"This shares the same problems with a lot of the other little known psych rock albums of the time; poor fidelity (which I usually accept as being due to a poor digital transfer from a non-master source), so-so musicianship, and timid, forgettable vocal melodies which are most often delivered by an..."

"Silly little thing. Entertaining for a listen or two because of the humor. Some interesting musical sections." Reply
