Abrasive.

But in a good way. This album is so heavy, you have to ask for help to lift it. The guitar work is monstrously overwhelming, you brain will need a moment to catch on. If that wasn't enough, they layer a frantic, distorted and relentless violin on top of a pushy rhythm section. Hot Damn, now that's intense.

That's the heaviest album of the 60's (or even the 70's thinking about it) I've ever heard, no contest. Apart from the tempestuous music, the vocals are quite nice, reminding me a young Jim Morrison. And that art cover! Holy Smokes Dr. Jones! Hands down one of the best, fitting perfectly with what's inside: a swimming gaggle of goblins looking to highjack a sailship, causing havoc and panic.

Go to Spotify, listen at high volume and then watch the older neighbors call the police.
