A linchpin release in 1967, this album defined the genre known as acid-rock. Led by former folk musician Joe McDonald, the quintet combines engaging melodies with sharp, satirical lyrics encompassing different facets of the counterculture – drugs ("Bass Strings"), sex ("Porpoise Mouth") and politics ("Superbird") – while the group contributes exquisite, subtle support.
