The eightieth album: #80 Buffalo Springfield - Buffalo Springfield Again
Before I started listening to this album, I was expecting a collection of country songs. THe presences of Stephen Stills and Neil Young shows this isn't the case and instead we get rock. There's a heavier bass line here than what I've been getting from the Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young supergroup, which makes this sound even harder - and different from what I expected.
There's still quite a bit of folk rock in here and the music moves to country (where are the boundaries, right?), but what strikes me most is how the sound changes more than I'd expect. Just as the different genres are still spinning off at this point, here the album seems to fill several voices and niches, with decent success. While others experimented - the Beatles, for example, had distinct sounds too - it is rare that we get this variety of songs.
