Album Notes & Community Reviews
Taking a distinctly darker, much more pessimistic turn than their 'Summer of Love' anthems, Jefferson Airplane delivered a highly focused, tightly constructed psychedelic statement. 'Crown of Creation' is wonderfully poetic and fiercely rebellious, exploring deeply apocalyptic, politically charged themes of war through beautifully dark, passionate acid-rock.
