Some classics, some okay stuff
The first album after Skip spence left on drums and Grace Slick rather vitally joined the band, this represents one of the landmarks of the psychedelic rock era and 1967 as an epoch of musical time. White rabbit and Somebody to love were big Billboard hits and the idea that this band morphed into the purveyors of 'we built this city' and 'nothing's gonna stop us now' is quite remarkable. The rest of the album has quite a Mamas and Papas sound to it, surprisingly.
Mostly mediocre, but some highlights on it.
Beautiful late 60s sound, makes me feel very airy in a way, carefree and light. It’s giving woodstock 69 in the best way. Lots of hits, some of which i knew already like Somebody to Love obviously. My favorites from the album are: Somebody to Love, Today, 3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds, Plastic Fantastic Lover, In The morning (love the western sound on this one a lot). Great album overall, gets better towards the end in my opinion, very accessible even for people who don’t listen to this genre usually like myself.
Good! Somewhat forgettable/mostly vibey. But I was working when I listened so can't say I was listening very hard
Well it's what I expect from a psych rock album.
Some good classics in here
Great classic album
Nice mix between softer and more psychedelic passages. The lead singer's voice is pushing the songs to become memorable.
Really loved the overall vibe of the album. Some if the folky stuff dragged a bit too long though.
some extremely classic songs on this, but a majority of the album is average at best… considering the quantity of great songs vs good/average, probably 3.5 rounded down
Here's another record from back in the day that I used to love but later put aside when I got into other stuff, and haven't heard in ages. So much of this is so good. “Somebody to Love" was a hit for a reason; these angry-sounding tracks are what I like best about the Airplane. The intro line "When the truth is found to be lies / and all the joy within you dies" has kind of a contemporary feel, doesn't it. The guitar instrumental "Embryonic Journey" is of course something I've heard here and there since then, which is a good thing. And who can resist "White Rabbit." Sure we've all heard it 40 million times, but hey, it's got both threatening-sounding Grace Slick vocals AND interesting acid flamenco instrumentation. Don't forget to feed your head, kids. Finally, "Plastic Fantastic Lover" is a great song - I either forgot or only just noticed the interesting stuff going on with the bass on this. “My Best Friend" was a skip track for me back when I listened to this all the time in the 70s. I'm still not a big fan of that song; it's the part of this record that sounds the most like normal mid-60s music, which isn't very interesting to me. But while I used to skip "Today," too, I'm noticing some things with it that I didn't appreciate at the time. 4 stars
It's funny to say this as I am usually a proponent of keeping things in their original state, but I think this album could use a stereo remix - might give a doorway in for current and future generations. I really, really love the Airplane. Everything up to and including Volunteers I think is brilliant. I always find the gentleness of SP startling. You hear a lot of psychedelic fury from the 60s but not a lot of psychedelic quiet. Anyway I may listen to this again today bc it's so groovy ✌️☮️. Jorma and Jack rock always too.
This was really enjoyable but started to lose my interest toward the end.
It has some of the all-time great standards on it... but maybe a little distrscting filler too?
Fantastic. Grace is amazing
Embryonic Journey and Somebody to Love are the highlights for me on this one.
One surprise with this list has been how most psychedelic stuff hasn't really grabbed me. But I loved this. The mixture of soft folk and harder blues works really well, and the vision and creativity on tracks like White Rabbit are brilliant.
Cookie cutter 60s music except for when Grace starts to sing. White Rabbit is an awesome song and Somebody to love is just as good.
I think this would still be a fantastic and interesting album without the female vocalist’s /stunning/ additions. As is, it’s absolutely addicting and shocking.
There were some songs that I already knew from this record, but I really enjoyed it, and I didn't expect to. This is a combo of everything cool from the 60s psychedelic stuff. Really fun album.
I quite liked "Embryonic Journey", mainly as a relief from Slick's (and others) vocals which I can't stand. Shame it's immediately followed by "White Rabbit" which showcases that vocal at maximum Slick-ness
woooow those hairstyles are something else. I surprisingly really like the singers, they sound ahead of their time. I thought they'd be a country band, but I was pleasantly surprised that I was wrong. The instruments sound really good together, and that female singer pulls it all together. Also, classical instruments in the cover? HELL YEAH!! It's the kind of older music that still slaps, it's aged well. Their sound is unique,and I love that :) some of the slow songs get a little repetitive, but some of those songs are bangers.
Only familiar with the band from their hits, and I like the older ones much better than the 80s bastardization of Starship. This record has Somebody to Love and White Rabbit, both gems. Lots of it sounds silly schlocky to my ears in 2026.
Es como estar escuchando a los beatles americanos. No solamente hay similitudes en la música sino en la estética que se ve en la portada del álbum, y en sus looks. Sabemos perfectamente el impacto que generaron los beatles en la música para los años 60, así que no sorprende en absoluto. Somebody to Love es una canción que ya he escuchado, sin poder identificar muy bien por qué ni dónde (probablemente haya sido la influencia de mi papá). White Rabbit es el tema más escuchado, pero para mi es mejor Somebody to Love. Entiendo que esto puede pegar desde un lado más rock, y quizás el público espera eso de esta banda. Me sorprendieron mucho los vibratos. Es un álbum que cumple con la idea que deberían tener en la cabeza para esa época.
I liked this but it was kind of repetitive. Her voice is great. 4
Whatever magic was happening in San Francisco at the time with this band didn’t exactly translate to record, but somewhere in the echo of an echo is a groundbreaking achievement and one of the key links in the transition from flower power folk to psychedelic rock.
Not usually a big fan of whenever I have to listen to a psychedelic album. Just not my jam.
Dreamy, but forgettable 3.4
I recognized a few songs, feels like a hot spring, falling in love and getting in trouble. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 Highlights: “White Rabbit,” “Plastic Fantastic Lover” “My Best Friend”
kinda sounded all the same to me, it’s really characteristic from the 60’s/70’s therefore it gives the same vibes as the beatles. Wouldn’t listen to it in my everyday routine.
I've never heard the whole album before, just the singles on the radio (and they were certainly not new then). I own a couple of Jefferson Starship/Starship albums, and Grace Slick's voice is always a highlight. However, this album is just okay for me.
