Younger Than Yesterday

3.5 This was a very exciting album, especially for 60s, and it still sounds pretty fresh today. I’ve always liked The Byrds and their psych folk rock style. They were a little experimental on this with reverse sounds and other electronic effects which fitted the album nicely. But nothing really sets this album apart from the rest of the decade - sort of above average.

Uno de mis discos favoritos de todos los tiempos, este y el posterior The notorious Byrds bros. Portada y título geniales. La producción de un titan como Gary Usher le da una pátina experimental sin perder un gramo de buenas melodías y estilo Byrd. La guitarra Rickenbacker de doce cuerdas de McGuinn sigue relueciendo como siempre, pero le añaden muchas más cosas, sobre todo el bajo de Hillman. Sin Gene Clark, Hillman coge más peso y eso enriquece de qué modo el cóctel, algo que se nota de salida con esa apertura gloriosa en So you want to be... con influencias de Coltrane y Miles, de principio a fin un temazo. Por cierto la trompeta es Hugh Masekela. Le sigue CTA102 de estupendo y soleado puente (pionera del space rock con esos ruidos desde el medio del tema hasta el final) hacia esa Have you seen her face (otra vez Hillman) que, es simplemente una maravilla beat marca de la casa. Time Between es otra joya de Hillman, con aires country que indican por dónde continuaran en unos años los Byrds. Aquí ya se estrena el enorme Clarence White, que luego entraría en la banda. Everybody's Been Burned es un buen tema folkie de Crosby, como Renaissance Fair, que luego metería a calzador el irritante y genial Mind Gardens (desafinando adrede, sin melodía, y con la banda en contra de un tema tan especial). Aacabaría fuera del grupo por un tiempo (el imprescindible Notorious Byrd Bros ya fue sin él, y con una caballo reemplazándole en la portada) Thoughts and Words es de lo mejor del disco y podría estar en Revolver con ese sitar y efectos. El cierre con My back pages es otro clásico imperecedero, de las mejores versiones jamás realizadas de un tema de Dylan, y ellos son auténticos especialistas en ello. The Girl with No Name, es otra delicada pieza de orfebrería country-pop de, cómo no, Hillman con Clarence haciendo una buena colaboración. Del mismo o mejor palo es Old John Robertson, no incluida en la edición original. Why es una versión del tema que ya fuera cara B de 8 miles high, quitándole aire hindú y siendo más comercial. Otro empeño de Crosby, esta vez acertado, es un estupendo tema. De las pistas adicionales destacaría Lady Friend, sencillo entre este disco y The Notorious... que encaja perfectamente entre ambos, y la soleada Don´t make waves, cara B de esta y también de Have you seen her face y que fue inlcuida en el film del mismo título y año (con Tony Curtis). Pues nada, un disco para poner una y otra vez, se hace corto, no por su duración sino por su enorme calidad.

Strong 3

Excellent album. Doesn't necessarily feel essential, but a very worthy listen nonetheless

Hyvin tasapainoinen rocklevy! 3/5

Byrds on kiinnostava yhdistelmä britti- ja jenkkivaikutteita aikansa rockissa. Ihan hyvä levy tämäkin.

Another great classic of the birds that is more experimental and yet still rooted in their usual style. "Mind Gardens" is a great song. I still need to find more in those songs.

Liked So You Want To Be a Rock n Roll Star. Dylan did My Back Pages so much better. This was...fine. It left me wanting more...something. Drugs, maybe?

I just can't with these bland, samey, dime-a-dozen albums anymore here

It was okay not my favorite I little too light

I listened to the original release (11 tracks). There are two hits off this album, and the rest I haven’t heard previously. I never was a huge fan if the Byrds, they were sort of middle of the pack. Overall easy listening.

Silly Byrds! (Silly Bob Dylan!) Sounds old-timey. I like it better than Crosby et al's stuff. Pleasant. Nothing outstanding, but I wasn't particularly looking to be outstood. Highlight: 'My Back Pages'

My baseball team just lost their lead in game 7 of the ALCS there is no way you’re telling me I have to listen to another fucking Byrds album now. “My Back Pages” is the best song here. I am inconsolable, 2/5 stars

Makes the case these guys were operating on a near-Beatles level in 1967. McGuinns shimmering 12-string chords, Crosby’s moody psychedelia, the bands gorgeous harmonies all in top form here. This album along with Buffalo Springfield Again and the Bands first album provide the primer for rock’s folkier side that would be explored later w REM and many subsequent bands. Dylan’s ‘My Back Pages’ may have its definitive version here.

My Back Pages is a good tune, and I actually like the way that old albums consisted of lots of shorter songs. Most of these are well packaged and crisp and it flows well

Younger Than Yesterday is definitely one of the more bizarre albums on this list. Initially, it tricks you into thinking that its just going to be a Beatlesque album with some added country elements, but with C.T.A. - 102 and many other songs, it just really goes off the rails into extreme weirdness territory. It has everything from odd voices to those reverse-sounding guitars which really just make it a really weird album. I didn't think this made any of it bad, in fact, it kinda adds to the album's character but it is still rather jarring. That being said, i did enjoy this album and i thought it was better than the last Byrds album that i did. Best Song: Why Worst Song: C.T.A. - 102

This one is not essential listening unless you’re looking at the history of the Byrds. 2

So there's a few things to be enjoyed about this record, I'm an admirer of Chris Hillman, the banjo playing mandolinist who got stuck playing the bass. Ditto Jim McGuinn, and there's some good moments here for both of them. But what is significant about this record is that Crosby has finally and completely pushed Gene Clark out, and he did it cause Gene was the true talent in the band. That's why this record is just a curio. This list, it is so so strange. Why another Byrds record? Too many of these album are mere curios, I did not need to listen to this again before I dead parrot, to paraphrase Julia Gillard, 'I did not'. Where's Beyonce? How is the greatest artist of the 21st century not worthy of one mention while we drown in a sea of byrdy metalic steely youth?

