Reviews (page 9 of 13)
Not a big fan of their sound, though how could you not appreciate Grace Slick’s voice, and of course the two big songs here deserve to be classics.
Its fine, its whatever, its 3/5.
Was fun, and some obvious classic songs. However, I was never fully enticed and it kinda was just a more boring beatles...
3.5 stars
Far too many 60s psychedelic rock albums on this list
Somebody to Love and White Rabbit are two of my most favorite songs of all time. The rest of the album is boring. Or I’m not on enough psychedelics.
No sabia que estos hitazos no eran de una solista. Igual, no es lo mío. Nota: 2.7
Good album, I know and enjoy one song off of it, the rest is somewhat similar but feels like it falls a bit flat for me.
Feels like a 4 but if 4 criteria is entire album listenability it cant be. Really cool album, good songs for the most part but some are stinkers.
Fun record and a surprising amount of calm songs. The singles elevate it's popularity and makes it fun to listen to. Will need to listen to it more times.
Jorma is a beast. The hits still pop. Most of the rest sounds pretty dated and forgettable to me.
Clasico, Somebody to Love es una cabilla
It was fine as background music, but nothing was a particular standout.
kind of forgettable, very average maybe slight above, well other than “somebody to love”
The "hits" are in fact the best thing on the album. Sometimes that's not the case, but the rest seem very dated. You have the one two punch of "Somebody To Love" and "White Rabbit," two songs that defined 60s music. The rest? Meh. A song like "My Best Friend" ... Queen did it better. The only two other songs that were any good was "Embryonic Journey" (I liked the guitar work on it, sue me) and "3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds". The rest didn't hit me, maybe because it was so much a 60s album, I dunno. But liking 4 of the songs is better than just the 2, so I would probably give it a 2.6, rounding up to a 3.
I always liked Somebody to Love and disliked White Rabbit. The lyrics on the latter are sublime but the sound was too psychedelic for me. The former is energetic and a fierce rocker; a true classic. But there's not enough of it on this album. To me, it's all too plodding. Except 3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds (it's got some energy and bops to it) and Embryonic Journey (an incredibly beautiful and deft instrumental piece). Just not my scene.
Was good. I knew a couple songs on it already. Took me a long time to finish listening tho bc I got kinda bored or distracted a few times but ultimately I really enjoyed the second half a lot more.
The good is very good, and the filler is not hard to listen to either. I just found that I wanted to like it more than I actually liked it.
60s Rock albums - you know one, you know them all. 2.5/5
Some great classics in there.
It was good. Typical hippy album
Inoffensive psych-rock. Nothing more, nothing less. Some cool ideas, but something standout.
Correcto
A record with classics, like "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit", you'd imagine it to be a classic album... but not this one. Those are the only 2 songs that are the classics. The rest is just ok and/or bad '60s rock.
Had its moments (mainly the parts with emphasis on female vocals) but overall is kinda meh. I don’t really have strong feelings about this album. I didn’t hate it (and Somebody to Love is an absolute banger), but it went into one ear and out of the other. The songs meandered too much and had some parts where nothing really happened. It’s a fine album but somewhat uninspiring.
Hard to look past the legendary 60s hype of Grace Slick when listening to this. I knew White Rabbit but not much else. Not a sound I’d listen to again but probably influential.
The whiplash you get from two of the best opening tracks on this list to My Best Friend, a song that’s uhhhhh awful is pretty amazing. A real, guys let’s take it down a few notches, I want people to hear our sensitive side! And the sensitive side sucks ass, Jesus.
i actually really liked it
Pretty solid album overall, I love the vibe. I feel like I could put it on and listen to it all the way, of course the singles are amazing. I think this is probably a three out of five pretty close to a four. There’s a lot of albums to go through.
Me gusto hasta ahí
Ni bueno ni malo. Si lo escucho muchas veces me aburriria, pero una vez cada tanto viaja
It's very 60's. This is free love and drugs before it became cool.
I really likes the songs by the female lead singer and would have probably given the album a 4/5 if it was just her, reminded me of the cranberries.
[3.25/5] Final impressions: Grace Slick just has such a great voice. Unfortunately, she is kind of carrying this album. Generally good throughout, but the primary stand outs are the tracks Slick does vocals on. Listened to on Spotify [https://open.spotify.com/album/6lPb7Eoon6QPbscWbMsk6a]. She Has Funny Cars - The vocals are just fantastic here. Aside from that, nothing too crazy. Somebody to Love - Stronger than the previous track, a fun listen. The standalone instrumentals are great as well. My Best Friend - Not my favorite track out of whats on here. Just okay. Gets somewhat better with the tempo shift. I liked the ending. Today - Good track, creates a tone masterfully. Comin' Back To Me - Amazing instrumentals paired with amazing vocals, absolutely nothing to complain about here. Really like this one. 3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds - A fun ride. A joy to listen to. D. C. B. A.-25 - Great beat, great vocals. How Do You Feel - Good beat, but I don't love this one. A bit too syrupy. Embryonic Journey - Great instrumentals. It's good. *White Rabbit - Is, and has always been, one of my favorite songs of all time. Fantastic. Stays just as good as I remember. Plastic Fantastic Lover - Kind of fun. Not necessarily similar to the rest of this album, which isn't a bad thing. Overall notes: Just generally good throughout. Doesn't really have any low points.
Psychelesic rock. Bit disappointing, expected more from the two songs already known (Somebody to Love and White Rabbit). Nothing else standing out far. Best track - Go To Her or 3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds 3 stars
I knew one song!
3.4
Enjoyed this album, would like to go back and give it a closer listen sometime. 3.5 stars.
I get why it's here, but I guess the 60's just ain't for me. Somebody to Love was the only one I really enjoyed. Quality sounded good, Grace was the better vocalist by far.
Pleasant psychedelic folk/rock but a bit tame and lackluster.
5 star rating system is so limiting
Never a big Airplane fan. Some great songs on this let down by the production as it sounds like it was recorded in a bathroom....
This felt like a bit of a musical education to something I didn't know existed. Enjoyed it, but unlikely to return
Summer of Love baby!
Strong start; not so great consistency towards the end. Joe Cox loved this album.
Songs featuring Grace Slick were the highlight of the album, the rest were a bit groovy
Some classics here, and always some I haven't heard when it's something this far back.
It was average
Cool album all around. Psych rock with some bluesy jams. Iconic singles and strong album tracks.
