influential 5/5 Songs 3/5 Jug 1/5

pain to listen to tbh

2.5 - Meh

2.5 - ok got a little worn out by the end

… hm. I don’t know. I got pretty bored. I respect it for the role it played in inventing the genre, apparently, but the genre was improved upon in subsequent records from other groups. Can’t see myself ever having any real desire to revisit any tracks off this one -> two stars it is

Has an energy. Reminds me of Eric Burden and the Animals. The first track, You’re Gonna Miss Me, is the only song I was familiar with. Solid song. The whole album is pretty good I think, it’s listenable for sure. I wouldn’t say there’s another track that particularly stands out, but I can’t say they’re bad.

this dubba dubba doo dida doobda doo shit in the backgorund is so annoying

Loved it. Very cool. Very psychedelic.

3.5 stars. Trail-blazing 60's psychedelic rock. Probably an album that was better in it's day, though it was still a pretty decent listen today. Best track is upbeat leadoff "You're Gonna Miss Me" which is reminiscent of the Rolling Stones. Other standouts are "Kingdom of Heaven" and "Tried to Hide".

“You’re Gonna Miss Me” was a song I had heard before, so it jumped at me. Everything else kinda just felt like simple standard 60s-70s movie hangout background music. That’s not a dig, just an assessment and feeling toward the music. I enjoyed the vibe, but nothing stuck with me after listening.

It was okay. I didn’t love it. I didn’t hate it. Wouldn’t get much replay value out of it. I’ll revisit it in a few months and see if anything has changed.

Just one of the best albums of all time

meh not a bit of me

Didn't offend me, but not really my thing. Nothing stood out to me and I'm unlikely to listen again. I can see why some would like it though.

This probably sounded pretty interesting and crazy in 1966. So I'll give them that. But in 2026 it just sounds like shit.

<3 <3 <3

“You think that you’re strong when you’re only straining You think that you have when you’re only claiming” It is immediately obvious how this is a foundational album for Psychedelic Rock music. The album title itself was the first time the word “psychedelic” was used in that way and throughout the run time we get all the hallmarks of the late 60s movement. I enjoyed almost all the tracks well enough but my main issue is this: Psychedelic Rock would become so much better within the years following the album’s release. “Electric Ladyland” came out in 1968 and if I had not heard that before listening to this I think The 13th Floor Elevators would have impressed me more. It’s also worth noting that “Revolver” came out in August 1966 and laid the foundations for Psychedelic Rock in a far more imaginative way. I can’t knock the album at all it is perfectly good at doing what it does. The issue is that others would do it better than them within a matter of months.

One of the discoveries from the list! Amazing psychedelic (a term they have apparently coined) rock. Not a bad song on the album. This will go on my to-buy list for sure. This still sounds fabulous and I can only imagine how this must have sounded in 1966.

3.5/5 good vibes

gooddd

Kinda like early Beatles or Who. More experimental.

rating the original tracklist, i'm not sitting through 27 tracks on spotify lol You're Gonna Miss Me - 5/5 Roller Coaster - 4/5 Splash 1 (Now I'm Home) - 4/5 Reverberation (Doubt) - 4/5 Don't Fall Down - 3/5 Fire Engine - 3/5 Thru the Rhythm - 4/5 You Don't Know (How Young You Are) - 4/5 Kingdom of Heaven - 3/5 Monkey Island - 3/5 Tried to Hide - 3/5 Average score: 3.6/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️ the jug was interesting at first, but hearing it consistently in my ear started to sound a little obnoxious and distracting as the album went on overall, i guess the album was somewhat enjoyable, though the recording sounds a little rough on my ears personally. singer is a little too screechy for my liking as well

I love this album. It brings me back to when I would hang out at the local record shop and thrive in the sounds of psych. Highly rated but not in my current personal taste. I have this record in my collection.

A bit too psychedelic for my taste.

Brilliant. First time listener and I love it. Somehow makes a lot of noise, has a dance groove, and fried the brain. Superb. And the guitars and voice sound huge

After a few listens have really got into it. Admittedly had never heard of the group.

Seems that listeners are divided between those who think the garage production and use of electric jug is a bug, and those who see it as a feature. I'm the latter. Along with the Doors and Love, one of the bands that best balance the light and dark of 60s acid rock. The guitar sounds great, Roky is an amazing frontman and vocalist, and underneath the gonzo weirdness is a bunch of classic rock and roll tunes, expertly delivered. I love this album.

