The ninety-fourth album: #94 The Byrds - Younger Than Yesterday
Today's stop on this tour of sixties rock drops us off with folk/country rock, the Byrds including some psychedelia in their music but staying true to those roots. C.T.A.-102 is a revelation in that sense - having a standard folk riff that involves weird sound effects and an alien invading the song about a minute and a half in. I'm not quite sure what happens, but it shows that there is more to this album than might seem at first.
It nicely interrupts the easy listening songs. They're nicely put together, easy to listen to, a bit sentimental but suitable for the album. Then songs like that heighten the stakes, showing they're aware of what's out there and not avoiding it.