Am I at Ren Fair again? No, this is an epic band with great hits, the album to me is dabbling in a bit too much. Album rating does not reflect my respect for the band.
Uno de los álbumes más influyentes y significativos del rock psicodélico, que representa perfectamente la atmósfera hippie de los EE. UU. a finales de los 60. De los dos hits (Somebody to Love y White Rabbit) poco hay que decir, son de los temas más conocidos dentro de la contracultura sesentera, y por buen motivo. Composiciones innovadoras, un blues distorsionado y onírico que teletransporta al país de las maravillas. El resto del álbum, por otra parte, flojea un poco. Composiciones folk más típicas de su época, que, aunque no es que sean malas musicalmente, se hacen un poco cansinas. Me hubiera gustado que Grace Slick tuviera en general más protagonismo en el álbum. Un álbum que hay que escuchar antes de morir, aunque solo sea por los singles.
It was an okay album. Obviously "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love" were great songs, that's why they get tons of airplay on classic rock radio. The other songs were good, but not great. I didn't hate them, but I didn't love them.
Cool.
I love the female lead singers voice. My favorite tracks are, “White Rabbit”, “In the Morning”, “Go to Her” and “ somebody to love” (I’ve heard this one before)
I thought I'd really enjoy this album but it weirdly made me angry. The best known songs ("Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit") are still great, but otherwise the album just feels like a product of its time, a decent enough piece of 1960s psychedelic rock but as a whole album it doesn't feel greater than the stand-out classic singles
Ta bien un poco de todo flow rock pop punk y eso
It’s alright. 2.75
It's the 60s. It's jangly guitars. It's top vocals and harmonies. It's a hippyish vibe. It's all good.
I want to like this album more than I do. I see the influence and there are good songs on here, but I don't see myself coming back to it often. 6/10
Don't love, my wife does
I really liked this album both musically and lyrically. Won't go on my regular rotation, but I am glad I listened to it and am aware of the artist!
Pure Psycheldelic blues-based drip. Pleasing to the ear, but very "of an era". White Rabbit is peak Jefferson Airplane. Embryonic Journey is a legendary Jorma jam. The rest is okay but a little too dated. They were "it" for a time and this album is their signature and it's debatable how fame and the 60s, hippie, San Fran scene affected them going forward.
Solidly ‘Meh’
Very good album with a few all-time classic songs sprinkled in.
3.5
My favourites were She Has Funny Cars, 3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds, D.C.B.A-25 and Embryonic Journey. I think the rest is alright. White Rabbit has a cool rhythm.
LET THE GIRL SING! If not for White Rabbit and Somebody to Love this album would be forgotten by almost everyone. It’s a mediocre blues/folk/rock album save for a couple of songs. The other singer/singers, I’m not gonna look it up but it sounds like there might be two male singers, are not that good and their songs are boring. How a band that mostly plays stale blues rock came up with white rabbit is a mystery. That song has no chorus, and hardly any song structure, it just builds and builds till it explodes, but it works so well. And Somebody to Love has a sound of its own, wholly unique to the rest of the album. Everything else on here is forgettable, I did like the instrumental track though.
Enjoyable rock album. Somebody to Love and White Rabbit resonated with me the most and had me grooving along to them.
I really liked some of the songs
This is a time capsule that transports you to a singular cultural moment. This was the first major record out of the Haight-Ashbury movement that opened the door for all the SF bands. Amazing how dated it sounds to me today versus when I first listened to this in the late 80’s. I don’t think I ever played it from top to bottom. There are some high points, mostly the Grace Slick tunes, and How Do You Feel -> Embryonic Journey -> White Rabbit is a sweet progression to close out the B side.
Pshychadelia before the knob twisting lead them into a ditch. The songs are actually written. I see the craft and the talent is on display. I just don't like it very much. I can't connect with it. The flavor is just not my cup a tea - save "Embryonic Journey". Jorma K is bringing the heat on that one and all vocalists are sitting that one out. Perhaps I've just solved this mystery.
- Son très fin des années 60, très léger, très plaisant à écouter. - Je ne connaissais pas le groupe, sauf de nom, et une rapide lecture de leur page Wikipédia me fait comprendre que l’histoire du groupe est très complexe et comporte plusieurs changements de nom (Jefferson Airplane, Jefferson Starship, Starship et plein d’autres side-projects) et de line-ups (et des revival tours des différents line-ups des différents bands, ouf). - Mais la musique de ce disque est très joyeuse, entrainante, bubbly, diraient les jeunes. - Il y a quelques fois un son qui fait penser aux Beatles (c’est l’époque, ne l’oublions pas), comme sur My Best Friend.
Felt this one was quite mid to be honest, a lot of it comes down to generic 1967 summer of love songs with a kind of weird sound to this album that I wasn’t a massive fan of, although I did think it worked for some of the songs. Wasn’t bad though mostly because of the hits which really lift this such as somebody to love and white rabbit. Other songs I liked the most were also the more popular ones like embryonic journey which was a really cool interlude and plastic fantastic lover. Overall 6/10.
Good vibes. First time listening to this front to back.
I was between 3 and 4 for this one. I had only recognized Somebody to Love, but most of the other tracks were good. Part of me feels like I want to give it a 4 since I just went through a dreadful stretch of albums, but I feel like I'd be undermining other 4s I've given. So 3 it is.
It's a decent and varied psychedelic work, the songs just don't particularly grab me They keep it interesting, at least, it's not a bad listen and it's a respectable album. It just isn't enough for something higher
Great Sixties Stuff with 2 absolute classics on it!
Enjoyable. Quite a variety of style but blended well. Would not listen to on repeat except for the top two songs "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love".
I went into this album only knowing "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit." I was disappointed. This is pretty generic psychedelica.
음., 그렇게 끌리지않음
Hard to separate from every cliche boomer montage of hippies, the 60s, San Francisco, and all the rest, but it's iconic for a reason. The fuzzy garage blues psych style, gnarly guitars, a bit of a groovy groove and booming pair of pipes are so good. The twee folksy stuff not so much - slow, tepid and meandering. Favorites: DCBA 25, somebody to love, 3/5 of a mile, embryonic journey, plastic fantastic lover
vibey, reminds me of my dad (again) also, drugs ! i'd say like 3.5, nice to have on in the back and some cool or pretty or funky or bluesy stuff
I really like some of the songs, and the others are just okay.
I knew Somebody to Love and White Rabbit, but they are the outliers here - some of the other tracks felt more folky than psychedelic.
Really like the song White Rabbit. The rest of the album was just okay for me.
