Had exams this week and didn't have a chance to get to this until today.
What were your impressions of this album after the first five minutes?
Solid late '60s Americn psych.
Did those first impressions change as you listened to the album?
Not at all.
Were the opening 2-3 tracks or the closing 2-3 tracks stronger?
Hmmm… It's close but probably the closers.
Did you find you enjoyed this album more or less on repeated listens?
About the same really.
What was your favourite track?
"Day Tripper/We Can Work It Out". The way they wove in "Norwegian Wood" and "Eleanor Rigby" was cool.
What was your least favourite track?
None really. They were all brilliant.
What did you think of the variety of tracks presented?
Lots of it. It ranged from garage rock to almost baroque pop at times.
How would you describe the overall mood?
Fairly upbeat.
Would you listen to it again for purposes other than this club?
I certainly will.
How well do you know this band/artist?
Never heard of them.
If you're familiar with this band/artist, how does this album compare to their other work?
How would you improve this album?
See vocals question.
Would you recommend this album to a friend?
Absolutely.
Will you be exploring this band/artists' other material?
Most certainly.
What did you think of the vocals?
This was my only complaint. The singer's had a rough edge at times, and I felt it would have sounded much better with a smooth sound.
What did you think of the instrumentation?
Nice variety, especially with the horns.
What did you think of the production?
Didn't notice it or lack of it, which usually means good.
Any other thoughts to share?
I loved this. Nice pick, Moss.
Rate the album out of ten. No decimals!
9/10.
