Album Notes & Community Reviews

Recorded as the manufactured pop phenomenon was actively attempting to assert total creative control, this eclectic album is characterized by wildly divergent individual recording sessions. While boasting the massive, universally beloved hit 'Daydream Believer', the record also delves into sophisticated studio psychedelia and moody baroque arrangements.
