Bloodrock 2 1970 Album

Bloodrock

Crazy that people say this is a lesser record because I think they really find their cheap thrills-inspired groove here, even though the sequencing is hard to follow. There are some wild mood swings on this record as well - it ranges the gamut from party rockers like "Children's Heritage" and "Lucky in the Morning" to mid-range darker stuff like "Dier Not a Lover" and "Fancy Space Odyssey" (which is a head trip by itself) to…well, "D.O.A." - a truly shocking and bizarre piece rarely heard on any album anywhere. It actually hit the Top 40 at the tail end of Vietnam. Taken together, this is the aural equivalent of an old horror B-movie, and a lot more interesting than people give it credit for.
