SURREALISTIC PILLOW

The two most famous songs from this album - Somebody to Love and White Rabbit - are in a way the least representative, bearing as they do the wonderful vocals of Grace Slick. The other songs on the album are somewhat less interesting; many don't feature Slick's vocals, and even those that do can't quite match the restless energy of Somebody to Love or the mounting tension of White Rabbit. Which isn't to say they're bad, but they just don't stand out when placed next to other similar folk-psych acts of their era. Three stars, though White Rabbit and Somebody to Love are without a doubt 4-star tracks.
