See I want to listen through these in order, partly because I'm methodical about these things, and partly because it's a way of sort of hearing the evolution of music through the years and following that 'journey'. The only problem with that is that you get these 'milestone' albums that completely shake the pot, followed by a number of albums that are building on the new sound, but are then overtaken by the next.... er, pot shakers; that's the case here.
There is actually some really great stuff, but having recently listened to bands like the Beatles, the mamas and the papas and the thirteenth floor elevators for this list, I can kind of hear a lot of their sounds popping up in this album. It's not bad, it's just not "ooh wow!" At the time, the sounds were still fairly fresh, but listened to in the context of the last 5 or so decades of music, it's nothing amazing.
