Behold and See one of the greatest albums ever recorded

The name of the album says its all, Behold and See, is a musical fusion of different sounds. Released 1968 this album, a psychedelic collage, has endured time and cultural change in our society and still remains popular in both young and old listeners; that reminisce about the time period.

It’s not hard to understand why this album is loved by many. Ultimate Spinach's musical style is very unique with a lot of different instruments that they add on to give some of their songs a mystic and harmonious sound. But there sound would be meaningless without their deep intrinsic lyrics that express human thoughts and behavior flawlessly. They appeal to the general public and make a connection with their audience. Their followers are all those that are in pursuit of finding themselves. And all those who cannot accept reality as defined and assumed truth by our modern establishment. This album gives a profound insight inside what goes on someone's head when they struggle to conform to the accepted norm and what happens when they reject the idea. This album tells of a journey of an individual that experiences and undergoes ego deflation and ultimately finds peace within them.

The tracks are recorded in chronological order and tell the story of a tormented individual searching for truth and meaning to give to life. Ultimate Spinach analyzes the metamorphosis of this evolutionary process that is curial for one to go through a rebirth. This work of art emphasis the importance of sacrificing and correcting errors that contributes to the collect consciences of mankind and leads us to preserve a distorted reality as ultimate truth.

You don’t have to listen to the album in any particular order but if you wish to hear the complete trip of this particular individual its best if you listen to the tracks in order.
