Christian Rock expert Ken Scott tells more about it:
\"What do you get when you combine the heavy Fuzz guitar of Earthen Vessel, the swirling organ of Azitis and the joyous male/female harmonies of The Bridge? You get a humongous Garage/Psychedelic monster by the name of \"Our Generation\".
This Nyack, New York outfit's debut is easily one of the top Jesus Psych privates (Generation LPM/S 500)...
...Opens with the hard-driving rocker \"11th Hour\", followed by the chilling downer minor-key \"Near The End\" with heavy droning distorted Fuzz, eerie vocals and lyrics dealing with death and despair.
\"Love\" provides some animated '60s Garage-Rockin' fun with a bratty abrasive Fuzz riff that sounds like it came straight out of the \"Rhino Nuggets\" boxed set.
Lots of dynamic organ throughout, as on the high-energy \"Look -- Out\" (which again hits us with another venomous explosion of Fuzz), \"Jesus In Your Life\" (coupled with nice wah-wah electric guitar) and \"Can You Make It?\" with its dissonant spoken-word Psychedelic intro.
Even the quieter melodic tracks like \"Beyond Yourself\" and \"I Can See Forever\" definitely have that sought-after tripped-out edge.
The title track closes out the lp with a slow dreamy mysterious Psychedelic mood.
All original songs and every single one is a winner, with creative vocal arrangements and sincere Jesus-centered lyrics.
Faint yellow-on-white cover art with hills, sunflower and chain of figures holding hands.
Raise your hands and worship at high volume. Awesome!\"
