Rated 5/5
Review by wyvern909 Mar 28, 2008
This is not the average Grateful Dead album (that's why many GD fans don't favor it), it stands out from the rest but I think it stands on its own firmly.
The A side of the record is like the other GD records on Arista - with a more studio-like sound and a bit of disco, but the B side is what this record is really about; something that the band never did before, didn't repeat and completely breaks away from the band's usual sound. It is a lucky amalgamation of mellow sixties-pop like riffs that get into the listener's head easily and brilliant orchestral instrumentation - being a quite original piece, in a way that it could be interesting for electronic-oriented ears too.
