Released in September of 1967, No Way Out came at the end of the band's first 15 months of existence, a period that encompassed the recording and release of four singles of generally extraordinary quality, and as good as anything heard from any garage band anywhere during that period. "Are You Gonna Be There (At the Love-In)" and "No Way Out," are the core of an immensely powerful LP. Also highlighted are the group's nicely cranked-up "Come On" (obviously influenced by the Rolling Stones' debut single, which was, itself, a good trick, since the latter had never seen a U.S. release in any form) and the psychedelic Bo Diddley-based "Gone and Passes By". The other six tracks are highs as wellm including "Let's Talk About Girls," "In the Midnight Hour," and "Hot Dusty Road," ...then the band submerge into psychedelia in "Expo 2000" and "Dark Side of the Mushroom," and finally, the bizarre "Gossamer Wings," a psychedelic digression that used the band's basic track from the 1966 single B-side "Loose Lip Sync Ship" as its jumping-off point. All of that said, No Way Out is still an extremely impressive and enduring album that nicely straddles the garage punk and psychedelic genres; the Watchband's "Come On" still gets this reviewer's pulse bouncing to the Watchband's heated beat, and it and the other cuts are still highly potent, slashing, exciting, clever pieces of music. "Gone and Passes By" and "No Way Out" are sharp works of psychedelic punk music, the former mixing sitar music with a shimmering Bo Diddley beat to superbly seductive effect, while the latter is built on a twisting, jagged blues- and raga-based lead guitar line that recalls the late-1966 vintage Jefferson Airplane's work. And "Are You Gonna Be There (At the Love-In)" is a stirring, even threatening anthem to youthful defiance. Of the rest, "Let's Talk About Girls" is still a very good track and a killer opener for the album, "In the Midnight Hour" and "Hot Dusty Road" are not too far behind. "Dark Side of the Mushroom" and "Expo 2000" are very effective slices of psych. So the record is an essential '60s album in any collection.