Impressive album. Long track and interesting throughout. Female vocal is so distinct and hauntingly beautiful. Great musicians and more than just a hippie band clearly
Interesting music, I liked, more or less, every song. There are a couple of them that were really good. 3,5/5
This was better than most psychedelic pop
H Grace Slick κανει elevate καθε τραγούδι που είναι μεσα. Πέρα απο τα τραγούδια που ήξερα ήδη, μ'αρεσε το Comin' Back to Me, Embryonic Journey, In The Morning. Graces carries σε αυτό το album καθώς τα τραγούδια που είναι με αυτήν για vocalist ειναι τα καλύτερα. Θυμίζει αρκετά Beatles με τα πολλαπλά vocals. (3/5)
não tenho muito oq falar desse infelizmente nao chamou atenção
I really liked the moody songs on this album. Favorite songs: Today, Comin' Back to Me, Embryonic Journey, J.P.P.Mc Step B. Blues
Some total bangers. Very enjoyable listen.
Fantastic album, so many great tracks. I love White Rabbit in particular and the epic crescendo it builds to. Can really see how they must have influenced bands like Fleetwood Mac.
LOVEDDDD will defo listen to more of their discography
This is a classic psychedelic trip that still feels fresh because it’s got a real blues soul under all those trippy effects. The way the voices layer on top of each other and that deep, melodic bass line from Jack Casady really make the sound feel thick and alive. Even if it gets a bit "folk-ish" here and there, the overall vibe is super immersive and powerful. It’s a solid listen that hits the spot without being too much.
Plus one star for White Rabbit. I could listen to that song on repeat and never get tired of it.
It's got 2 fantastic singles on and the rest of the songs are also pretty good. Hehe
Fräck psykodelisk rock och några låtar får toppbetyg.
My rating 2.8
Where Psychedelic Rock really hit the mainstream. Both White Rabbit and Somebody To Love has become staples for Classic Rock stations, and for good reason. White Rabbit especially is one of the best build up in any song to date. The rest of the album is pretty good as well. Not every song is a hit, but they all fulfill the Psychedelic spookyness really well and set a tone. There are better Psychedelic albums from this year and even better Jefferson Airplane albums though.
Liked it a lot, but wasn't high enough to love it.
Goed album
bim erstemal lose bini gar ned überzúgt gsi vode 70er-jahr-frisure-roll-models aber am gmüetliche sunntig namittag im park mit dene flügepeter im ohr pásslets ebe schono. meh wie en airbus 3-puntos chani aber ned geh. I am sorry löve
Highlights: White Rabbit, Embryonic Journey, 3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds In a nutshell: "go ask Alice..." Was not expecting folk on this album but here we are. It's indeed an album, an artist, you would easily identify with the 60's. Good work, Jefferson Airplane. Overall: 5/10
This is a genre I don't really listen to all that often, but I enjoyed this album quite a lot. I seem to recognise the track 'Embryonic Journey' from the F.R.I.E.N.D.S finale, but I could be wrong. Either way, it is a really lovely instrumental track to separate the first half from the second half of the album, with 'White Rabbit', a more upbeat song, following straight after. My only slight issue is that after 'White Rabbit', the songs weren't quite as strong as the first half of the album. I enjoyed the order of this album though; there weren't too many of the same feel in a row, but there was never a point where the change was so drastic or unexpected. All in all, this is an album I would probably listen to again. Favourites (In Order): Embryonic Journey Somebody To Love She Has Funny Cars
Alt, Durchschnitt.
Increíble la canción In the Morning🤎
first song in and the guitar and bass are very cool great voice and the girl damnnnnn she's fire. "she has funny cars"
7/10
interesting, i can get behind it 7.2/10
Today, Comin Back To Me, Embryonic Journey, and In The Morning are some of my new favorites. White Rabbit and Somebody To Love are still iconic though.
Fear and loathing
Seminal release. I’ve known the song White Rabbit for as long as I have been alive. There are tons of other gems in this too, like Somebody To Love and Today. For being a psychedelic album, it is firmly rooted in a folk and rock tradition. Grace Slick has a voice that could move mountains. Overall, great listen and it’s a San Francisco album through and through.
I'm coming into this one with a bias in favor, as "White Rabbit" has been my bulletproof karaoke track for years. That said, I'm finding the rest of the album to be hit-and-miss for me.
I really tried with this one. I gave it two-and-a-half listened, but if it weren't for "Somebody to Love" and "Come Back Baby", I'd be rating this album 1 or 2 stars. The 60s style, psychedelic, "we're high, so let's drift and expand our minds" vibe is just not my thing. The songs on this album that lean more towards rock and blues are the ones I really enjoyed. When I think of Jefferson Airplane, they are the songs I think of, not the airy, whispy, stare-at-the-ceiling, songs. I've always thought Grace Slick had an interesting voice and it sounds great on the album, but I think this is just a matter of not loving the genre.
Ok
A lot more going on here than I originally thought. But let's get some things out of the way: Jefferson Airplane broke up in 1972 and half of the members then formed Jefferson Starship. Jefferson Airplane were pioneers of the "San Francisco Sound"......which just means they were hipsters (hippies back in the day). It seems that's literally all the San Fran Sound meant. Hipsters in the SF area. They were the main part of the Summer of Love, which was just a hippie gathering in SF where they would have free concert and hippie activities like pottery and beads and all those weird hippie things. The Grateful Dead is another notable band from this area with weird fans. So album basically IS the hippie movement that is associated with "Flower Power", Anti-Vietnam War sentiment, anti-government, peace and love, every stereotype about hippies is here, the good and bad. This album isn't really overtly any of those things, but the sound is tranquil and mesmerizing. Great music for dropping acid and chilling with some friends in a field while tripping balls. This album has Somebody to Love and White Rabbit as the big ones. If you have no idea what White Rabbit is, you will know it when you hear the song. These really just sound like The Doors songs, which is cool. Today reminds me of Buffalo Springfield. I have to say that Grace Slick is incredible. Somebody to Love and White Rabbit really are just amazing songs and it can't be understated. I wish White Rabbit was 10 minutes long it's such a cool song. The Alice in Wonderland theme fits perfect with the song and Grace's voice is just incredible. Her vibrato and power is just mesmerizing. Even the songs I don't like, I end up being ok with because the psychedelic nature is done so well. I mean this album really caught me by surprise with the psychedelic nature. I'm not a fan of the CSNY style singing harmony, but mixed with the psychedelic nature and toned way back, it's great.
