Good evening,

What a beautiful album!!
:happy-wavemulticolor:

I had never heard anything from The Zombies and from the first moment I have loved it. Most of its songs are wonderful. Only the last two tracks are a bit below average for me, but this could change with further listening.

Current order:

1- 01 | Care of Cell 44
2- 02 | A Rose for Emily
3- 12 | Time of the Season
4- 09 | This Will Be Our Year
5- 06 | Hung Up on a Dream
6- 08 | I Want Her, She Wants Me
7- 11 | Friends of Mine
8- 05 | Brief Candles
9- 03 | Maybe After He's Gone
10- 04 | Beechwood Park
11- 07 | Changes
12- 10 | Butcher's Tale (Western Front 1914)
