Love & Poetry was the debut album from the Irish psychedelic group Andwellas Dream. It includes a range of influences from rock, jazz to blues and eastern style all mixed together.
“Feedback and strings, acoustic and electric guitars, fast and slower tempo tunes, always meaningful lyrics, all these elements and more are part of Love & Poetry. Simply put, this is truly a classic album. It is as relevant as ever, sounding crisp and fresh. Timeless may be the best one word description. From hard rocking to achingly haunting, the entire musical gamut lies within the confines of this LP.”
“There is not a lot of rock on here. More folky than rock-filled. You get a nice blast of what the sixties were about. You have to pay attention and be knowledgeable about music to appreciate Love & Poetry.”
“The songwriting on this album is extraordinarily good, with a wide variety of styles, and it is certainly in a category higher than your average psych album. This was a talented group of real musicians who produced an album of lasting quality that compares favourably with many a famous classic from the same period.”
“Love & Poetry was one of those albums that raised psychedelic rock high and made it domineering genre of the time. It is diverse and melodious and as the title suggests it is lovely and poetic.”
“While it's often labelled as psychedelic it's only that in parts. It's also straight melodic rock and has some proto prog type influences as well, so its quite a lot of things. The songwriting is fairly ambitious and is for the most part a success.” “To begin, this album's more folk than psychedelic in its melodies and harmonies. It's an interesting album. But you just have to put aside half of the tracks. Some of them just aren't good, are tacky or sound as they weren't finished.”
“To me it all seems mediocre and without character. This sweetened smoothness has nothing to do with psychedelic music; it’s just another trivial pop album. Its obscurity is understandable. Let's keep it that way.”
