Negative Positive
Title: The Great Lost Psychedelic album of the Sixties !
Review: Beatlesque harmonies, Rolling Stones grittiness, Kinks humbleness, Hendrix guitars, and early Pink Floyd schizophrenia, and, what's more, lots of things that would follow on: listen to the flute rhythms in 'Private Sorrow' and tell me this doesn't sound like vintage Jethro Tull; listen to the aethereal chantings in 'Trust' and tell me Peter Gabriel didn't rip this off for a section in 'Supper's Ready'; listen to 'Balloon Is Burning' and tell me this doesn't predict the chaotic jams of Yes;listen to the 'love love love' chants on 'Bracelets Of Fingers' and tell me this doesn't render Freddie Mercury superfluous. It provides you with everything that, for instance, Syd Barrett could never provide you with. The Pretty Things weren't the only band to go psychedelic after the Beatles showed the way, but they were the only band that were able to expand the theme of 'Tomorrow Never Knows' over the length of an entire album and get away with it'. 'Nuff said.
Is the review positive or negative?
