Introspection was the sole album release from the British psychedelic group The End. Produced by Rolling Stone Bill Wyman its release was delayed by eighteen months.

“This is a psychedelic influenced album that still sounds fresh and vibrant, full of little bits of whimsy mixed with some wonderful songs.” ,p> “First listen in I loved it, such a refreshing wave of music that perfectly sums up the British psychedelic scene. This album has everything any fan of the late 60s could ask for; harmonies, dreamy songs, upbeat, uplifting songs.”

“A bit of a soft option for the psych-lover, this one. The production is very plush and the humorous interludes are entertaining. Otherwise there's not much going on to raise the bar. That's not to say The End weren't competent because they most certainly were. I just don't rate their songwriting capability much. Consequently, they're better when they're jamming, and this album is a tight collection of songs. Not much room for improvisation by psychedelic standards.”

“Introspection is a sweet little album with many nice tracks. But still a bit of a let down because I expected more. Some of the songs don't offer anything special and sound way too common and mediocre psychedelic pop/rock. On the other hand some very good tracks, too like parts one and two of the title cut.”

“In my opinion The End's only album isn't that special a record at all. Just a quite neat and pretty enjoyable little psychedelic effort. Worth checking out for every psych fanatic out there. But don't expect to hear anything ultimate psychedelic experience or something like that.”

"Very exciting album, in my opinion. This record is pretty poppy but it has some really nice psychedelic elements which do fit in greatly with their music.”

“Some real quality material that can sneak up on you. Fine, dreamy vocal harmonies characterize this primarily soft pop/psych record, featuring some haunting melodies.”