Ok, it’s pretty cool, especially given it’s from the mid-60s, but it’s a bit samey after a while.

So this is here because it's the earliest known use of the word "psychedelic" on an album title? It's shit.

Such a spectacular snapshot of the 60s psych movement. Came late to these guys, but so great to revisit them.

4.9

3/10

Not as bad as people talked it out to be. Only thing that really bothered me was the wubwubti that was on every single song

Very very 60/70s. Rolling stones-esque

Un vieux classique de ma période "le psychédélisme c'est quand même peut-être hot", mais malgré plusieurs écoute, j'ai jamais rentré dedans, je l'ai toujours trouvé un peu underwhelming. La pochette est vraiment cool par contre

Sound horrifying, sad, boring, and hilarious simultaneously.

A fun, albeit slightly crazed, take on 60s psychedelia. It's certainly ahead of its time (if only by about a year) and has decent instrumentation to back it up. The drumming throughout the album is fantastic. Very heavy when it needs to be, light at other times, and the fills are just the right about of engaging without going overboard. The basswork is also extremely dynamic. It's what listeners like myself vastly prefer instead more stationary basslines (which unfortunately tend to be more common pre-70s). The singing is fine but doesn't do much to distinguish itself from more famous contemporaries. Production-wise, the recording (at least in the mono mix) is very rough-around-the-edges, almost like garage rock. Not my thing at all. Records like this are in desperate need of a remaster. Roller Coaster is defined by its strange background sound effect, which is halfway between a high, monotone monkey noise and a rag being rubbed against wet glass. At least, I thought it would only be Roller Coaster. But Reverberation has the same effect. As does Thru the Rhythm, and Tried to Hide, and You Don't Know. In fact, nearly all the tracks feature noises from what I dub the "monotonously horny primate", including the main single You're Gonna Miss Me (though in that case it's far back in the mix). Turns out it comes from a band member whose sole purpose is to vocalise against an electric jug, creating one of the most annoying noises known to music (certainly in psychedelia). The band must know it's pretty irritating and monkeylike – heck, the album's penultimate track is called Monkey Island, and has one of the most prominent electric jug parts of the whole record. I'm not sure I want to reward these decisions with a positive rating. 2/5 Key tracks: You're Gonna Miss Me, Don't Fall Down, Kingdom of Heaven

I’m only giving this one star because you don’t have a choice but to give something one star. If it was up to me it would be removed from the list. I kept waiting for something redeemable in this record and it never happened.

It was psychedelic and....wobbly???? Fine but nothing stood out to me more than the wobble that seemed to happen on most of the tracks.

Weird for weird’s sake.

A decent album of groovy sounds; it was rather enjoyable. An electric jug, you say? Are they due for a revival? It certainly produced an unusual sound (and yes, I went down a TikTok rabbithole finding out about them). I'm rounding up to four, due to the psychedelia enhancing, rather than killing, the groove.

Buenísimo. No le doy las 5 estrellas por dos motivos muy puntuales, pero las canciones me encantaron, tienen toda la onda del mundo y me encontré varios riff guitarreros a los que voy a estar volviendo constantemente. Lo que no me gustó: esto está grabado con las patas. Me vi obligado a escuchar la versión mono y estereo que viene en spotify, y el mono se escucha como tallar un pizarrón con piedra pomes. No sé para qué suben eso. Y la otra cosa que no me gustó: en muchas de las canciones, hay un instrumento extrañísimo que suena como una vuvuzela, que no sé para qué demonios metieron y que lejos de sonar como algo atractivo, terminó fastidiando y estorbándome. Pero muy buen disco.

I know this album came out in the sixties, but boy is that mixing Not Good. Hearing the vocals was most certainly a trial. Outside of that, this was an average psychedelic album. I thought the song title of "Don't Fall Down" was cute coming from this band and album name, at least. "Fire Engine" had that surfer sound like in "Wipe Out," which preceded this album by 3 years. Definitely a 2.

