Crown Of Creation shows a return to form by Jefferson Airplane, thus reinforcing their place as one of the most creative and influential psychedelic groups of the late 1960s. (US:6)
"Contains the best of both their worlds. It features their beautiful, semi-commercially compatible vocal harmonies with solid west coast vibes and some cutting edge psychedelic foundations. A truly solid release."
"By the time Crown Of Creation came out the Airplane were fully loaded with incredible musicians and an album's worth of uniquely creative songs. Ranging from their exotic take on alternative lifestyles to the acid crazed end of the world, the instruments, voices and sound experiments expand in an effortless collage of psychedelic consciousness. A collision of modern art and contemporary music that helped to define the hypnotic sixties."
"A very good album. Lather is spooky, melancholy and sarcastic at the same time. Triad is a beautiful acoustic ballad that is a bit risqué. Greasy Heart is one of Grace's most underrated gems, it's just awesome. Ice Cream Phoenix and Crown Of Creation are my favourites from this top notch band."
"By now the Airplane had long ago left their hippie-folkie sound behind; in fact, they'd already fragmented so that this record is full of Grace tracks, Paul tracks and Marty tracks, but very few Jefferson Airplane tracks. The end result is a very fine album, but one that shoots off in all directions, rarely settling on a style, and one that could only have been made in the 1960s."
"It was a great deal of fun and most satisfying to rediscover this innovative and wonderful example of prime psychedelic rock. Jefferson Airplane were such a breath of fresh air, so intelligent, funny, irreverent and, lets face it, the first rock band to ever feature a smart, beautiful and sensual female singer who wrote great tunes."
"To my taste this is the most polished and peak piece of Jefferson Airplane's work. The composition, production and musicianship are all dead on. This is one of the very finest examples of psychedelia as a musical genre ever."
