Album Notes & Community Reviews

Released shortly before their initial disbandment, this retrospective focuses on the Los Angeles-based group's heaviest, countercultural stadium anthems. The collection effectively highlights their crucial role in forging the aggressive, distorted transition from late-1960s psychedelic rock to the heavy metal of the new decade.
