Da Capo

Enjoyed the listen, but seemed very generic 60’s rock. Second Love album I’ve had. Not bad, but not in love. 3/5.

Peak hippy-era, jazz-flute ladened '60s psychedelia.

Cool 60’s album

I wish I could hang out with these guys. I liked the punky folk rockabilly stuff better than the schmaltzy spacejammy stuff. Los Angeles musicians are always so… I don’t know, like they’re missing something. Some vital piece. (Hip-hop mostly aside, west coast rap no joke.) but like is it just too nice here? Is the light too good? Is it something about being so far out on the bleeding edge of the national frontier—but a frontier where it’s no longer possible to even see any dirt? Where we’re all—always already—deracinated? Where roots aren’t even able to gain purchase? Not just the absence of roots, but their impossibility? And so breeds a sense of nihilism, an air not of timelessness but of effervescence? Weeds up through cracks in the sidewalk just until next August, when even the sprinkler runoff isn’t enough to keep them alive. Is it just not difficult enough to motivate the conviction and commitment that engender the edge or depth of feeling or whatever it is that bands from literally everywhere else have? Like, Love is cool but I’m not like “oh yeah another band that TOUCHES MY VERY SOUL” and I think that’s because they’re from L.A.

There were some moments that had me flying!

An interesting album with a unique flavour/sound.

Good

Solid 70s. Last long song was the best bit. They tried different things with each song which kept it entertaining. Loses a star because of the use of flute. Fuck these 70s songs with flutes

The flute/woodwind sounds in the instrumentals are a nice touch, and it feels like this group’s style was revived in some indie alternative music in the decades since; overall it feels very ‘60 but maintains some elements that keep it refreshing and modern. The mixing, composition, and vocal singer fit right into the psychedelia and makes it feel like a more wholesome version of The Doors. Then the last song had some Grateful Dead-sounding jamming, which was very unexpected and grew into more jammy things like the harmonica solo and James Brown “I feel good”ing. The variety of styles I noticed made it way more fun to listen to compared to a more generic but beloved decade piece that sometimes shows up here. 6/10

This is honestly just a pretty weird album, I didn't hate it, I also didn't really love it. It's definitely psychadelic rock, lots of flutes and chime-y drums throughout. There's some jingle bells at the end of "Que Vida". "Seven and Seven Is" is a bit more classic rock sounding, but I wasn't quite as into this one as some of the others. The first half of the album is definitely a bit stronger than the second half. The structure is also a bit odd, with six songs all in the ~3 minute range, and then the last song is a 19 minute jazz song effectively. The whole thing isn't bad, but as a whole just isn't something that totally worked for me. These guys do seem to have a pretty unique sound for the time though, so I appreciate that. Favorite song: Que Vida Other: Orange Skies, The Castle 12/10/23

Not bad, but not my style

Didn’t care much for the first track (Stephanie Knows), but Orange Skies has a pleasant melody. The rest of the tracks go back and forth between pleasant and whiny. The singer sounds like he’s crying sometimes. But the music isn’t bad.

Se dejó escuchar de forma considerable

Not a notable band from the era.

I dont really have strong feelings either way about this....its perfectly fine if bordering dull, there's a random song that last 18 mins which is too long...its 2.5

This was an odd listen. When they got to some of the really long instrumentals there were parts I was digging a fair amount but overall this didn't blow me away. I'm not that surprised that this is mid-60s since the sound is solid but I can think of other bands who sounded like a tighter version of this; I'm willing to bet this band heavily influenced some of those who came after it. This is one of those albums where I feel like I may be missing something since it feels bigger than what I'm hearing.

I'm probably missing some context about why this is here. The garage rock stuff is alright. Feels like they dip into being a jam band at times. Feels like some Doors sound Seven & Seven Is - To me sounds like a more punk version of a Buddy Holly and the crickets sound

3.5

i listened to the wrong album (the debut has a very similar cover) and to be honest i preferred the one i listened to accidentally. my favourite on this one was probably the one that was 18 minutes long but i can't see myself choosing to listen to it again. i really like the musical ideas and i'm surprised i hadn't heard of these guys before because they sound like they would have been quite sonically influential. but, as usual, i think i would be more inclined to listen to the influenced bands rather than the source material. still an interesting listen though.

Was okay. What a doozy that 18 minute song was at the end haha. My knowledge is lacking pre 80s so it's nice to hear music from back when.

Known before: Band Standouts: 01. Stephanie Knows Who Rating: 5.5 Additional Note: Album without the last song (which is practically half of the album) would be 7.0, although this song heavily ruined the album for me, because it is long, boring and practically unlistenable :(

This was the last album of this list I listened to. Kinda disappointing end.

I wanted to like this more than I did. Lead singers voice was not for me. Kind of sounds like the forerunner to King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, but the latter has really taken it to the next level. The main issue for me was that I forgot each song after it happened, besides the last one. I was missing any sort of hook or structure to key me in to the emotional journey of the song. So it really just went in one ear and out the other.

Is this what Zappa was making fun of? Not my favorite but not horrible.

Enjoyed the last song but not to be too brutal most of this was boring sounding 60s music to me

Meh. Quite good, quite twee, quite three

60s fun. Enjoyed it, but wasn't really hooked.

De la bonne musique psychédélique. Pas un album que j'ai trouvé impeccable, la dernière pièce était un peu fastidieuse, mais globalement un album satisfaisant. 7/10

Actually think I preferred this to Forever Changes

Super weird but great jams

идёт что-то незапоминающееся а потом оп и 18 минут психодела! ...нет

Not bad background music

I like this album when it's heavier, has a little blues to it. The bubblegum stuff just bounces right off of my brain. I feel like I can take or leave the last track, enjoying certain parts of it but maybe not a whole eighteen minutes. Favorite tracks: "Stephanie Knows Who", "Seven and Seven Is"

Rating: 6/10 Best songs: Que vida

Hyvä!

Revelation saved it

after reading another review on here that compares Da Capo to the Doors, I gotta agree. I really dig this and am surprised I haven't heard of this album or band before. 3.5/5.

Goddamned hippies

Wow man it's rock and roll dude. 18 minute rock odysseys are stupid, but as far as those go this one is fine. I like when it gets kinda jazzy at the end.

Stylistically all over the place... folk rock, psychedelia, garage rock, blues, plus some softer numbers. Interesting. And makes me want to see what else the band has done.

I like it overall but it feels disconnected and sadly I can't keep it in my head or heart

dunno how they managed to get two albums on the list. but yeah, whatever, it's like a bag for life filled with tepid water.

Pretty cool

Better than I expected from them. Quite experimental too, even for a psychrock album.