This record has its ups and downs for me. I didn't know what to expect, so I planned to see a bunch of folk tracks. I was glad that there was a diverse set of songs here. Highlights for me in this record were the surprise blues in "In The Morning" and the instrumental performances in "Embryonic Journey". A lowlight for me was the vocals. The vocals felt underpowered compared to the instrumentals, and overall, I didn't like the vocal tones found here. Favourite Track(s): In the Morning, Embryonic Journey, White Rabbit, Somebody to Love Least Favourite Track(s): Comin' Back to Me, Today
Some good tracks mixed with some pretty forgettable ones.
Would really like it playing in a bar or a café. Embryonic Journey <3 Final episode of Friends. White Rabbit <3 Stranger Things and Handmaid's Tale. Somebody to Love
A couple good songs a lot of mid
I didn’t realize many of these songs were theirs. Psychedelic rock songs from the 60’s / 70’s.
Nice album but quite dated now and “of it’s time”. Enjoyed Grace Slick’s vocals.
The two songs are anthemic and iconic. The rest was a drag.
“Somebody to Love” is an obvious standout. “Today” and “Coming back to me” are the standout tracks for someone new to the album. 1st album on my journey. I had hoped for more from the album but it was hit and miss.
Stellar tracks like White Rabbit, Somebody To Love really standout among some groovy but kind of samey offerings here on this Surrealistic Pillow. Pretty much anything Grace Slick isn’t singing lead in is a bit of a bore.
I liked the folksy parts of this album, but I also enjoyed the rock tracks. Grace Slick's voice is mesmerizing, and the songs without her on lead vocals suffered in my opinion, knowing that they could've featured her instead. Other than "White Rabbit" and "Somebody To Love," which I'd of course heard before, I thought "Go To Her" was a standout on this album. "Come Back Baby" was one of the non-Slick songs I really enjoyed.
Sorti en février 1967, "Surrealistic Pillow" le deuxième albums du groupe Jefferson Airplane est rapidement devenu la bande-son de la contre-culture naissante, propulsant le rock psychédélique sur le devant de la scène internationale et laissant une empreinte indélébile dans l'histoire de la musique populaire. L'enregistrement de Surrealistic Pillow s'est déroulé à l'automne 1966 dans les studios RCA Victor à Hollywood. Sous la houlette du producteur Rick Jarrard, le groupe allait cristalliser une alchimie unique. Et l'arrivée récente de la chanteuse Grace Slick, transfuge du groupe The Great Society, fut un catalyseur majeur. Avec elle, Jefferson Airplane n'a pas seulement gagné une voix féminine puissante et charismatique, capable de rivaliser avec les ténors masculins du rock de l'époque, mais aussi deux des chansons les plus emblématiques de l'album et de la décennie : "Somebody to Love" et "White Rabbit". Ces deux titres, originellement interprétés par The Great Society, furent métamorphosés par Jefferson Airplane. "Somebody to Love", est un hymne vibrant à l'amour libre et à la connexion humaine. "White Rabbit" est une pièce maîtresse du psychédélisme. S'inspirant du Boléro de Maurice Ravel pour sa progression crescendo et des aventures d'Alice au Pays des Merveilles de Lewis Carroll pour ses paroles allusives aux drogues et à l'altération de la perception, la chanson est une invitation hypnotique à explorer les "terriers du lapin" de la conscience. Sa diffusion sur les ondes radio, malgré ses références audacieuses, témoigne de l'audace d'une époque en pleine mutation. Au-delà de ces deux succès retentissants, qui se hissèrent respectivement à la cinquième et huitième place du Billboard Hot 100, "Surrealistic Pillow" est un écrin de pépites musicales. L'album s'ouvre sur "She Has Funny Cars" une critique subtile du matérialisme américain enveloppée dans un rock énergique aux guitares carillonnantes. La ballade folk-rock "Today" offre un moment de pure poésie et de mélancolie rêveuse. Le son de l'album est d'une richesse impressionnante, fusionnant les racines folk du groupe avec des explorations psychédéliques audacieuses, des touches de blues et des harmonies vocales complexes qui deviendront l'une de leurs marques de fabrique. La section rythmique ancre solidement les envolées psychédéliques. Le jeu, mélodique et inventif, est particulièrement remarquable, tandis que la batterie, apporte une dynamique et une finesse inhabituelles pour le rock de l'époque. Les guitares, tantôt incisives et bluesy, tantôt planantes et réverbérées, dessinent des paysages sonores fascinants, comme en témoigne le solo emblématique et déformé de "Somebody to Love" ou la délicate pièce instrumentale acoustique "Embryonic Journey", une composition épurée qui clôt l'album original sur une note d'introspection et de beauté intemporelle. Les contributions vocales de Marty Balin, fondateur du groupe, restent centrales. Sa voix de ténor offre un contrepoint parfait à la puissance affirmée de Grace Slick, créant une dynamique vocale. À sa sortie, "Surrealistic Pillow" connut un succès commercial considérable, atteignant la troisième place du classement des albums Billboard. Il fut certifié disque d'or par la RIAA peu après sa sortie, puis platine, témoignant de son impact massif sur le public. Plus important encore, l'album est considéré comme l'un des manifestes du "San Francisco Sound" et une œuvre fondatrice du rock psychédélique. Il a ouvert la voie à une nouvelle forme d'expression musicale, plus libre, plus poétique et plus aventureuse. Il s'en sort avec un 3 sur 5 et cinquante-sept ans après sa sortie, "Surrealistic Pillow" reste un album essentiel. C'est un témoignage vibrant d'une période d'effervescence créative, une capsule temporelle qui nous transporte au cœur du psychédélisme californien, mais aussi une œuvre intemporelle dont la beauté étrange et la puissance évocatrice continuent de fasciner.
This album shines brightest when Grace Slick takes the mic. Her tracks are the real gems, especially "Somebody to Love". A classic that makes you feel like you’re floating on a cloud of good vibes. The rest of the album? Just forgettable fillers that don’t quite measure up!
Good album, very much of their era. You can feel the vibe of the scene in which it was created. Not my cup of tea songwise, but a good record indeed.
Je m'attendais à une inquiétante fébrilité comme dans White Rabbit, mais j'ai plutôt eu du rock communautaire comme dans Somebody to Love. C'était quand même sympathique, et la chanteuse a vraiment une puissance et un timbre admirables
Some good moments - particularly fun recognising how much it clearly influenced Phineas and Ferb - but too swampy wet overall.