I hadn’t heard much of Jefferson Airplane before but surprised to find was quite familiar with two most well known tracks: somebody to Love and white rabbit (go ask Alice). Style- wise I could hear a range of influences coming through over and above that psychadelia label from Beatles and Doors through Mommas and a Pappas in (with less rich harmony) and even some straightforward blues. I did love Grace’ almost ethereal wail on somebody to love. But I’m afraid other tracks meandered a bit and struggled to keep my attention. I can appreciate the song craft but arrangements felt very much of their time and imho their music hasnt held up as well as some contemporaries.
It’s a good album, I loved Comin’ Back To Me. Other than that, not any bad songs, just all the songs kinda sounded the same to me. Overall, I think I would give this one a 3.8/5!
A few hits and lots of filler. I enjoy the vibe of the album, unfortunately by the end it is just a lot of the same old sound.
Hard to believe these guys would go on to Build This City
Grace Slick has such an awesome unique voice. It makes the hits, hits. The rest is so boring and plain. It's a shame they hadnt let her lead more.
7/5+ actually is good
Decent, but aside from a couple hit singles, it seemed a little weak. Would maybe buy if I saw it at the record shop, but wouldn't seek it out. Enjoyable listen though.
You would be sorely tempted to listen to any of Grace Slick's solo albums, but, while she is the greatest contributor here, in every aspect, this strange configuration of piece is absolutely her best moment. The others should consider themselves very lucky to be anywhere near her. 2.5 I love Grace Slick’s voice. It is frustrating that she only takes the lead on two songs on this album. The rest isn’t bad by any means, although there is nothing else with the same edge as those two. Today and Coming’ Back to Me are lovely but feel like a different band. I don’t know how well this holds together as an album - My Best Friend is certainly on the wrong side of the record. Swap that hippy fluff around with Embryonic Journey and White Rabbit on side B and you have something that at least looks like an attempt at an album as two distinct halves. As it is - Surrealistic Pillow is a pile of nice songs, a stupid title, and a rotten cover. 2.5/5
Solid psychedelic rock album. I liked how it wasn’t too trippy, like a lot of entries in the genre can be Top songs: Somebody To Love, How Do You Feel, Go To Her
435/1089 - You know the psychedelic folk is gonna be good when it sounds like it was recorded in a canyon.
It’s very strong and powerful a song that’s popular in movies. Giving wensday the show but very 60s
no conocia esta banda me encanto
A classic album from the Summer of Love, with a bunch of familiar tunes, that inevitably sounds of its time, from a band that formed six decades ago.
Meh--the big songs are good but not my jam
A mix of classics and standard late 60s rock songs. The band really comes alive when Grace Slick sings, otherwise it is not very memorable.
full of classics in 33 minutes, but some of the tracks managed to drag on.
I'll round up for Somebody to Love but overall this was Yet Another Proggy Album from the Makers of the 1001 Album List and I'm getting SO tired of them.
2 familiar songs - liked the bluezy sounds, otherwise snooze 😴
Fun, timeless, of its time
Nice rock. Good singing, good instruments. 4/5
Iconic songs and good quality. 4 of 5
me gustó un poco, no lo escuché completo en realidad, pero suena a banda genérica de los 60s
me gustó. algo distinto. Aires a los beatles
Contains three of the greatest songs of the psychedelic era (“Somebody to Love”, “Today”, and “White Rabbit”) and eight more that are merely okay. Works better as a symbol of The Sixties than as a coherent statement. Best track: “Somebody to Love”
My best friend!
🐇
Grace Slick sounds like the name of a Bond girl. The folk instrumentals were quite nice.
Groovy
mind if i do a j?
Favorite Track: White Rabbit
Bon album. Somebody to love est la chanson connue de l'album. 3/5 !
Pseudo psychedelia from 1966 although released in 1967 including the iconic “white rabbit”
Expected to hate this, but liked its idiosyncratic 60s folk pop rock.
classic
Couple of bangers but it got old in between tbh
This wasn’t the brand of flower child hippy music I was raised on, and it turns out not to be my favorite. There’s nothing particularly offensive or bad about the music and it has moments of enjoyment. But I just don’t connect to the energy or message of the songs and the “psychedelic” elements are sorta laughable, “Surrealistic Pillow”?! “Embryonic Journey”?!
Better than I was expecting. Has its moments (Somebody to Love, White Rabbit), and probably a good album for 1967.
A strange mix, some great psychedelic songs and then some pretty forgettable kind of soft-folk stuff.
Cool to find these songs. Sound like inspirations for Allah Las. One standout song in the album, the rest were kind of okay though. My guess is this is a foundational album for a lot of rock, and I guess I simply do not have the depth of knowledge of this genre's history to fully appreciate this album.
White Rabbit, Embyronic Journey, and Somebody to Love are obviously classics. Especially White Rabbit - what a gripping track. But outside of those, the album falls kind of flat for me. Wish we had more of the eeriness that White Rabbit brought, and more of the folk guitar texture of embryonic Journey.
This album is a mix of psychedelic and folk rock. Vocals are fine (sometimes bad). I preferred the singing in the first half. Instrumentals are good and even great at times. My favorite track was "Today". I really liked the instrumentals on "Plastic Fantastic Lover", but the vocals are bad on that track.
Not very innovative but very good.
Trippy vibes.
Loved it! Very funky, perfect length, good variation
A couple of standout tracks in Somebody to Love and White Rabbit, and She Has Funny Cars was a solid opener. I just wasn't that impressed by the rest. Should have let Grace Slick sing lead on most of this. What a voice. 3 Stars.
Somebody to Love is an absolute all-time banger, and is the only reason I feel somewhat favourably to this record. The rest is unfortunately pretty mediocre boomercore with only the odd moments of hilarity (Comin' Back to Me) to break up some long periods of tedium. Disappointing, but far from the worst example of this kind of music.
Every song the girl sings - 🤠 Every song the guy sings - 🥱
Some great songs and some other songs. Culturally significant but the album as a whole is just barely over the mediocre hump.
It’s kind of amazing that some members of this band are responsible for “We Built This City.”
If the back half sags a little, it doesn't hurt it so much that this it's not one of the best albums ever recorded.
this is sorta the corner of classic rock that i don't mind but have trouble really getting that much out of. White Rabbit is so leaps and bounds above. the rest... inoffensive, which i mean both complimentary and derogatory. if i feel strongly later on that i've underrated this i'll go back and boost it
very good album with a couple iconic hits that make it stand out,
3.5
Ratings: 5: I will happily play this album anytime 4: I may occasionally play this album of my own free will 3: I will happily listen to this if someone plays it in the background 2: I will tolerate this if it is playing in the background 1: I will leave the room if someone plays this in the background Strong tentpole songs in Somebody to Love and White Rabbit (a contender for best build-up and release during the psychedelic era). Enjoy most of the other upbeat songs. The slow songs are a bit of a drag.

