    The psychedelic
    Animals turning it on ...
  5. ........................................................................

  6. LOVE IS stands as the absolute best of Eric Burdon as a vocalist and the music is so creative that it just bursts from your speakers as if alive, the band is very tight and very loose at the same time and the overall effect is totally mesmerizing. Just think about the phenomenal acid laced stretched out tunes, especially "River deep-Mountain high", or maybe you like experiments a lot and then you have "The Madman" and "Gemini", but the track that will really blow your mind is the blues "As The Years Go Passing By" with its moody beginning as an almost "normal blues" close to the version by Albert King, then Eric launches an incredible battle between a bluesy guitar and a very distorted guitar (one of the two is future Police Andy Summers!) that reaches an impressive climax only to be replaced by the out-of-this-world vocal return by Eric, who delivers one the most powerful blues vocal ever by a white man and then slowly fades away intoning "till the day I die" until it becomes inaudible and you feel like he's really dying. Listen to this record without preconceptions and you'll surely find many delights within (the trippy Coloured Rain, fuzzed-up I'm An Animal, lysergic visions Am I Dying (Or Am I), etc. etc... one of the best Animals albums with psychedelic laced trips embedded all over the place
