another Dead fan, awesome. i was beginning to think people around here hated them for an actual reason.

i'm not sure if i agree with your assessment of it, i'd rather appreciate a piece of music sober than fall into an overtly cliched and arguably unintelligent group of Deadheads egging people on "dude you gotta be high to listen to this." partly the reason why i balked at the chance to see the remaining members live last October.

that being said Aoxomoxoa is a great record, especially considering the Dead's humble beginnings as a psychedelic jam band coming out of the Haight/Ashbury scene. it isn't my favorite Dead album (but neither is American Beauty so ha), but it's certainly an awesome annal showcasing their progressive abilities and intensely spiritual grasp of music.
