Crown Of Creation 1968 Album

Jefferson Airplane

Hailed as a rebound from the vaguely confused dreck of the previous record, I have to wonder if the bar wasn't set that high in the first place. This record revels in hippie excesses just as much as the Baxter's record did (if not more), it's just that the songs are a bit more focused and not as blindly experimental. But nothing really stands out, either. A big, fun, blustery, but ultimately insubstantial effort.
