I've heard this lots of times before, so it's hard to answer some of the questions.

What were your impressions of this album after the first five minutes?
I think I liked it - "Alone Again Or" is obviously really great.

Did those first impressions change as you listened to the album?
I don't think so.

Were the opening 2-3 tracks or the closing 2-3 tracks stronger?
Probably opening, although while the first two songs are really good, the third is less so.

Did you find you enjoyed this album more or less on repeated listens?
More - I started to appreciate more than just the first two songs.

What was your favourite track?
Yeah, still probably "Alone Again Or".

What was your least favourite track?
I never really liked "Andmoreagain".

What did you think of the variety of tracks presented?
Eh, not that varied. Which is fine.

How would you describe the overall mood?
Somewhere between freaked-out and laid-back.

Would you listen to it again for purposes other than this club?
I have, many times.

How well do you know this band/artist?
Not that well. I've heard the album before this a couple times, but nothing else.

If you're familiar with this band/artist, how does this album compare to their other work?
I normally try to be contrarian, but it's their best.

How would you improve this album?
Not sure.

Would you recommend this album to a friend?
I would. Not because I love it, but because I think it's one of the few most essential '60s psych albums.

Will you be exploring this band/artists' other material?
If so, not because of this club.

What did you think of the vocals?
Pretty good.

What did you think of the instrumentation?
Well-arranged for the most part, and always at least competently played.

What did you think of the production?
Pretty good.

Rate the album out of ten. No decimals!
