Reviews
-
Fabulous pressing, for me this and Heaven Up Here are EatB at their peak, two slices of 80s psych at its absolute best. -
My preferred pressing of this one. Edges out my Japanese copy with better mastering EQ. Don't waste money on Sire pressings, especially given what people are asking for them now. They're weak sounding and not worth the money. -
Solid contender for the best psychedelic album of the '80s, and one of the best psych albums of all time. -
Edited 7 years agoA rather big disappointment following the promising "Heaven Up Here" album. I think the main problem is that many of the tracks are drawn out too long, they don't contain enough ideas to justify their length.
