The bassplayer from Cream had classical background,a stylist on bass, but a multiinstrumentalist as well. His albumdebut on his own beat all the Cream music by miles, setting a new standard touching jazz, blues, ballads and rock within his horizon. I love all the tracks, but the standout is his masterpiece "Theme from an imaginary Western". Melodic, wellstructured and with a fluidity of many instruments working in a synergistic soundscape. RIP Mr. Bruce! You were a genious! "  [+]  Reply

The previous three had all been a great successes - both commercially and artistically, and there were obviously high expectations for "Monster". The album was clearly the most political group released, especially obvious on the long title track, which in an edited version also released as a single. Unfortunately, the group seemed musically to be running out of ideas, although the title track, however, shows some of the grandeur that characterized the previous albums. The rest of the album is mediocre and somewhat repetitions of what the group had previously created. Of course there are good elements, like the intro to "Power Play". This song was in fact a couple years old already when they chose to record it. "From Here to There Eventually" also has glimpses of the melodic that group was known for, but the number remains somehow unresolved. The sound it is the "old" Steppenwolf, and in that respect the album does live up to expectations - unfortunately the songwriting does not."  [+]  Reply

Those things are partly true for this album. But, it also has some stronger tracks that lend it merit. In particular, the final track, “At A Point Between Fate And Destiny”, has this smoldering, folky-yet-proto-proggy groove that I really, really enjoyed. In fact, that track will be seeing me again. Who knows, maybe some of the other tracks will catch me. “Trials Of A City” almost did. Overall, I think I’d like this album more if it were the 70s and this was one of the 33 albums I owned on vinyl. It’s not that lucky. But, if you’re a fan of the genre...well, you probably have a better ear for it, anyways. "  [+]  Reply

Compared to his previous albums this is probably the most versatile, partly due to the fact that it was recorded during several sessions, featuring different musicians. The three hit singles "Atlantis"; "To Susan on the West Coast" and "Barabajagal" are good examples of the album's great variety. "Atlantis" is a fine folky tune with an ecstatic ending ending much like the Beatles' "Hey Jude". "To Susan on the West Coast" is an acoustic anti-war song and "Barabajagal" is an almost riff-based rocker with solid backing by Jeff Beck Group. Among the tracks I like "Happines Runs" and "Superlungs My Supergirl", but the rest are mostly sub-par tracks. The original album had a very short playing time, a little more than thirty minutes. Fortunately a lot of relevant bonus-tracks have been added to the album. Interesting to hear "Stromberg Twins", another track with backing from Jeff Beck and his band; and song that ought have been included originally. But the strongest material are found among the last seven tracks, which are just demos; but all sounding great. "Marjorie" and "Palais Girl" are really great songs that finally get a deserved release. The booklet contains the final chapter of the Mickie Most Years ( part 4, Nov. 68 to Dec. 1969 ), which is great read; and although the album is not quite up to the standards of its predecessors, it's still quite a fine album. https://www.angelfire.com/nv/Badfinger/BANDdonovan.html"  [+]  Reply

"This has to be one of the most underrated album on the 60's. I mean, it's really good. My favorite tracks include, but are not limited to: Friends of Mine When You Touch Me We're Coming To Dine"  Reply
