The second album by Jefferson Airplane, Surrealistic Pillow was a
groundbreaking piece of folk-rock-based psychedelia, and it hit like
a shot heard round the world; where the later efforts from bands like
the Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service, and especially,
the Charlatans, were initially not too much more than cult successes,
Surrealistic Pillow rode the pop charts for most of 1967, soaring into
that rarefied Top Five region occupied by the likes of the Beatles,
the Rolling Stones, and so on, to which few American rock acts apart
from the Byrds had been able to lay claim since 1964. And decades later
the album still comes off as strong as any of those artists' best work.
From the Top Ten single "Somebody to Love"
to the sublime "Embryonic Journey," the sensibilities are fierce, the
material manages to be both melodic and complex (and it rocks, too),
and the performances, sparked by new member Grace Slick on most
of the lead vocals, are inspired, helped along by Jerry Garcia
(serving as spiritual and musical advisor and sometimes guitarist).
Every song is a perfectly cut diamond, too perfect in the eyes of the bandmembers,
who felt that following the direction of producer Rick Jarrard and working
within three- and four-minute running times, and delivering carefully
sung accompaniments and succinct solos, resulted in a record
that didn't represent their real sound...(AllMusic)