There are five (five!) Byrds albums on the 1001 albums list. Which seems, to me, three too many. I would accept the argument for the inclusion of Sweethearts of the Rodeo and maybe one other, possibly this album, but possibly one of their other pre-country records. Some stray observations: - David Crosby; he's talented, but he is band poison. He is an evil troll who will fuck up your band dynamics with the Four Horsemen of Band Apocalypse: ego, drugs, arguing about song-writing credit, and trying the shag your girlfriend. - Chris Hillman, on the other hand, takes his moment to shine with four terrific original songs, a co-write on the first single, and a bunch of quality lead vocals. Who knew? - I never realized that the Charlatan's lifted the chorus of 'The Only One I Know' from 'Everybody's Been Burned'. You learn something every day - 'Renaissance Fair' is embarrassingly bad hippie rubbish - 'Mind Games' is worse -- just because you got stoned at Monterey Pop listening to Ravi Shankar does not mean that you should try to write a raga, white boy - I quite like the backwards guitar solo on 'Thoughts and Words' - The singles are really great, which is to be expected. - I have read this described as The Byrds' Revolver, but seriously, this ain't no Revolver

Ha, of course there’s time for one final Byrds album before I finish this whole charade. But lo! The generator has once again saved the best for last. The airy jangle-folk and country tunes that I didn’t much care for in their other albums are at a minimum, with pop and psych songs pleasingly at the fore. Plus, there’s only one cover! And it’s a good’un anyway. The singles are the best tracks but I enjoyed the album as a whole. I’m giving it 3.5 stars, but I’ll round up because I know the surviving members of The Byrds will be chuffed to finally get a decent score from me at the fifth time of asking.

Not bad but not really grabbing me

Not their strongest work but a good record.

Good stuff by a band that just couldn't get along with each for ling stints at a time, or in their other group efforts under different band names.

"The Byrds had initially come to international prominence in mid-1965, when their folk rock interpretation of Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man" reached number 1 on both the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and the UK Singles Chart." This just shows how shit Bob Dylan is. The Byrds did what Bob and his deathly harmonica could never. Other than that hilarious piece of trivia, a very 'meh' album that I probably won't listen to again. Did make me start to drift off towards the end. +1 extra for showing Bob how to record a song. Fuck you Bob.

One Thousand & One Beatles rip-offs

Did anything good happen in the 1960s?

porra achei legal

surpreendentemente bom? depois do album só de cover deles aqui, não esperava nada. bom, a produção é interessante. chei de textura, né. é uma cópia de beatles, mas tem sua própria personalidade, vai. é bem maluco e psicodélico

Some good stuff here, but not my favorite Ryan Adams

Never was a Byrds guy but i liked the psych elements that start to bubble up on here (2.5/5)

Jangling guitars. Occasional horns. Classic.

should be my thing but some odd songs on this

462/1001 🌕🌕🌕🌑🌑

Saved a few songs, not bad but pretty similar to a lot of the music from this generation. It’s not bad. Something I’d play for anyone interested in classic rock

it’s like I woke up and realized that my idealized sense of how to live my youth kept me from losing the plot. flipped nostalgia. i’m left with making out what I just dreamt.

Songs: So You Want to Be a Rock N Roll Star (?), My Back Pages

Instruments: 4/5 Production: 2/5 Vibes: 3/5 Emotional value: 2/5 Lyrics/Storytelling: 2/5 Stand out songs: My Back Pages, Everybody's Been Burned Rating: 2.6

Not quite

Three stars for some classics. Generally do not prefer them. Maybe my least favorite of the CSNY family?

Mostly just bland, but WHAT was going on with CTA 102??? My Back Pages is an all-timer though.

This is the fifth (FIFTH!?) album I’ve gotten by The Byrds, and I can now say with confidence that they embody everything I hate about this era of pop-rock. They don’t have the catchiness of their rock and roll predecessors nor the experimental curiosity of their contemporaries. Their psychedelic influences are surface level at best, suggesting that they themselves don’t know how to use them beyond trendy imitation. Take, for example, this verse off Renaissance fair: “I smell cinnamon and spices / I hear music everywhere / All around kaleidoscope of colour / I think maybe I’m dreaming.” Geddit? He’s high. He’s SINGING about being high. Pretty groundbreaking for ‘67, right? Mind Gardens is also unbelievably bad, with clumsy poetry and a reversed recording of a guitar that drills into your skull. It’s lobotomy without the bliss that follows. When it isn’t riffing off far better bands, it just sounds goddamn boring. Maybe I’m being harsh because I’m in the last stretch of albums, or maybe —just maybe— these guys don’t deserved the amount of representation they got in the book.

Tracks 6-11 get five stars. The rest of the tracks on the original release get a 3. I guess we’ll split the difference.

1967 was quite a year for music, and this album was released in February 1967 directly between The Doors (January) and the Velvet Underground (March). A week after this album was released a 45 hit the shelves: Strawberry Fields / Penny Lane. Sgt Pepper arrived soon. Jimi Hendrix too. So in the midst of the greatest revolution of all times comes this fourth album by the Byrds. And it sounds…so 1966. It’s the Byrds’ signature psychedelic folk rock sound, with maybe a splash of Pet Sounds and Revolver influence. But it’s good stuff because, hey, 1966 was a good year for music too.

This album is sort of a "Rubber Soul" for the Byrds. While they still have a big cover single in "My Back Pages," they seem to have moved in a more sophisticated direction both lyrically and technically. It has all the earmarks of a transition (they go on to work on their hybrid country album after this), but to me, this is their best work from he original lineup.

Not bad. I don't usually go for British invasion stuff, but this was raw enough to keep me interested.

Solid rock album! Liked it more than a lot of the other rock I've heard so far

Um what? There is way more psychedelic songs than I was expecting. They're really good too! One of my favorite things about any Byrds album is their intense vocal harmonies. What's really impressive with this album is that there's a few songs in a row that don't really have those harmonies, but I don't notice at all. The songs are so good that I don't feel like I'm missing out on my favorite part of listening to a Byrds album. I decided not to listen to the extra tracks at the end of the album before rating it, but I will still listen to them after I rate it. As much as I would say I enjoy The Byrds, I think I really don't know much of their music outside their first two albums. This one caught me quite a bit by surprise, but I really enjoyed it. Another listen or more familiarity with it might move it up my ratings, but I'm honestly really impressed with this album. Favorite Song(s): Everyone's Been Burned, My Back Pages

A nice listen with a few standout tracks. 3.5⭐

60's psychedelic rock is just not my thing. This sounded like non-descript 60's rock, but with some weird noises thrown in. I didn't completely hate it and I liked My Back Pages.

I'm not sure how many Byrds albums are on this list, but it's probably a couple too many. This one can be dropped for sure. Nothing really stood out and some of the songs were experimental to the point of being annoying

A perfectly okay album

Pretty good, a couple songs I wasn't fully into.

60s slop. It's fine, but pretty generic.

I just don’t find this late ’60s sound all that interesting. There are a few decent moments, but most of it comes off as dull. “C.T.A.-102” at least stands out as something different, but that doesn’t necessarily make it good.