When I was eight years old I first heard this album when my best friend borrowed the album from his brother and played it for me in his bedroom. Coming from a family that regularly listen to the King family, it was quite a shock and also my introduction to psychedelic rock. Being that young I didn't understand any of the references regarding drugs in the song White Rabbit, but it immediately became a favorite.
Pretty good for psychedelic stuff. Libra couple of these from way back.
4 out of 5. This album is a classic and some other good songs here besides the hits.
8/10 bien sesentoso Canción destacada: Somebody to love
3/14 Never listened to Jefferson Airplane before but didnt realize the song "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit" was from them.
Favorite track(s): She Has Funny Cars, Somebody to Love, 3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds, How Do You Feel, White Rabbit Heard before Previous rating: 8/10
I enjoyed some songs however not all
somebody to love ❗️❗️❗️ today and comin back to me are such sweet songs. i love them solid album tbh i haven't heard something like this in a while
Hello, old friend...
A good album with solid hits somebody to Love White Rabbit, My Best and Today. I think the rest of the album is good and you can get into it but the highlight is definitely Grace Slick’s singing. It drives this album forward. This is what’s most memorable.
Fokin disco pasado de verdura, el nombre es perfecto y todas las canciones tienen la vibra exacta de sus nombres 🙂↕️ god bless a los few estadounidenses que si hacen cosas chidas
Tenho um forte carinho por este disco. A banda Jefferson Airplane serviu de fonte bibliográfica no TCC da minha graduação, onde eu fiz uma análise do movimento contracultural estadunidense da década de 60, tomando como ponto de partida o trabalho da banda e como ele refletia as vertentes culturais, estéticas e ideológicas do período. Por conta disso, eu ouvi esse álbum inúmeras vezes enquanto escrevia o meu artigo. E para melhorar, eu estava em um auto-exílio em um pacato vilarejo do interior paulista, longe de todos meus conhecidos, e onde o silêncio era apenas ocasionalmente interrompido por pássaros e locomotivas. Consequentemente, é difícil não ser transportado de volta àquele lugar e àquele tempo toda vez que toco este disco. Com este prefácio, você leitor já vê que esta não será uma review livre de viés. Uma coisa que sempre me agradou neste álbum, mesmo antes desse nosso laço acadêmico e temporal, é sua produção. Ela é crua, fria e íntima. Me traz as mesmas sensações dos primeiros álbuns do Black Sabbath. Esse estilo faz eu me sentir dentro do estúdio, sentado em um lindo tapete ornamental, lá fora está frio mas aqui dentro há calor e conforto. O liricismo deste álbum é simples porém lindo. Temos o destaque clássico de White Rabbit, uma canção geracional (que inclusive eu usei como título do meu trabalho), com suas letras fantasiosas alá Lewis Carroll, mas além dela temos outras canções repletas de beleza e ternura, como Today e Comin’ Back To Me. Nas faixas mais agitadas, os vocais excelentes de Grace e Marty dominam completamente o ouvinte. A instrumentalização é emblemática do período em que o disco foi feito. Este não é um disco experimental, e nem precisa ser. De fato, as composições são em larga medida simples. O disco te conquista não por sua complexidade, mas pelos detalhes mínimos, e pela emoção palpável por trás de cada acorde e cada batida. É perceptível que a banda amava tocar, e que o estúdio estava repleto de emoção nestes dias. E como é de se esperar, não posso deixar de mencionar o quão rico este disco é em contexto histórico e cultural. Não vou me aprofundar muito nesse tópico, pois se eu começar a digitar a respeito do período contracultural americano esta review ficará gigantesca, com muitas páginas, tal qual meu TCC… E não é pra isso que estamos aqui, não é? O assunto é música e o que este disco apresenta é exemplar e atemporal. Ótimo. 5/5
One of my favorites: bluesy, trippy, great
Trop vieux Et boring
Lovely stuff.
The ‘2 songs’ are brilliant and the rest does not quite reach those heights but pleasant enough. Those songs drag the rating up though….
Breezy enough for a sunny spring morning
Great album, love “My Best Friend” particularly - on the “Didn’t Make The Long List of My All Time Favourite Albums of All Time” list, so a solid three stars.
I struggled through this
I'm always down for some psych rock, so this was a lot of fun! I've listened to a bit of their stuff before and always enjoyed it, so listening through a full album was a delight!
Great classic rock.
Few classics but some tracks likely need the devils lettuce to enjoy properly
The kind of album I expect from this book. Not spent much time listening to Jefferson Airplane before, but know some of the hits. Steady mid ground for me. Nice to hear. 3 Number tracks Fave track Others 12/03/26
There's a couple of really great songs on here, but also a lot of filler. 3.0/5.0: Good
pretty good but any longer and it would've gotten boring
First album: 3 stars. All songs were good; this may be a genre that I should listen to more. All songs are going in the playlist.
All of these stars belong to Grace Slick
6/10 better than the other rock ones so far!
This album might be the closest I'll ever get to experiencing the Summer of Love. I dig the sound. But it's the singles that really blow me away. Most of that comes from the powerful vocals from Grace Slick. The other vocals on the album feel diluted in comparison. Somebody To Love White Rabbit
This is a great airplane album. Probably won’t listen to another seeing as this is there best but still really enjoy it. Somebody to love and white rabbit where the only songs I knew before and rabbit is still there best song!
Groovy baby, yeah!
Classic album. Great hits like white rabbit and somebody to love. Bit of range including blues, rock and psych. Some songs not as memorable, but I don't have anything bad to say about the album
It’s ok - the two big songs over-shadow everything else, but it’s not bad. I doubt I’ll listen to anything over than those two again, though.