This was pretty generic psychedelic rock music. I didn't dislike it, but definitely wasn't wowed by it. Other reviews alluded to a specific "noise" that is used throughout the album; I can confirm that I both heard it and disliked it. It almost sounds like scratching a vinyl jacket with your fingernails over and over and over and over...and over. Probably around a 2.5 for me, but not motivated to round up, as while this was listenable, it didn't stand out and was pretty forgettable.

May be displaying my lack of intellect but I wish all these songs were 13 minutes

Wanted to like this but it didn’t catch me right

Probably the least offensive psychedelic rock I've heard so far.

"mom said you have to let me use my new electric jug in this song too" i think this is what i thought the rolling stones were supposed to sound like. favorite song is Through The Rhythm, or weirdly Don't Fall Down

Rating: 6/10 It’s not bad, and even something I might think is pretty cool given more time with it. It’s weird and trippy and I’ll have to keep this one mind if I go through some 60’s psych some time in the future

Not great, an hour and a half of the same thing, until Fire Engine came along which was especially quite bad 3.2/10

I Tried to Hide from the Reverberation of this album. You Don't Know how much I'm going to try to forget Through the Rythym. 4 // 10

I can't believe people hate the jug. You're all too jugmental.

ik it's kinda bad but i like it

The definition of psychedelia. This album is also highly sought after in record format because of its popularity and importance.

Very enjoyable

It was okay. Psychedelic stuff does not hold up that well.

Sounds like these guys took a lot of drugs and saw a lot of Rolling Stones concerts. I quite liked the stuff that didn't have screeching harmonica in it. The guy making constant 'durka durka durka durka" sounds throughout most of the tracks gets annoying after a while although he did give the band quite a unique sound. But I can see why they never hit the big time.

Pigeon sounds make this unlistenable. Could be interesting without it.

Overall: 6/10 Haha that jug is so weird. It woukd have been fine as a novelty on one song but it dominates this album in the weirdest way. I've never heard anything like it. Besides that, this is a garage rock album that really isn't as psychedelic as I had hoped. The songs are pretty good though. The production is kind of ass and I don't like how this entire album sounds. I'd still recommend it, but try to get over the jug lol Fav Song: Reverberation

One of the genre-defining psychedelic records, this one. Starting from the cover art to the music itself. The performance is inherently experimental: it’s bubbling, it’s warbling, it’s spellbinding, it’s hypnotic, it’s sprawling, and it’s constantly shape-shifting. Roky Erickson does an amazing job of bringing in an additional odd element. A far cry from the similarly groundbreaking Piper at the Gates of Dawn’s academic approach, the 13th Floor Elevators primarily draw from rock ’n’ roll’s primal intensity and passion. As a result, it’s one of the rawest staples of the genre. Occasionally the band ventures into more melodic and laid-back territory on the third track, which invites comparisons to the later released Jefferson debut. Thhe 13th Floor Elevators were truly ahead of their time.

I get a similar vibe from The 13th Floor Elevators as I do from Big Star; a band from the 70's playing a version of rock music (with a lil country twang) who went unappreciated in their time. It definitely seems like 13th Floor Elevators were onto something. This is a more listenable version of psych rock than I've heard recently. At times it has a punk energy that makes me understand just how heavily Meat Puppets borrowed from the Elevators. High praise aside, I did enjoy the album, but not a whole lot. This isn't essential to me, but I may be convinced otherwise someday.

Didn't impress too much.

Random thoughts about this album: 1. This confirms my general dislike of 60's psychedelic rock. 2. I do not like the electric jug. I thought I'd get used to it, but mostly it annoyed me when it was used. 3. There is a very good reason the electric jug is not commonly used. 4. The only song I actually enjoyed is the one that I don't think had any of the electric jug, which is Splash 1. Not sure if this will get a one or a two rating. It depends on whether Splash 1 was enough to put it over the top and I haven't yet decided.

Interesting

Cool proto-punk sound mixed with psychedelia. "You're Gonna Miss Me" is an all-time banger. Never knew what instrument makes that wubba wubba sound. Maybe spare its use a little bit? Anyway, good times.

Strong 3

Hard to listen to, weird sounds, 2

I found absolutely no joy in this at all.

Kanske bara är trött men näe

Interesting, a little chaotic and unfocused

Actually kinda good? I'm honestly surprised. By no means is it anything groundbreaking, it's not like I found a new favourite band or anything, but I think this is an alright album, fun here and there. If I were born just in time to be able to listen to this upon its release, I'd have enjoyed it tons more.

