Silver Apples

1968? that's crazy
Being such a forward thinking album for its time, and arguably the first of its kind, there is bound to be some flaws. A lot of these songs tend to sound the same, with the same sound pallet, tone and general speed. With how barebones some songs can be, when done right, it is an amazing psychedelic experience, with spacious bleeps and bloops, awesome drums and breathy, haunting vocals. When not done right, it is underwhelming and thin. A majority of these songs do not seem like songs at all, but rather to prove people can create sounds like this in the first place. While not inherently a bad thing, it seems songwriting took a backseat while sound creation took the forefront. In other words, it has an amazing soundscape, but its held back by subpar songwriting and structure. Might come back for a few songs.
