Generally, if you know anything about 60’s rock music, you know the story behind this album. The band name was nothing but a very loose placeholder, and the three main songwriters of the group wrote and performed the songs which comprise the record pretty much as separate entities. The 1960’s and 1970’s allowed for such behavior, and furthermore, bands like these could top the charts with ease if they had enough talent. Buffalo Springfield had already proven it was one of those bands thanks to a great single; now it was time for a classic album. Again, is far from consistent – but considering some of the high-water marks reached here, it doesn’t matter all that much. You are clinically brain dead if four, maybe five of these tracks do not stick in your head for weeks after hearing them, although if all the stars aligned we might have really heard a whopper of a record able to stand tall next to the greats of ’67.