Another example of a dusty old historical record that does not reach out from the 60s and provides entertainment in 2025. Kinda interesting at times but ultimately quite forgettable.

Not really my thing

It's a good album, but not my favorite I liked but not so much. The songs are very simillar.

Nice sound, mix of zeppelin and the stones, would have been four stars without the jug. You need to know when to stop

Was ok, nothing really stood out to me

Fine, nothing really grabbed my attention. Very early psychedelic and you can hear how it shaped what we now see as that style. I feel like I'd have to go back and really give this one a solid listen to appreciate it.

avg

Yeah this was fun to listen to. Probably wouldn’t recommend it though overall.

Surprised I'd never heard of these before but I was really impressed with the sound of this considering the age of the album, especially compared to the velvet underground album from yesterday that was 2 years later

I. LOVE. THIS. Not what I normally listen to, but I LOVE THIS.

oh man, lots of fun. Needed to be lying on the floor staring at lasers on the ceiling though.

The acid must have been great back then.

great now i'm high

Definite period curiosity piece.

I only heard of them through the Nuggets resurrection (thanks, Scott) and they easily deserve it. Off-beat yet rootsy, these psych pioneers lead to many avenues for discovery I like traveling. Even some surf! A delight.

A perfectly fine example of The 60s but I’m pretty underwhelmed. Nothing stood out for me but not a difficult listen.

I was worried by the album's title. The "psychedelic sounds" of anything gives me pause and this sounded exactly like what I feared it might. I mean, sure, it's groovy, baby. But I'll take my trip without the soundtrack, please.

these guys are cool, though i've never really crossed over to being a fan. i dig the attitude more than the final product, i guess.

When I was in junior high I would have listened to this on repeat. Now I find it kind of cringey and mediocre.

We're on a roll of bad albums it seems. wish.com led zeppelin over here i put a 1 because its the only album so far i cant see myself re-listening to any of it. also, i know its old, but holy the recording quality is atrocious

After you get used to the mono sound it hits you that this album is the work of genius. It was so fucking far out of the norm it set the standard for what psychedelic rock should sound like. A mix of fuzz and distortion fuels songs about love and loss with the sound of Texas echoing through the record. Roku was misunderstood, higher than a kite, but precise- lyrics are, at all times, fucking on point. You’re Gonna Miss Me, Rollercoaster, and Fire Engine are stone cold classics and you can trace every psych rock band’s catalog back to these three songs. Reverberation is another can’t miss track. This is idiosyncratic and it is Roky’s mental state and energy that gives this album its direction that they never achieved again. But what an impact on future generations especially today with Black Angels, New Candys, and host of other new psych rock bands finding success on Fuzz Club and Levitation records labels. 5/5

Meh. Not for me.

I can appreciate these guys for setting the stage for psychedelic grunge rock. It’s raw, dirty and imperfect while still delivering an in-your-face banshee howl sound. But holy shit that overused amplified jug is annoying. I thought I was listening to Curly from the Three Stooges running around in circles trippin’ balls on acid. Unfortunately that kills any hopeful vibes.

Some cool stuff here, but let’s just say I got the point of this well before the album wrapped.

Sounds like 60s psychedelic rock. Didn’t really do it for me. 2.25

What the eff is that mumbling White Lotus-esque sound on most of the songs??? This would have been an easy three without that shite, but I am rounding down cuz it annoyed the shit out of me. 2.25/5

Holy shit, more 60s garage/psych that I've never heard of? This list is a wealth of those bands. I just wish they didn't sound 90% the same.

Got into them through Primal Scream's cover of Slip Inside this House (the cover is better IMHO). Shades of Janis Joplin and the 70s rambling psych rock is fine but not really a top album for me.

I guess it’s an innovative album, and it has a couple decent tunes, but I’m left pretty cold by it. The guitar tone is grating, the production is bad, and the songs feel really half-baked.

Pretty cool, definitely an album to listen to while driving around by yourself at night(maybe just me).

I thought I knew this band but didn't recognize anything. I did enjoy it though.

4.8/10

Härlig old-schoolpsykadelia!

En härlig spinn på det klassiska soundet från 60(?)-talet. Fräscht!

