In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida
Iron Butterfly

The title track is certainly worth the price of admission alone - pulsating, brooding and feels quite unlike anything else from the era. The rest of the album is so-so but has some enjoyable moments with a psychedelic hippy vibe and some decent tunes. The album feels like the crossroads from the sixties to the seventies - all that upbeat, hippy, Great Society positivity on Side A, followed by a darkness on Side B as Vietnam worsened and Nixon grew more popular with the American electorate.
