MOVE

The Move are well known for having had Jeff Lynne in their ranks but he would not join the band until after their second album. In fact, they would get considerably heavier and more rock oriented moving forward, which I wouldn't expect from Mr. Lynne due to his more pop oriented work with ELO after he left The Move. Anyway, this is good. I find it to be slightly overrated though, especially considering the people who have decided to call this a lost psych pop classic. It is mostly in a pop/rock vein with some psych and baroque influences, especially in the B-side. The A-side is decidedly less psychedelic and sounds a lot more like beat music to my ears, a sound that was about 2 years past it's sell by date at this point. Some of the A-side reminds me of what the Who were doing in 66/67. Anyway, I like most of this but I think it would be woeful to call this a psych pop masterpiece.