Upbeat 60s psych A few songs I liked more than others. Some songs were more Baroque pop and some were more heavy 60s psych I may need to return for another listen sometime

A little perplexed by this band which seems to have made a firmer imprint in the UK as an exemplar of the 60s Rock Scene. This ranges from the most hippie dippy kind of ephemera to hard-edged almost-surf. But it's definitely patchy - in particular, the lyrics throughout feature some clumsy phrasing, and the singing regularly misses the mark.

Lemme guess—this is from Presummer of Love Sanf Francisco or LA? Very of it’s time. Not a bad thing in this case. This is an interesting document. Sometimes good, sometimes up it’s own ass, but it is the record of believers in the thing they are creating. This thing has jazz flute all over it, occasional harpsichord, jazzy vocal lines and of course bluesy belting one’s as well. It’s obvious that this album came before they had standardized mixing practices. The drums and bass are mixed hard right, with guitars often left and the vocals sitting in the middle. I’m sure that when stereo became available, hard panning probably seemed logical. She Comes in Colors is my favorite representation of just pure colorful psychedelia. Revelation, the long long exploratory end track is not as great but was probably fun to drop acid to before acid went mainstream.

I wasn't into it that much. 'Orange Skies' is quite pleasant. The rest of the normal length tracks were just ok. I was actually dreading that last 19 minute long track. It was just sat there taunting me. "It's almost 100% likely that I'm going to be an over-indulgent wank-fest" it said. However... that was actually the track I dug the most. It changed this from a 2.5 rounded down, to a more favourable 2.5 rounded up!

This was better than the other Love album presented in this list. If I were around listening to music in 1966, I might have liked this more. Now, it's nothing special to me.

Oh man, this reminds me of the days I'd go out by the countryside and go fishing with Pa. Good, if a little unmemorable besides the last song where he sounds like he's having a mental breakdown part way through.

One of, if not my favorite, thing about Love's other album, Forever Changes, was the strings present that made it stand out from most other psychedelic rock that was around at the time. However, this earlier album seemed to be going for a more forward thinking stance on the genre. That is not a bad thing, as there are some songs here I like just as much if not more so than Forever Changes, but it also blends in more with artists like the Rolling Stones and other hits from the time. None of that is more evident than with the needlessly long final tune on the album that feels like a jam session that really didn't need to be on the album and got quite annoying after a while. Is it interesting for 1966? Perhaps, but it really brings down the rest of the albums pretty rock solid line up into something that feels more "holier-than-thou" in its production, and I lose interest in the four star I was thinking for the album. Had it been the beginning or even the middle of the album then perhaps I could forget about it and still warrant the four, but putting it at the end leaves a sour taste in my mouth that really middles the album out. Hearing people having sex (or pretending to) has never been one of my favorite genres of music, and someone yelling in my ear about it for nineteen minutes is, I imagine, no one's cup of tea. This is a cool album, in theory, but at the end of the day hating half the album really doesn't seem fair to my other four stars.

The songs vary quite a bit. They’re intriguing. I imagine it would have sounded amazing in 1966.

Strong 6

ok 60's tunes

This sounds like it’s from a musical I think. Hard to describe what I mean. Maybe I’m losing it.

Eclectic 60s rock album that goes through a lot of styles such as garage and folk but is mainly a psychedelic album kind of like an early Doors. It took a while to get used to the vocals and the songs are not always my favorite but it was a decent album. Revelation is also very long but was mostly enjoyable to listen too as long as you’re in the right mood.

It's starts a bit mediocre but it ends in psych epicness. Oh how to score!

Some of this album is ok, some of it is pretty good. The last tracks goes pretty hard and it's over half of the runtime of the entire thing. If some of the shorter songs had better singing or had more substance I would've really loved this one. Score: 60 Art: 70

Was ok. Nice gentle guitar. Did not compel me to relisten

Interesante concepto para su tiempo con canciones faciles de olvidar.

It's not as good as Forever Changes, but I guess we have to take Love in whatever form it comes. Side one is a nice eclectic journey through the subgenres of 60s rock, doing most of them pretty well. Funny that Revelation was unanimously panned by the band members. I mean, I also care very little for 18 minute jam sessions, but loads of people seem to lap that kinda shit up.

groovy

It's like what happens when someone takes too much acid.

Classic rock album, the finale of which is nearly 20 mins long and features some impressive musicianship

The first album generated that I had never heard any song from before. I like the punk-y songs. I loved the opening song. The closer is really good, if a little long. I don’t love the baroque pop aspect like I do the faster punk stuff. I bet this is an album that would grow on me the more I listened.

It’s the same every time: some of it I really like, and some of it not so much.

Noe bra, noe mindre bra

I liked it I think? it was pretty good

It's good but I wish it were better. It jumps too often between garage, psychadelica, surf, lounge pop, blues, and so on to be really consistent. I liked the songs but I wish they were slightly tighter, either with more catchy and accessible hooks, or more obtuse and intellectual. But I'm now very excited to hear their next album on this list. 28/04/23

listen

Yep, that was definitely Love. 60s flute aplenty. Last track went on a bit.

This one was ok, at time the sax solos stood out, but it was mostly unmemorable Appreciated that it was fairly short 2.5/5

I'm so torn here. These guys were obviously pushing the boundaries, and "7 and 7 Is" is really a bop, BUT I dunno. That out-of-tune flute on "She Comes in Colors" docks a star immediately. There's the germ of genius here, but it comes across as accidental much of the time.

I was not familiar with this album at all, having really only known about the follow-up to this album, "Forever Changes," and of course being familiar with the single "7 and 7 Is" from watching Bottle Rocket my whole life. This album is great, it's tight and it's weird and rocking, before settling in to the sprawling closer. Definitely enjoyed it and happy to have more context to this band.

5th April 2023 Listened while working from home and had the kitchen fitted. Heady mix of folk, punk, blues and chamber music with soft melodic vocals. Not particularly memorable though.

Let's go! I loved it from the first second. Baroque harpsichord, rock and roll sax, a waltz, staccato guitars and the lead singer in the throes of a very entertaining frenzy-slash-nervous breakdown... There’s a lot to like here. There is a syrupy, Dusty Springfield-esque ballad, a proto-punk banger, abnormal song structure, HARPSICHORDS, etc. They kind of sound like the Doors but before the Doors. And I love the Doors! Also, in doing my reading about this band I found out they were one of the first racially diverse rock bands ever. I can get down with that. Nonetheless, I wanted to give this a 4 but am knocking it down to a 3 because the last track ruins all the goodwill of the ones that come before it. Horrible song.

Ok so its a Door's sound. cool a 45 minute jam session on the back. The last track is actually not the worst jam I have ever heard and I didnt mind it on the album. I also didnt think too much of the album but such is life I guess.