GOOD VIBES
Not necessarily my thing. But I always thought of Jefferson Airplane as classic rock (which they are) but I didn’t realize how hippie they actually were, which is a good thing. I prefer the female vocals. They are a different band with her singing. I need to look her up. I don’t know her name. Their name alone is worth a star before you even listen to the music. Surrealistic Pillow. Amazing title.
One of the classic rock band. Good tunes, my favorites of course is Somebody to Love and White Rabbit. Good album.
It's solid. Somebody to Love really stuck out for me, but other than that, I found myself bored for most of the rest of the album.
Another one of the situations I'd like to have a 10 scale for. 6/10.
This one's pretty good. I like a couple of the well known tracks alot. I would go 7/10, so 3/5.
I don’t remember much but it feels like there are some classics on here
I had never heard of this band and I was pleasantly surprised. Bluesy, countercultured, with some rock n roll and great guitar.
3.5 if that was possible.
Some great songs, arrangements, and psychedelic folk fun but seriously dated and cringey on some songs. Love Grace Slick vocals on "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love"
3- Stars (7/15)
A classic psych rock album from the 60s. Some great druggy imagery depicted in the lyrics. I do think this album does lack a bit of cohesion in the middle but for the most part it's pretty good. 7/10 Favourite: Somebody to Love Least Favourite: My Best Friend
We are not super big fans of this 60s style music. Wanted to give it a 2.5, but we can't do "half stars"... better than In Utero, worse than Aladdin Sane (#1 and #4 in our listening and this was #5).
This was a good album. It had the few Jefferson Airplane songs that I knew on it. There was also one great bluesy song that felt a little out of place but was pretty amazing.
Somebody To Love - A++ song White Rabbit is overrated. The rest of the album was pretty meh. Wish they were a bit more rock and roll Won't be in a hurry to listen again 3 ⭐️
A very definition of 3 meh album. Coming Back to Me is a great song though and, I believe, very effectively featured in the movie about Steve Prefontaine, Without Limits iirc.
A quintessential hippie album that helped shape the culture during those times. Apart from the solid vocals, good production, and a bit of variety in sound there really ain't much else to say. A nice listen though. Top 3: Somebody To Love, My Best Friend, and Embryonic Journey No bad songs 3.50/5
Woah didn't know they were the somebody to love people Let the woman sing more songs she's beautiful and talented and skilled
Sometimes variety means you're versatile. Other times it means you're Applebee's. Doing everything okay but nothing great. That's kind of how I felt listening to this. It was honestly a big of a slog and it mostly just made me want to listen to other artists that I felt did "that thing" better. It's like if you put The Mamas and the Papas, The Zombies, The Beatles, and Jim Croce all together and then made them mediocre. Normally two stars, but 1 extra start for "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit"
I was hoping this would be great, because I love Somebody To Love, Today and White Rabbit, but other than those tracks, nothing really stood out
Jefferson Airplane’s Surrealistic Pillow remains one of the cornerstones of psychedelic rock, capturing the free-spirited energy of San Francisco’s 1960s scene. While it doesn’t match the conceptual ambition or cultural magnitude of The Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, it exudes a more spontaneous and emotional authenticity that gives it lasting charm.With songs like “Somebody to Love” and “White Rabbit,” the album fuses folk-rock warmth with surreal, dreamlike textures. Its balance of introspection and intensity makes Surrealistic Pillow not just a product of its time, but one of the best and most enduring works of its genre.
These were some pretty groovy tunes. But not all of em were like like super-groovy. Ya dig?
Very catchy and psychedelic. Today is my favorite track off the album
i like some of the songs, but not as good for the album overall
This is my first time listening to Jefferson Airplane album. I have of course heard "Somebody to Love", but other than that all the songs are new to me. The album contains some very strong songs, but it also has some songs that I don't care for. Grace Slick's voice is fantastic! Favorite tracks: - Somebody to Love - White Rabbit - Today - Comin' Back to Me
A few classics from the 60s
Not a bad album Not really a psychedelic rock listener but it was not bad. 3/5 not bad
Qualche hit, belle melodie, un po' lento ma normale data l'età
Alright hippy rock. White Rabbit is an incredible song, but the rest of this album is mostly just alright. I appreciate its place in history, but it's rarely what I'm trying to listen to.
I think it’s great some of the songs are genuinely so good. Some slow songs but it’s cool. Also cool that they’re from San Fran
Besser als ich erwartet habe. Irgendwie wie Beatles mit Frau. Echt in Ordnung.
I had high hopes for this one, but I don't think they were met. It's very inconsistent, and while some songs are incredible, there's a huge boring gap in between.
A bit of a mix. I really enjoyed the tracks with Grace's vocals on them, white rabbit and someone to love are incredible tracks... But most of the ones with other leads sounded like someone trying to be Paul Simon, it just felt a bit derivative. Not sure I rate it as an album particularly.
Meh
Standout tracks in "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit" but otherwise a pretty mid album
Somebody to love-great. My Best Friend-quite good. Also enjoy 3/5 of a mile. Drags on towards the end.
This album is all over the place. There are syrupy 60s pop songs that I find boring and annoying. Tons of folk. In the Morning is a cool bluesy song that I surprised myself by liking a lot. I don't know what category Plastic Fantastic Lover belongs in but I like it. White Rabbit is so good. It makes me want to believe that they were tinkering with a bunch of different sounds and stumbled on that one. I love to think of them discovering psych rock by accident. I used to have this album on CD. I'd listen to it in my honda civic in high school. Pretty sure it was just White Rabbit and Somebody to Love though.
"You know what the trouble about real life is? There's no danger music." Cable guy's use of somebody to love is forever imprinted in my brain. Song is haunting. the rest of the album is actually pretty good. I love the dreamy, echo-y drums. Makes me want to listen to Velvet underground though so I found myself skipping around a lot.
The songs where Grace sings the main vocals are the hits and they really stand out compared to the Marty Balin led songs. Some of these songs feel quaint compared to Somebody to Love or White Rabbit. It’s good that Henry left the folk stuff behind.
