Original released on LP RCA Victor LSP 4058
(US, September 1968)
In the past, I've expected great things from Airplane, one of the biggest American groups, but their albums have been a mixture of good and bad material. At last, they take off in this new album. Abandoning the pretentious abstract music of thei last effort, the Airplane have gone back to the style of a year ago and sound all the better for it. The album opens with "Lather", a weird, slightly menacing sound, full of atmosphere, reminiscent of "White Rabbit", a single released about a year ago which should have been bought by the million but wasn't. Once again Grace Slick, the beautiful lead singer and writer, puts everything into this song. Each track is full of interest. This in one of those rare albums where every song comes off. The rest of the group back Grace's singing perfectly and it is a pleasure to listen to them: yhey really know how to play and complement each other so well.
