Title: Those were the days!
Product review: It was great fun for me to rediscover this rock classic. On my first listening, the quality of the vocals and instrumental work, then as now, left me wondering why this group was rarely considered to be among the top groups of its time. A second listening left me with the idea that the group's enjoyable but somewhat shallow lyrics kept them out of the top league.Hijinx and Straight On (for You) are good examples of how the group sometimes picked a catchy phrase, repeated it a lot, embellished it a bit, and called it a song. With the talent and energy the group brought to the studio the results were often amazing, as witnessed by songs such as Crazy On You, (probably) from their debut album.Enough of the negative and back to the title. This is a great album -- well worth 4 stars.
