Floating Opera - same (1971, US, psychrock, Embryo vinyl rip, single flac + cue, splitter, DR12, artwork)

The first two songs here are absolutely killer, making the rest of the album pretty disappointing by comparison. “Song of The Suicides” is a pained masterpiece with a stunning guitar solo and a melodic sound that feels like Zerfas. “The Vision” is a hot powerful rocker with some relentless organ playing by Carol Lees (many reviews of this album mistakenly claim that she’s a singer.

Apparently some people review the album by just looking at the cover and not by listening to it, as all of the album’s vocalists are male.) The other songs are lesser variations on these two styles, without all that much inspiration, though the playing is strong throughout. Contains a song called “Age of Onan,” for those of you who collect odes to masturbation. (Acid Arhives)

Knew more or less what it was gonna sound like based on that painfully earnest cover. Poppy/soulful contemporary (for then, obviously) rock with some psychedelic touches and once-in-a-while fuzz guitar. And it really isn't bad in spots, but it is in others. Highlights are the opener and the closer.
