A (Great).

My first impression was, "They're just copying the Byrds, and I don't even like the Byrds all that much in the first place." But by the time I got to the end of the album, they'd won me over. After a few listens, I've liked it better and better with each pass.

C+ (Okay).

Only their second album, and the guy who could sing already left the band. This might have been a good album with better production; the mix is harsh, with very little mid-range (usually more whiney than rocking, even on the rock tracks).

Highlight: "O, My Soul"
