About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Though a bit over-the-top, this album was still powerful and surprisingly melodic, and managed to be quite bluesy and soulful even as the band overhauled chestnuts by James Brown and Screamin' Jay Hawkins. "Spontaneous Apple Creation" is a willfully histrionic, atonal song that gives Captain Beefheart a run for his money. Though this one-shot was not (and perhaps could not ever be) repeated, it remains an exhilaratingly reckless slice of psychedelia. The CD reissue includes both mono and stereo versions of five of the songs. Although the mono mixes lack the full-bodied power of the stereo ones, they're marked by some interesting differences, especially in the brief spoken and instrumental links between tracks.

Essential horror rockby JohnQ

April 27, 2009: This album is a precursor to the rock operas, to glam rock, to horror rock, and to countless imitators. This is essential Rock and Roll, even if you only play it on Halloween. It does have Arthur's one mega-hit "Fire".
