Here we have the second Byrds album i've listened to. A bit of a departure from their debut folk rock album, "Fifth Dimension" was their journey into the world of psychedelic rock. The guys sounded as good as they did the first time around but this time some of their songs were more trippy and space-age. I like the dark tone of the lyrics in the song "I Come And Stand At Every Door", which is adapted from a poem by Nazim Hikmet about a girl who died in the Hiroshima bombing pleading for war to end. The instrumental "Captain Soul" was great, it sounds like something Jimi Hendrix would play. Good stuff. 4/5.
Tracks I enjoyed the most: I Come And Stand At Every Door, Captain Soul, John Riley, Mr. Spaceman and Why.