Never liked or got into Jefferson Airplane at the time. My best mate liked them which I thought was strange because his main faves were Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow and Tina Turner. Diverse tastes I know and I don’t know how JA fit into the middle of them. Never asked him and cannot now do so as he is no longer with us. I have a feeling that because he was a bit of a ladies man he thought Grace Slick was hot and who cannot agree with that? I have no JA in my collection and I think that this is a bit remiss of me considering how important they were and in particular this album. I prefer the quieter slower numbers over the more rockier ones and for them alone I think it worthwhile that I should buy the album. 3/5 7/4/25
Jefferson Airplane straddle a whole lot of genres here. Rock, psychedelia, prog included. This album is clearly a product of its times and a lot of that product is dated. Obviously the standouts is Someone to love and White Rabbit are mainstays and some bluesy striations are entertaining, but some of this album, while definitely a must listen are easy skips in 2025. 3/5
Some great songs (the well-known hits) but others felt same-same. Overall the songs with Grace Slick as the vocalist were the more memorable ones.
Interesting in so much as it’s a glimpse into the psychedelic 60s but mostly forgettable background noise for me. The songs with Grace Slick are the better ones generally but I won’t be adding this to any playlists!
The epitome of 60s psychedelic rock. For me though, other than the 2 big songs, the rest is eh.
It was interesting. I already had "White Rabbit" from here favorited on Spotify, and I picked up another. It was standard 60's rock. I could listen to it again, but I doubt I will. My Rating: 3/5
The two hits off Surrealist Pillow got a lot of radio play through the 70s. My memory of the Summer of Love was as a seven year old growing up in the pine barrens of NJ; swimming at Three Beach, riding bicycles on dirt paths or behind the bug sprayer (a red pickup truck acting as a crop duster), and playing sandlot whiffle ball. Plenty of fun, sun, and love. But no one had seen a hippie or flower child in Medford Lakes yet, that would take until 1968 and moving to Rutgers. But this album brought me back for an hour and captured (or helped create) the sound of the times. The two hits, the album title, and the addition of Grace Slick are a few of the reasons this one definitely deserves to be on the 1001 List. Doesn’t hold up that well, enjoyed it enough to go to (2.8*s)
Good psych rock album from a bunch of trippy hippies. Grace Slick is the highlight with her witch-like eeriness so good move adding her to the band. "White Rabbit" is top track but other hits support the project. Lay back on your surrealistic pillow with some headphones and feed your head with these tunes...3.25.
I mean it’s fine
enjoyable. 3.5 stars
Jefferson Airplane is not my favorite late sixties psychedelic bay area rock band. In fact, they're not even my favorite Jefferson Airplane. I listen to Jefferson Starship and Starship way more often. But this is a solid album. White Rabbit obviously a masterpiece and Embryonic Journey is pure beauty love. 3.7
It's aight
Two exceptional Grace Slick vocals carry an average album to 3 stars or C+.
Molto bella 'Somebody to Love', al resto manca un po' una voce predominante
Without Somebody to Love and White Rabbit this would be a fairly unremarkable collection of jangle poppers and light rockers, with a few nice moments. With them? Well, they’re two of the defining moments of 60s psychedelia! Maybe they should’ve let Grace Slick sing more often? Just a thought. 3.5
Alright.
> the Beatles
Not bad, but too hippie sounding to me. 3.5 stars
Very quaint, Austin Powers-y psyche pop n folk. Like Grace Slick a lot and she has a couple of nice bangers with Somebody To Love and White Rabbit. The bloke vocalist sullies the joint though, sounds like a super sub-satisfactory Sonny Bonno. Best songs are the two main Grace Slick sung hits and Embyronic Journey which is an instrumental.
Das Album Surrealistic Pillow von Jefferson Airplane wurde 1967 veröffentlicht und zählt zu den bedeutenden Werken des Psychedelic Rock. Die Band stammt aus den USA und war Teil der Musikszene von San Francisco, die in den späten 1960er-Jahren großen Einfluss auf die Rockmusik hatte. Das Album wurde in den RCA Studios in Hollywood aufgenommen. Musikalisch bewegt sich Surrealistic Pillow zwischen Folk-, Rock- und psychedelischen Elementen. Besonders hervorzuheben sind die Stücke „Somebody to Love“ und „White Rabbit“, die nicht nur zu den bekanntesten Songs der Band gehören, sondern auch das Album prägen. Neben diesen markanten Titeln enthält das Album weitere Stücke mit melodischen Gitarrenarrangements und mehrstimmigem Gesang. Insgesamt ist Surrealistic Pillow ein Album, das den Zeitgeist der späten 1960er-Jahre widerspiegelt und sowohl musikalisch als auch stilistisch für das Genre prägend war.
the hits are awesome but the rest is wanky
Some good things, some really rather average. 3
Pretty Groovy!
I dont hate it all but some songs were so much better than other (Somebody to love and White Rabbit) overall it was underwhelming
Like all stuff of this genre from this era there are great tracks when the tempo is up, but when they're just twiddling with their guitars it's a bit rubbish
This is good background music.
Unique sound, liked all of them, though none stood out to me.
The album has 2 HOF tracks from the 60s and yes you know them. While the rest of the album isn't cohesive as it plays from Mamas and the Papas type melodies to more obscure sounds, it warrants a thorough listen. I wish we could give half stars because this album is above a 3 but not quite a 4 for me.
It starts out strong, kind of fizzles out in the middle, but picks back up again towards the end. Overall, it's a pretty solid album though and the guitar playing really stands out in a great way.
The Grace Slick lead vocal tracks are what I want to hear. The rest feels very middle of the road.
The 60s were an odd time for music weren’t they? The ‘album’ feels like such an underused format for delivering music. I assume the kids just wanted the 45s which is where the best music was to be found, but albums don’t really feel like they come into their own until the 70s. This is yet another 60s release that has a handful of bangers on it, but is mainly padded out with much inferior tracks. The singles here do so much heavy lifting.
The Grace slick songs are so clearly bettter. I guess hippies could be chauvinistic too. The rest just sounds very silly like outtakes from Austin Powers.
Yllättävän vaisu tai ujo muuten kuin Somebody to lovessa (joka on tietty tosi hyvä). En tajua White rabbitin suosiota ihan täysin… eheä kokonaisuus mutta joo vähän laimea. Karsea kansi?!
Siinä missä Mamas and the Papas piilottaa synkkyyttä pirteän rockin alle, Jefferson Airplane piilottaa naiiviutta psykehtävän soinnin taakse (kuten niin monet). Hitti Somebody to Love on kuitenkin todella hyvä - ja niin on toisella kuuntelulla myös psykehitti White Rabbit. Itse asiassa levy rullaa kokonaisuutena muutenkin ihan kunnioitettavasti (tsekkaa Today ja Comin' Back to Me), vaikka bändi saisikin olla vähän pirteämpi ja rockimpi. 3,5
Some nice new finds on this beyond the hits. My Best Friend, How Do You Feel, JPP McStep B Blues - shockingly Mamas and the Papas sounding. But several slow dribblers kind of bring the album down on the whole for me.
