Content

The album has been compared to early Pink Floyd[2] and also to the work of the Velvet Underground and more recent space rock acts, such as Spacemen 3.

The UK version of the album features a different track selection and ordering, modified to include tracks from the Warlocks' previous self-titled EP. The album's experimental structure, opening on the US version with a fourteen-minute instrumental and featuring a number of rough jams, would surprise and divide critics, both being remarked on as a highlight, while also being panned as not translating well from live performance to the studio.