Album 919 of 1089 The Byrds - Younger Than Yesterday (1967) Rating : 3 / 5 I’ve always enjoyed The Byrds, and this one gave me more of that recognizable sound I associate with them compared to the last album I heard. Still, no tracks really jumped out and stuck with me this time around. It feels like one that might grow on me more with a few additional listens. Most of what I know from them are their big hit singles, so those naturally stand out in my memory. There weren’t any of those here, and I think that plays into it a bit. The songs were pleasant and well done, though - a laid-back and relaxing album overall.

weaker beetles emmulator

Little trippier than I expected. Opening song is a classic. Otherwise kind of what I expected nothing I’d need to hear again.

Just could not appreciate this.

So I really like a lot of the Byrds stuff. They were an influence on my favorite band, R.E.M. While I recognized a few cuts, I don’t think I’d listened to this album in its entirety before. I hate the first song, “So You Wanna Be A Rock & Roll Star.” Totally grates on me. Then you get some more psychedelic and experimental stuff than I was expecting, and at first didn’t sound like the Byrds sound I think of … jangly folky pop rock with a 60s vibe. But I stuck with it and there are some absolute gems on this record. My Back Pages is amazing.

2 tedious

Recht viu country, fasch chli zu viu für mi het paar sehr spezieui u einzigartigi songs drb. Viu gitarre u o recht fiini songs. het abr einzelni cooli derbi.

Solid 3.5 but leans more towards 3. Pretty good!

Pretty good. I loved Croz but sometimes he couldn't carry a tune

ahh yes the classic hard pan stereo mixing technique. i fucking hate it

Solid album, really enjoyed psychedelic aspect

This is quite good apart from Mind Gardens

Just not enough standing out here, despite its pleasantness. Simpsons: Yes

I dont think this was a good as Mr. Tambourine Man, but it was under 30 minutes which is always nice.

It was aight, more interesting than I thought it was going to be, that alien shit came out of nowhere.

Cosy album with some good songs

3/5, some good songs.

Not my favorite Byrds album but it has some good songs and innovative ones too. So you wanna be a rock n roll star is a classic. Renaissance Fair and Mind Gardens were innovative at the time.

I think this is one of the interesting groups. It's essentially Beatles without the empirical exploration of Beatles, however what makes it very interesting is the small hints of very experimental insertions into music. The ones i specifically loved are the alien noises at CTA - 102's end, the very Carpenter/Horror-esque start of Everybody's Been Burned (Could easily be a Silent Hill entrance) and the overall eeriness/ambient noise of Mind Gardens, which also gives a hint of Asian music as well. The progressivity of this album exceeds my expectations as this is an album from '67. A five.

Nice.

Not very memorable

didn’t get to finish it but what i heard was absolutely banging

Simply a great album. Pretty distinct from contemporary bands and loved the meaning and the theme of CTA.

Good musicianship The songs don't stick with me

"Younger Than Yesterday" is the fourth studio album by American rock band the Byrds. Rock, folk rock, psychedelic rock, country rock and raga rock are the Wiki-listed genres. They all fit at some point. The album was their first without Gene Clark's participation and continued their integration of psychedelia and jazz elements into their music. The band and producer Gary Usher also experimented with new textures, including brass instruments, reverse tape effects and an electronic oscillator. The Byrd members on this album were Jim McGuinn (lead guitar, vocals), David Crosby (rhythm guitar, vocals), Chris Hillman (bass, vocals) and Michael Clarke (drums). Additional musicians were used including Hugh Masekela on trumpet and Clarence White on acoustic guitar who would later join the band. Commercially, the album was initially overlooked by the public and ended up reaching #24 on the US charts and #37 in the UK. Critically, the album is considered one of their best. McGuinn famous 12-string Rickenbacker guitar melody opens "So You Want to Be a Rick 'n' Roll Star." A satirical swipe at manufactured pop band the Monkees as well as their "pretty boy" drummer Michael Clarke. Looping bass lines. Co-lead vocals with McGuinn and Hillman. And, of course, Hugh Masekela giving it that jazz kick on the trumpet. One of the Byrds' best. Hillman takes over lead vocals on "Have You Seen Her Face." More early 60's guitar. A great vocal chorus and backing vocals. More in the British invasion style. Hillman takes his next song "Time Between" in a country rock direction with the guitar and a tambourine. Fused with a Beatle-esque beat. Interesting combination. David Crosby takes the vocal helm in the wonderful "Everybody's Been Burned." Moody guitar in a song about the need to balance disillusionment and perseverance in a relationship. Haunting, dreamy. The guitar has a psychedelic edge. Very much a reflective song and foreshadows Crosby's solo work. McGuinn is back with his 12-string in the Bob Dylan cover "My Back Pages." Melodic. Great harmonies. The album's title was derived from a line in the song. It's always a great experience to listen to or witness the convergence of great talents coming together. And that's what we have here with the rock, pop and psychedelia of Jim McGuinn, the country rock and songwriting ability of Chris Hillman and the pyschedelic folk and experimentation of David Crosby. This resulted in an album that covers the British invasion, psychedelia, the weird, country rock, raga and pop. Memorable moments with McGuinn's 12-string sound, Masekela's trumpet, Hillman's looping bass and always the vocal harmonies. The Byrds have a few great albums and this is one of them.

When the Byrds hit their groove, which they do a couple times on this album, you cannot beat it for distilled 60s sound. Psychedelia linked with country and an undercurrent of light jazz is a mainline sound for me. But this is also pre-the album as a thing era. As such there isn’t much that binds this together as a statement. The embryonic explosion of 60s influence I still love. Plus they made a living off of good Dylan covers. And I love Dylan.

I don't think I've ever listened to a Byrds album from start to finish before. I liked this album much better when I gave it a second, more deliberate listen. The more psychedelic songs were particularly enjoyable.

Not bad for the Byrds but Jesus the cavernous gap in songwriting quality in the tracks between So You Wanna Be A Rock N Roll Star and Dylan's My Back Pages is something to behold. Pretty much the only thing to hold your attention between those two is the relatively bountiful use of backwards tracks.