Ugh fine I guess
If it was the 60s and I only had access to like five bands I would probably be into this
Some good guitar tunes on this album
Album No. 0175 on my list. Before listening to this, my knowledge about Jefferson Airplane had been restricted to general awareness of their existence and a rough idea of the period during which they were active. I’m glad this changed however, because I did enjoy the album! “Surrealistic Pillow” is probably the best hippie/flower power album I’ve encountered so far. For an album recorded in 1967, the sound is pretty neat, and I found many of the songs quite good. Very hippie-esque lyrics indeed; cool, psychedelic bit still catchy vibes, decent instrumentation. Good stuff overall. Peak hippie to me, but in the best way possible. Good mixture of male-, and -female-voiced songs as well. I will add “She Has Funny Cars”, “Somebody To Love” (I’ve realized that I had known this song before, but had no Idea who the artist was), “Embryonic Journey”, and “White Rabbit” to my playlist. Will certainly listen to this again! 4/5 stars!
I don't think this would have stood out much for me except Grace Slick's vocals. White Rabbit is amazing. The rest of the album feels hit or miss.
Folk rockish? Not my usual flow but not the worst either. I liked today and Somebody to love.
White Rabbit
Touch of psychedelic
This album was painful. Did not enjoy at all.
Listened to about half of the music and enjoyed it.
I liked this, actually I thought that I'd like it more than I did. Somebody to Love was by far my favorite song on the album. Comin' Back to Me and Go To Her were other ones that I liked, but the rest of the album was just fine. I didn't hate any of them, I just didn't really love any of them either.
Of its time . Missed it when it first came out - can't say I'm that sorry .
Two stand out hits, the rest all sounds a bit samey and dated.
If not for the strength of Somebody to Love and White Rabbit, this would have been a 2. Not a fan. But Somebody is such a solid song in my ears.
*Spooky at times, but great late 60s record
Having heard this album described as an exemplar of 60s psychedelia, I was expecting some more... psychedelic. White Rabbit and a couple more tracks definitely are trippy, but the rest is different shades of blues and twangy, mellow 60s rock, like the Yardbirds or Tommy James and the Shondells. It's pretty good stuff, honestly, a relaxing and ear-catching album with a couple of crazy songs that jump out and grab you.
Jorma can really play. Some timeless classics on here and a lot of dated stuff that can stay unplayed.
I didn't know White Rabbit, but it stood out massively while listening to this in the background. Superb. And I already knew Somebody To Love, which is also great and I didn't know who the original artist was. Definitely enjoyed this one.
Ironically, this album is far from surrealistic. It's about exactly how you would expect a 1960s Rock band to sound like. A generic album that has the words "love", and "baby" over, and over. Favorite Track: "Somebody To Love".
A mixture of the forgettable and really quite good. It’s a shame more of the tracks don’t have the female vocals (apparently those songs also written by her) as they have a bit more bite and vigour. As a “moment in time” album and the psychedelic sounds it just about tips a 4, just.
Is this Paul Simons "Evil Twin" / less straight brother on drugs? It's like looking out the window of a train with rolling fields of guitar stretching out into the distance ("Embryonic Journey"). Then in the carriage there is some batty women singing a gentle warble which is odd but compelling. Then finally just to confuse it further you are in 2026 and can hear something resembling a typical 60's pop track only to be flung in the opposite direction with a deeply blues brake on full ("In the Morning"). To have these styles behave in conjunction with each other is a treat. Bar the odd song that sounds dated like "Go to Her" and some elements of others which I am personally not a massive fan its still relevant today and I must revisit this as cracking.
I really enjoyed this album and that's not just because two of the tracks featured on the soundtrack of EA's Battlefield Vietnam. Its a long, weird, trippy blend of folk and rock with some epic vocals and cool blues motifs. I really enjoyed the female folk vocals in particular, which give this other worldly vibe to the album. "White Rabbit" was a real highlight but the album is generally quite varied as it winds along it's long leisurely journey. Feels like one for a few close friends in a smoky living room. There are plenty of bands from this period that have similar elements but none of them seem to munge them together to make anything quite like this.
Very nice. Some absolutely incredible tracks and some mediocre ones.
It’s the dawn of psychedelic rock, sure, and Grace’s entry to the band makes for a couple of classics, but as an album it has its holes
Klinkt als iets wat je op motortreffen zou horen, op een goeie manier!
It’s a great album, go ask Alice
Pretty nice album
last song in the morning but all in all quite like the album
This album was really nice! I liked the song today very much!!!
didn’t realize how many songs i knew on this album. looks like it’ll be a bad listen, but it wasn’t so bad. will i listen again? not necessarily. some songs are just tired
Perfect beach background music, great hits on the album too.
oh i don't think i knew this was them. i like the dreamy stuff
Mixed bag. Couple of proper bangers though.
Good memories of a sunny afternoon close to Cambridge.
Laurel Canyon classic
Essential Album. Mostly brilliant. Needs more Grace.
Never listened to these guys before; I don't know why I always assumed that they were more 70's southern classic rock. Pretty solid listen; I dug how varied it was. Also I never knew that these guys were responsible for 'Somebody to Love' and 'White Rabbit'.
If this was all Grace Slick, it would be a nailed-on five star album. She's a fantastic singer. Unfortunately, a lot of this record is bog-standard hippie shit. Still...White Rabbit! What a song! 😍
Це, мабуть, найкращий або хоча б один з найкращих альбомів, серед тих, що мені вже пропонував цей сайт. Супер
....
8 / 10 - Sehr abwechslungsreich (Rock&Roll, Folk, Psychadelia, Blues, Instrumental, ...) - Einige interessante Songs mit dabei - Das Album Reissue auf Spotify (57min) zieht sich am Ende, aber das 33min original Release ist genau richtig und aus einem Guss, trotz der Abwechslung - Sollte von vorne bis hinten aktiv gehört werden Favs: - Somebody To Love - White Rabbit - She Has Funny Cars
At first it's hopping back and forth between rock and folk, then some blues layers in. Unexpected, enjoyable.
A pretty standard late 60s San Francisco psych rock album without much that makes it stand out from the pack. "Somebody to Love" is the highlight thanks to Grace Slick's vocal performance. "3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds" is also enjoyable and the most roaring rocker of the bunch. The psychedelic feel comes primarily from the lyrics - which often, even on "White Rabbit," can be more silly than trippy - and the echoing effect on many tracks. And on some tracks that feel is missing entirely, including the limper ballads and pop songs that make up the back half of side one. It's nice to hear flute on some of the sparser tracks, but it doesn't add enough to make them interesting. Lastly, "How Do You Feel" sounds distractingly like "Ticket to Ride." A decent listen, but this scene produced better albums.
