I was looking forward to
this album because it had been
hyped-up to be Spirit's "est
yet." Since some of Spirit's
former material had been quite
impressive, 1 was really
expecting something good.
Instead, The Twelve
Dreamt of Dr. Sardonicus
turned out to be a mediocre
album. There appears to be
some effort to link 12 songs
together under a common
theme, yet other than the
existance of a prelude, there
isn't any device carrying this
out.
The idea of a unifying
theme seems to be borrowed
from the Moody Blues, as does
a great deal of the sound of
this album.
In general, very much of
the material sounds strangely
familiar, and as a friend and I
listened, we picked out the
influence of Sly Stone, the
Mother's of Invention of
Chicago, as well as assorted
techniques from several other
groups.
Some of the songs are
good. "Nature's Way" and
"Animal Zoo" stand out, but
then again, the second side is
pretty indistinguishable. I kept
getting the impression that I've
heard it all before.
Yet, while the material is a
little tiring, it is well done.
There is no question about it,
Spirit does have a great deal of
talent. It would be nice to hear
something that would 't be
overdone.
Perhaps my friend sums it
up the best-"It's not too bad
to listen to, but I wouldn't buy
it."
