The one hundred twenty fourth album: #124 The Pretty Things - S.F. Sorrow
We have reached the era of rock operas, albums designed to tell a story, and S.F. Sorrow is set around the life of the titural Sebastian F. Sorrow. The music itself portrays a lot of this, often quite bluntly - Private Sorrow doesn't need the lyrics to explain what happens, for example, although the touches help. It's a very showy rock song, psychedelic rock creeping towards glam, in a way that works quite effectively.
The second half is more of a psychedelic trip and the music goes that way. The guitars screech more, the sounds change and the whole mood changes. The lyrics reflect the weird journey and it builds to a aggressive and sad ending that works well here.
