Quicksilver Messenger Service's debut effort was a little more restrained and folky
than some listeners had expected, given their reputation for stretching out in concert.
While some prefer the mostly live Happy Trails,
this self-titled collection is inarguably their strongest set of studio material,
with the accent on melodic folk-rock.
Highlights include their cover of folksinger Hamilton Camp's "Pride of Man," probably their best studio track;
"Light Your Windows," probably the group's best original composition;
and founding member Dino Valenti's "Dino's Song" (Valenti himself was in jail when the album was recorded).
"Gold and Silver" is their best instrumental jam, and the 12-minute "The Fool"
reflects some of the best and worst traits of the psychedelic era...(AllMusic)
