This may not have the legendary status of say "Sgt. Peppers" or "Are You Experienced" but man this is one influencial album by this power trio. This was recorded at Atlantic Studios in New York City and released in 1967 the same year as the other two albums i mentioned. This is an album that surprised me somewhat. Sure i was familiar with "Strange Brew", "Sunshine Of Your Love" and "Tales Of Brave Ulysses" and all three are fantastic tracks but it was songs like "World Of Pain", "Dance The Night Away" and "Swlabr" that help make this a strong and consistant record. The latter song i mentioned stands for "She walked like a bearded rainbow" and features some great interplay instrumentally, and it cooks. Of course "Sunshine Of Your Love" would become the biggest hit off of this album. Talk about some nasty guitar and it's surprisingly heavy. The album cover is memorable as well bringing to mind the psychedelic vibe of that era for sure. For me this is a strong 4 star album that i've bumped up to 4.5 stars for it's originality and influence. A must !
