The 4th Jefferson Airplane LP -and a masterpiece!
Other than the social commentary folk/psych ballad "LATHER" the LP is nearly all full-on electric rock, as well as being steeped in elements of science fiction (specifically author John Wyndham's book The Chrysalids and gripping Theodore Sturgeon short story "life is Strange, how it differs from the rock...") in several places. Crown of Creation was still deliberately more accessible musically than the "Baxter's" LP that preceded it, even as the playing became more bold and daring within more traditional song structures.
Jack Casady by this time had developed one of the most prominent and distinctive bass sounds in American rock, as he sows on "In Time," "Star Track," "Share a Little Joke," "If You Feel," (where he's practically a second lead instrument), and the title song. Jorma Kaukonen's slashing, fuzz guitar attack was continually surprising as his snaking lead guitar parts wended their way through "Star Track" and "Share a Little Joke." The album also reflected the shifting landscape of West Coast music with its inclusion of "Triad," a David Crosby song that his own group, the Byrds, had refused to release -- it was a forerunner of the sound that would later be heard on Crosby's own debut solo album, If I Could Only Remember My Name (on which Slick, Paul Kantner, and Casady would appear).
Crown of Creation captured the Airplane's rapidly evolving, very heavy live sound within the confines of some fairly traditional song structures, with plenty of room for Grace Slick and Marty Balin to shine vocally, with Balin turning in one of his most heartfelt and moving performances on "If You Feel." "Ice Cream Phoenix" pulses with energy and "Greasy Heart" became a concert standard for the group -- the studio original of the latter is notable for Slick's most powerful vocal performance since "Somebody to Love." And the album's big finish, "The House at Pooneil Corners," seemed to fire on all cylinders, their amps cranked up to ten (maybe 11 for Casady), and Balin, Slick, and Kantner stretching out on the way out, compelling tune and lyrics -making for a shattering finish to the album.
