Fifth Dimension is a bizarre album. The song topics vary from alternative dimensions to alien visitors to a young girl who died in Hiroshima to a lear jet. Bizarre indeed! However, it is nice to listen to something other than sappy songs about high school love. And even a love song like John Riley is worth listening to. The music is melodic, dynamic and energetic.
This is an album that takes time to get used to. It's worth listening to. The stand out songs are: 5D (Fifth Dimension), Wild Mountain Thyme, Mr. Spaceman, Wild Mountain Thyme, I Come and Stand at Every Door, Eight Miles High, Hey Joe (Where You Gonna Go), Captain Soul and John Riley.
The Byrds have improved since Mr. Tambourine Man. I still don't like their how they sing. They sound smug or smarmy or something. However, their music and lyrics are quite interesting and enjoyable.
★★★★★★★★☆☆
