Active compensatory factors: This was their debut album in the year of Sgt. Pepper, which just goes to show what an interesting year for music 1967 was.

There are some strong songs on the album. Apart from the clear stand-out (Buy for me the Rain), there are a couple by Jackson Browne who was briefly associated with the band before this album was recorded: an instrumental (Dismal Swamp), and Song to Jutta (which sounds like The Byrds).
There are also a number of songs using old-timey vaudeville style vocals which just don't work for me.
Where do they all belong? A good start for the band and a handy album from the year of Sgt. Pepper.
