A psychedelic record wrapped in psychedelia, reaching as deeply into the idea of being psychedelic as an album can. That kind of record. After an intro that leaves no mystery as the the album's preferences on the state of your mind, its a swirl of songs that sweep and wash, and after its over you won't remember a single melodic moment, not a single line of lyric, just a memory of sensuality and Jesus and a lot of sitar and such.
The sound is rich and the conceptual commitment is admirable, there's something unconvincing about the music. On reflection it seems like a record about psychedelia, showing all the things it can do, without really doing any of them well, inspired by the greats of the 60's but not altogether inspired 2.5/5
