3 out of 5 stars Blue Cheer Burnt Out.......2005-03-12

I stumbled upon Blue Cheer looking up Jimi Hendrix. I downloaded a few songs and was so impressed by what i heard, i bought Vincebus and Outsideinside. It was hard to find much in stores though, but i found this album in a record store and bought it without knowing anything about it. I was dumbfounded when i put it on and didn't recognize the voice on all but the last two songs. I guess Dickie Peterson's voice couldn't take him singing the way he did for all those years. The idea of a mellow Blue Cheer album sounds like a great idea... but what i was listening to wasn't Blue Cheer. The shock and frustration calmed, however, when i flipped to side B and actually started to like what i heard. "OH! Pleasant Hope" and "Ecological Blues" and the two Dickie actually sings on are great (so is "I'm the Light" but i get tired of it sometimes). As for side A... maybe one of these days, but for now it's all about side B.

5 out of 5 stars A true nugget from Blue Cheer in 1971.......2005-01-12

The overall feel off this LP is much more laid back and interesting then all of the previous releases. Gone is the garage rock sound, replaced with pleasent tones reflecting folk, country, and rock textures. I am one of the few early underground FM dj's currently operating on KDHX-FM 88.1 St. Louis -Time Warp Radio Thursdays 4am-6am CST (streaming at KDHX.ORG). This is a CD that I can play most all of the cuts off of. Great job AKARMA
