4.2 + Though it doesn't quite jell as a record, there are enough incredible tracks to make this an amazing listen. I tend to skip to the best bits; namely, the first couple of tracks that provide psychedelic framing, the poppy "Crosstown Traffic" and the strangely melancholy "Burning of the Midnight Lamp." The second half also punches hard with "1983...", maybe the finest example of a psychedelic freakout that builds a post-apocalyptic underwater sci-fi world through studio effects, impressionistic drumming and Hendrix's wash of guitar color.