This is now number four of five Byrds albums in the collection, so 80% done, which is perhaps the best I can say about the album (and the Byrds). I enjoyed a few tracks on this album, mainly "Everybody's been burned" and their well-known Dylan cover "My back pages", but I suspect I'd be hard-pressed to recall any songs from this album a few days from now, although "C.T.A - 102" definitely stands out as a strong outlier, at least the second half of the song with weird sound effects and faux-backwards "alien voices" (how daring!). Ultimately, though, this album has cemented my understanding that I'm not a fan of the Byrds' style or sound, and I'm not likely to warm up to them.

wtf is happening at the end of the 3rd track. I'm not looking it up, either. Rock and roll star is a classic with the genius horn being basically the lead singer and the band singing backup to it. So cool. The next track is great 60's pop, cue black and white film of a mod chick sauntering through London. And then we have the third track, which I guess is when the drugs kicked in. The next song is an ode to a RenFest. It's just what you think. Album moves into a kind of talky jangly sound where the drummer seems really really bad. Everybody's Been Burned at this point includes you, the listener. Even My Back Pages plods along despite the Nobel lyrics. Sorry, Bob. The drummer, imho, is a problem.

Very solid album. No skips. I love the country-rock songs. Can see the direction they were heading with the next release being Sweetheart of the Rodeo. I would be remiss not to mention My Back Pages. 5

3.3 Pretty decent 60s psychadelic pop. Not the best, but far from the worst on this list. Such an overrepresented genre on here, but I'd keep this above a large portion of the rest.

Chyrp chyrp

Oh but I was so much older then, I'm younger than that noooww! Comparativement à Sweetheart of the Rodeo, j'ai trouvé ça pâle et je le qualifierais même de Beatles des pauvres... désolé pour les fans. J'avoue ne pas l'avoir écouté avec une oreille consacrée on va peut-être y revenir pour comprendre.

Préféré Sweethear of the Rodeo mais ça demeure excellent. Renaissance fair excellent

God I hate David Crosby. Back Pages and So You Wanna Be a RnR star are songs everyone needs to hear. Have You Seen Her Face is great. CTA is weird, drippy hippy euphoria and catchy. Girl with No Name is solid. So is Why. The Crosby lead songs are abysmal. Fuck you Dave. 3 stars

Great listen!

Avg 60s album, the Byrds should have stuck to Bob Dylan covers, that’s their bread and butter.

Rhythmically it was a good one, I enjoyed the early rock vibe they were experimenting with.

This was an enjoyable album that I liked most of mostly

Hard not to enjoy this one. Great musicianship, some classic songs, harmonies and melodies that wash over you. A bit more psych rock than I wanted at times, but overall very enjoyable.

3eme album proposé pour ce groupe, après 2 autres que je n'avais pas apprécié (notés 2/5). Celui-ci n'est pas plus intéressant, il ne mérite pas une meilleure note. =>2/5

Much better than the first Byrds album I got which was a painful slog. This one was an excellent psychedelic folk rock album. It's very much a product of its time but it was a good time so can't complain. Favorites: So You Want to Be a Rock N' Roll Star, Thoughts and Words, My Back Pages, It Happens Each Day Least Favorites: Mind Garden

I liked a lot of the songs, but some of them were just absolutely not it.

Pretty standard 60s rock with some weird songs thrown in for good measure that just make the whole thing a bit worse. I love some good 60s rock and roll, so I'm conflicted, but the bad ones really drug it down.

Throughly not impressed. Beach boys meet Beatles but forgot how to make music?

I really enjoyed this album. There were a couple weird features but overall I liked it a lot. Easy listening and reminded me of the Beatles.

I was expecting a boring ‘60s record with generic songs/vibes. But this was really unique. Harmonically varied and sonically interesting. I love a weird album that is executed well. Folksy and psychedelic. I quite enjoyed it. 7/10

these guys are always a nice listen

Interesting album! Was not taken in by the first tracks, especially rock n’ roll star with the crowd overlay and la la las, but warmed up as things got more experimental. It felt like producer choices up front until the eavesdropping aliens abducted them in CTA and things got a little weirder. Very unique production with multiple effects, distortions, and blend of folk, rock styles. Renaissance fair, thoughts and words, mind garden, my back pages 4.1

Yes 🩵

British boy bands

Meh.

Good rock album. Some Beatles, some country, some sounds all their own.

This was a pleasant surprise. I expected it to be The Beatles we have at home, and it was a little of that. But as a whole, I think this album stands on its own. Sorry Byrds, I was not familiar with your game. 4/5 Highlights: Renaissance Fair Mind Gardens Lady Friend Old John Robertson

2/5

Täysin sama mielipide kuin toisestakin The Byrdsin albumista: Taustamusiikkina meni aivan hyvin. En valitsisi tätä itse kuunteluun, mutta en välittömästi vaihtaisi kanavaakaan. Kuulosti 60-luvulta.

Reminds me of Bob Dylan. My back pages was a standout song. 5/10

Its good, i liked, but its very country

I enjoyed this one. Some of the more experimental bits didn’t work for me but I thought overall it was fun and there was a good variation across the album. Fav song: My Back Pages - also liked It Happens Each Day and Everybody’s Been Burned Least fav: Thoughts and Words

Some of the songs on this were fine, the rest of them were like they were trying to be annoying. I know they were ‘trying stuff out’ or whatever but I don’t want to hear the bloody reverse taping or whatever the hell was going on on CTA- 102. Not a huge fan. Specific rating - 2.2 Fav song- my back pages Least fav- CTA - 102

Almost all the songs were 4 star songs for me, but the few that were annoying were super annoying. Favourite song: The Girl With No Name Least: Mind Garden

Tycker det är ett bra album rakt igenom. Melodiskt och lattjo. Korta låtar dock. Sen är det kul att jag hörde att det var en BD-cover på en gång.

Stabil och bra platta rakt igenom även om det kanske inte är den genre jag älskar mest. My back pages är riktigt bra.

Was nice,easy listening - but nothing really stuck with me.

There's a little bit of everything here. There are a couple of great songs, a couple of annoying songs, but the rest is just average 60s folk rock. Maybe a bit above average. 3.5, and I guess I will round up since I generally enjoyed listening to it. I don't think I'm coming back to it, though.

I actually really love this album! I’ve seen reviews where other people find it derivative etc. but purely from a listening perspective and how it makes me feel, I really like it. It sits well with my ears. It reminds me a lot of the Beatles and is comforting to me. I especially like My Back Pages.

3/10

Сначала как-то средне пошло, но потом то ли прислушался, то ли песни лучше пошли, но начиная где-то с середины (может даже чуть раньше), очень понравилось. Атмосферная музыка, слушать приятно. 7 из 10.

I like the Byrds, but this is one of their weakest albums from their classic period IMO. The title track is a fun one and the other songs are all decent, but there aren't real standout moments or anything here. I'm kind of baffled as to why this one was included at all. There's enough Byrds representation as is and there's other albums not featured that I think showcase the Byrds better.

