Reviews (page 8 of 8)
The album primarily suffers from things that are present from the 60’s. For one, the songs feel oddly slow-paced, making them a slog to get through. They just drag on and on. The songs also are plagued by terrible, weird, and confusing mixing. The songs are just so annoying to listen to due to these issues. There is a semblance of a good rock album underneath the problems, but every song feels papery and without substance, mainly due to the horrible mixing. I would’ve rated it higher because it’s on the edge of being good. Alas, here we are.
This is just a lamer Piper at The Gates of Dawn. It might be sacrilege to compare the two, but this is just really lame compared to that album. The mix is pretty bad, and it's all around not for me. A lot of this is just annoying. Very disappointing.
No
Interesting art work on cover. Felt like I was listening to a Beatles 💿 Wonder what patents were infringed upon when putting this together
Bland, late sixties "concept" album in which a myriad of excuses seem to be made about why it didn't sell well. I'll tell you why it didn't sell - it's shit; it's boring; it's like being stuck in the corner of a party with some numpty who wants to tell you about the fucking awful quasi-philosophical novel they're writing as they've glanced at Pynchon and Foster-Wallace.

Couldn't finish it. Got half way, and it started to grate on my nerves. Might be among the first rock operas but I still didn't enjoy it. Didn't add, obviously.
As a long-time fan of what some categorize as "hippie music," I find it interesting that quite consistently I dislike this kind of music, which I understand is often labelled "psychedelic rock." Nothing wrong with it, and the musicians on this album are great, but I just never seem to enjoy this style of rock. It grates on me.
More perfectly adequate mush for the white man mill.
1.5
