Seems like by 1970 Steppenwolf were already becoming a two-hit relic of the cultural past. Nonsense. Steppenwolf 7, which is technically their fifth album, is a furious nine-track assault that sounds like cocaine psychosis set to boogie rock. Love it.

A neck-to-nuts banger of a synth album found in a genre mostly celebrated via individual songs and videos rather than LPs. Upstairs at Eric's contains by my count three 'oh yeah I know that song' songs that are probably recognizable to the greater American public.
