Reviews (page 9 of 9)

Great psych-rock album with some super slick gospel/soul harmonies. Mixed slightly muddy/dark. 8/10

Actually much preferred this to his work with the Byrds, sound felt more fleshed out and realized. Very enjoyable.

reminds me of neil young :)

Good stuff

The first song was great but it went downhill pretty quickly. I wasn't a huge fan.

I really got a kick out of this - fun old folk rock imo! Guitar sounds were great. Would love to hear a band at a rural dive bar cover these tunes. First half was especially good, second half faded into the background, but was delightful musically. It would get a 3 or 3.5 if I'm being objective, but it is a 4 because I'm not.

Semibängeri Classic rock emt

Not for me

An above average album, the story of it being a “lost” and ultimately discovered and reevaluated years later is the most interesting aspect of it. Solid from top to bottom, I think calls for it being a “overlooked masterpiece” are a little much. Great production that fits with its era, hits of a Neil Young influence, and should have never been any kind of failure. 3.75/4

Listened at work, not properly since volume was low enough but enough to know it was a solid album

Honestly never really heard of this record. Outside of my typical listening but really enjoyed

Country :(

Already a great album in my mind. It's a very warm, inviting record in a way; there's so much life in the music - from the moving guitar solos that genuinely add to the emotion of the songs, to the beautiful melodic basslines. The backing vocals that weave in and out add a layered warmth to the mood of it and Gene Clark has such a captivating voice. His lyrics seem very evocative, occasionally impressionistic maybe (?), but seem to have real depth and vulnerability to them. Lots of natural imagery and, on one listen, seem very forthright about the 'troughs' of life, especially when pleasure is sought to excess, whilst capturing the beauty too. Never nihilistic. I just want to explore deeper.

3rd and 4th song were actually pretty good, don’t know if I can say much ab the rest 🤠

No No No

i’m sorry i just yknow

Bit boren, unambitious innit

Very calm and good background music to relax to. Sounded like the Eagles with a bit more country influence.

What a hidden gem this album is. Also ahead of its time.

Eric Clapton with a banjo. Loved the big bass lines throughout, especially on No Other and Silver Phial.

Pretty good folk/prog rock mix, I like it a lot.

No Other Some misunderstanding

Not my favorite genre of music but it was en enjoyable listen

You're trying to convince me this isn't Neil Young? Good Luck...

Pretty good, nice sound and good voice.

Not bad, gave me sort of a country vibe. If I'm looking for cruising tunes, this is a great album.

Great album. Psychedelic folk/rock

Tämähän oli mainio uusi tuttavuus. Country/folkia todella modernilla otteella ollakseen vuodelta 1974. Osassa biiseissä vähän liigan gospelfiilistä mutta ehdottomasti jatkoon ja lisäkuunteluun.

Fuck this album gets me rocc hard

Boomer Music

Has some good moments.

Not too bad

It just wasn't the right day for it

Had no idea what to expect. Nice, easy listening. The best song on the album is Silver Raven

Boring, every song the same.

I wasn’t familiar with the artist but I did enjoy the album.

Silver Raven really good and haunting. Lady of the North has really interesting function sections in otherwise standard country rock ballad. No Other is just good 70s rock. Strong, thoughtful lyrics throughout.

Not bad, not great, I'll definitely check him out tho

This album scratches an itch for sure. Rockin’ soulful country reminds of Neil Young, with some folky psychedelia and George Harrison vibes thrown in for good measure. A+ for me.

Pretty good listen. Smooth but I enjoyed it.

I really liked it, got grateful dead vibes, I appreciate that the songs were distinct (sometimes albums can sound like one song). will probably listen again

The first and third track are pretty good. It's got really crisp and clean production, got a nice blend of folk, rock and very early indie rock. If this released in the 80s without such a high budget this probably wouldve sold extremely well.

The tragic backstory of this album is more interesting than the album itself, in my opinion. Not bad by any means but not my thing. Solid 3 on the Blood and Chocolate Scale ™

Very enjoyable album

great album. some country songs, but overall great listening.

not like repeat

7/10 im not a lot into old songs but this one hits diff

Nice and folky but just more background music for me. Wasn’t blown away by any of it.

Like some of his stuff, but this one didn’t grab me after 3 songs.

Was new to me. Felt dated but not horrible

Behagelig Countryrock, med lidt psykedeliske undertoner

i just finished the album and i already forgot how it sounds

A good balance of genres here. I enjoyed listening, but nothing really stood out to me. I'll give it a 3.5, leaning towards a 3.

Great, well produced country album. Standout Tracks: Silver Raven, From a Silver Phial, True One, Lady of the North

Progressive country... really good. One to explore further!
