5.0 out of 5 stars The best work of Eric Burdon & the Animals, May 19, 2004

Until you've heard it, you will never know. This was Eric Burdon's answer to the Beatles Sgt Peppers LHCB. This is a master work that will never be repeated in any form or function, contained herein, the greatest compilation of music from the 60's I've ever heard. "In the beginning... Well, you should know by now." We love you, Eric.

preceded by the kickoff album "Winds Of Change". As with that release, it's best to listen beyond the hit single. In this case, there are two: "Monterey" and the full version of "Sky Pilot". Once you do that, there's "Just the Thought", a meditative number characterized by a Gregorian-style repetition (cathedral reverb and all) of each phrase Burdon sings by the backup singers. The song "No Self Pity" is almost Confucian in its philosophical nature; the choruses ending each verse consist of comparisons like "no matter how strong you are, there is always somebody stronger. And no matter how..." etc., four of them per chorus, no repeats. "We Love You Lil" is a "Hey Jude" style instrumental jam built on the WW II classic "Lili Marlene". As I mention in my "Winds Of Change" review, the blues is by its very nature introspective, but this underrated cycle of albums takes that a step beyond.