Damn, riktigt coolt sound!

1/5

- psykerock on ihan hyvä laji - tää levy oli ihan alright mutta ei selkeestikään mikään klassikko

Super fun record. The sounds are incredible and it is super tight album too. There is this like monkey tremolo sound in the back the whole time that is fucking awesome

Must say I was hoping this would take me the way that Moby Grape did. But alas it did not. That like sound they use on a few tracks tho is so awesome and their sound is really dang cool. Feeling 3.5 for this guy

Loved this. Very forward for 1965, and incredibly unpolished.

After a while the wopawopawoo was all I could here. Interesting experiment, but I think they threw it all away on that one ever-present sound. Maybe it would work better if I was high.

Meh it all sounded like the same song lol

This is fine and mostly enjoyable, but they definitely get carried away with the amplified jug. It works as a novelty for a song or two, but it’s pretty overdone by the end.

Best Song: Kingdom of Heaven. I like that it feels like the most knock-off version of Stairway to Heaven. Worst Song: Monkey Island. A chaotic song that never seemed to have a point or rhythm to it. Overall: If this whole list has taught me anything, it is to be wary whenever I see an album with 25+ songs. It almost always betrays an inability to edit, wherein the artists seem to have just uncritically dumped every attempted song into one big pile. This album is no different.

Good mix of psychedelic and early proto-punk.

Enjoyable, but there was this annoying sound on most of the songs that was distracting.

I’ve never heard of this, and am about 60 years from this feeling relevant. I did read that it’s considered a major influence on succeeding bands, and I can give them a point for being innovators. As a listen though, it’s ok mid-60s psychedelia-influenced rock that I’d prefer not to listen to.

Crap

So much weird shit going on in the background of this album. I really liked some of this but that weird shit is very distracting...

Concerned as I’ve found I’m not a fan of 60s Psych Rock. The name and cover lead me to believe it’ll be filled with 60s Psych Rock. Let’s go… It’s an hour and a half, 27 songs. Not bad! Def not as “psychedelic” as I feared. More jangly guitar songs and awkward lyrics. Kinda adorable. I’ll be generous with a 3/5. Won’t relisten, but I enjoyed a taste. Also quickly realised that that the version on Apple Music is a “remaster” so not a full 27 song album. The original recordings (in Mono) then a stereo desk mix run. I’ve stuck with the original recordings. 11 songs of this is totally doable.

Very cool. Got to be a bit repetitive, but still enjoyable. I didn’t know that Roky Erickson was in this band.

This is definitely weirdo 60’s pysch rock album ina good way.

its not bad, its kinda funny knowing that they probably did this under the influence of weed. Not going back but it was an okay experience.

some great songs / music but as a whole I didn't love it

Everything about this, from the artwork to the band name to the music, feels like a pastiche of a typical 60s psychedelic band, perhaps created for an Austin Powers-style movie. But nope, this was a real, legit group from the earliest days of psychedelia, nailing the whole look and feel of the scene in one fell swoop. The actual tunes are a bit average to be honest - there are far better 60s psych records out there - but it has its moments, and surely deserves credit for its pioneering use of the 'electric jug'. 2.5.

This is definitely up my alley- maybe I should be more familiar with it

I wanted to like this one more than I did. Track 1 rips

Roky Erickson kicks your dad’s ass.

Great 60s rock

Unexpected, a novel discovery, with some good songs in there.

I would enjoy more elevator rides and grocery store trips if this were on muzac... Trippy without being too out there. Is it psychedelic, or actually more garage grunge? Album quality isn't perfect, but it was the 60s....but electric jug? wtf? Listened before? N Saved tracks? N Favorite Tracks: You’re Gonna Miss Me, Roller Coaster, Splash 1, Reverberation, Fire Engine, You Don’t Know, Kingdom of Heaven, Tried To Hide ⭐⭐⭐. Liked it ok

Psychedelic is not my favorite flavor of rock music. I'm trying to wrap my head around what the heck an electric jug would even look like. Is that what that annoying background noise is? There was way too much of that. Listened before? N Saved to library? N Favorite track(s): N/A ⭐⭐: Didn't like it, didn't hate it. Saved no tracks.

Wacky album for sure -- I do think the second half is weaker than the first, whether is it due to the novelty wearing off or just straight up better execution.

