Questioning Title?: The bonus track "Would You Like a Snack?".One-Word Title: "Lather", "Triad" and "Chushingura"."Chushinguta" in particular was arguably the first electronic music sound on a rock album. New Sound Album: The sound of this album moves away from the more progressive sound found on After Bathing at Baxter's.Miniscule Rocking: "Chushingura", which only goes for 1:20.It is also said to be partially about Jack Casady as well, particularly with these lines (which were based on an actual incident with Casady): "Lather" isn't just about Dryden either.Yet, despite his old age, many perceived him as child-like. Manchild: "Lather" was mainly inspired by Spencer Dryden, who was Grace Slick's lover at the time and the first of the band's members to turn 30.At the 0:55 mark, however, the progression shifts to an all-major-chord typically-rock chord progression before plunging back into the vamp at 1:10 and staying there for the rest of the song. The song is primarily built around a two-chord vamp meant to sound ominous and tense, with lyrics describing a post-nuclear Crapsack World. Hope Spot: "House at Pooneil Corners" has a musical one.Instrumentals: "Chushingura" and the bonus track "Ribump Ba Bap Dum Dum".Electronic Music: "Chushingura" is an experimental electronic composition, surprisingly enough written by their drummer Spencer Dryden.Face on the Cover: The band can be seen in the mushroom cloud on the cover. Epic Rocking: The bonus track "The Saga of Sydney Spacepig".Also, the bonus track "Candy Man", originally by Reverend Gary Davis.Cover Version: "Triad", which was originally by The Byrds, although their version went unreleased for several decades and David Crosby ended up being given to Jefferson Airplane.Simply put, there's a reason why these bonus tracks went unreleased for years. "Would You Like a Snack?") are avant-garde would be an understatement. Avant-Garde Music: "Chushingura" is a short experimental electronic composition.The picture was taken during one of the US army nuclear tests in the desert. Atomic Hate: Implied by the album cover, which depicts a mushroom cloud.Alliterative Title: " Crown Of Creation".Grace Slick - lead vocals, piano, organ.Jorma Kaukonen - guitar, vocals, electric chicken.
