The Pillbugs: Everybody Wants A Way Out
Albums in the mid-60s were usually 30 minutes long: all thriller, no filler. The Pillbugs’ psychedelic power-pop would benefit from that brevity but they’ve eked it out with a couple of guitar solos and progressive noodling that stretches your patience. You can clearly hear the influence of the Beatles and Zombies but the strongest influence is the Who, on songs on songs like ‘Life As It Happens’ and ‘North of Reality’. That muscular powerpop is the telling sign, plus the slip into effects-laden psychedelia on ‘Do You Really Want to Go To the Centre of the Sun’. It’s retro but good; cutting it by about 4 songs and several solos would make it a much tighter 60s mindfuck than in its current indulgent state.
