What were your impressions of this album after the first five minutes?

Pleasant sounding folk/psych.

Did those first impressions change as you listened to the album?

No.

Were the opening 2-3 tracks or the closing 2-3 tracks stronger?

No preference either way.

Did you find you enjoyed this album more or less on repeated listens?

No change either way.

What was your favourite track?

"My Name Is Death" I especially enjoyed the lyrics in that one more than any of the others.

What was your least favourite track?

"Way Back in the 1960's" seemed like it was tacked onto the end of the album just to fill up the album side.

What did you think of the variety of tracks presented?

Not much variety. I thought the tracks were consistent throughout the album.

How would you describe the overall mood?

Trippy folk music.

Would you listen to it again for purposes other than this club?

Perhaps.

How well do you know this band/artist?

Have heard their other albums, also.

If you're familiar with this band/artist, how does this album compare to their other work?

Not my favorite work of theirs, but not my least liked work of theirs.

How would you improve this album?

I thought the vocals were a bit weak, so maybe another vocalist could have improved that aspect of the album.

Would you recommend this album to a friend?

If they like folk/psych, but first I would probably recommend others from the genre.

Will you be exploring this band/artists' other material?

Already heard it.

What did you think of the vocals?

Probably the weakest part of the album.

What did you think of the instrumentation?

Well played.

What did you think of the production?

Well produced.

Any other thoughts to share?

The music seems a bit too self-indulgent to appeal to a wider audience.

Rate the album out of ten. No decimals!

6/10