More fineness

Vreemd album, beetje barok soms

Side 1: Standard non-engaging US psych reminiscent of the musical "Hair". 1-2/5. Side 2: Holy smokes, what a track 'Revelation' is! Clocking in at 18.57, I was completely captivated during its entirety. Around the 5-8 minute mark there is a section strongly driven by the bass, where Ken Forssi is as close to being too early on the 1-beat as you can get while still being on time. The groove shift at 12.40 is pure bliss, and of course the whole thing concludes on a ridiculous baroque ending. This is everything I want from a psychedelic track.

This is a semi-bumpy ride. The first side is quite forgettable but still shines on tracks like “Orange Skies” and “The Castle”. Then there’s the B-side - entirely made up of one single 19-minute song. Where on Earth did that suddenly appear from? An absolute beast of a track. Luckily it takes up half the album and completely overshadows the somewhat lackluster first half.

This album grew on me the further on it played

Cool stuff - 3 stars

Cool grooves, but too much self-indulgent cheese.

Ok

I just really don't know what to say for this one. It's a bit all over the place. Oh that's cute! Oh that's weird! My, that's a long solo! We're screaming now? Was that one of those old cow mooing toys? I haven't seen one of those in a long time! Six songs and then an interminable jam? I have said before that I love the spirit of experimentation that was so free and unselfconscious in the late sixties, but also know that lots of it didn't work out. This was my first album by Love, and from what I can tell, they were indeed working to find their sound. Some worked here, some didn't for me.

The album started out with some enjoyable rock from the 60s with kind of a psychedelic feel. Then something changed and I started to not enjoy it. The final track with a jazz vibe was kind of nice, without the screaming. Overall, just not something that I found all that delightful.

The first few tracks I can only describe using the non-word "prancy" --- maybe it brought to mind circus ponies? I came into "She Comes in Colors" expecting something like the Stones' "She's a Rainbow" but got Madonna's "Beautiful Stranger" instead --- either would have been fine and this is by far the best track. I don't think I'll remember much about the rest.

I listened to this yesterday and now I'm struggling to remember what it sounded like, so I guess I was pretty neutral about it? I was surprised to find out this was made in the mid-60s. I thought it was about 10 years newer. Either way, this was alright!

Pretty standard psych rock I think. Enjoyed it but didn’t think it was spectacular.

а ну, как-то не так, никак, норм

A really enjoyable 60's sound. Can hear where The Doors got their influence. But Side B really didn't do it for me

Usually I like psychedelia in hard rock to a certain degree and then it sort of gets a bit much for me. A bit much weirdness, unpleasant dissonance, lack of direction, etc. While it definitely has some parts I enjoy (notably the parts where they sound rather similar to Genesis), this album crosses that line for me. 3.5 rounded down. Definitely not horribly - but I'll rather just listen to Genesis instead.

Klassisk rock, helt ok.

Music felt pretty par for the course of this era. Story behind some of it is more interesting but eh

Revelation is like Yoko Ono's screams but instrumental

Forever Changes e nog bättre men dehä va helt jännä

Eeeeeeeehhhh

This album was all over the place, but I was strangely down for it! From the first song that reminded me of Tim Curry in Rocky Horror...to other songs that were Rolling Stones-esque...to the chaos of the last song - it definitely seems like this band couldn't figure out what they wanted their lane to be but at least it was interesting!!

I was actually a fan of this album. Certainly not one of the best albums for the 60s but it was a fun listen.

Something on Spotify described this as “Baroque pop” and that’s actually quite accurate. This is a very mid 60s British sound with the Baroque twist.

Not exactly sure what I just listened to... it was weird. I didn't hate it, but didn't love it.

Da Capo means da top-o. Not really my thing but it wasn't terrible.

J'ai trouvé ça correct, mais j'avais un peu l'impression de tourner en rond. Ça ne m'a pas vraiment interpellée.

Because it was so short, I gave this a second listen. My first opinion was I want whatever the lead singer is on, the lyrics are all over the place. I enjoyed the music overall, although I don't think I'd listen to this again after a second time.

Barn síns tíma, en jú, ágætis stöff á köflum.

From most to less liked: 1. She comes in colors 2. Orange Skies 3. Revelation (Some parts are "meh" tho) 4. ¡Que Vida! 5. The Castle 6. Stephanie Knows Who - LP / Stereo Version 6. Seven and Seven Is

Favs: -She comes in colors

I quite enjoyed this but wouldn't return to it

You don't have to listen to this for more than a few seconds to easily identify this is 1960s California.  (if the band's name didn't already get you there). It has some pretty good instrumentals including guitar and harmonicas.

I "loved" the Forever Changes album (that 1001 sent us) so I was disappointed after the jarring vocals on the first track and then again on "Seven and Seven", which is might make them a candidate for being a pre-punk band. The rest of the songs, outside of the needlelessly long "Revelation", sound better to my ears and are moving in the direction of that elegantly produced psychedelic meets baroque pop sound that they nailed a year later.

Listens: 2 Enjoyed: I didn't hate it Most of the album just seems messy. The last track is the highlight

Well, this is kinda a mess, but also not completely without charm! Psychedelia, but occasional dips into heaviness. I can almost, but not quite, stretch to a 4. 3.5, if that were a thing.... Fave track - "¡Que Vida!" has quite a fruity melody that threatens to become an earworm...

Good band, bad songs.

An interesting first side with some exotic colour added via flute and harpsichord but it's let down by the indulgent jam taking up the whole of side two. A wasted opportunity.

Hippy nonsense

I like Love's sounds they are a lot more raw than other acts of the time and their big hits are fantastic. Nothing in this album particularly moved me though. I can only assume Forever Changes is somewhere else in the list of greatest albums? And the one with Just Be Thankful For What You Got on it?

Another solid album fits right in with what I expected of Love

A couple of good singles. This should have been an EP. Best track: Seven and Seven Is

well, it's certainly a choice to have six short songs on the first side, then the second side have one nineteen minute song. arthur lee and jethro tull have something in common. this was an interesting album. i could hear similarities with other artists from the mid-sixties. "relevation" sounded like the rolling stones crafted it. "stephanie knows who" is a little too harsh for me, but the harpsichord presence is of its time. "she comes in colors" could have been a beatles track. a big treat for me with this album was "7 and 7 is." as a huge alice cooper fan, i recognized the song immediately from his special forces album (a deep cut). i do enjoy comparing covers in my spare time, too.

