1. "C.Q." was to be the THE OUTSIDERS last album (their 3rd LP), an attempt to reach the group’s original core audience amidst a troubling no-commercial potential downfall. Yay! 
2. Not only is this of the best “international” psych albums -ever, it’s as good as anything by early- Pink Floyd, psychedelic '68 era Pretty Things or Love (though to include Love's "Forever Changes" would be bit of a stretch.)  
3. However, its closest reference point is probably the Pretty Things superb "S.F. Sorrow" – there are no soft, wimpy moments on either side, just pure intensity with psych-garage-punk muscle. 
   
4. "C.Q." is what the Rolling Stones’ Their Satanic Majesties Request should have sounded like.
   "C.Q.’s" strength is in it’s consistency and diversity. No two songs sound alike yet every experiment is well thought out and entirely successful. The group’s hallmark start-stop 60's punk rhythms are firmly in place on many of C.Q.‘s tracks. By 1968 the Outsiders had grown considerably, incorporating folk-psych & acid injected sounds into their works. 
5. Acid-infused highlights such as the very European sounding “Zsarrahh” (supposedly a nod to Wally Tax’s Russian roots), the brief “Bear,” an avant-garde folk-rock cut titled “Prison Song” and “C.Q.” heralded a new, more experimental underground additive. Other cuts such as the sensitive “You’re Everything On Earth,” a bluesy, spaced-out cut titled “It Seems Like Nothings Gonna Come My Way Today,” and “I Love You No. 2” are infectious gems that show off Wally Tax’s soft, expressive side. That being said, it’s the harder cuts that warrants immediate attention. 
6. “Misfit,” “Doctor,” “The Man On The Dune,”  “Happyville,” and “Wish You Were Here With Me Today” are masterful acid-rock punkers. “Doctor,” being one of the group’s best tracks on the LP, featuring distorted vocals + an explosive fuzz guitar freakout.  “The Man On The Dune,” another classic and personal favorite, is a blistering psych-punker with jagged guitar fuzz and a strange, unsettling conclusion.  
7. It goes without saying that   The  OUTSIDERS  "C.Q." is one of the best-ever immortal albums created in the late 60's
