I've changed my mind. It's stifling it.

This does have the feel of a demo with guide vocals for a rejected song off Scott 1.

You know, if you give this album a bad mark then you are an official r*cist.

It is over.
That was a pleasant album but, also, an unfulfilling one which seemed to lack musical and emotional substance at vital points.
Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it.

Wow!
I knew that I'd never really engaged with that album beyond "Alone Again Or" for a reasonand that I was racist but it...
It...
It just failed on so many fronts and in so many ways.
Melodically, structurally...
The lyrics were perhaps political, but any kind of potential message was swamped with verbiage and garbiage.
Beyond AAO and the Bo Diddley bit on Bummer in the Summer (mostly notable for its title), I can't recall a single riff or hook or catchy chorus.
Anyway, I know that AL did better stuff than this later on.
Even if it was as a disillusioned, washed out and jaded rocker.

I also feel bad because I know that Lee was my good friend Sean's idol and the reason that he too became a black man wearing dirty denim and singing rock 'n roll.
I hope I see him (in the street) again soon so we can discuss this album over a suitably socially distanced pint.
No excuse for him supporting Man City though.

I gave it ★★★ despite enjoying less than that score suggests.
My thinking is:
1) AAO is really great.
2) Arthur Lee really is a pioneer and a great.
3) Perhaps I missed something.
