Rated 4/10

Laid so far back it's cracked its head on the floor.

Everybody's Talkin' is a great song, but Nilsson's version is much better.

"This shit belongs in the background in a Wes Anderson movie" some fucker said that like it's a bad thing. His soundtracks are the best part of his movies!

Like Wes Anderson, this album isn't my very favourite, but I liked it a lot.

I hear the Byrds comparisons, unfortunately they are hit-and-miss for me, as is this album.

I'm continually baffled by people thinking they have to listen to several hours of bonus tracks included on the album on streaming. Just look up the original track listing, surely?

I loved the krautrockesque You'll Have to Go Sideways, I'd have preferred a whole album of that to the Byrds imitations.

It's not bad, but Mick Jagger saying this was better than Sticky Fingers is crazy talk.

Whiskey Woman is the standout for me.

The "You don't see Bill Gates and Donald Trump arguing with each other" line has aged poorly, but it shows how hip hop used to engage with politics. Hip hop has changed.

I love Little Wing and If 6 was 9, but this has always been a step below Are You Experienced and Electric Ladyland for me. Judging from my last.fm, I've listened to both of those 3x as much as this album.
