i'd heard so much hype about this album over the years and then last year i managed to find this one at a secondhand vinyl store so i
snapped it up thinking i was holding gold in my hands.....
but what a disappointment it turned out to be....
as much as i like the Moody's i just cannot get "into" this album at all, i guess its one of those 'had to be there' moments, after all i was still a
baby when this was released, infact, i turned one the day this was released in the UK....
its just too much of a mish-mash for me as the tracks tend to blend/meld into one, not knowing where they start or finish...
too much psychadelia,early prog sounds and overall too much of a muchness in the tracks for it to hold my attention fully over two sides of music...
i totally see where these guys were coming from, its just not the same place i come from or wish to go to unfortunately.
the cover art is exceptional IMO as is the album title, but sadly, this is one of those albums i couldnt care less if i heard again or not!
