Not the most inspiring opening track but it’s OK. Doesn’t really start the album with a bang. In comparison to the much heavier later tracks this is more psych pop than psych rock / heavy rock
It does feature a very good guitar solo which I like. There’s also a Doorsian organ which is rather nice
One of the great tunes of all time. And, of course, never performed better that by the old lady in the Simpsons episode. _________________ When the stewardess is near do not show any fear.
A heavy (for its time) psych track but Like every other track on this album, this is overshadowed by the title track which is a pity as this is an OK track
I’ll be honest, I’m finding a lot of the album a little samey but nearly onto side two where the fun really begins
The title track aside, this is my favourite track on the album. Heavy psychedelic (for the time) Great riffs and general guitar playing, great drumming, and intense organ (a reoccurring theme throughout the album)
Certainly, one of the heaviest tracks on the album. Some critics have liked it to tracks by Atomic Rooster and I completely see that. Great track
Impossible to ignore title track. Without this track, the album would have been a footnote in history however, this track is just amazing.
It has its flaws of course. I’m not a fan of drum solo’s, maybe a 20 second one is OK but here we have 2 and a half minutes. Yawn! So, any track that’s over 17 minutes long will have but overall, it’s a phenomenal track.
Is it heavy metal? Not quite but there are elements of metal in here. Is it Psych? Most definitely. There’s also a big chunk of the blues in here.
A great jam of a track. To me it feels like the band are improvising the track as they go along each taking turns to impress. I’m sure that it’s not that way at all and that it was totally planned out but you get that feeling and that’s a good thing.