Very first song reminded me a little of the Doors. Thought this was an interesting album. A mixture of "kind of" punk and psychedelic to a little rock. I can't say I loved, but I did enjoy listening. Favorite song was Revelation. A good 3 for me

3 For a 60s band named "Love", this album went pretty hard. Musically it was a little all over the place - it bounced pretty abruptly from psychedelia to surf rock to finally an 18-minute blues closer. The punk in me really enjoyed Seven and Seven Is, and I see how it could have influenced punk in the years ahead (The Ramones even covered it at one point). Other than that, nothing in particular seemed to jump out, and I don't really think the closing track was quite interesting enough to justify its length. Favorite songs: Stephanie Knows Who, Seven and Seven Is

Beetje moeilijk te plaatsen soms, maar uiteindelijk toch een dikke voldoende voor Love; Boeiend en op een fijne manier ouderwets klinkend!

Dit kon ik wel waarderen. Heel sisters, maar wel tof.

Onbekende plaat voor mij, maar vond het wel tof eigenlijk. Ik hou wel van die beetje psychedelische 60's sound.

Ik ken een ander plaatje van hen en ik geloof dat ik dat net leuker vind. Desalniettemin: fris en fruitig.

3.5 to be fair, I hadn't listened to this one before. A couple of good songs but not my favorite.

It was aight.

It grooves and it swings and the first few cuts have a slightly exotic feel, but then vibes its way into a sorta generic ‘60s energy. Glad to know it (if only for the epic “Revelation”) but one won’t be playing it at one's funeral.

ikkje lika fra som forever changes

OK, wasn't a fan at the start but middle of the album really grew on me. Harmonica let it down a bit. but glad I listened.

Strangely pleasant - i was surprised as dont really like the 60s style as a general rule

Decent album. The Rolling Stones song “She’s a Rainbow” sounds a lot like “She Comes in Colors.” This predates the Stones’ song.

Very summery and psychedelic, and very very dated. Daft lyrics, clichéd music, but fun and enjoyable in spite of that.

Best wel lekker, helemaal niet verkeerd en catchy

Before Forever Changes, the band Love were rocking out pretty well. For the time, this is pretty good, but I can't say the 19 minute long Revelation was worth the length. Favorites: "Stephanie Knows Who", "Orange Skies", "Seven and Seven Is"

It was good, the last track was a bit out there and long, but the first 6 tracks were great.

Well forever changes is like a boarderline classic but this I don’t know what to expect… The album opens with Stephanie knows who a rather fast paced rocker ( well for love) with some sorta off key sounding instrumentation. Other than the screaming nothing matches to forever changes though. Following is the rater mellow orange skies the song is closer to what they would make forever changes it’s a nice slow song with drugged up lyrics and amazing flute work in particular. !Que vida¡ again goes in this direction I love the guitars in this one still not matching those. Seven and seven is, is what I would say is love’s heaviest song amazing drums and amazing bass work not what I expected from this band. Love goes full on folk at the start of the castle being a bumbling Simon and Garfunkel like song at the start but slowly loses all of this with the second half being a unique spiralling instrumental piece. Ending the first side of the album is she comes in colours, it’s no red telephone, but it’s still a nice rock song with off lyrics and great flute work ( which seems abandoned in forever changes). Side two of the album is only one song revelation a nearly 19 minute long thing it starts off as a pretty formulaic rocker then is filled with so many other layers at points completely warping the song as a whole, vocal work is good slightly echoey and doesn’t fill up the song all too much for a song of this length. The bit where it’s like he’s having sex is rather awkward for the listener. But eh I really don’t like it but it’s unique. It’s half proto forever changes and half a mess not dreadful or forgettable though.

Decent disco but nothing special for me

Of moderate interest musically, but lyrically pretty silly. “Stephanie Knows” is overstuffed and not representative of what’s to come, most immediately, the dreamy “Orange Skies.” “She Comes in Colors” is a Stones rip-off, no? The most interesting song, the epic, slow-jam closer “Revelation” suggests the darkness of the ‘70s to come, with some guitaring that sounds like Neil Young was sitting in and a soprano sax (or clarinet) solo for the ages. Those bits are way better than the extended vocal improv bit in the middle of the 20 minutes, and the strange transition ending – drum solo into harpsichord nod-off.

Jamais entendu parlé C'est pas mauvais. Le chanteur et le bassiste sont faux et le drummer est loin d'être clean mais sinon il y a de belle trouvailles. Clavecins, beats en 5/4 à la take five, sax pas gossant Étonnamment heavy par bout, c'est quasiment punk avant l'heure (seven and seven is) Sur spoty il y a les versions mono et stereo J'aime de plus en plus le mono, pour le jazz c'est magique et pour le early stereo c'est franchement mieux que des hards pannings waks de contraintes technique et non de choix artistiques. Tellement hippie d'appeler ton band Love😄

C’est pas mauvais. La face A est la plus intéressante. Le jam de la face B est trop long même si certains moments sont intéressants. C’est varié et différent de ce qui se faisait à l’époque. Je ne crois pas que j’y reviendrais d’emblée, mais je ne skipperais pas dans une playlist.

Pretty good rock/pychadelic that I haven't heard of, but not going to make my rotation.

this was a fun listen, nothing that really stood out to me though

Kolejne stare nowosci z hameryki, tym razem Da Capo od bandy Love, nazwa znajoma, bo wczesniej juz slyszalem ich Forever Changes, album z podobnego okresu, bo capo wydany byl w 66, a changesy w 67, sklad na obu plytach jest taki sam, wiec jakiejs rewolucji w brzmieniu nie bylo, ale nie zmienia to faktu, ze oba albumy znaczaco sie roznia i wyjasnilo sie czemu changesowy jest o wiele popularniejszym wydaniem, pierwsza sprawa jest jakosc remastera do stereo jednej i drugiej plyty, da capo wypada tutaj fatalnie, ale jednak na spotifaju jest on dostepny zarowno w wersji mono jak i stereo, wiec nie ma tutaj problemu z wyborem dobrej jedynej drogi, kolejna sprawa jest sama struktura plyty, 35 minut grania podzielone na 7 utworow z czego pierwsza strona brzmi podobnie jak changesy z swoimi psychodelicznie popowymi utworami tak popularnymi w latach 60, ale druga strona to cos calkowicie innego, potezny 19 minutowy utwor pod tytulem revelation, ktory byl prawdziwym objawieniem tego albumu, ktory bez niego bylby wybrakowany i raczej szybko zapomniany, a tak na tym 19 minutowym jamujacym kawalku slychac w dluzych ilosciach, to co juz bylo modelowane na wczesniejszych utworach, ale podane w takich ilosciach i z taka energia, ze banda brzmi zupelnie jak inny zespol, malo wokalu, a wiecej instrumentali, jesli jakies wokale sie pojawiaja sa to raczej dzikie wrzaski, ktore tylko hajpuja instrumentale niz jakies liryczne spiewy, bo lirycznie raczej nigdy wysoko nie stawialem pana Arthura Lee, a ten album tylko mnie w tym przekonaniu utwierdzil, wiec banda przypomniana i cos nowego sie uslyszalo dodatkowo, perelka ktora zapamietam z tego odsluchu bedzie utwor b sajda, ktory leci na plejke

Powoli przestaję pisać recenzje, bo w każdej z nich jestem zmuszony pisać dokładnie to samo i tu nie będzie inaczej. Średniawa.

