Revolver-like — but maybe better??
It is fabulous.
One tends to think of things like
Revolver,
Something Else, and
Village Green as being master classes in expanded-mind yet concise songwriting. I think
Younger Than Yesterday is right up there. Other Byrds albums too, but they are more hit and miss and/or more in the "early" vein (mind not quite as expanded).
