I had meant to leave a review earlier but other more pressing issues came up, so I had to put it off until now. When I think of 60's psych, The Strawberry Alarm Clock are one of the first bands that come to my mind and the title track 'Incense and Peppermints' is one of the songs that I think of right away. While there are other 60's psych bands and albums I listen to more often and perhaps enjoy a bit more, this album would probably make my personal top 50 albums of the genre. Solid musicianship and production throughout with a variety within the songs to keep the album interesting to the end. The music sounds firmly rooted in 1967 and even the album cover looks very much from the 'summer of love' with everything included except a sitar. Very dated but musically, lyrically and vocally an enjoyable listen nonetheless.
I give it a 7/10 overall.
