Chronique
Le groupe n’aimait pas tellement ce disque, pointant surtout du doigt la production de Lou Adler et les arrangements de Marty Paich, qui, selon eux, surchargeaient inutilement les chansons. Pourtant, celles-ci, presque toutes écrites par le chanteur Jay Ferguson, surmontent sans aucun mal ces inconvénients plutôt mineurs et forment un ensemble très cohérent et d’une efficacité redoutable, sans aucun rapport avec ce qui se fait au même moment chez les autres groupes de Californie.
Saupoudrées de citations jazz et classiques, elles bénéficient du savoir-faire de musiciens formidables, rompus à tous les exercices, les solos concis et subtils de Randy California et la frappe à la fois souple et autoritaire d’Ed Cassidy se distinguant sur le long « Mechanical World », l’ironique « Gramophone Man », l’autobiographique « Topanga Windows » et « Elijah », alors le morceau le plus « risqué » de Spirit en live.
Enfin, les mérites de ce premier essai n’en semblent que plus importants quand on sait que Led Zeppelin y puisera au moins deux idées et non des moindres : la ligne de basse de « Fresh Garbage » qui formera sur scène l’ossature d’un de leurs medley de reprises à rallonge et, surtout, les arpèges de guitare de l’instrumental « Taurus », seule composition de Randy California ici présente et dont Jimmy Page se servira trois ans plus tard pour en faire l’intro d’une bricole appelée… « Stairway To Heaven ».
