专辑介绍

by Bruce Eder & Richie Unterberger

This is one hell of a debut album, especially for a group that only lasted for about a year after its release. The Leaves perform some superb folk-rock in a Byrds/Beatles vein (&Just a Moment,& &Girl From the East&), excellent lyrical garage punk (&Words,& &Tobacco Road&), and solid hard rock (&Hey Joe,& &Too Many People&), and cross swords with the Rolling Stones (&You Better Move On,& &Back On the Avenue& -- the latter a ripoff of the Stones' &2120 South Michigan Avenue&) and Bob Dylan (&Love Minus Zero&). The sound isn't exactly consistent, given the gamut of influences at work here, from Bo Diddley (&Dr. Stone&) to primitive psychedelia (&War of Distortion&), but there isn't a bad song on the disc, and the CD reissue has about the best sound ever heard on this material, bringing out the guitars in a genuinely crisp and vivid fashion. Maybe the strangest and best track in that regard is their cover of &He Was a Friend of Mine,& which incorporates elements of both the Searchers' &When You Walk In the Room& and the Byrds' &I'll Feel a Whole Lot Better& into its structure and beat -- the guitars are a real kick there. The bonus tracks may have come from vinyl sources rather than tape, but they hold up very well for sound quality. Anyone who enjoyed the first two Byrds albums must own this disc.
