That having been said, I think that this album is kick ass, and it makes me very eager to explore more 60s underground acid rock.

You're comparing S. F. Sorrow to albums that it predated and turning around and calling it unoriginal? It was the Beatles and the Stones who were heavily influenced by the Pretty Things, not the other way around (Jagger and Richards were in the band at one point). I won't pretend Phil May revolutionized music but I'm pretty damn sure he at least brought something new into the picture. S. F. Sorrow was certainly a more worthwhile accomplishment than loads of ripoffs that came after it (including the epically overrated sh
itpile Tommy).
