The latest in the Around and Around “Reviled!” series is The Byrds “Byrdmaniax.” 1971. (FOLLOW THE LINK TO REVIEW) The same year as ‘Cahoots’ but considerably less interesting. The band was winding down, this wasn’t quite the end of the road but pretty near. Some blame Terry Melcher’s bloated over-production, done without the band’s consent. More likely they were running out of ideas. It’s not like “Let It Be – Naked” – there isn’t a great album hidden behind those strings waiting to escape the overproduction.
