Goin' Back, Wasn't Born To Follow, and Change Is Now are probably my top three.

This is a solid 5 for me, I didn't like them at all, first but the album grew on me, definitely a classic in my opinion, and stronger than Younger than yesterday, but both albums are great.



I'm actually surprised the rating isn't higher, as this is a folk rock gem

yeah it's great, love the country influence too (even though it's more subtle than sweetheart of the rodeo)

Draft Morning has such a breezy vibe, too bad it has all those over-the-top war effects in the middle.

Goin' Back might be one of the most sincere and touching songs for me.



And while I love Draft Morning I do agree with the sound effects really getting in the way of all that beauty.

Yeah it’s got this crazy sort of sonic weave to it that’s perfect. Doesnt /really/ sound like it but in overall effect the parts that aren’t the War Sounds Part sorta remind me of nicks’ fleetwood songwriting contributions

I think I didn't share it here yet, but the vocalist from The Clientele with the Argentian band Hacia dos Veranos did a pretty good job on a cover of Draft Morning.



It was really nice when I knew that the man actually did a Byrds cover, because I always felt strong Byrdsy vibes on The Clientele music, which is probably why I love it too.



Anyway, here it is:
