But why does Sea Shanties deserve it’s place amongst the big classics of the time? Well simply because of the pure power with which the record is delivered. It takes psych to whole new levels, and this without having an overly gritty sound to it. The album opens up the “Fulalist’s Lament”, and from this moment the record pounds you with mind boggling guitar riffs and licks coupled with enchanting keyboards and violin. The riffs seem to penetrate your skull and spread through your brain like some infectious disease you are powerless and unwilling to fight. The second track, “Death Warmed Up” is a nine minute plus instrumental that will just take you to another dimension with it’s heavy repetitive melodies that keep coming at your soul like a buzzing chainsaw. This is followed up by “Pushed, but Not Forgotten”, a song that starts so chilled but then sways back and forth between aggression and harmony. “Missing Out” is just ground-breaking for the time. It’s got a pure Black Sabbath feel to it, although it pre-dates Sabbath’s first adventure by a year. What’s the best way to describe, Sea Shanties? Just imagine a psyched up version of Black Sabbath, covered in awesome guitar licks, with Jim Morrison belting out the lyrics and finally add to all this a fine element of folk. Sea Shanties is a record any psychedelic lover should hear at least once in their lives. 
Sea Shanties  is probably the hardest and heaviest album released in the 1960s (Yeah it's even heavier than Wheels of Fire, In A Gadda Da Vida, or Vincebus Eruptum) it is just amazingly heavy, and as close as music got to being Heavy Metal in the 60s. The real defining factor of what makes Sea Shanties so great is the constant battle for supremacy between the electric guitar of Tony Hill and the electric violin of Simon House. It is literally war, and there isn't hardly a moment's quiet on Sea Shanties because of it. And that is a very good thing. If You have never heard the track "Futilist's Lament" then please do, it's truly amazing. one of the greatest Hard Rock, Proto-Metal, or Heavy Psych 60`s albums. Fabulous proto-heavy metal sounding psych/hard rock, featuring great, driving guitar and electric violin. Some very heavy metal here.
