After Bathing At Baxter's 1967 Album

Jefferson Airplane

A distant, distorted echo of the previous album, when you really get down to it. However, there's a few songs there are simply awful – for example, the lead off "Ballad of You & Me & Pooneil" is a terrible screeching mess, and the Grace Slick spots this time around are plain befuddling ("Rejoyce" and "Two Heads"). Honestly, it's not until the last track (Kantner's pleasantly hazy "Won't You Try/Saturday Afternoon") that the record really clicked for me. Generally, there's a more experimental vibe in play here, even though in practice – stop me if you've heard this before – it's not seriously different than earlier Airplane albums. It's just more weird – and worse – than the first two.
