I think David Axelrod is hip. I really do. But this late 60's effort, while you might find it engaging on a poetical and on an "awareness" level, is rather out of focus on a compositional one, especially if compared to the William Blake-themed ones he did before.
Definitely for collection purposes.

This review is from: Earth Rot (Audio CD)

David Axelrod's first two albums Song of Innocence and Songs of Experience fused rock, classical, jazz, and psychedelia to create music rich in color, dynamics, and darn goodiness. With Earth Rot, Axelrod switches up his M.O. and creates a concept CD about the environment with lyrics based on the Book of Isiah in the Bible. For all of his good intentions with this project, Earth Rot fails to be anything more than good haunted house music.
