This review is from: Aoxomoxoa (Expanded) (Audio CD)

I already owned all of the cd's from the Dead's folk rock era, so I decided to get one from their psychedelic early era. So I browsed around an found one of theirs called Aoxomoxoa(!). When I put it in my stereo, St. Stephen was the first to come out and I love it right away. St. Stephen, Dupree's Diamond Blues, Doin' that Rag and Cosmic Charlie are timeless classics. The controversial song, What's Become of the Baby, in which Jerry sings with the wierd voice thing for over 8 minutes is O.K. Get it, it's a psychedelic classic!!

This review is from: Aoxomoxoa (Expanded) (Audio CD)

though "blues for allah" is probably the most accurate studio representation of what the dead truly were and are, "aoxomoxoa" is still my favorite dead record. it was recorded right when the band was making the natural transistion from bluesy psychedelic music and into a more folkish country sound. you can really hear the two musical realms butt heads. even the simple folk songs like "rosemary" and "mountains of the moon" have a real ambient psychedelic mood to them. however, "what's become of the baby" is definitely the oddest track on the album and is almost too spooky to listen to. dead naysayers who claim that the band wasn't dark and were only into singing about good times have obviously never heard this track. the album also includes the future concert staples "china cat sunflower" and "st. stephen," but a really good track that the band all but abondanded not too long after the record's release is "doin' that rag." it's got a lot of great effects and time changes and really sounds like the musical equivalent to going insane. this record really captures a great transistional period in the band's history and will grow on you immensely after repeated listenings. the remastered version also has some great studio jams, including the only studio recording of the phenomenal live favorite "the eleven." one more great reason to buy this thing immediately

This review is from: Aoxomoxoa (Expanded) (Audio CD)

Though this studio album, of course, fails to capture the Dead at their finest, it comes close.
Take a minute to listen to these tunes, and you will remember where you would be if you weren't here.
'St. Stephen', 'Doin' That Rag', and 'China Cat' will all take you back to that time when everything was a little strange and at the same time seemed to make a little more sense.
Remember sitting on the lawn with a few close friends, watching the sun come up, with the sounds of the Dead coming from somewhere...I know I do.

1.0 out of 5 stars Warning to casual or unexperience fans
I'll keep this short. In the world of Grateful Dead music offerings, this is one of the worst. Basically all studio recordings by this band suck compared to live recordings. Read more