Outside of white rabbit and somebody to love nothing really hit me. Not bad, interesting for sure, but also sort of what I expected.
Hippie rock, mid but not bad. IwouldplaythisasbackgroundmusicandnotrememberanyofwhatIjustlistenedto/5
I like the feel of this album and the variety between singers. I wouldn't mind a few more listens to make a true assessment, but it's positive so far.
Meh
I know the singles, love em but the rest is kinda hit and miss at times
.
The first half of 1967 saw the release of the first album by the Doors, the Velvet Underground, and Jimi Hendrix. It saw the revolutionary releases of the Beatles' "Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane" and Sgt Pepper. Love and Traffic made their debuts in '67, and there were also sophomore releases by Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention and Cream. 1967 was the greatest year in rock 'n' roll history. Surrealistic Pillow by Jefferson Airplane appeared in February of '67, showing what a deep bench this year boasted. And while it didn't charm me as much as I'd hoped, the primary Grace Slick contributions were remarkable. "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit" do not grow old, and carry such power. They also represent their times well. The only other song that really grabbed me was "Plastic Fantastic Lover" (a song about TV, add it to a playlist with "Trouble Every Day" and "I'm the Slime" from the Mothers.) This is only a 3/5 for me, but it's a strong 3 with some 5/5 moments in a 5/5 year.
It is undenable that Jefferson Airplane played an important and pivotal role in solidifying psychadelic rock in the 60s. And because of this, I was looking forward to exploring their music a little more. It isn't bad, but this is one of those rare occurrences where the known singles from the album stand out entirely of what's memorable and important for this band. I did enjoy some of the other tracks, but in terms of quality and impact, I didn't find much here. Finally, it is hard to take Grace Slick seriously when you have the Jefferson Starship garbage mingling in your head.
This album has two amazing songs (White Rabbit and Someone to Love, obviously) and that’s about it. Why they had anyone besides Grace Slick sing is beyond me. I owned this CD. Listened to it I think twice, ripped those two songs onto Winamp, and never touched it again. For some reason, this album feels more dated than the rest of the stuff on this list. 3/5 stars, but only because White Rabbit is so incredible, even for those of us who avoided the whole drug scene.
I love the obvious hits on this one, I like 50% of the other stuff, and the last 40% ... it's a bit too hippy trippy for me to really enjoy. Another where I appreciate the significance, and feel akin to the era in many ways, but there's something about this that's a little too ramshackle and inner aura or something. Individually, Slick is a force, Marty Balin has a one-of-a-kind voice, Kantner is a songwriter I like... maybe its Jorma Kaukonen that throws off the balance for me? (Maybe that's why I gravitate to Jefferson Starship over Airplane?) I don't know, and it's unnecessary to quibble. It's a 3.5 in my world, but I'm inclined to keep it at a 3 even with the stellar "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit." What d'ya want? It's friggin Monday morning.
I went into this album thinking for sure it would be a 5 or 4. I listened to this LP a LOT growing up and was very fond of the lesser known songs--She Has Funny Cars, Today, Plastic Fantastic Lover. It just didn't hold up to my memory of it.
This is another one of those albums where the sound of the decade they existed in settled on them like the ashes of Pompeii, preserving them just as they were. The 60s writ large, this album checks all of the boxes. At times you could be listening at the mamas and the papas, at others Simon and Garfunkel. The two break out songs broke out enough to make it to us all, “white rabbit” and “somebody to love”. Those two heavyweights carry this album to a three from me.
Album is pretty mediocre in general but I find it funny how one of their most streamed songs on Spotify is "Somebody to Love" probably because of the name being identical to the Queen song.
White rabbit er full stutt en æðislegt lag. Don't you want somebody to lvoe er líka sjöundatugarfínt. Restin er ágæt, en of mikið af filler fyrir fjarka.
not really into this one much, although it does contain two of the iconic songs of the psychedelic era, “someone to love” and “white rabbit”… so there’s that.
This is fine. I definitely prefer Grace Slick to the dude singer(s).
some iconic pop songs. some vapid filler.
I have never heard anything from this band before aside from “Somebody to Love”, and this record is inconsistent but very solid. There are songs that I absolutely love, and others that I became annoyed with after one listen. I’d love to shout out to”Embryonic Journey” as it is a beautiful acoustic guitar track.
Kinda cool, just music that is great to vibe out to. Favourite Song: 3/5 of a Mile in 10 Seconds
It was nice to hear the classic hits within the context of the album they came from.
Ha, I mean I guess this is a pretty rocking album.
Paar hele grote hits, maar iets te veel los zand, en buiten de hits niet top.
I liked the whole album better than the radio hits.
Ready set take off
Radio hits: Somebody to Love White Rabbit Pretty guitar instrumental track: Embryonic Journey
3* might have enjoyed it more with a shroom or two
* Favorite song: Embryonic Journey * From the days where you could pan all the drums to one side and guitars to another. Everything is drenched in reverb. Really a product of its time from a production standpoint. * Some really hokey songs in here (My Best Friend) * White Rabbit doesn't fit with the vibe of the rest of this record. It's so jarring compared to the easy-going folksiness of the rest, except maybe Go To Her. It feels like an experiment, which perhaps it was in its day. Full disclosure - I have never liked this song. It goes on the list of "Songs I've had enough of in this lifetime" * Definitely enjoy Grace Slick's vocal performances.
cool sounds throughout but surprisingly sleepy at times the kind of album i'd get to look cool but in reality i just want to listen to somebody to love and white rabbit and id let the rest play until i got tired of it! also dear white rabbit lovers - the cover by Mayssa Karaa on the american hustle soundtrack is slayful 11/10
Fun psychedelic album. White Rabbit is classic and maybe best of the genre. "J.P.P. Mc Step B. Blues" was great. Still can't believe this band became Starship and created "We built this city" but anything can happen with enough LSD.
One of the biggest bands of the time and this album does have a couple big hits. It's some good psychedelic rock but perhaps a bit dated. There's a blues song in the middle of this album too? A fine listen. 5.5/10 (2.75/5)
The singles loom large on this one, and whilst Surrealistic Pillow is listenable I think much of the album pales in comparison to 'Somebody To Love' and 'White Rabbit'.
