Socrates Drank The Conium - Taste Of Conium (1972)

The second album from this band.

The band was a quintet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars, keyboards and vocals.

When I decided to review their first albums and the four albums they released under their full name, I did that in knowledge that there may be some lunatics among the albums.

This album is a lunatic.

The music is a mix of blues and rock'n'roll with some psych rock incorporated.

Their fourteen minutes long version of the Rolling Stones classic "I can't Get Satisfaction", a cover they rightly so renamed "Wild Satisfaction", is a loony jam over this song. It is wild, wild, wild.

The quality of the music on this forty minutes long album is half decent. I am not really won over. Not by it's charms and not by it's quality. 

This band is a weird band and you get albums like this from weird bands.

1.5 points
