The ultimate also-ran psychedelic band, The Glass Family opened for a who's who of 60's bands in a where's where of California hotspots. Without being unduly uncharitable, you can see why they never quite made it - their debut's solid, but squarely second-tier, equal parts British wistfulness, Doorsey meltdowns, and organ-drenched garage-rock stomp. It's all perfectly good, but all a little familiar, a half-step slow, it's moments landing halfway there, nothing really rising above the rest of the generation.
Fans of the era will enjoy this overlooked album, but it's nowhere anyone should start 3.5/5
