I bought this album entirely for the cover aesthetic, and seeing the coloured vinyl I was well chuffed about my purchase. It's really a lovely package.

Now, I may be spoiled in terms of music, but I've played this several times and... nothing sticks or stands out. It's an entirely unremarkable album, but fortunately also quite inoffensive and well within my usual genre habits. It's not bad in any regard, just... mid everything?

So I guess this is That Album in my collection that I can put on without a second thought, not really pay attention, and someday it may click.

Anybody else have similar albums in the shelf?

I really like the colors on that vinyl, but I haven't even the most basic idea about the genre.

Me neither, tbh. From the cover design, band name and album title, I guessed it would be in the psych rock department. Sure enough, it's published on Heavy Psych records that balances psychedelic, stoner rock and doom ~~metal~~ rock.

I sort of feel all three genres have become one indiscernible mass by now, just vaguely meaning "’70s style, somehow". This record certainly exemplifies that.

Ok, so in that genre, you might like Burn Ritual or Devil Electric
