Listened to the "Remastered" version. To me, sometimes the mixing was harsh (flutes or woodwind instruments were too loud vs rest of band). Guitar portions of songs like the title track and Freedom Rider were excellent. I really enjoyed this album.

This album sounds a little too friendly. I subscribe to the idea that every song on this album would be perfectly suited for a breakfast cereal or coffee commercial. This album isn't for me. I like later Beatles albums better.

As a first-time listen, the singles and top-hits of this album (Everyday, Suedehead) really carry the water of this album. On a superficial level, this is not an album I would likely revisit. While I can appreciate some of the distinctive instrumentals of this album, this album helped me identify that the "mope rock" genre is not for me.
