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

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

I heard it for the first time a few months ago and pretty much loved it. Don't remember my exact reaction, but the first song's my favourite.

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

Closers are more consistent.

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

Love it more every time I hear it.

What was your favourite track?

"Alone Again Or".

What was your least favourite track?

None really stand out as bad, but "Live and Let Live" didn't do as much for me as the others.

What did you think of the variety of tracks presented?

There's not a lot, but the music's good enough that there really doesn't need to be.

How would you describe the overall mood?

Ranges from relaxed and folky to wild and weird.

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

Already have.

How well do you know this band/artist?

I've heard their entire discography.

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

This is their best.

How would you improve this album?

I wouldn't.

Would you recommend this album to a friend?

I actually have. They didn't like it.

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

Already have.

What did you think of the vocals?

Normal '60s psych, nothing unusual.

What did you think of the instrumentation?

Apparently, the band began recording with members of The Wrecking Crew. I'm not sure how much of the album they played on, but it's certainly up to their standards. Especially love the flute.

What did you think of the production?

It was good--not over or under done, like some albums from that era.

Any other thoughts to share?

I've heard this a dozen times or more, but it's still nice to come back to.

Rate the album out of ten. No decimals!

9/10