Mostly had the same groove and cadence as every other 60's rock. Had some psychadelic elements that were pretty good, but also sounded like it was recorded through an empty soup can

Assumed what this would sound like, and it does. It's fine. Nothing jumped out at me though for some psychedelic 60's rock n roll

One good ish tune (the album opener) and then the rest fairly generic 60's pysch rock (probably being unfair as these guys apparently invented the genre). There is a good reason why the electric jug never caught on.

That electronic jug gets annoying in the background of every song. Maybe they were pioneers, but every song sounds like it has a better version done by someone else.

Pretty boring given their contemporaries. Feels pretty half hearted. I can’t remember who but someone in my life that I played with loves this band and this album and I know way too much about this band than I want to. Still don’t love it. Teetering between two and three, nothing on here makes me want to come back but I love the little doodleloodleloddleloo sound throughout this thing, really ruins like half the songs but at least it’s funny.

Yeah, it’s wide-ranging and psychedelic - appreciate all it contains, but it does get tiresome after a while

Wow

Great

I imagine this trippy stuff blew some minds in deeply conservative Texas in the 60s. I can hear the influence on fellow future Texas weirdos the Butthole Surfers for sure. Interesting. 3.5/5 #213

This was interesting. Like listening to early Stones, kind of? ⭐⭐⭐

Not a bad listen, nothing i outright hated, but also nothing that i really loved. The album cover is a great, and some of the musical composition is unique. The electric jug is absolutely horrible though Probably won’t listen again

I liked it but don’t know if it will stick with me. Pretty groovy and intricate at points. Made me think of Gizz. I’d still prefer a lot of modern psych rock over it, biases not aside.

I apologize to the 13th Floor Elevators, I was not familiar with your game. Weed from today would kill 95% of people alive in 1966 but these fuckers are the 5%, who knows what they were on when they made this but that probably banged. I don't really have song by song thoughts because I thought the whole album blended together really beautifully, the theme throughout is dark yet jolly in a really gripping way that kept me thoroughly engaged. I don't know how the elevator became restricted to the 13th floor but that's where it belongs, this shit bangs and inspired the era of psychedelic rock that followed. A lot of people won't fuck with the electric jug that you'll hear throughout the album, which I understand. It's a distracting instrument, but I never found it too overwhelming to the rest of the sound. The things that keep this from being a 5 are that while I enjoyed how the album flowed and felt cohesive, the fact that no songs stood out and made me go "wow, THIS is the one" isn't great, and the electric jug could've been used a biiiit more sparingly, although to remove it completely would be to betray the spirit of this record.

First off, the album art is pretty cool and interesting. This album was cool and easy to listen to. Definitely interested in listening to more of their stuff. 3/5

Own this album, music history, Austin TX the birthplace of psych rock, Led zeppelin singer was studying this. First dudes to take acid and put a mic in a jug and call it an instrument??

Patchouli-Core Pre-Thoughts: - I loved this album in college, and Roky Erikson is a very singular artist and someone I looked up to for a time. - Excited to dive back into this, and I'm really hoping (even though we've been listening to a lot of old stuff) that the rest of the gang appreciates this. -Their cover of Baby Blue on Easter Everywhere is amazing. During Thoughts: -Listening to the original Mono LP version in the spirit of when it was created, if im up to it I'm gonna try the different mixes and see how its different, but a remaster for these kinds of records can be hit or miss. - I think I love how garage-y it sounds, when I hear this album I'm put into a time and place. This is hippie shit for sure. - I can totally see why Rokys vocals would turn you off - I think I have such a soft spot for listening to these kind of bands bc you can hear them trying to push the boundaries of what is known to them at the time. - I like that its dark without always really meaning to be, theres nice variation and flow on the album. Post Thoughts: - This album feels relevant to my listening journey and generally important to music from release date on. - I think theres small lulls on the track list but overall it's a strong showing. - The electric jug works for the band and works against the band sometimes. - Something tells me there's still bands out there using this album as a blueprint for their sound. - I truly think this gives you everything you want from a record like this. The drug-inspired lyrics and howling vocal, the instrumentation and creative flourishes, the atmosphere, and the jams that feel grounded. - I definitely think its worth it to check out their live bootlegs because I'm sure they expand on these ideas from here. Backlog Listens: Zombie by Fela Kuti and Afrika 70 - This is a 5 banger easily, Im pissed I didnt finish this in time to review. Rules in every way, love the layers and the song length. AND a protest album on top of it all? Badass. Armed Forces by Elvis Costello and The Attractions - 2/5. I think theres something here to unpack about his lyrics bc obviously they are vitriolic in relation to the politics that were happening around him at the time, I just really feel like this is a bad point of entry to me. This album sounds like something an old head would talk down to me about. New Wave was important at the time but it just doesnt translate well to my tastes or imo to a modern audience. I used to cover Peace Love and Understanding for a band I was in, so that track is kinda fun.

