Younger Than Yesterday

I gave the first song a listen and got a general glimpse of it. There's something about this era of rock'n'roll that I just don't connect with. From the 60's I prefer jazz and soul, but 60's rock it's too often a no-go. Everything changed and evolved so much during the 70's that it feels whole eras apart.

This was okay. Nothing special, nothing stand out.

Quintessential sixties music. Short poppy songs

Suena como Beatles pero más ácidos... Nada nuevo que aportar.

started strong ended weak, could not stick to a single theme

The Byrds used common 60s methods like backwards guitar riffs in the album but they all just felt wrong. A few songs sounded like what a headache feels like.

So so

What the fuck is the ending on cta -102. It was okay and weird. Definitely sounded like the time it was produced. Won't revisit, didn't think it was anything spectacular. 3/8.

Didn't feel this one. Really at all

No lo escuché entero porque no me gustó mucho

Folk rock really doesn't stick to me but I appreciate it

1. ztar - 0 2. face - 1 3. cta - 1 4. fair - 1 5. time - 1 6. burned - 1 7. uuordz - 1 8. mind- 2 9. pagez - 1 10. name - 1 11. uuhy - 0 12. day - 1

not a fan, didnt even finish the album I guess this was where the beetles got their sound but .. yeah, no

Nope, never again.

Pretty groovy, great album to dance to! Fav song is ‘Have You Seen Her Face’.

< the Beatles

2/3 Boring

Enough of this band

Tää kuulosti vanhalta musalta jopa ollaakseen 60-luvun lopulta. Ei kyllä tämmönen uppoo yhtään, osin varmaan ku faija luukutteli lapsuudessa suunnilleen jotain tän tyylistä paskaa, niin sisäinen kapinahenki nostaa päätään.

it's as byrdsy as you'd expect given how much byrds are on this list ENOUGH

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?

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.

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

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.

woooo more 60s slop

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

What a lame piece of crap. Folk pop that the Byrds can happily do without. If "so you want to be a rock 'n' roll star" is really meant to be a reference to the Monkeys, congratulations, they did it much better. For me this album is a boring waste of time. Perhaps the album had a certain significance at the time it was made, I can't see it today. The album is absolutely dispensable. Thank god they have a few other, much better works

If there’s one thing this list has taught me it’s that I hate the fucking Byrds. How a band got so huge off of mediocre Dylan covers I’ll never know.

fucking wierd, did not like

Standard

1967. Experimental. 1/5

I found this a painful listen. It is stereotypical 60s psychedelic at its cheesiest. Never been a Byrds fan and I am definitely not one after this album.

Boring...

this is not a joke I will keep them safe every member of the byrds i am not joking i am serious i am stalking them I will do it to them I hate it NNN

Tried to go to sleep while listening to this one. no can do. it be a nightmare though? Maybe i WAS asleep? Edit listened twice just to make sure i truly was awake. I was

Same with the young bloods. Too 60s, not interested at all. Even less interested than in the young bloods bc they do that group sing thing.

Appreciated some of the psychedelic touches, but mainly a pretty flat album

Apart from a few interesting songs, this project did not strike me as interesting at all.

Some of these songs are good, and although I've tried, I just generally don't like The Byrds very much. Too twangy folky for me. Very skilled musicians and they had quite an influence on their contemporaries as well as countless bands that followed. Just a matter of personal preference. Not my thing.

Maybe there are not 1001 decent albums

This album has a near 60 year legacy and I doubt I’ll remember anything about it after 6 minutes.

Hearing stuff like this really drives home how much the Beatles were in a league of their own

Trash.

I feel like the last 10 albums have been from this time period. This may not help my review of this one.

not for me...

Personal preference, but there is nothing appealing about the sound of the 60's. If you're into that, though, then man is this album for you. It was a boring slog to get through this entire album.

It doesn’t really do anything, does it? The first few seconds set out the stall for the rest of the album and it doesn’t go anywhere else. I dunno if this is meant to be a concept record of some sort, but listening through twice I couldn’t hear any theme or reason. Anyway, this isn’t ‘bad’ but it’s not my kind of thing. If I could sum it up with an emoji, it would be this… ⬜️

The title of the last song from the original release (“Why”) sums up this album for me. It’s somewhere around a 1.5, but rounding down because if it’s already that bad, you don’t get any bonus chips.

Didn’t finish. Snooze fest

soft rock The Byrds - Everybody's Been Burned favourite song

Similar to some albums of yesterday, a tone-hungry list of songs that raises little interest

Would have liked their “Best of album 💿” but not one of the songs on this one inspired any reason to listen. They are great musicians but not this album and I turned & turned to the next songs

Boring

Enjoyed

A bit odd, not in a pink Floyd pushing the boundaries way

A Crosby, Stills & Nash's dispassionate-handjob to The Beach Boys type album 1.7

Second boring Byrds recommendation in a week, clearly the algorithm hates us

Disco del monton del hipie rock

I think 3 songs were decent. Most of them weren’t great. And Mind Gardens was one of the worst none troll songs I’ve ever heard.

Too folky for me
