THIRD

On this album Soft Machine closes their Canterbury Scene shop, never to look back.

Facelift opens the album with avant- sounds, this goes on for to long in my opinion on a first listen. Knowing what comes after I think makes it worthwhile so I'm fine with it. Anyways, when the music begins its solid instrumental playing that keeps a high octane energy till the song is done. Bold opener.

Slightly All The Time is my least favourite song on here as it has this very average sound to it. I've always thought of this song as a last minute addition because they needed another side.

Moon In June is ridiculously good. The singing is on point, the organ/bass solos are awesome, just a really impressive example of a suit and the reason this album can be considered as Canterbury Scene.

Track four reminds me of track one, it's fine but like track two strikes me as unnecessary.

Overall this album is too long and too jazzy for my tastes. Thus, while one track is an easy 5/5 the other equally long songs bring the album down as a whole. Finally, I think this album would be much much MUCH better as a regular two side album of Facelift/Moon In June.
