MC5’s High Time (1971) marks a return to the raw, explosive energy of their debut, Kick Out the Jams, after the cleaner sound of Back in the USA. Though studio-recorded, it captures the band’s unrestrained spirit with sprawling, genre-bending tracks like “Future/Now” and “Skunk (Sonically Speaking).” Blending punk urgency, blues grit, and experimental flair, the album stands as an underrated yet powerful farewell from one of rock’s most incendiary acts.