Not as good as forever changes. Some nice pop psychedelic stuff and the 20 minutes song on the second half was fun, but lacking in great song writing.

I enjoyed having this album on in the background while doing busywork because it just kept me moving. So interesting that the final song was so expansive! I feel like you never really see that these days, so props for a unique album format.

Pros: - Very cool sound! It's my first time actively hearing this band. They are very dynamic and the overall sound does a lot of things right. - Even though it's 1966, the production is really crisp. - It's a dynamic album while also existing inside of a defined sound. Track 1 is a "tough" psychedelic rock song with a harpsichord shred part. Track 2 is a gushy ballad, Track 3 is another sweetheart track, and then Track 4 is a "The Who" type rabble-rousing shout-off. That's a lot of moving around. Cons: - Some tracks' lyrics are not exactly bad but a little uninspired. - I'm assuming it's a victim of the time period, but man I can't comfortably listen to hard-panned instruments and layers for very long. Track 3, "Que Vida", has the FULL drumset 100% in the left ear, and guitars in the right ear. I'm personally a big believer in symmetry in production and while panning is a great condiment to add to your flavors, you can't have things sound balanced with 70% mustard in your right ear and 30% ketchup in the left ear. Don't put condiments in your ears. Misc: - Interesting that the total length of the album is 36 minutes 9 seconds, and the final track is over half of that, coming in at 18 minutes and 58 seconds. This track is mostly a jam though, as the vocals leave around the 3 minute mark and only come back briefly before leaving again.

They're alright.

"Seven and Seven is" and "She Comes in Colors" are very good tracks and made me into a fan.

not immediately grabbing me

Look, their next one is MUCH better.

Pompy pomposity. Quite fun actually.

Meh.

Never heard this album before, but it was pretty decent. Not as good as "Forever Changes", but still good. I love this album cover, by the way.

Some good songs on this one, but as a whole it didn't grab me and pull me in like I thought it would. A fine document of some late 60's psych-pop-rock and it gets kind of jammy to conclude the record. Nice touch.

Great 60’s album.

With all the legendary bands from this era, it’s hard for an album like this to stand out. It was really disorganized and the track Revelation really gets annoying. I respect the musicianship and use of the harpsichord however.

Typical 60s with some psychodelic pop edge. Not bad but in the end the album is just going to be one of hundreds that are not bad but listening to them once is enough

Hectic then mellow, then hectic, then cool, but always mono.

Very 1966

Very interesting.

This is the second album from Love that was recommended to me by 1,001 albums generator. I almost forgot about the previous album. On "Da Capo" I can still hear a notably late-60s characteristic to the music with prominant psychodelic sounds. This album seems to venture into progressive rock a little more that the last record I listened to. For example, "Revelation", which was the track I enjoyed the most, is 18 minutes long and takes up the entire B side of the album. The progressive sound is not just a matter of length. The shorter tracks on the album also experiment with progressive rock layers and transitions. My enjoyment of the music was periodically interrupted by some of the delivery of the lyrics, and sometimes the content of the lyrics. I'm not a big fan of songs whose themes revolve around "ooo, baby" or "hey, mama". I have a soft spot for the occasional odd lyrics, but after hearing "Oop-ip-ip, oop-ip-ip, yeah" a couple of times I was feeling a little confused about whether I liked "7 and 7 is" or not. For the moment, I'll say that I like the track. After a first listen, this album is 3 stars, but there might be room to grow with a re-listen.

Rock suave de los 60-70's. No lo conocía. Fácil y agradable de escuchar. Grandes partes instrumentales

De muziek komt wat rommelig over. Verder wel aardig voor op de achtergrond. Zang voelt soms wat onzuiver. Andere liedjes zijn weer verrassend goed. Favorieten zijn "Que Vida!" en "She Comes In Colors" ***

J'avais attribué la note de quatre à ces hurluberlus la dernière fois, j'étais donc particulièrement curieux de voir ce qu'ils nous avaient préparé cette fois-ci. L'album commence de manière assez banale. Les pistes s'enchaînent à une vitesse très curieuse. C'est une fois arrivé à la dernière piste que l'on comprend dans quel piège on vient de tomber. 18:57 minutes. C'est la durée de celle-ci. Une éternité pendant laquelle le chanteur et les musiciens font absolument n'importe quoi.

J'étais très content de relancer ce groupe que j'avais particulièrement apprécié sur leur autre album présent sur le générateur. Malheureusement c'est un fiasco total, qui atteint son paroxysme lorsque le groupe tente tout simplement d'imiter Led Zeppelin, dans une performance absolument désastreuse. J'ai à ce sujet contacté Robert, qui m'a mis en relation avec le chanteur du groupe Led Zeppelin. Ce dernier m'a déclaré que Love n'était, je cite "qu'un groupe de sac à merdes". Les mots sont lourds mais nécessaires.

Better than the last 60's rock group that we just saw. I figured we would have heard all the rock groups by now with the amount of unknown bands we are getting but there's always more. Creepy man in the middle, looks like a morlock or the giant from Equinox.

As if to test my statement about getting bored with '60s psych rock, the list claps back. This one is much more lively and interesting than the Blue Cheer album though. Lots of cool instruments at play; a bit folksy in spots. It closes with a super long jam song, which was actually one of my favorites. I like this one though, good stuff. Favorite tracks: Orange Skies, She Comes in Colors, Revelation. Album art: Framing is a bit goofy, but I like this one overall. The band photo is menacing, reminds me of Night Gallery. With enough makeup and blue paint, the guy in the middle could have acted as one of the Morlocks in the Time Machine. I want to befriend these bruisers. 3.5/5

Un disc de contrastos. Els temes més melòdics, 'She Comes in Colors', 'The Castle', 'Orange Skies'... són del millro que va composar mai la banda, la resta està a un nivell alt també, tot i que mai he estat fan del single '7 and 7 Is'... Lastra el tema de 18 minuts de la cara B, una amalgama de sons precursor del rock progressiu que es podrien haver estalviat

Like his voice First track wild It's good Many styles Like it

в стиле битлов и 60 о любви, простенько со вкусом немного джаза

Kinda middle of the road, not anything I'd listen to again but not bad. 3.5

Took me a few tracks to settle into this guys voice. 7 and 7 is cool. Kind of sounds like a Jim Morrison impression. I like this genre.

