All of the psychedelia.
The band called themselves the United States of America, were formed by a registered communist and given a record contract without even a note of music having been heard by the company. It was a good judgement call though, as this is a brilliantly controlled mess of sounds. Avant garde, yet 'rocking', swirling psychedelic music with a certain amount of sonic cutting and pasting going on.
The band only ever made this one album, but it's as good and definitive a musical statement as a band could hope to make.