6/10…60s folk rock

Great album but not as great as Sweetheart at the Rodeo. The weird voice in CTA-102 is a nice touch.

This honestly feels like 1 song and a bunch of filler. My Back Pages is phenomenal. But it feels like they basically used all their creativity on that one song and had nothing left for the rest of the album.

Ну прикольно, 4.

It's some nice psychedelic rock, nothing too big. You can hear the British Invasion influences, but the weird parts and jazzy moments make it a bit more interesting than just generic rock and roll. Even so, it's not that good an album. The performances are pretty good, the singing is pretty nice and the backup vocals work really well. My favourite part were, as I said, the more experimental moments where they add new instruments and techniques to make the songs more interesting. The mix was a bit too thin, which might be because it was recorded a while ago. My favourite songs were "Ming Gardens" and "Renaissance Fair".

It was okay.

After listening to this, I do not not feel younger than yesterday. In fact, I feel 30 years older. This kind of bored me to tears.

This is very much a Byrds record, combining all the harmonious psychedelia listeners came to expect with a burgeoning interest in jazz textures (shout out to Hugh Masekela making an appearance) and just a hint of the country rock sound they'd soon lean into.

Sometimes being boring is worse than being bad, and unfortunately this is a pretty boring album. It's just so flat throughout, there is nothing that stands out to me here. Even my favorite track on the album, "My Back Pages," is a Bob Dylan cover. I don't think anything here was bad, but I don't see myself coming back to this album in the future.

sin más

Light hearted quick little album. I liked some of the campier songs but Everybody’s Been Burned, Thoughts and Words, and Mind Games were my favorite.

Boooooooooooring

Sure, throw another psychedelia record on the pile, who cares I liked the last three songs, but not enough to give this a higher score

Good music interspersed with some terrible David Crosby originals

scale: 1 - instaskip, 2-meh can be skipped/reaches point to skip, 3 -nothing wrong/easy listen/not seeking out, 4 - would listen to again, 5 - must listen 17 cd songs: 1. 3 2. 4 3. 2-wot is that end 4. 3 5. 4 6. 4.5 7. 4 8. 3 9. 5 thanks dylan 10. 3 3.55 / 5 for the OG 10 11. 3 12. 2.5 13. 2 - got sick of repetition on a 97 second song 14. 5 - some extras involved, just as good as the single version 15. 3 same as it ever was 16. 3 17. 3.5 kept my interest for a while 3.38 / 5 for full 17 has one of my favourite covers of a bob dylan song, and one or two other notable songs.

ok I guess. couple of keepers. 5.9 it gets better with multiple lessons actually.

Day 33 One of my fav bands ever! I The kings of folk rock themselves! have listened to this album several times before and its a gorgeous album! (4/5)

Pop songs that are sometimes kind of trippy.

Very good album

Like a lot of albums in the 60’s I can appreciate the timeless lyrics and musicianship but the recordings always sound similar to me because of the utter lack of bass/bottom end and smeared together parts. It’s an obvious question to me now : did the revolution in recording technology at the time beget the explosion of talent in the late 60’s/early 70’s or was it the other way around? I do appreciate gaining a deeper understanding of why this band covered so many Bob Dylan songs — feels like theor electrified versions were an obvious influence over his transition from his strictly folk acoustic origins.

A very good album for it’s time. Wuite enjoyed this! 4/5

I really like their sound but I didn’t find anything they I need to listen to again. I recall liking the previous album from The Byrds a little more.

Pretty solid Byrds album.

Fun music, reminds me of childhood.

Whatever you think of when you hear "generic late 60s/early 70s band" that is what this album is. It's not terrible, but nothing really stands out either.

Yes, Gene Clark was a fuckup and addict but he was the real heart and soul of this band because oh man is this listless. Gone are the grand sweep of guitars and wistful harmonies, and in are weird pop touches to try to be hip for no good reason. If the bad rap on the Byrds was that they were just a Dylan cover band, this record doesn’t help because they only great song is their cover of “My Back Pages”. It’s not that this album is altogether terrible - it’s just that you expect a LOT more from The Byrds.

This is a decent album. It feels a bit derivative. It also lacks cohesion where some songs are straight pop songs and then others are psychedelic trips.

Not bad at all! I really enjoyed My Back Pages. Listening this album on the way to a very quiet park on a Sunday afternoon. Super warm outside but we chill in the car with aircon on. I’ll remember this. The rest is just ok. I definitely dislike the noise in CTA-102 though. So it’s a weak 4 for me.

it was fine. nothing much more to say than that. it was pretty chill to listen to.

Had a fun 60s sound that brought together a lot of influences. There were some standout tracks but nothing that absolutely blew me away. Will come back to give this one another listen but only worthy of a middle of the road rating.

I really like The Byrds sound and this album. Really easy to listen to, but with enough variation to keep you interested. This is a 3.5/5 for me.

2.5/5

Very of it's time (complimentary)

nicht mein ding: 60s, unverkennbarer einfluss von folk/country.

Nie klar ob sie Drogen genommen, zuviel in Indien waren oder gerade Chorübungen haben.

Solid late 60’s vibe

Sentí que estaba escuchando a los beatles y yo odio a los beatles. Tuvo momentos copados pero son los menos, no veía la hora de que termine. Le doy un 2 porque capaz algún que otro tema safo

No me atrajo nada, odio los pajaros

Sounds a lot like rock from this era without being generic. Nice to have in the background, but the second song stood out as a real hit to me.

Way too much of this on this list, I think this might be one of the better ones on here? But for me I really can't put much between them, they sell just sound the same.

Have You Seen Her Face and CTA -102 are fun, but nothing I really need. 2/5 stars.

"Renaissance Fair" is mijn persoonlijke favoriet, maar het hele album is zeer, zeer solide.

Not bad, enjoyed the old-timey psychedelic folk-rock

Every 60's "psychedelic" rock album I get on here further solidifies my hatred for this era of music.

So many Byrds albums.

Listened in the truck via YouTube music. Mid tier late 60’s album. They have so many better.

Another Byrd's album and it was ok I've never been the biggest byrds fan, I don't hate them but not my favorite,! Just kind of a basic album lol

The first half holds up to today’s standards. Incredible opening track, worth 4 stars alone for that.

All my life I was told to get hip and pay attention. And I can't even begin to telling you how terminally borning the Byrds are. Like maybe you get diamonds from time and pressure but boy is this derivative, uninspired 60s folk. But, I guess thinking critically. Before the Byrds there was no 60s folk rock. And if they truly birthed a half a century of rock music. Then so be it.

