Amon Düül II Dark Horse Poll

Your impressions are pretty similar to mine. What I think is that Peter Leopold is sorely missed, he had died three years before they recorded this (so long ago already - I had to check because I had thought he died later, but I knew he wasn't on that album anymore), and he was very good, maybe the underrated spine of the band. Much of the drumming on Düülirium is quite static (Fichelscher had been better in the past but not the standard of Leopold) and for me that's the biggest problem with the album. And I agree, Lothar Meid was also not at his best in some parts, although he has some good ones. He died in 2015... not sure, maybe he was already plagued by health issues, no idea. Anyway, as I wrote in my review, I'm happy that we have that album, for all its flaws it's still something unique and really Düül.