Listened to this while I schooled mark in fifa. It was groovy beats I think it would be good hacky sack music

Impressed by the sound for when this came out. I’m a garage rock fan and this seems to me like a pioneer of the genre which is cool. Shoutout the Austin boys! I enjoyed it but wasn’t enamored either.

3.1/5 Deceivingly good. Thought this was gonna be some wack mushroom tripping shit based on the name of artist and album, but actually vibed to it. Nothing revolutionary in my eyes but did add a few songs to the ole playlists.

Great album, not the best psych rock out there but worth a listen

Oooh this is top notch psych rock with the great Roky Erickson on vocals and although a bit repetitive I bet it was a wild time and it reeks of short skirts and jaybirds filled with the devils lettuce. Freak out man!

Can honestly say this is the first time I've heard an electric jug, and unfortunately it is underwhelming.

relatively classic psychedelia in the vein of late-70s to mid-80s.

Ok music, with some nice parts, but it all sounds the same after a while

Raw, reverby, bluesy rock with a very slight psychedelic twist when viewed through a modern lens. Im certain at the time the psychedelia was far more pronounced. As it is, it sounds like a pretty solid Stones album. Vocals are dynamite. I like some of the jug moments and at other times i feel they detract from the flow of the tunes. It does set the album apart from other similar albums of the time though i suppose and it adds an air of strangeness and mysticism. Overall a pretty sick album well worth revisiting. Favourite track - You're Gunna Miss Me. 8.5/10

Yo también estoy cansada de darle un 3 a las cosas pero genuinamente no me parece que sea para más, tiene un sonido que se asemeja al de los Beatles sin su esencia ni su catchyness. Me gustó incursionar en cosas similares de la época, pero no me fue muy memorable. Las que guardé: Splash 1, Reverberation, You Don't Know

Esto SÍ es un imprescindible, aprendan anglos. Por cómo suena, por la época en que propone estos sonidos, por la implicación social de estos sonidos, etc., etc. Agitador desde la trascendencia de las melodías y su encadenamiento, no a base de aporrear instrumentos para que suenen altos, banco. Absolutos bangers: Roller Coaster, Splash 1, You Don't Know, Tried To Hide, Kingdom of Heaven (esta ya la había escuchado lol no me acordaba)

3.5 good but not the best thing ever to exist lol

A totally fine 1960s rock album made required listening by being one of the first psychedelic rock album to hit the public ears. Electric jug as an instrument is very fun. I am glad I listened to it but probably will not revisit. Progenitors get the short end of the stick like that sometimes.

nice enough

I usually find these 60's Psych Rock bands that I have never heard before to be pretty boring, but this one stands out. I don't think it is great, but I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. Roller Coaster was my favorite song. High 3.

Yet another shitty 60s psyche album. This was one of the better ones I’ve listened to but it was still an ordeal to get through.

All a bit samey 5/10

ominously groovy (the roky erickson promise)

Ok listen but do not get the hype. The music did not grab me or move me.

The jug is bad. This much jug is absolute insanity. Does this just make the list because of the audacious amount of jug??

Better than I was expecting as most "60's psychedelic" stuff is just annoying noise. This would be better if it didn't have that annoying "wooboodooboodeebeedooboo" noise in the background of almost all the songs!

roller coaster has quite a cool sound. splash 1 is quite lovely. the electric jug being so prominent in every single song is really starting to annoy me. i listened to the original track listing versions decided by the band. nothing interested me enough to want to listen to another mix. all in all… didn’t really love it much. 2/5 ⭐️⭐️

Classic 60’s album .

2/3

Sounds like The Stooges
