16. Vanishing Point

Vanishing Point Vanishing Point by Primal Scream
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

This album is tolerable. I mean, there are some really great psych-out songs like "Burning Wheel" and "If They Move, Kill 'Em", but then a track like "Star" comes along and kind of ruins the psychedelic mood.

I feel like this is a good one to listen to in the dark. I guess this album was inspired by the 1971 film Vanishing Point, which I haven't seen. I don't imagine you'd have to in order to understand or enjoy the album.

Gillespie sings like he's on drugs. There are a lot of electronic, trippy, spaceship-like things going on in songs like "Out of the Void" and "Kowalski", and I dig that. It's a little overkill in some places though, but I would say the music is pretty decent.

1. Burning Wheel
