• Groovy popsike nuggets, mostly written by Gary Wright, a mixture of Rock, Blues and Prog with Psychedelic influences, performed with a dense heavy sound dominated by Wright's organ, Luther Grosvenor frazzled fantastic guitar licks and rhythm section being second to none with Ridley's heavy, virtuosic bass pulsations and Kellie's spectacular pyrotechnic drumming. 
• 
  
• Together with Mike Harrison's incredible wide-range vocals,  combined forces of everything from Robert Plant, via Rod Stewart to (Family) Roger Chapman, the band had the ability to outshine any if its contemporaries, and they certainly did a fantastic job on this, their first album -- which is an incredible blast of energy and ingenuity, turning it into an instant classic. 
• 
  
• Although the band was still searching for its own unique approach, the variety of styles works well here and adds to the album's appeal. Spooky Tooth has a tone similar to Traffic's first album with its psychedelic take on influential popsike music of the '60s. 
• Standout tracks like "Society's Child" and "Tobacco Road" are included, but original songs like the mod-psych pop-craft in "It Hurts You So" and "Bubbles" (think: Beatles Rubber Soul era sensibility) are real standouts. The cheery, psychedelic "It's All About a Roundabout" is the catchiest number by far. 
• On this dreamy cut, vocal/keyboardist Gary Wright demonstrates some sharp melodic and compositional instincts. Although Spooky Tooth eventually became better-known for their thudding blues-rock, the trippy side of this first album counts as a career highlight for the group. Fans of late-'60s British rock are definitely advised to check out this impressive release...
