1971 Original. “Lamb's Second Album Used Some Far More Conventional Elements Of Electric Rock Production Than Their Starker Debut Had, Which In Some Ways Made This Follow-Up More Mainstream And Less Striking. On The Other Hand, The Songs Themselves Were More Eclectic, And Complemented Well By The Greater Textural Depth Of The Arrangements. Most Importantly, The Songwriting Continued To Be As Inspired And Unusual As It Had Been On A Sign Of Change, And Only Slightly Less Abstract, Again Mixing Jazz, Folk, Impressionistic Singer/Songwriter Rock, Gospel, And Classical, Though In Different Proportions. Barbara Mauritz's Singing Continued To Be Mighty Impressive, As Sort Of A More Hushed And Nuanced Spin On The Uninhibited Woman Rock Singers Coming To The Fore In Californian Rock, Though With As Much Bluesy Soul. "I'll Spin A Web Of Visions With The Spider Of My Mind" She Sings On "While Waiting," Which Is A Pretty Good Indicator Of The Sort Of Oblique Lyrics That Permeate The Record.” AMG - Richie Unterberger *Top Recommendation.
