Moby Grape 1967 Album

Moby Grape

Moby Grape hit the ground running with this joyous ramble of a debut record that would have stood out in any era. "Omaha" is practically an aural blitz on the listener's senses. While nothing else reaches that intensity, it's generally a manic free-for-fall throughout reflecting the spirit of the times, but packed tightly within deftly constructed short songs. The record itself barely runs past 30 minutes; yet, the constant zany energy does wear a bit thin towards the end. Still, a landmark sort of document and probably deserved more attention than it got during its' day.