Some classics on here
I think there was a time some decades ago I really liked this, but I feel increasingly bored by Jefferson Airplane. Still, this album does some good stuff and has a few really good songs.
Great “Age of Aquarius” vibes from this record. Haunting vocals and cool guitar work. Could use a bit more sitar. Standout track are: “Somebody to Love” and “3/5 of a mile in Ten Seconds”.
Varied sounds of the songs on this album from psyadellic to blues with some rock songs throne in.
Somebody to Love, White Rabbit
An icon of 60's rock, this album is a good listen with a few surprises I wasn't expecting (a blues song!). You could certainly do worse.
Some good, some not so great. Decent album with a couple killer cuts.
Not my cup of tea
Meh
solala, zwei/drei halbwegs bekannte Lieder dabei; aber ist auch schon in die Jahre gekommen
A classic album. Somebody to Love and White Rabbit do all the heavy lifting here, but it's still a decent album, overall. Grace Slick's voice is so incredibly iconic.
Some hits but generally it felt rough around the edges. 3.16
Pretty cool
It was okay but that about sums up it, okay, some really nice tracks but VERY sleepy album just not something that’s very fantastic to me
Good album if you're in the mood / chilled out 3/5
This is an alright album where the "Somebody to Love" song is their most popular one but "White Rabbit" sounds very similar and somehow has more listens but doesn't have that part that is really cool. Overall, not too bad, it was fine as a background listen.
Love the 2 hits, the rest was good too but unsure how often I'd go to listen to this
3/5
Familiar with half a dozen Jefferson Airplane songs but had never listened through an album before. Fun, funky. Sometimes almost childlike (in a good way). I like the narrative/literary nature of many of the tracks (like Alice in Wonderland). Go To Her probably slaps the hardest.
She Has Funny Cars has great drums but didn’t really connect to the lyrics or melody. Somebody To Love is possibly the strongest second song on an album ever. Such a mighty sound, so well executed. Her voice has so much power and pain. My best friend, love the harmonies within the vocal performance, melody is solid too just not as catchy. However the change in tempos throughout keeps you locked in completely. Today, builds suspense and melancholy very nicely, I was really pulled into the story. The mini crash out at the end when singing “it’s all for you” so perfect. Straight into Comin’ Back To Me, with a long and slow intro makes total sense. I personally love the talking poetry take for the lyrics. The subtle melody is great to keep you guessing where it will go next. A well written musical version of yearning. I’d love to be two glasses of wine in listening to this next time. Woah, the complete switch back to the sound at the beginning with 3/5. This feels like the big crash out about missing someone to the point of being driven mad. Just needing to be in a circus. D. C. B. A. that last line “You were the world to me for a while” is quite frankly harrowing. Again showing their ability to make sorrow more upbeat. How do you feel, I love that pipe?? that brings you in. The chorus of vocals feels moving. I am interpreting this as being in the strange situation of meeting a fan, but could be completely wrong. Like i’m imagining them just not wanting to let them down because it “brightens up their day”. Embryonic it’s a guitar solo that is intricate and stunning. And that’s from someone who hates guitar solos usually. I’m actually having the thought that Harry Styles may have sampled it? White Rabbit seems very cautionary from the get go about drug abuse. Talking about asking Alice, i’m assuming in wonderland. Lyrically and melodically very interesting. “Feed your head” is fitting. Plastic Fantastic Lover falls a bit flat for me. Nothing grabs me. Some lyrics still ring true today but the composition doesn’t thrill me. In The Morning immediately does make me excited to see what they will do to the blues. I’m liking the instrumentation for sure. The rest is letting it down, and it’s truly too long, because it’s the same over and over. J. P. P., such a sweet song of friendship!! I think it’s adorably made. Simple but well constructed. Go to Her, feels like Somebody to Love’s cousin. I’m not the biggest fan, seems like a half assed version to repeat it. The guitar solos too long and feels unimpressive even with the pick up of tempo. Ending on Come Back Baby, the bass has a great performance, I really like that. Apart from that i’m a bit tired of feeling like this is a melody Ive heard on like 3 other songs at least. Over all the album has great vocal performances, fab rhythm sections and a lot of guitar solos. It’s too long. Personally it would be a much higher score if it took out about 5 songs. Anyway yeah most likely won’t listen to it in its entirety ever again.
The higher energy, harder parts were nice, but the rest sounded pretty run of the mill. Somebody to Love a classic nonetheless
pretty solid psych rock
Didn’t expect to recognize Somebody to Love. The production on this so far is really cool & groovy. Damn, Today is romantic as hell, first save off the album. Really enjoyed this one!
It would be much better to have more of female vocals in this album. Somebody to love is a banger; White rabbit is tense and just great. And guess what they have in common?
3 Some ok hits, and does a good job representing genre, but overall a bit long
Two great songs. Instrumentals were better than expected. Will listen again
I almost rated it higher just because it has white rabbit
A couple of all time great songs and a bunch of extremely medium songs
Good classic rock
My dad was very happy to hear this one when I was trying to find albums from the list that he’d like for our road trip
A deep dive I had once done in high school and one of the most quintessential psychedelic pieces rock albums. Very fun
Great and timeless album. Amazing to see how many songs and techniques got perpetuated through time for an album made in de 60s. Would definitely listen again, even thou its not my genre of preference.
Solid sounds of Psychedelic San Francisco. As with many of these classic rock albums I find the deep cuts to be more interesting than the extremely well-known hits.
I thought this album was actually a good listen and it certainly has a feeling of the hippy era, I liked it.
Psychedelic rock album what can I say. Love some songs but would hardly put on an entire album of it again.
A tour de force of 60s music that I generally dislike. Harmonizing vocals in a very 1960s style. Acid psychedelic stuff. Great guitar though on Come Back Baby (terrible voice...can someone else sing?). My Best Friend is pretty solid though, even though it's a bit cheesy.
Some good psych rock. I really like the way the singers voice flows.
Jesus, how many different people wrote the songs on this album? Bubblegum pop to existential dread from song to song; it's pretty jarring. The songs that hit, though? Holy shit. Just put those on a playlist and leave the rest.
I liked this album more than I thought I would, especially all the songs up to and including White Rabbit. Plastic Fantastic Lover is skippable; the rest is not bad blues inflected psychedelia, definitely of its time.