Immersing myself in the sonic tapestry feels like diving into a pool of time capsule gems. Spins: 3 Playlist Additions - Somebody to Love - Today - Embryonic Journey - White Rabbit
Feed your head.
3.5
Odd vocals Started off weak, got better
Didn't know who Jefferson Airplane were by name, but instantly recognised a bunch of tracks here. The album started off really well. "She Has Funny Cars" and the classic "Somebody to Love" were proper jams, but then I found the slower, less heavy tracks to be slightly dull, but not unpleasant - realistically all of it was good. Vocals from Grace Slick were a massive highlight, totally different calibre to the other vocals, shame they weren't on more of the tracks. This was heading for a surprise 5 based on the start of the album, but took a dip to a 3 in the middle, so I'm going to balance out at a 4. Enjoyable throughout, and worthy of a few playlist submissions.
Always enjoyed 'Somebody to Love' when it would pop up in public so I'm glad the rest of the album lives up to that beautiful shining psychedelic goodness. Only wish some of the really good tracks such as White Rabbit and D.C.B.A-25 were a little more developed Highlights: Somebody to Love How Do You Feel White Rabbit D. C. B. A.-25 She Has Funny Cars
Standouts: - She has Funny Cars - Today - The reverby drums on this added so much atmosphere - Comin Back To Me - The acoustic track was a surprise but enjoyable and fits right in - 3/5 of a Mile In 10 Seconds - White Rabbit - I can't believe this is on this album?? (I apparently started listening to bonus tracks here) - In the Morning - The psychedelic blues jam goes so hard here ooh psychedelic this is the sorta stuff I was looking forward to discover from this journey; psychedelic goodness with some fuck ass genres thrown in. Psychedelic/Blues/Folk is not a combination I expected but it sounds amazing. THIS ALBUM WAS IN 1967??? This outperforms many modern psychedelic albums... Ridiculous album, the blend of psychedelic and blues sounding this good this early on is mind boggling. Enjoyed almost every song on it. Unexpected 5 wtf
I liked the soundscape throughout the entire album. It's rare for a 60s album to have such an appealing soundscape.
interesting...
Cool album
I'm really conflicted here because everyone needs to hear White Rabbit and Somebody to Love. Those are the only tracks I knew before listening to this just now. I was really surprised to hear so many tracks that don't feature Grace Slick at all. I don't know enough about the history to know why but what a fumble because her vocals sound huge on here. All of the other tracks don't hold up to that level at all and are almost just another band's sound entirely. So to "must hear before you die" tracks and then a bunch of flower-child shovelware.
A very appropriate album title. This is unusually mellow but still has a lot of rough edges. Maybe a bit unfocused but enjoyable nonetheless.
It's groovy. Can vibe with it. Hasn't been my genre in a while but very nice.
Un buen álbum para escuchar una mañana lluviosa o tirado tomando sol.
so this album is gonna have a lot of banjo, violin, clarinet, and recorder, right? right? she has funny cars--love the little background twangy guitar plastic fantastic lover--you know that 70s italian disco/rock song that's supposed to sound like english (and does!) but is actually gibberish? yeah just randomly thought of that for no particular reason prisencolinensinainciusol--oh wait wrong album comin' back to me--ooh i dig it. this tempo & style is much more my speed. the slow acoustic guitar; the softer vocals, a little flute / recorder action. somebody to love--oh i know this song WAIT SPOTIFY WHY DID YOU PUT THAT ON SHUFFLE??????? how do you feel--who does this sound like??? the beatles? yes but i feel like there's someone closer white rabbit--love this absurd little ditty ok after the spotify shuffle fiasco i have now listened +/-1.5 times. nice light rock. leans acoustic and esoteric. enjoyable overall. not every song stood out, but the rest were pleasant enough in the background. coming back to me, somebody to love, white rabbit are probably top songs. i'd say high 3/5 rounded to 4/5
This was great, grace clock voice was amazing.
Really, really good. Aside from the obvious hits, I was surprised I have never listened to this album, and very pleased while listening to it.
Surrealistic Pillow is an alright album overall, the songs are good but a little bit repetitive, not really my style of music overall but still fairly enjoyable. 3/5.
Still amazing
I hadn’t heard of Jefferson Airplane before this suggestion. The album was okay. There wasn’t anything mesmerizing or remarkable.
I was ready to pan this one after being pretty unimpressed by other psychedelic rock albums on this list but it actually grew on me as it went on. I thought the bluesier songs were pretty good and the woman singer was pretty compelling. I’d heard “white rabbits” exclusively through movies and tv shows but it was actually an interesting song all on its own.
4.3 Really is a classic, not a bad song on the album
me gusta.
Nice. Not my type of music. I enjoyed the blues of one of these songs
Disco muito bom, diferente do que costumo ouvir, ainda assim me prendeu e irei ouvir outras vezes.
buen album, me sorprendió
Enjoying this far more than anticipated. Somebody to love is on more than one of my playlists, but I'm almost tired of it even though its good. But 4 tracks in they're all great. Possibly a bit same-y, if this goes on for the whole album I will get bored.
Surrealistic Pillow (1967) is Jefferson Airplane’s second studio album, and the first featuring Grace Slick as lead vocalist. It was apparently recorded a mere two weeks after she joined the band. The album combines elements of folk-rock and psychedelic rock both of which are genres I really enjoy. I’m very familiar with the singles (‘Somebody to Love’ and ‘White Rabbit’) but hadn’t listened to the rest of the album all the way through. Those two tracks definitely stand out due to Slicks powerful vocals, but the album as a whole is excellent. It’s softer and leans into folk more than I expected, but that’s not a bad thing at all. I love the Southern Californian folk-rock sound (Crosby, Stills & Nash is one of my all-time favourite albums), and the psychedelic elements of Surrealistic Pillow are obviously evolving from the same folk-rock sensibilities, albeit Jefferson Airplane was a San Francisco band developing their own scene. In contrast to the rock tracks ‘Embryonic Journey’ is a beautifully delicate folk guitar instrumental. The stillness before the storm of ‘White Rabbit’. This track made me think of Nick Drake (who I also love), but again as Five Leaves Left wasn’t released until 1969, it’s echoes of Jefferson Airplane in Nick’s work, rather than the other way around. Another album to add to my ever growing vinyl wish-list. Note - the version I rated was the original 1967 US release. The 1967 UK release had a different track listing, and the 2003 reissue contains six additional bonus tracks. Side A: She Has Funny Cars - 3/5; Somebody To Love - 5/5; My Best Friend - 3/5; Today - 4/5 Comin' Back to Me - 4/5 Side B: 3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds - 4/5; D.C.B.A.–25 - 3/5; How Do You Feel - 3/5; Embryonic Journey - 4/5 White Rabbit - 5/5 Plastic Fantastic Lover - 3/5
#46/1001 🇺🇸 More 60s Psych. This is definitely one of the better albums from this age and has more of folk and blues feel. 2 songs in and i thought this was going to be a 5 but it fell away a little bit. The Grace Slick vocal / composition tracks are undoubtedly the stand outs. White Rabbit and Somebody to Love are just majestic. Having said that i really liked Comin' Back To Me too. Best tracks: Somebody to Love, Comin' Back to Me, White Rabbit, She Has FUnny Cars. Ps Silliest album title so far.
