Steppenwolf ‎– Monster

RARE/2HAND VINYL LP ON DUNHILL 1969

Dunhill DS 50066 made in US in gatefold cover.

Vinyl VG. Cover VG.

The group's most political album, tackling then-current issues such as the Vietnam War, draft resisters, and the decay of justice in America. These were (and are) important topics, but these lumbering hard rock tunes were not an effective means to address them, politically or musically. It's hard to make agitprop and pop mix, but even judged simply within the context of Steppenwolf's records, it lacks memorable compositions, the unexceptional tunes burdened by lyrics that are too heavy-handed.