Listened to the 11 tracks original release. Besides the iconic "Somebody to Love" nothing remarkable on for me. 2,5
Ambien on vinyl. That might be what you're into, I find this one pretty dull. I can see why it was selected, because Jefferson Airplane were in the right place at the right time, but there's far better psychedelia than this album, even from the same year.
This album had really good vibes. Your two standouts, Somebody to love and White rabbit are both immense classics, standing the test of time. However, the rest of the album fails to jump out at me. Many of the songs have similar taste and sounds, which does draw back from these two major hits.
A lot of sounds, nice songs, and nice voices...
Two absolute 60's bangers with Somebody to Love and White Rabbit - unfortunately everything else is a bit forgettable. Really half arssed album cover also. Also suffers from me being a little burned out from all the late 60's pyschadelia on the list. I think I have almost reached my fill.
Good thing I had a surrealistic pillow because this bored me to sleep
it's aight
It's pretty good. I didn't find a deep cut to add to my collection, but it was solid. Most of it sounded a lot closer to the Beatles-ey sound of the time than what I expected from the hits I knew.
There are a bunch of good songs on this album, but only a few great songs. And you can guess who sings the great songs.
this seems to be the general consensus, but the best songs are the ones sung by grace slick. everything else is good... just not as good lol
Listening to this album wasn't a bad experience and Starship were one of the important bands of the Americam Psychedelic scene in the 60's, but beyond 'You Need Somebody to Love & "White Rabbit there's not much on offer here. Back in the day I'm sure this would've sounded ground breaking but it's not really well. A good album but not brilliant.
Норм,найдется любитель,я думаю, но это точно не я. Пару песен слышал раньше, одна из альбома даже нравится и это все.
7/10 like the Beatles but not as good. Embryonic Journey and White Rabbit highlight tracks
If Grace Slick isn’t the lead singer this record sucks. However - Somebody to Love and Go Ask Alice are iconic so 3 stars.
It was okay. One brilliant song and some decent others but would not rush to listen again
Kind of that loose acid hippy rock that requires well written songs to not be annoying. A few songs approached that.
A psychedelic standard. Has some good jams, a few great even. A lot of it is pretty forgettable to me though.
Some good tracks on the first half but faded. 2.5
Nice, groovy. Vet ikke om æ ville hørt på hele albumet i en sitting.
This was great. I was humming along the entire time whether I knew the songs or not. Very 60's and very Jeffereson Airplane. The production quality also made it sound very "of the time", as it wasn't the best I've ever heard. Three stars.
The two well known songs are so different from the rest!
A couple of great songs but overall it doesn’t come near White Rabbit.
.
Since the best-known (and best) songs on this album are so classic, I was expecting the full album to be more Grace Slick heavy and uh better. But even if White Rabbit and Somebody to Love are pretty unmatched high points, this is still a pretty good psychedelic rock album all the way through. 3.5/5
I’m not a fan of psych rock myself but this album had a few good, recognizable tracks
One of my all time favourite songs white rabbit. A soaring peice of psycadellia , however he rest of the album is a bit wishy washy the only really good track being 'someone to love', made me conclude the lady should have sang on all the tracks.
Somebody to Love is great, the rest somewhat less so. The extended bonus edition goes on a bit too much too.
I enjoyed the songs I knew enough to make this a tolerable album to listen to.
Some highlights, mainly the singles.
Few classic hits. Never listened to the whole album. Now I have, and I don't think it changed much.
Yes, I'm a hater of Jefferson Starship "We Built This City" in large part to how far they evolved/drifted away from their identity as 'Airplane'. Yes, on 'Surrealist Pillow', the songs with male vocals are of the fey flower child essence, and songs with Grace Slick's vocals remarkably intense, all guiding out on a trippy soul safari.
Hopelessly outdated seen from 2024. Not more than interesting compared with their musical contemporaries.
Eerste album via deze app. Leuk om een keer het hele album te luisteren. Laffe hap maar prima tijdens werk.
Never really been fan of “White Rabbit”. I mean it’s ok, but it’s no “Somebody to Love”, which easily makes it into in the top 5 songs of the 60’s. The rest of the record pales in comparison to those two hits, but it’s enjoyable overall. This band is clearly at their best when they’re playing in rock mode rather than folky acoustic shit. 3⭐️
THREE STARS!!!!
Whilst dripping of the 60’s it’s the iconic Slick showpieces that make this.
Has all the hit singles I knew, those were great. Rest of the album doesn't quite hold up.
A time travel with a couple of very strong songs. The sound never appealed to me fully.
Just sound
I thought I’d like this more. It’s good, but not great.
Did not use a private spotify session. Knowing the two classics from this album and with a title like "Surrealistic Pillow", I expected something more psychedelic and trippy, but it was more folksy and bluesy. The folksy stuff isn't for me, but there is enough good in this album to overlook it.
Best Song: White Rabbit. There's a reason this song is so beloved. It feels so refreshing to hear a song that eschews traditional formats and just rises in this inevitable-feeling crescendo. A rocket launch of a song. Worst Song: My Best Friend. This just feels like cosplaying as The Beatles. There is already an over-abundance of these corny, sugar-sweet harmonies in this era of music, this album would have been better without them here. Overall: A few truly fantastic songs, surrounded by a greater number of just okay ones. I can't help wish that they'd leaned harder into some of their more creative, experimental tendencies, and that they'd given their female vocalist more opportunity as her vocals stand above the rest.
Some bangers surrounded by an okay album. Rotational
A good album with a couple of classic songs, and some songs I had never heard of.
Awesome psychedlic gem
tbh I barely noticed it
Never heard the album before. White Rabbit is still a pretty amazing song with a unique structure. Somebody to Love is pretty meh now. The rest of it... Just sounds like the 60s, and not the "good" 60s. And why did so many 60s and 70s bands put traditional blues style songs on their albums? I won't listen to this album again, but I'm giving it 3 starts just for White Rabbit. "Remember what the dormouse said"
Ho hum... no thanks. Pretty boring stuff (other than the well known numbers).
Solid album with several hits from the times.
It was good in places, not so good in others.
плотный психодел щит
Two solid bangers otherwise the band is mediocre best, kind of a precursor for Fleetwood Mac, but overhyped, I think.
Like: Somebody To Love
true to form, i GOT to hit this with yet another THREE. This album was just okay, thanks
# 334 : They've done a pretty decent job, good album, I like the hits of course but the rest of the record pales in comparison to those two hits, but it’s enjoyable overall. This band is clearly at their best when they’re playing in rock mode rather than folky acoustic shit. Favourite track : Somebody To Love.
It was okay.