Muy roquero, con un toque blues, me parece que es un buen disco, definitivamente me guardo allgunas cosas.
kinda an overrated album imo. i liked a some of the folky songs but it felt all over the place genre-wise and lacks cohesion.
She Has Funny Cars - 3/5 Somebody to Love - 4.5/5 My Best Friend - 2.5/5 Today - 3/5 Comin' Back to Me - 3/5 3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds - 3.5/5 D.C.B.A.-25 - 3/5 How Do You Feel - 3/5 Embryonic Journey - 3.5/5 White Rabbit - 4.5/5 Plastic Fantastic Lover - 3/5 It's a fairly middling album where the highs were way high above the rest. I understand its placement in the list as one of landmark psychedelic rock albums but it's just kind of meh to me outside of Somebody to Love and White Rabbit. Overall: 3/5 Favorites: Somebody to Love, White Rabbit
I'll be honest, I find this to be a bit boring. It's decent but boring. I do like Somebody to Love though.
Grace Slick it's Jefferson Airplane's soul & fire. If she had assumed the lead vocals in all of the songs, this album would be a lot more better. But still... a classical. 5 stars.
Decent
Good album but personally not my cup of tea should’ve a 4 but I’m giving it a 3
This was interesting. Somebody to love and white rabbit are the standout songs here. They sound so different from the rest of the album. I’m pretty disappointed in it because I thought there would be more of that sound.
At times it sounded so 60s then ahead of its time. Need this record.
Maybe if I hadn’t listened to so much bad psychedelic music already by doing this project then this would have been okay but I have hippies-on-acid-being-lame PTSD and consequently cannot give this a fair shake. However, credit where credits due, these songs are surprisingly short, which was a definite improvement over most of the other psychedelic music I’ve suffered through to-date.
I loved it? I've really been wasting my life only listening to 2 Jefferson Airplane sounds. Every song is a banger.
Loved much of this, especially the tracks when Grace was in full flow. (I also love her earlier recording of Don't You Want Somebody to love, with The Great Society.) Her influence on Siouxsie, Florence etc struck me, and is something to be grateful for. However, there are some less impactful, more meandering tracks. Sometimes it's so difficult to choose between 3 and 4, but I think it's got to be a round-up.
Here we go, third or fourth or fifth time listening to this I really don't know it's really that forgettable. My Best Friend and DCBA 25 were pretty fun songs but I can't imagine coming back to this one voluntarily again, because I really tried back when I was into acid. Got to the end of White Rabbit and I thought, "that's it?"
The 60s was such a beautiful time for music, everything is so groovy yet at the same time slow and calm. (My favorite song has to be Comin’ Back to Me)
One thing that stands out to me is that Grace Slick was very underutilized by Jefferson Airplane. Both tracks where she is lead vocal are outstanding and something special - the remainder of the album does really stand out to me. Also, the recording/mixing on the album made a lot of the brighter details a bit too harsh on the ears.
Ok
It was Jefferson Airplane...a little weird...a little rock...psychedelic...the works.
Es ist ein faszinierendes Zeitdokument der späten 60er: psychedelisch, mutig und voller ikonischer Momente. Die Mischung aus träumerischen Harmonien und kraftvollen Rockelementen wirkt bis heute frisch. “Somebody to Love” – Der energiegeladene Hit mit Grace Slicks markanter Stimme. “White Rabbit” – Der psychedelische Klassiker, inspiriert von Alice im Wunderland. Top Songs die das Album abrunden.
i liked it
Queen vibes
Extremely pleasant listen. I hadn’t heard of them before but have heard their songs.
Great music.
This was good! An unexpected classic hidden in its songs that I did not know was their song. I'm going to listen to them more in the future (specifically this album) whenever I get more time. I liked a lot of these songs especially "Comin' back to me"
No doubt this is great, but the two best songs (you all know which ones are they), are just too good compared with the album average.
YESSSSSSSS
“Somebody To Love” is one of my favorite late 1960’s song. And “White Rabbit”- so good! Enjoyed the album more on the second listen than the first. Fun 60’s album.
Think Somebody to Love and White Rabbit are the highlights or maybe it’s just that they were more familiar. Familiarity not breeding contempt here. A few others were decent enough eg DCBA - 25 with its jangly guitars. Interesting album with different influences throughout but ultimately not that compelling. Wavered around giving a 4 but went 3 again.
A mix of early 60s sytle harmonious songs and the more interesting psychedelic numbers including the big hitters. An interesting listen, will give a generous 4
Too much of that baroque 60s Grace Slick shtick going on for me to get into. Similar to Nico in that respect but at least the underlying VU music is very good. Much prefer the more naturalistic vocals of their contemporary Sandy Denny.
Folksy rocky psychedelic in parts, never rising above a 3 for me. A solid 3, but left me a bit underwhelmed
+Somebody To Love +My Best Friend +Today +White Rabbit
this was fun! I liked!
Not great listening conditions. Would revisit, but doesnt resonate on first listen
actually surprisingly good
As much as I enjoy psych rock and proto-prog, this is some boring psych rock.
My wife and I saw Starship open for Heart and it’s hard to believe that the same band who gave the world Somebody To Love would later be responsible for We Built This City. Regardless of where they have ended up, there is no denying the influence of songs like the aforementioned Grace Slick led track along with White Rabbit in ushering in the jangle and psychedelic folk blues that would be the soundtrack for the counter culture of the late 60s. These two tracks stand out while the rest of the record is fine. I admittedly found most of this to be rather forgettable and sonically homogenous without Slick’s leading vocals.
