Negative Positive
Title: So-so
Review: There are some great moments here - "Dupree's Diamond Blues" and maybe "China Cat Sunflower". They prefigure the direct songwriting and playing of the band's next 2 studio albums. The rest of this varies from decent (if unexceptional) to bad ("What's Become of the Baby" really does not work at all).The production approach here is largely experimental and playful. Less so that "Anthem of the Sun", but enough that the music doesn't always put its best face forward. A flawed record with a couple of gems on it.
Is the review positive or negative?