The only thing from the Byrds that I’ve listened to before was Sweetheart of the Rodeo so I was expecting more of a country rock vibe and this wasn’t that. It was still a good album. Pleasant and mostly fine 60s rock with a few bits of weird psychedelic music included. Nothing too special that stands out here and I probably won’t relisten but not bad

Couple cool songs but overall it fell flat. I know they have better albums than this one. It felt like they were trying to hard to be psychedelic or something. Didn’t feel sincere. Kinda boy band vibes.

It’s fine. Easy to listen to, not super memorable for me.

The album was cute and I surprisingly enjoyed listening to it. I thought it was gonna be some old kinda vibes album from 67’ but I liked it.

Pretty decent. I knew the first song of course, and I remember reading about "CTA-102" in Carl Sagan's discussion of the discovery of that pulsar, but the rest was new to me, and better than I had expected. I'd probably give it 3½ stars, but I decided to round up.

The Byrds. Hoo boy, it’s been a good while. 169 albums ago I referred to The Notorious Byrd Brothers as “...the worst album I've listened to thus far”. I don’t recall much about my thoughts on that album, though I’d probably disagree now. The worst album I’ve listened to through the list is probably Metal Box or The Chronic. Yeah, it’s pretty alright. I was right in my initial assessment of The Byrds as a derivative band, though there’s a quite a bit of their own flavour in here that I don’t recall being on Notorious Byrd Brothers. Maybe I just have less of a stick up my ass 169 albums later. So You Want To Be a Rock ‘n’ Roll Star is a good opener. It’s some very of-the-time 60s pop rock, though it's admirably competent and has some fun lyrics. Have You Seen Her Face is a good follow-up, though I don’t really have anything else to say about it. It’s just a solid track. Time Between is pretty good – I dig the smooth, country sound and unusual vocal style. Everybody’s Been Burned is an interesting pivot. The sound is pensive, though there’s a little bit of a bossa nova edge that makes the song quite relaxing at the same time. Mind Gardens has an influence I can’t quite put my finger on, though nevertheless it's quite good. There’s some vivid lyrics in there and I enjoy the general mysticism of the piece. Although me and these avyan bastards got off on the wrong foot, I’m willing to enrich myself with some much-needed learning. I’m checking the book. A very technical album from what I’m picking up – a lot of studio trickery and stylistic influences. Yeah, I respect this pick. There’s a lot going on with this one.

Classic early rock and roll. Similar to The Beach Boys but without all the complex harmonies. 27 songs but all under 4 minutes with most under 3, so a quick and easy listen.

Byrds round 2. Melodically this felt more lacking, but overall was sonically sound and interested in sound. Lyrically whimsical and engaging. A fun little ditty of an album. Best tunes: so you want to be a rock ‘n’ roll star, renaissance fair, mind gardens

So much to hate. Stupid band name spelling, use of Beach Boy producer, David Crosby, etc. Found a mono 1967 version that was transcribed from vinyl with its clicks and pops. That was nice. One interesting track was CTA-102. Not a Burds/Berds fan.

Byrds- some nice harmonies. favorites were Time Between and So You want to be rock n Roll Star. They kind of overdid it with the backwards guitar. Kind of boring. I prefer the alternate version of Back Pages without the claves.

Its fine, i just found it kind of boring. The songwriting doesnt do it for me and the performance/recording wasnt very exciting. Time between is the only song i knew and probably my favorite one. The reverse guitar on thoughts and words was maybe the only mildly interesting part of the whole record.

I find this so boring

I thought I would enjoy this one more, 60s experimental rock is right up my alley. Had it play through a couple of times and it was fine, but no moments of pause or standout for me. Maybe I have to revisit this, or another one of their albums.

I know this wasn't the group's first rodeo and there were some interesting experimental sounds here. Not enough to supplant the great artists from around this time, though. Still a neat lens into early folk & country-inspired rock.

A fun listen. More fun to think that this may have been on the radio for my parents when they were dating or on the hi-fi of the parties they went to. Rock and Roll star and the Bob Dylan cover, My Back Pages, being the stand out tracks for me. A fun blending of psychedelia, country, rock and jazz.

Just shows how fast things were moving in the 60s - for the most part, Younger Than Yesterday sees The Byrds trying to capture the simple pop charm of Help!-era Beatles, while the Fab Four themselves had already moved on to Sgt Pepper innovation as this album hit the shelves. That's not to say The Byrds weren't branching out with some studio exploration, but while the George Martins and Brian Wilsons of this world were, for example, using varispeed to add different timbres and textures to drums and vocals, The Byrds were still amused by sped-up chipmunk effects. But despite the dated novelty excursions, Younger Than Yesterday sees McGuinn and co making some decent music, and it remains one of my favourite Byrds LPs - the expanded version which includes Crosby's brilliant Lady Friend is a must. Not quite five stars, but an album I have a soft spot for.

Really interesting album, not every experiment works but for the 60s really impressive vibes

fun. my favorite was my back pages

Few interesting experimentation but I did not feel it pushed the 60s sound forward.

Really a cool and creative mix of genres. Fun and serious at the same time. I greatly enjoyed it

Fine offering from the Burd’s but nothing outstanding.

Some good fun pop songs, the backwards songs get annoying pretty quick, on rym I'm giving this a 3,5, here a 3.

meh

I'm a fan of the Byrds and find it difficult to be objective here. I do think this is past the prime of the Byrds - 8 miles High - was their high point. Still pretty good, and enjoyed listening to 'rock n roll star' and 'my back pages' again. I suppose for those less acquainted this would be a bit hit and miss.

Enjoyable, but somewhat repetitive throughout (sans robot sounds).

More psychedelic than anticipated, the end of CTA-102 took me by surprise

Didn’t love it, but it’s fine, I guess. It got dangerously close to country on a few occasions, but it was also kind of weird and experimental at times. Mostly just kind of late 60s hippie rock with a toe dipped in acid. It’s fine for what it is. 2.5

loved it, and sometimes it seemed like harry styles was singing lol

It was ok

2,3/5

Pretty good. I like their sound and style.

It’s fine, just fine.

Had several Byrds albums on the project now, and I’ve enjoyed each of them in their own way. Wasn’t familiar with any of these tracks, favorite was probably ‘My Back Pages’.. liked the second half better 3.5/5

-probably my favorite of the three Byrds albums i’ve listened to so far. i like their rock direction much better than their country stuff.. and the direction they eventually went with CSNY -some songs on here were definitely a bit underwhelming but i’d go as far as to say the good ones make up for that -Favorites are Everybody’s Been Burned and Thoughts and Words

Really enjoyable, quick listen. There were a few misfires (CTA with the weird transmission, "alien" voice), but overall will revisit, especially "Have you seen her face"

Not my favourite Elvis period but this album did give us In The Ghetto, Suspicious Minds, and Don't Cry Daddy, which are classics.

