From the sleevenotes: " ... the music contained herein needs no further justification than the fact that it rocks; that it contains ideas, tunes, anti-establishment rants, sharp comments about the world, attempts at transcendent and plenty of savage wit. Because it has remained an open secret, it hasn't become a cliche and so sounds as fresh as the day it was recorded."
