17 mins damn. idk man, la blues is such a perfect and fucked up way to end the album. i think it's pretty damn poignant at just 5 mins. feels like a continuation of the title track. love how this album progressively gets jazzier

"it gets to a point where I need more so I jam it twice"
i mean that's one of the things I love most about it, you can just throw this on repeat and jam again.
Lost in the Future sax is sexy tho

yeah
took the liberty of adding two non-album singles that feature probably some of their most aggressive songs that would've most likely been included on the second Columbia LP along with stuff like Head On, Heavy Liquid, Open Up and Bleed, etc.

not to get off topic guys but I read the actual review for the first time, And this statement made me cringe
" The lineup this year feature some rather eccentric groups, such as the psychedelic Alice Cooper band, a bluesy folk rock group known as Traffic, as well as other undistinguished groups such as Bloodrock and Mott the Hoople."
besides for Bloodrock which is a great band with a pretty long career, but kind of unknown I guess, the other 3 are top shelf bands with long very distinguished careers.

Considering the segment is supposed to be set in that time frame where none of them were relevant, I fail to see the problem.

all those bands were relevant in 1970, well maybe not Mott yet, but within a year.

let's see
Alice Cooper as of June 1970: was still on the Straight label with no hits, middling critical reception. More than a year away from their breakthrough with "I'm Eighteen".
Mott the Hoople: again, what hits? Nothing charting in the U.S. and quite known that they were getting closer to breaking up than actually breaking through in America. Two years away from "Young Dudes"
Bloodrock: had only one album to their name and was more known in the south than in Ohio. A year away from their only top 40 hit, "DOA". Quite the irrelevant band now.
Traffic: as of 1970, the only exception with four top 100 albums in the U.S.; John Barleycorn would be a big hit when it came out the next month, reaching no. 5 on the charts.
It's not a stretch to say most of these groups were not well-known aside from Traffic, who were already successful in the U.S.

if hits were the test to see if a band was relevant I guess The Stooges would have never been

sure, but almost none of those other bands had successful albums at the time either

1970, ALice Cooper band- Easy action which is the start of them being great, were a national band at this point, them just being produced by Zappa for Pretties for You a year earlier makes them relevant
Mott the Hoople- was probably the most unknown band at this point,
traffic- put out a 5 album that year in John BArley corn, with several earlier albums being huge
Blood rock released BR2 that year which is good, a second tear band though,
TBH Stooges were pretty undistinguished as well, were less well know than Traffic and the ALice Cooper band in 1970

the stooges were largely unknown outside detroit and the new york bowery scene for a few years after they broke up even.. the asheton brothers, pop and williamson all talk about butting heads with the record companies in Please Kill Me.. no one wanted to even finance and put out raw power because no one was buying their records..

They were a cult band though a lot of the early punk musicians (Ramones Sex Pistols Crass The Fall etc) talked very highly about them. But, yeah, they did not actually become famous until their legacy started showing and (especially) Iggy became huge

The end of that song... Holy shit
Last 3 tracks are easily the best imo. I love how it gets progressively jazzier until the album collapses in on itself in a frenzy of jazz and shrieks. So fucking cool
