Description
Estes Brothers Transitions on Rockadelic. Only 300 pressed! Featured in Hans Pokora's Record Collector Dreams and reviewed in the great Acid Archives. Here's what the Archives had to say about it, "Solid underground stoner blowout which is the way you wish all hardrock LPs were, relentless guitar jamming with a loud basement sound, punky vocals and a druggy/wasted attitude, only a few weak moments. Not slick or overpowering, but the sound of local no-counts letting it rip with no thought of the consequences. Strip-joint piano adds an unusual touch. They also had a pre-LP 45 with PS. The original sleeve was a generic/custom ocean image, which is reinstated for the CD reissue. [PL] The Estes Brothers sound pretty much like the stoned kids next door, for better and for worse. They have average chops and are sloppy with them, which means the guitar solos are too long and the drummer does too many rolls. The grooves aren't bad, though, and this has a kind of earthy appeal. The vocals are hardly professional but don't have any of the usual annoying hard rock tendencies either. The album loses steam toward the end; they have a likeable sound but didn't have too many ideas. I think this album is overrated by collectors, but can see why people like it. It's a refreshing alternative to the pretense and posturing of so many other hard rock albums. The World In Sound CD has a ton of mostly worthwhile bonus tracks, including their best song, the non-LP 45 "Tomorrow's Sunlight" (also on the Rockadelic LP)."
