Our Take

Long John Silver?? More like Long John Boring! Jefferson Airplane's latest offering feels like a relic from a bygone era, and not in a good way. The Summer Of 69 might have been a time of revolution and change, but this album just feels stale and uninspired.

The band's signature psychedelic rock sound is present, but it lacks the energy and excitement that made their earlier work so captivating. Songs like "Eat Starch Mom" and "Silver Spoon" feel like filler material, with forgettable melodies and lacklustre performances.

The album's saving grace is the standout track "Twilight Double Leader", a rare moment of brilliance in an otherwise lacklustre collection. With its infectious guitar riffs and catchy chorus, it's a reminder of the band's potential that is sadly not realised on the rest of the album.

Overall, Long John Silver is a disappointing effort from a band that once pushed boundaries and broke new ground. While there are moments of brilliance, they are few and far between, leaving listeners craving the bold experimentation that made Jefferson Airplane a household name. Stick to their classics and give this one a miss.

About the artist

Jefferson Airplane

Ah, Jefferson Airplane. The band that epitomized the psychedelic sound of the 1960s with their mind-bending melodies and trippy lyrics. Hailing from San Francisco, this group of musical visionaries broke boundaries with their innovative sound and rebellious attitude. Led by the charismatic Grace Slick, Jefferson Airplane became synonymous with the countercultural movement of the era, pushing the boundaries of rock music and challenging societal norms. With iconic tracks like "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love", they captured the spirit of a generation searching for meaning and freedom. Their eclectic blend of folk, rock, and psychedelic influences set them apart from their peers, earning them a reputation as one of the most influential bands of the era. Their experimental approach to music and willingness to push the boundaries of conventional songwriting made them a force to be reckoned with. But it wasn't all sunshine and daisies for Jefferson Airplane. The band faced their fair share of internal conflicts and struggles, with tensions running high among band members. Yet, it was their creative differences and clashes that often fueled their most powerful and emotionally charged performances. Even today, Jefferson Airplane's music continues to hold a special place in the hearts of music lovers around the world. Their legacy lives on through their groundbreaking sound and fearless spirit, a reminder of a time when music was more than just entertainment – it was a revolution. So sit back, tune in, and let Jefferson Airplane take you on a journey through the psychedelic wonderland of the 1960s.
