Reviews

pHarmanaut Feb 21, 2022
Solid contender for the best psychedelic album of the '80s, and one of the best psych albums of all time.

A 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.

My copy came with a poster of the band