Nice melodies and musicianship with solid recording quality for it’s time. Nothing overly compelling beyond the last song though to keep my interest. Some protopunk and folk vibes. Revelation, Orange Skies.

She Comes In Colors is amazing. The rest is nothing special but still enjoyable.

The rythm can be great and sometimes really anoying. I have mixed feelings with this album even if the energy and intentions are always there.

sort of a punky kind of Doorsy kind of thing? Very hard to describe. That doesn't mean it's bad... but doesn't necessarily mean it's good. There were a few good songs on here, but also a few stinkers. And it's tough when there's only 9 songs on the album and one of them is almost 20 minutes long.

Overall, an ok album. Not minding some of the harpsichord trilling and flute arrangements. A very folksy album epitomised by the 19 min jam session Revelation, with its spoken word lyrics, guitar, harmonica, and drum solos it's what one would expect. When it got to the sax solo, started to hurt my ears. :/ Best: 7 and 7 Is; She Comes in Colours Worst: "¡Que Vida!"

Some indulgent bits but I liked the bits that inspired those jingle jangle Glasgow bands many years later.

3.3 - Confusing. Vocally, It sounds like an album better suited for Jim Morrison. Unlike on “Forever Changes”, here Lee’s voice sounds strained and guttural. Lyrically, it’s stereotypically psychedelic. I like the jazz exploration on “Revelation” though it’s 19 minutes of a 36 minute album. And is that Chewbacca grunting in the middle of the track??? “She Comes in Colors” is pretty. I love the incorporation of the jazz flute.

3/5 - Meh. Not my style.

Don't know the album. Hear one other by Love on this "Albums to listen to before you die" series. I do like the sound of this one. "7 and 7 is" is a nice pre-pre-punk sound. I can see why other punk bands have recorded it. Not bad. Revelation almost gives me a "Doors"/"Jim Morrison" feel. Interesting because this came out before anyone ever heard of the Doors. Stand outs: Orange Skies, Que Vida! The Castle, She Comes in Colors. This is a 3/5 for me. Which is a "good rating" for an album I hear for the first time. I can see this one growing on me and just getting stronger. I smell a 4/5 in its future.

This was interesting. Side one had some nice moments, but overall I didn't love it. Side two was more interesting to me, with shades of the Doors, Iron Butterfly, and even the Byrds. Overall I'm glad I listened to it, definitely an early example of the experimental sixties, but probably wouldn't listen again. 3 stars.

Pretty progressive for the 60s. Pleasant but not really my thing.

There are some interesting songs here, but it didn't feel like a cohesive work to me. There is some lovely guitar work and the little baroque touches were fun. I didn't find Lee's vocals particularly compelling, which seemed flat against some of those more flowery arrangements. He does best on "Seven and Seven Is" and “Revelation,” which interestingly are less sing-y than they are talky/shouty. I thought I would hate “Revelation,” but it’s not bad. They lose me a little when the squonky sax comes in, but it’s a pretty solid jam if you’re into that sort of thing. Fave Songs: The Castle, 7 and 7 Is

I enjoyed the theatrics and good use of the flute, clavi, etc. Last song was a turn off though

Fun album, nothing particularly caught my attention enough to rate it any higher than a 3 though.

Busy and ambitious.

3.3 Nog wel leuke schijfkes soms. Leuke energie ook.

que vida tof

Strong album, songs felt lively and the instrumental was also fun till the last song where it kinda got into wankery

1. The weird one instrument per ear stereo is much better than the unmastered mono. 2. The sound is kinda sweet. It makes me smile. 3. Revelation is entertaining background music. I like this music a lot, but at the same time I kind of prefer Jazz Music like Gerry Mulligan. I like this album tho, solid fun. It's the little nuances that make it. Very fun. So why only 3? Because I feel as supposedly significant and fun this is, I couldn't read into the lyrics and I don't see this growing on me. 3+/5

mellow dramatic, repetitive, but nice sound

Psychedelic.

it's quite good! lol idk can learn "the castle"

beatles vibes from this album. best song: emotions

theatrical cute

Side 1 is a mess. Side 2's sprawling 19 minute jam 'Revelation' is worth the admission but skip the rest. 'Forever Changes' it isn't

Hätte ich davon schon hören müssen? Ich fand es nicht schlecht - kann Musik „gewollt psychedelisch“ klingen oder haben da einfach die Drogen nicht bis ganz zum Ziel getragen?

Better than I expected. Some great tracks.

Disco rock con toques psicodélico, algo clásico de los 60 (excepto por el último single, que es innecesariamente largo). Nota: 3.5

Surprisingly OK

It was an OK album, nothing too exceptional. Nice listen as background music.

haha theres a modern rapper with that name but idk about the 1966 version? this would be more fun if i were stoned. Solid 3 stars so far though, i dont hate it.

Never heard of these guys. Good fun. LOVEd that epic last track

This is exactly the kind of music my parents used to listen to when I was growing up, so had a weirdly nostalgic feel to it despite being from years before my time. I enjoyed it, and did chuckle at every song being 2-3 minutes apart from the 18 minute finale.

Shrooms innit

6

alright album but weird and in a good way. i enjoyed listening to it but not quite as much as others similar

5/10. Pretty forgettable I guess, because I already don't remember it.

Not bad, sort of a rocky jazzy bluesy thing with a pretty varied sound. The last song was half the album which was weird and it went on for awhile but in general it was a pretty relaxed album.

I don't understand why this is considered psychedelic rock, because normally I'm not a fan of psychedelic songs and I liked it very much....probably I don't know what is real psychedelic rock. :-) In short, A good album with very pleasable songs and the last one "real" experimental or psychedelic but still cool! Worth it!

Bacana amigo, mas um pouco coisa loca demais

Some interesting stuff but it has the same production hiccups as many albums from around this time. Also, I hate the harpsichord and the last song was highly unnecessary (my left ear really experienced that drum solo). 6

muy beatles

La derniere chanson a suave l’album car je l’ai repartit et j’etais beaucoup plus dans le ood pour les 1eres tounes. J’aurais mit 3 ou moins sinon mais cela change pour un 3.5

Rock rarito

Semibängeri Helt jees psykadelisk rock. Passligt långa biisin

It's alright but it doesn't quite hold up compared to other 60's psych such as the 13th floor elevators. This is more of a basic rock feel.

A real 1960's record. Funny.

Unsure what to make of this one - absolute rippers ('Seven and Seven Is') among cheesy ballads ('Orange Skies') and extended jam tracks ('Revelation'). I don't know if this stands as an album per se, but the parts themselves are interesting and unique enough to warrant further listening.

