This album is one of the masterpieces of Rock music. Spooky Two ranks with The Beatles "Revolver" and "Abbey Road" and The Rolling Stones "Exile On Main Street" as one of the best records ever made. All of the songs are powerful, however I feel that "Waitin' For the Wind", "I've Got Enough Heartaches", "Lost In My Dream", and "Better By You, Better Than Me" are the highlights. The voices of Gary Wright and Mike Harrison are splendid, either on their own or in tandum. On the song "Evil Woman" they combine to drive the song higher and higher to a shattering climax. Spooky Tooth, while it recorded several fair albums both before and after Spooky Two, were never again able to reach the perfection of that record. Buy it for yourself and your friends who love great music.

their greatest album. fans of procul harum, traffic , early led zeppelin, etc. will enjoy this. not a bad track on the record. a dark and disturbing downer album . sheer power on every level: songwriting, playing( particularly guitarist luther grosvenor on tracks like "evil woman" and "better by you, better than me". the organ is also tastefully used on the recording.), and the incredible lead vocals of gary wright and the eternally underrated stellar singing of mike harrison , one of the finest english vocalists of that, or any time. couldn't recommend it any more than to say its an excellent addition to one's collection. hard to say what the best cut is, most would say either of the two i've mentioned. other than that , i've always loved the gospel styled " i've got enough heartaches" and the opening track "waitin for the wind", but like i say there isn't a bad number on spooky two. the record mixes hard rock, blues, soul, gospel, and even a little bit of eerie quasi- psychedelia for lack of a better term very well. it's easy to see why luminaries like george harrison and the move were fans of this fine band who never received the fame they deserved.

"Spooky Two" is a classic late sixties early seventies heavy metal album. The band Spooky Tooth sound a lot like early Deep Purple, though their music tends a bit more toward the psychedelic. The shared lead vocals by Gary Wright and Mike Harrison will remind you a little of Robert Plant. There are a lot of good instrumental jams through out the album and the production is first rate. "Feelin' Bad," "Evil Woman" and "That Was Only Yesterday," are probably the best tracks, though its hard to choose given the album's heavy consistency. "Evil Woman" is a classic of guitar and keyboard fury. A great soundtrack for any retro heavy metal party.
