Though nothing else on
's debut album came quite up to the standard of the opening number, the whole album is enjoyable for connoisseurs of jazzy
. That opening number,
was the band's musical and commercial highlight, an organ-driven and harmony-laden blast of great progressive
. Elsewhere on this album, the band blends