Not bad!

false

They really went there with that last track huh

Psych rock goes on vacation in a resort with your aunt that smells like cold cigarettes. 3/5

Its fine. I prefer the selt titled and Forever Changes though.

Meh. I can't find anything to say about this.

4/10

Somewhat of a bad album. There's some great ideas in here (the harpsichord grants it a uniquely pleasant Baroque feel otherwise absent from rock of its era) but unfortunately Love don't seem to capitalize on it. Some of that is the lead singer trying to do a Mock Jagger/Doors thing that he can't quite pull off, and it lacks a certain pollnecessary polish. What it ends up with is an album full of potential that it fails to execute, and so it comes out in this muddy-sounding generic rock production that does it very little favours. Fav tracks: Stephanie Knows Who, Revelation

After the insane intro I was expecting more. But this is an album that I find to be directionless, and pointless even 60 years after its release. I know that probably makes me a monster but this ain't for me brotherrrrrr

Forgettable

60s rock generally isn't for me, and this album has done nothing to change my mind

The less interesting of the love albums from the 60s. Slow and plodding at times and barely any melodies

Not bad but not my jam

Some of these albums are starting to blur together...

So I'm rapidly realising that the hippy movement made some really naff music. This one has highs and lows but I'll never listen to it again

Another Love album. Ok. It's good, interesting in places. Side 1 has its moments, but an 18 min jam on side 2 is interminable and baffling. 2.5 rounded down 2 Heard before? No Owned: No, 105/408 (25%) Will I get: No

I had problems accessing this album because I blocked Love on Spotify. This wasn’t Love’s fault of course, it was Spotify suggesting a Love song or two after every fucking album, playlist, audiobook or ambient white noise listening session. The algorithm was just so pesty and relentless in sharing its Love hard-on that I’m actually quite angry typing this even now. The album’s not that bad, but I’m upset.

Da Capo by Love legitimately gave me a headache, but I can see why others appreciate it.

I'd like to give it 3, but that last song took me out.

193. Da Capo - Love (1966) 9.3.26 Variety: 2 Adequacy: 2 Listenability: 2 Uniqueness: 2 Emotionality: 1 = 1.8 rounded up to a 2 "Through a crack of light, I was unable to find my way/ Trapped inside a night, but I'm a day and I go/ Boom-bip-bip, boom-bip-bip, yeah" I begin this morning a little bit surprised, as for some reason I had always thought Love was a UK band. I heard Forever Changes a log time ago, but really only remember "Alone Again Or" and then mainly because of the Damned cover, but more on that later. This is one I can same with some measure of confidence that I have never listened to before. It's pretty early I think in the whole psychedelic movement I think, coming in just after the Byrds, the Beatles, Donovan, but before Hendrix, Pink Floyd, or Jefferson Airplane. So definitely a 1st wave act. Psychedelic stuff is pretty hit or miss for me depending on how hippy dippy they get, and whether or not it leans towards proto-metal or warmed over folk-pop. Generally though, the weirder the better. Let's see where this lands. THE TRACKS Side one "Stephanie Knows Who" - I was not a fan of Lee's yowling vocals on this track, but this was at least an interesting, jazzy mess of a take on the psych rock garage thing. Not an amazing start, but at least there's plenty of energy and enough moving pieces to keep my attention. "Orange Skies" - A completely different vibe on this one, that lands squarely in that hippy dippy flowers and peace territory I feared we were going to get. I honestly don't mind the instrumentation, even the flute. Lee's vocals swing back in the polar opposite direction here, and become a milquetoast drag, full of sickly, syrupy sentiment that feels almost like a parody of the sort of thing that this was likely a prime example of. "¡Que Vida!" - More of the same, but with a slightly more interesting Latin flavor. Lee's vocals on this are even further removed from the vigor of that first track, and had all the energy of someone reading a greeting card. This felt like the sort of thing that belongs on the Sonny and Cher hour. Flower Power pop that won't scandalize the grannies. Solid instrumentation again though, and the vocal melody goes in an unexpected downward note. Weird ending with the morbid subject matter and sleigh bells... "7 and 7 Is" - Lee and company are back in ROCK mode, and sound like an entirely different band. This is much more successful and engaging, and seems like a decent enough take on the Who's established drum-forward flavor of garage rock. Lee's vocals are a bit easier to swallow here as well. A bit. The bit after the thunder effect where we drop very briefly into some bluesy R&B licks was the most interesting part though, and in almost immediately fades out from that. Lame. "The Castle" - Some not terrible, but horribly mixed folky acoustic guitar to start with, but then we gent a sloppy sounding thing that sounds like a first take on what they would finally get right with "Alone Again Or" on the next album. The clavichord playing over top of the western shuffle beat was ok though. But this felt rambling, unfocused, and half-finished. "She Comes in Colors" - Apologies to Arthur Lee, but that vocal delivery is just so weak. This was boring as well as gratingly repetitive. Go listen to "She's a Rainbow" by the Stones instead. Points for the great harpsichord playing though. Side two "Revelation" - Despite the baroque little intro, this one ended up being a more or less traditional blues jam. I quite preferred this mode, and Lee's voice finally found a middle ground that suited it very well. I could have listened to a whole album of just this stuff, and things would have went much better. It get's more psychedelic and experimental in the middle ( I can see Jim Morrison's ears perking up at this section), and jazzy towards the end. HIGHLIGHTS MIDLIGHTS - "Stephanie Knows Who" - "7 and 7 Is" - "Revelation" LOWLIGHTS - "Orange Skies" - "¡Que Vida!" - "The Castle" - "She Comes in Colors" FINAL THOUGHTS Despite not liking it much at all, I can see why it might have a place on the list. This whole sound is pretty synonymous with the era, and maybe Love was key in propagating it? My education in this era is not what it should be, but pretty sure I've heard them name dropped by a lot of other, more well known artists, so maybe this was fresh and new enough at the time to have influenced a ton of people. Or at the very least made them all sit up and take notice. Forever Changes is considered their one masterpiece though, so I think maybe we could have just done with that one? At least I can scratch this one off the list though. They can't all be winners, but I can't imagine this is anyone's favorite album. PLAYLIST ALTERATIONS - I'm ok never revisiting this one FURTHER LISTENING - The Psychedelic Sounds of the 13th Floor Elevators by 13th Floor Elevators - Forever Changes by Love - Odessey and Oracle by The Zombies - Walk Away Renée/Pretty Ballerina by The Left Banke - S.F. Sorrow by The Pretty Things

Didn't love this one- it was kind of all over the place with genres, and the lyrics were pretty nonsensical. Ever the "best song" still sounded like a knock off The Who. Overall- just okay

Standard 1960s stuff. Jaunty Edwardian ditties in the same vein as Paul McCartney or The Kinks, but with none of the unique flair that made them special. Each track sounds the same to me, with very little distinction between them, and there didn't need to be a whole 18 minute jam session outro. Fine but not my cup of tea. Next!

