The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators

middling psych rock as it is but the electric jug pushes this into unlistenable territory...like not even in a gauging the music way it genuinely gives me anxiety jifdufdu 2/10

That “electric jug” sounded like the record had a flat tire - not pleasant. Not surprising that it never caught on. Also not surprising that this band never caught on. Why is it here - because they were the first to use word “psychedelic” in the description of their music? I wound up listening to this album and then three more songs not on this by different bands (purely added by the algorithm) while driving and not noticing a difference. That says a lot.

Not really sure I van say anything positive about this album. It feels underproduced, janky, and disorganized. Very unpleasant listen

Wtf

Sounds like an Austin Powers music night. Not engaging enough for me.

Whatever they were doing with the second guitar(?) across the whole album was terrible.

Didn’t like the pervasive psychedelic bubbling sound. Some of the songs sounded like a soundtrack for a thriller.

Immediately the vocals made me think of The Sonics. I hated the Sonics. Hard pass for me - mono aggressively-jangly-garage-rock with stereotypical arrangements (other than an electric jug which adds....nothing?) is something I'll never listen to again. I suppose I've heard a lot worse but this was wholly unspectacular and wholly unenjoyable. 3/10 1 star

Are we surprised that the generation that liked this album also has poor taste in politicians

Terribad!

No thanks

I’m discovering that I have little patience for psychedelic music. I didn’t enjoy any of this. I could barely finish it. Yes there’s some interesting instrumentation. But I’m never listening to this again. 1.5/5

Psychedelic rock

Definitiv kein Album, welches zu den 1000 gehört, die man in zu Lebzeiten gehört haben sollte. Aber mit der Freigabe von Cannabis wieder hochaktuell, da nur bekifft zu ertragen... wie schon 1965 zur Erscheinung des Albums. Der Bandname verweist auf den 13.Buchstaben des Alphabets, M, für Marihuana. Leider muss zur Bewertung ein Stern vergeben werden....

Nice cover. Underwhelming music. A bit of a mess. A couple of funny sounds (electric jug!) in the background - over-used though across multiple songs. Lots of full-on drumming and frenzied singing. Not particularly mind-bending, though. I suspect it felt more psychedellic to them than it does to listen to. It's a messy Rolling Stones or Big Brother and the Holding Company. The weirdness of Fire Engine's vocal could be intriguing but the actual music is quite basic rock and roll. Nice vocals though and jazzy drumming on that track. Overall, a bad trip, really.

A double disc set of this? Please no. The electric jug was old 10 seconds into the first song. But 90 minutes of jug? Ga-barf.

Feels old man

SÄ OOT NIIN VITUN PIMEE!!! PIMEEE... tota sanaa käyttivät...kotona...abuse... ei silti tarvitse huume hörhöilyyn sortua... ja mikä vitun dugudugudugudugu kokoajan taustalla. joku electric jug jooh siitä vittu lähtee pois kaikki vähäinen nautinto mitä tässä oli roller coaster

The jug just ruins what is a pretty good album

What a bore. All of this sounds the same.

Another bland classic/alt/psychedelic rock album to throw on the pile

What the hell is that annoying noise? If it's the vaunted electric jug, I never want to hear it again.

Every song is ruined either by their favorite annoying instrument the electric jug or the singer caterwauling.

No sir. Did not like. Experimental…should have spent a bit more time gestating in the garage. Poop-de-doo

Nope. Just nope. Not the worst music I've ever heard, but seriously, I'm drifting off to sleep.

Good lord. So much of this was a pain to listen to. Nothing exceptional about the music, and the wailing vocals sucked.

Crap.

Shit was ass

Favourite track(s): Splash 1 Dukedukedukedukeduke. No wonder my favourite track is one without the brain-piercing vocal-bass-mishmash. I can acknowledge that the album was probably very influential. However, I am not currently under the influence of any psychedelic drugs and thus its influence on me is rather limited. Also, the stereo mixes are somehow worse than the monos.

Well, I'm sure it was a thing, but it's not a thing now. I'm glad I listened to it and some bits I remembered but...

Nope. Really enjoyed nothing about this.

This is a psychadelic bore

Psychedelic, i'm not big fan of this style. :(

Umm... No. This was weird and not good weird. I understand why these guys never made it. I mean, electric jug? What???

I couldn't get past that weird bubbly beeping? What the hell was that?
