Psychedelia Album Club I - "Incense and Peppermints" - The Strawberry Alarm Clock

I'm being tortured by The Batlord with Limp Bizkit atm, but will try to get a listen to it in the next day or so.

BTW you can put my choice spot up for grabs too, as I know nothing about this music and could not hope to recommend anything. I'll learn from you guys.

I've always preferred Wake Up... It's Tomorrow to this one, but it's a classic no doubt. The first track is a stellar acid rock jam, and it's my favorite on the album by a long shot. Strawberry Alarm Clock, especially with the title track of this album, are a good soundtrack for the stereotype that we envision the late 60's counterculture hippie era to be like. Maybe more thoughts later, but it's a 7/10 from me. A lot of bands from the same time were releasing what I'd consider much stronger albums. This one is more poppy and junk, not that that's bad or anything.

I'm ready to go whenever the rest of you are.

Same here.

By the way, I've posted the full picking order on the original thread. Mondo, you're up next.

I've been meaning to listen to this band for a bit, good excuse to finally do so. Almost done with my first listen.

**Frownland** · 10-18-2014, 07:46 PM

I have. I'll post my review soon.

Pet_Sounds · 10-18-2014, 07:49 PM

So Josef, Briks, Mondo, Psy-Fi, sidewinder, Frownland, and I have all heard the album. Not bad, considering it's been just over 48 hours.

I love this album so much. If I had been alive in the 1960s, my basis for who I'd bang would rest solely on whether or not the person in question dug the Strawberry Alarm Clock.

You interested in joining the club, LiL?

Maybe. I just don't have a lot of time on my hands on a regular basis these days.