Woof, this was not good. It's like the band got really really high and decided to just record whatever. Lots of disjointed noise, short songs (save for the 19 minute closing behemoth, fuck), and little melodic cohesion. Not a good example of the psychedelic rock style. 2/5

Sterk verouderd en helemaal niet mijn stijl

Mostly tedious but I really enjoy how stroppy the harpsichord parts are.

It was fine, 18 minute song right at the end is a ridiculous decision

Is this a great representation of Psych music? - NO Is this an influential band? - NO Is this a bad album? - NO Is this is an album you should listen to before you die? - NO Here is the best thing about this album, it does not stick around too long.

2.5

Just okay. Nothing special.

The 60s were a wild time y'all. Enjoyed the last track. The rest, meh.

That was some crazy ‘60s shiznit.

Fine for what it is. Baroquial, bluesy, psychedelic infused pop tunes for the time. I think I haven't heard of this band because they're either an uncredited, obscure musical icon like Marc Bolan or their a boring unimaginative group riding the 60's wave and didn't push the envelop that much.

the last song being 19 minutes you cannot be serious. this is why i can’t deal with half of these rock bands (like zeppelin) these long songs drive me absolutely crazy.

Unremarkable album by a band I never heard anything about before.

Does not stick

I sought out to really give a thorough review of this album. I don't think I can because I don't feel compelled to. The only thing that really moved me was the harmonica solo on Revelation, and that is saying a lot. Even given that, the longer that song went on, the lower my rating became because it felt like the artist was actually trying to stick his dick in my ear for like ten minutes straight. It's probably the perfect album to play in an opium den with a free for all orgy in the background but when the high eventually wears off, all you're left with is sweat, regret and the smell of ass. That is the experience this album is presenting.

Favorite Song: ¡Que Vida! Least Favorite Song: Revelation Enjoyment: 3 Replayability : 1 Cohesion: 3 Flow / Pacing: 2 Artistic Merit: 7 Weighted Score: 3.1 Thoughts: + Use of various instruments was cool - 17 minute song about getting head from a minor

Waste of time Fave track: Seven and Seven Is

An uneven album that was worth a listen. Their garage rock songs hold up much better than their psychedelic, mid-tempo songs. The latter features Arthur Lee's voice too much and that's not a good thing.

Nothing special, just boring.

I thought it was interesting musically but I wasn't not a fan of the vocal stylings. This album was not for me

never understood the appeal

Meh

not my thing

hippie piola similar a cream

A pretty eclectic album that feels really of its time and very much not my jam.

Really strong start to the album, kind of dips off. I don’t hate it. Favorite tracks: Stephanie Knows Who & Orange Skies.

Most of the album has such a silly and whimsical sound to it. Seven and Seven Is felt like a jarring change of sound. Then the second half of the album is just Revelation, which in my opinion is the best track, it's a good one to just leave on.

Huh. I dunno. Weird

it was going til it wasnt

What the heck did I just listen to? It's like The Rolling Stones and The Doors dropped acid together and went to a Renaissance festival and made a love child, but this is its second cousin who can only be found on Temu. The only reason I might play it again would be to prank my friends.

Best leuk tot die vent begint te schreeuwen en ze van een gigantisch saaie jam sessie een nummer van 19 minuten maken

Holy shit een psychedelisch rock album uit de jaren 60 of 70, die hadden we nog niet. Saaie plaat. Alleen de 19 minuten durende jam aan het eind is wel cool.

It's b-team Doors.

Not quite as bad as I originally thought. The last track is very Doors like. Made me listen to the first part again.

This album was released the year I was born, but I’m not really that into it. It’s not terrible, so two stars...

It sounds like an endless Broadway psychedelic rock jam with bursts of angry vocals and jazzy sax. It feels like a drug trip. Not my taste.

I thought I might like it, but man that jam session really took the wind out the sails.

It's psychedelic rock, as in, you need to be on a huge dose of psychedelics to survive the final track. Boring.

тож не понравилось.

This seemed to have a musical theme.. and then like three tracks were in a completely different realm. Also the theme sucked.

Sixties mix of styles. Nothing great.

Not worth.

I don’t know, it’s a bit too precious for me. I appreciate the use of organ and flute, and there were some turns of melody I enjoyed. “She Comes In Colors” is the most successful as a straight-up 60s pop song. But there were also choices that struck me as corny, like the over-enunciation on some of the lead vocal performances or the forced idiosyncrasy of the album’s opening. I don’t think the 18-minute long blues-jazz odyssey on the second half did this any favors.

Da Crapo Too many pan pipes. Less pan pipes please. “She Comes in Colors” is a pretty sweet song though.

ok

got tired of this sorta fast

Mildly entertaining psychedelic folk. 2.5 stars

When people say they hate 60's music, this is what they mean.

This was ok, usually I’m into a 17+ minute jam but that was not great. The rest of the album was nothing special either, run of the mill 60s soft rock.

som mycket annan psykadelisk rock från den tiden.. bara .. musik.. helt forgettable

This is forgettable and blended into the background instantly.

Tää jätti kokonaisuutena vähän kylmäksi. Yksittäiset biisit oli hyviä ja on hurjaa, että tämmönen on tehty vuonna 1966, mut 20min bluesjamit, vähän epämääräset biisirakenteet ja löysähkö soitto pisti oottamaan levyn loppua.

Oisin halunnu pitää tästä enemmän, mut jäi jotenkin tosi kädenlämpöseks haahuiluks. Sekavaa ja vähän jotenkin ponnetonta monessa kohtaa ainakin ensikuulemalla.

ei yhtään lähtenyt tää sekoilu tänään, tuntui että ois kaivannut tähän väliin jotain ihan eri meininkiä kuin flower power rokkii, vaikka onhan tää kyllä hyvä levy - en ollut ennen kuunnellut!! oli siis ilahduttavan lyhyt ja kompakti paketti, ja myönnettäköön että meni vähän jalan allekin, esim. que vida :-)

I disliked nearly everything about this. Psychedelic rock is very low on my genres, and this probably moved it lower. Why harpsichords? I didn't listen to the lyrics very closely, but when I did, they were nonsensical. And an 18 minutes closing song on a 36 minute album offends me for some reason. I want to give it 1 star but it's just so bland that I don't even want to give it the distinction of being one of the few albums that evokes repulsion in me. It's more extreme annoyance.

5/10 Its fine