I only knew The Byrds as a name, an era and “Turn, turn, turn” which has been played so much it’s become clichéd. I expected standard 60s pop but it’s much more varied. Definite comparisons with The Beatles for pure pop, great harmonies and experimental sounds. Love the lead singer’s voice and the harmonies. Enjoyed the country and folk influences as well as the experimental sounds. The Mind Garden is the most “out there” and my favourite - somewhat discordant but still hauntingly beautiful. I preferred the pared back Mind Garden 1 version where the clarity and purity of the voice really shines through. So glad to have discovered this album

Nifty middle there, buuuut I think unfortunately just not quite enough to make it a 4!

When listening to the first track, my first thought was "this was ahead of its time, this probably knocked the socks off some grandmas, but it hasn't aged well." This made it all the more surprising when, after a few tracks, I was still feeling it was ahead of its time - but in the type of way where there's some really clean and interesting sounds on here. Not what I would have expected from the 60s. Ultimately this only really took the album to a three... But still, the first track is deceptively simple.

Music got so much better when everyone started dropping acid

woooo more 60s slop

This has to be among the most interesting '60s rock albums we've had yet. There's a lot of experimentation and effects that sound ahead of their time, like the reversed guitars on Thoughts and Words. It's still a 60s rock album though, so 3 is the best I can do. Shoutout to Glorp on track 3. Standouts: Thoughts and Words • Time Between

Tentative 4 for me but I feel like it lost steam at the end. Stunning production and gorgeous harmonies as always for The Byrds. Their attempts at psychedelic sound effects did not charm me much, but there was enough other good stuff that I didn't mind. They do excellent covers of Bob Dylan which I always appreciate.

Patchy, but very enjoyable at its best.

3.5

Jingly Jangly Byrds-iness. Nice enough but no real stand out songs. And maybe it's my mood, but I found the the lack of variation in sound a bit annoying after a while. Better in small doses, probably.

Some nice psyche tinged 60’s pop

This was okay.

Some of these songs are timeless and sound as fresh as comparable sounding melodies written today.

Out of all the Byrds albums I’ve heard so far, this one stands out as my favorite. Their traditional folk rock sound is here, complete with those iconic jangly guitars, but what really caught my attention were the heavy psychedelic elements. The Byrds truly pushed the envelope with studio effects on this album. The innovative production and experimentation are what make this album so impressive and enjoyable for me.

Great songwriting and for that time even greater innovations. Same level as the Beatles.

Enjoyed listening to this album. Have heard individual songs from The Byrds but haven't listened to a full album before!

Шикарный альбом 60х. Ничуть не хуже по экспериментам, чем битлы, на одном дыхании слушается, есть бэнгеры. Кайф

Released in 1967 as the Byrds were among the California bands leading the march to psychedelia and folk/country rock, this had to be a weird album at the time. I could listen to David Crosby sing all day and, while I'm not a huge Byrds fan, there is no disputing the talent in the band and influence on "60s" rock especially in the time of this album. Like this album a lot and there is a LOT of cool, new (at the time) studio effects showcased on this album - weird noises, reverse tape effect, sitar-like stuff. I love this era of rock experimentation - so much creativity at the time - it's incredible to look back at the top studio albums at the time from the Beatles, Byrds and many other geniuses of the time and what they were doing in the analog days. Highlights for me were hits So You Want to Be a Rock and Roll Star and My Back Pages, loved Everybody's Been Burned and Why and Have you Seen Her Face.

The Byrds are like the Beatles if you take the stuff that's interesting about them away. I don't even know how that works.

The most sixties of all sixties bands. You can hear the influences: Beatles, Beach Boys, Bob Dylan, Grateful Dead, psychedelic bands like the 13th Floor Elevators and Pink Floyd. Some beautiful melodic tracks and harmonies but they veer off course into pretentious naval-gazing at times.

3.8

Magnificent - soaring pop genius, with great melodies and psychedelic country experimentation

I dont normally just dosmiss a band or album but Ummmm no, that was a bit boring, wasnt anything special

meh

5/10 Favorite Song: Time Between Younger Than Yesterday contains the building blocks of a fine folk-rock album, but it rarely combines them into anything memorable. They go for jangle, light psychedelia, and twangy country, but most of it is stale. It is competent and well-played, but the songwriting never rises to the level of feeling important. “Time Between” saves itself with a touch of charm and momentum, but most of it falls flat. There is nothing offensive here, just lots of music that seems happy to fade into the background. It is the type of album that you forget while you are listening to it.

A mix between rock, folk and psychedelia. The most UK-sounding US band I've heard so far.

Yeah, just not my cup of tea.

More jangly psychedelic rock that I probably didn’t need to listen to before I die.

This was ok, right up until the track that was backwards (a pet peeve).

Always thought of the Byrds as boring country/folky. But this is really good. A mixture of rocky stuff and pop. Always interesting. And "So you want to be .." is a blistering opening track.

i like The Byrds more when Gram Parsons is involved but this isn't bad, not bad at all. a little bit of country flavor but this is closer to straight psych rock, with some folk rock thrown in. i liked the simpler songs that preview the future of this band the most. deserves to be one of the 1001? maybe

Far out!

2 Byrds albums in 3 days only goes to reconfirm the poor first inpression. This one seemed to have all of the thinness of sound and tweeness, but with added experimentation that doesn't work and general noodling that is redundant.

I know they are super influential to groups like The Beatles. And you can see how their influences pan out in later groups. Still, the songs never hit home for me like some of the groups that followed in their footsteps.

The sound of a certain early era of “rock and roll”. Not lost on me though I don’t love it. BUT - So You Want to be a Rock and Roll Star is a great song to kick off an album with.

Songs I liked: - Have You Seen Her Face - Renaissance Fair - Everybody’s Been Burned - Thoughts and Words

dnf. not my cup of tea but can see the influence on music

The Byrds might be my favorite 60's psychedelic rock band. There's a little bit of everything here: Rock 'n' Roll bravado ("So You Wanna Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star"), a bit of folky pop "Have You Seen Her Face", "Girl With No Name") psychedelia ("Renaissance Faire", "Everyone's Been Burned", "Thoughts and Words"), the country twang of "Time Between" and some experimental edges ("C.T.A. -102").

oh 60s folk rock...

