I've always been kind of lukewarm on this album, and not totally sure why it's considered their best (or one of their best). I think the two Goffin/King songs are easily the best things here, but after that it gets a bit messy. With Gene Clark and now David Crosby out of the band, McGuinn and Hillman are forced to do a lot of the heavy lifting and I'm not that crazy about them as songwriters. The aforementioned Goffin/King songs and "Draft Morning" are the highlights for me. 3.5 stars.
