Steppenwolf: Monster [Dunhill, 1969]
An excellent comeback from two bad albums, marred only by the lyrics. John Kay's lyrics have always been awkward and preachy, in a fairly endearing way, but he had the sense to keep them fuzzed behind, so that they had to be discovered. This time he is out front with the protest, and sometimes the result is very good protest music instead of something better. B+
