Reviews
Ranked #171 in Rolling Stone's "The 500 Greatest Albums of All Time", 4 1/2 stars (out of 5) - "...exhibits their overt country leanings....evoking hope and uncertainty, familiarity and daunting strangeness. Those combinations make NOTORIOUS a brilliant window onto an unforgettable place and time.", "...Seamless, multi-textured and remarkably coherent given the fractious circumstances of its recording, THE NOTORIOUS BYRD BROTHERS is a fascinating portrait of a band at the height of its powers...", "...finally captures the album's spatial wistfulness and is recommended for fans of the strings-and-things indie rock of Eric Matthews..." - Rating: A, 4 stars out of 5 -- "They seemed to be surging forward, experimenting with electronic psychedelia and country, and paying tribute to nature and the nascent hippie culture."