Strong Beatles vibes. Less catchy.

Men dette orker jeg ikke.

i liked this a lot more than the other byrds album! i guess i like that this one is darker and more experimental…the sound mixing was crazy with the binaural side effects, i was thoroughly entertained by the whole affair…chris hillman ASMR channel when… fav tracks: everybody’s been burned; it happens each day; CTA 102

i enjoyed it! i don't find this as interesting or varied as the other byrds album we heard but maybe that's just because the other one is more familiar to me. but this was fun still.

Fine 60's Pop album with a little psychedalia thrown in. It has it's moment. This review if for The Byrds.

Some good vocal harmonies and interesting studio engineering for the time.

A fun listen, you can sense the group is pushing beyond the sunshiney pop rock of the 60s. Good production, sounds killer.

Better than the last Byrds album I had 10 days ago b. Still very Byrdsy. 2.75

2.5

Favorites: Have You Seen Her Face, Everybody’s Been Burned, My Back Pages Not as strong as the last Byrds album this project gave me, but it was pleasant enough. Personally, My Back Pages is much better than the rest of the record as a whole.

Yeah it was fine

Typical 60 th happymusic

some good songs on here but Renaissance Fair might make it to top 5 songs of 1967

Swéét änd shört.

Did not enjoy this one at all. This felt like a beatles/beach boys fever dream. Might have to come back to this one since everyone seems to be rating it so high.

So You Want to Be a Rock 'n' Roll Star 3.7 Have You Seen Her Face 3.8 C.T.A. - 102 3.7 Renaissance Fair 3.8 Time Between 3.6 Everybody's Been Burned 3.5 Thoughts and Words 3.7 Mind Gardens 3.3 My Back Pages 3.9 The Girl with No Name 3.6 Why 3.7 Score: 3.663636364

If The Beatles were a country band

Classic Summer of Love album. The musicality was tight even with the psychadelic stuff mixed in. The vocal harmonies were pleasant to listen to. Sort of a Beach Boys meets the Beatles vibe. It felt a little unpolished at times, like they were sort of figuring things out, but as a whole the album was pretty good.

Very easy and satisfying to listen to. I could happily return to this album multiple times.

This was okay - I feel like I've heard more transformative stuff by The Byrds though, so maybe we'll get that album later?

Þetta var fínt, bara ágætt. Sögulega mikilvægt band og 60's soundið var að blómstra þarna að einhverju leyti. Mér finnst þetta samt svo mikið hippy dippy dæmi að ég gat ekki hlustað marga umganga.

Fínt bítl.

A5, V6.5

Correcto

Initially I was sort of bored with this, feeling like more of the typical 60s folk rock that had brought them to the forefront. But there are a lot of cool little production things, more interesting lyrics, and an interesting development of their sound. The fact that it came out the same year as Sgt. Pepper's still kinda makes it look like a little league swing while the Beatles are blasting homers, but it's still a very cool listen. I'd give it 3.5.

Pretty fun! Lots of imaginitive sounds--could definitely feel it pushing the boundaries of its era.

I hate the Byrds so much. They are literally just the shitty Beatles and don't even pretend to be anything else. Only problem is, The Beatles are actually good and keep evolving to be better. These guys are just content with soulless cash grabs and I'll rate them accordingly.

Such a frustrating album. At the start I was really enjoying it and thought it was a dead cert 4 or even 5 star. Then Mind Gardens came on and I didn’t like it one bit. The rest of the album was decent enough but I never got the enjoyment of the first part of the album back. Top Track - Have You Seen Her Face

60’s rock is so elite and they have a sound all their own, I’m a fan of this record!

Muy buenos y además mejoran a Dylan. Gran año 1967. Tienen oros albumes de gran nivel.

5 stars

Enjoyed this. Classic 60s sound. My Back Pages a standout

Not unpleasant

A good mix of pop, psychedelic rock and folk. Obvious Charlatans reference spotted and I think my favourite track is the Dylan cover.

I’m not sure I’ve ever really listened to their albums, but it’s kind of impossible not to like The Byrds (or at least their early stuff). This album hits a nice spot between pop and psyche with a chilled air. No standouts as such (although the chord changes in ‘Have you seen her face’ are particularly sexy, and maybe the Crosby penned tracks are slightly weaker) but it’s just a really strong all rounder. I like.

Haven't heard a good Byrds project yet

Loved the song writing and the arrangements. Can only imagine being able to see this performed live from front to back.

Brilliant folk rock that does well dipping into different genres. The first half is a bit eclectic, the second half more classic. Bits of electronica that isn't great but brings in horns (opening "So You Want to Be a Rock 'N' Roll Star") and almost steel guitar western ("Time Between"). "Thoughts And Words" an example of getting too experimental. "My Back Pages" more traditional Byrds with pretty harmonizing in chorus.

Yeah, nice.

ok, don't like the background music much, nice vibe tho, like the louder voice than the song in background, probably would listen again- want to be 'so you want to be a rockstar' one; 'have you seen her face' - pretty good, great intro but guitar solo is a bit odd. generally 2/5 I think, first one was good

Perfectly pleasant 60s jangle. Not amazing, but perfectly fine.

Na trenutke fora, na trenutke dosta zvuče kao kopija, ali ono, nisu loši. 3/5, 5.5/10

There's a lot of Byrds and their various members solo work in this list. This is not terrible, it's a bit more psychedelic than some of their folkier albums I've heard already. I think I prefer the Gene Clark written songs from their earlier work.. these tracks didn't resonate too much with me. I had a weird feeling of them sounding unfinished, like some of these songs don't go anywhere and end as soon as you think it's starting to develop. Found it an unsatisfying listen

idk many songs sounded similar

I enjoyed this album very much. Similarly to other Byrds albums I’ve reviewed, to vocal harmonies stand out much beyond everything else. The rest of the songwriting is still great, but the vocals are something else. I especially loved the lyric, “I was so much older then. I’m younger than that now.” It may sound a little silly on a surface level, but it truly makes for beautiful music. This might be my favourite Byrds album.

Enjoyable and very of it's time. The more I listened to it the novelty sort of wore off though. 3⭐️

I try to like these guys, and I want to like them, but their sound is just not for me. Not to mention they often do too many weird things with otherwise decent songs.

I didn't realize David Crosby was in The Byrds.

It’s an okay album. Doesn’t quite hold up next to their piers of the time, but isn’t necessarily bad either. 2.5/5 Probably won’t listen again

Nope

Nice
