About
If <i>Fifth Dimension</i> is The Byrds' <i>Revolver</i>, then the follow-up, <i>Younger Than Yesterday</i>, is their <i>Sgt. Pepper</i>. While songs like "Eight Miles High" were the band's entry point into psychedelia, <i>YTY</i> is a full-blown head trip. <i>C.T.A.-102</i> is a tune about alien life, replete with spacy electronic effects. Backward tapes add a disorienting feel to the dreamy "Thoughts and Words" and the Eastern-influenced "Mind Gardens," and trippy lyrics abound throughout the album. But tracks like the country-rocker "Time Between" and the harmony-heavy Dylan cover "My Back Pages" keep the band in touch with their rootsy side.