Liked this even more than I thought I would. Great psychedelia from front to back and was the perfect thing to get me through a boring plane ride. Favorite Songs: “Somebody to Love”, “Comin’ Back to Me”, “White Rabbit”, “Go to Her” Low 5.
Actually thjs album is absolutely fantastic. For me it's 3.5/5, but overall it's at least 4.5. "Today" is extremely beautiful and important song. "Somebody to love" - absolute hit for centuries. "Embryonic journey" has unbelievable instrumental. "White rabbit" - nice story about Alice in Wonderland and LSD. I think this is true hippy era album
Vilken tid när White Rabbit kunde leta sig högt upp på topplistorna! Meget mys, några mellanspår som alla har nåt men inte när de där extatiska höjderna. Men soundet generellt, så mkt bättre än trista Grateful Dead. Fyra!
Hmmm svårt. Tror det landar på en stark trea! 60-talet är fan en bra period för musik alltså.
4:a om bruden hade sjungit allt
White rabbits baaaaaby. Och så är den redan över? Vem är jag att inte ge denna en fyra? En etta? Nä? En trea so vanligt? Kom igen.
This is a really good album. I loved Grace Slick's vocals. The music is psychedelic, sure but it's also folky and bluesy. The two big hits reign supreme. The surprise for me was "Coming Back To Me."
Nothing special
Yeah, okay, I'm into the psycahadelia
I didn’t know anything besides the 2 very famous songs here, which I’ve always liked, particularly White Rabbit which is a classic. The rest of the album was decent, perhaps more folky than I expected but the bluesy In the Morning caught my ear out of those that were new to me.
Some strong songs on here but alot of in between songs didnt hit with me
This album is dated. I often like music from the past but this one stayed in the 60s. If this is the rock and roll upon which Starship built this city, then its foundation is pretty shaky. They have two decent singles and one fantastic guitar player in Jorma Kaukonen who I would have liked to hear more from. Embryonic Journey is so short and the rest is so tedious.
Good psych rock
Jefferson Airplane is the "Ship of Thesius" of bands. They went through two different name changes, had a completely different sound, and replaced all of their members by the end. Hard to believe this is technically the same that does "We built this city on rock and roll." Decent album, but the light acoustic numbers were not the wake up call I needed this morning. Also, I think with "White Rabbit" & "Somebody to Love"from this album, and "Seven Nation Army" from the White Stripes album, we should have our bases covered for songs used in movie trailers.
I feel it's cheating to rate this one higher than the Lou Reed album, its simply more approachable. That said I did end up listening through it twice. I've heard more of these songs, I think it pops up on classic radio sometimes.
This album is pretty good. I think I grew out of this psychedelic phase in music. There is aspects of it that I enjoy. I like the weird. But I think it’s a pretty limiting genre. I’m very aware that this is a pretty hot take but whatchya gon’ doooo?
Jokes on you I LOVEEE jefferson airplane, they are so cool and the story of her trying to drug the president?? DIVA
Fun little album. Not too much of my thing though 2.8/10
This is my type of music. White Rabbit is utter perfection. Keep on fearing and loathing in Las Vegas.
I enjoyed Surrealistic Pillow quite a bit more than i thought i would have. It has that typical sound of a 60s Psychedelic rock album like The Beatles or The Beach Boys but i think i would compare this most to The Mamas And The Papas due to the addition of a female singer. This easily is some of the more enjoyable psych-rock sounds i have ever heard with it being good ear candy without getting too weird. I thought that the vocals here were good too with each of the singers all giving some really good performances. I also think this went at the perfect pace, enough to give me my fill but not too long. This is easily among the better psych-rock albums on this list. Best Song: Comin' Back To Me Worst Song: White Rabbit
Psychedelia with teeth and feelings. Rating: 4.5/5 Short Review: This album feels like sunshine drifting into a mild existential crisis. It is dreamy, political, romantic, and slightly unhinged in that very 60s way. Soft on the surface, sharp underneath. Favorite Track: White Rabbit, because obviously. Hypnotic and still hits.
Like it 3/5
Хороший альбом, знаю 1 пісню, подобається. Не фанат такої музики,7/10. Розумію, чому він можн подобатися.
very psychedelic and my vibe
Surrealistic pillow was a pretty good album. I already had heard the most popular songs, White Rabbit & Somebody to Love. The rest of album was fine, In the Morning was an unexpected bluesy surprise!
I was interested to find out that the 2 main singles from this album were written by and brought to the band from the lead singer when she joined as they are by the best songs on the album, with the rest having a more folky vibe.
peak
Still relevant, still revolutionary.
So many great songs.
One of the greatest psych albums.
Honestly kind of boring with the exception of somebody to love and white rabbit
She Has Funny Cars has a very similar riff to Last Train to Clarksville. Love the tempo change about 45 seconds in. Somebody to Love is SO good but we KNEW this. My Best Friend is ADORABLE. Very cool discordant and jazzy ending. Today is also real good but we also knew THIS. Comin' Back to Me is BEAUTIFUL. 3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds is pretty good but quite samey. Great name though. D.C.B.A.-25 - I didn't even notice this song happening so can't be too memorable. How Do You Feel - the harmonies and tune remind me of Ticket to Ride. Really good. Embryonic Journey - GREAT name. Great nostalgic guitar at the start; reminded me of Simon and Garfunkel. White Rabbit - love the words, and dark edge to the song, and the rock aspect ramping up. Love the unusual song structure too; not following the verse-chorus-verse etc format. Plastic Fantastic Lover - very good. In The Morning - too plodding. Very hard to win me over to blues. J. P. P. Mc Step B. Blues is very good - reminds me of The Byrds. Go To Her - very good; hot lyrics! Come Back Baby - not bad.
I liked white rabbit… yea that’s it.
I listened to this a lot as a teenager. Grace Slick has an amazing voice and White Rabbit and Someone to Love are all time favourites. The rest I can leave to be honest.
Tiene sus dos grandes hits y suenan muy bien en general
i was already familiar with a couple of these.. white rabbit being one of my fav songs ever. what they create with electric guitars is so magical and sexy. i love love love. my favs are: somebody to love today comin’ back to me how do you feel white rabbit plastic fantastic lover in the morning rating 4/5
Not my usual jive but I can appreciate it for what it is
Got some gems.
Back in the day when pot was less potent, but the penalty was much worse, is when this album is from.
Overrated and too much of an attempt to sound "trippy and weird". White Rabbit still slaps though.
