Review - :
{^Younger Than Yesterday} was somewhat overlooked at the time of its release during an intensely competitive era that found {$the Byrds} on a commercial downslide. However, time has shown it to be the most durable of {$the Byrds}' albums, with the exception of {^Mr. Tambourine Man}. {$David Crosby}, {$Roger McGuinn}, and especially {$Chris Hillman} come into their own as songwriters on an eclectic but focused set blending {\folk-rock}, {\psychedelia}, and early {\country-rock}. The sardonic {&"So You Want to Be a Rock & Roll Star"} was a terrific single; {&"My Back Pages,"} also a small hit, was the last of their classic {$Dylan} covers; {&"Thoughts and Words"} was a flower-power anthem {&"Renaissance Fair,"} {&"Have You Seen Her Face,"} and the {\bluegrass}-tinged {&"Time Between"} are all among their best songs. The jazzy {&"Everybody's Been Burned"} may be {$Crosby}'s best composition, although {&"Mind Gardens"} is one of his most excessive. [The CD reissue has six bonus tracks, including the fine {$Crosby}-penned single {&"Lady Friend,"} and notably different alternate versions of {&"Mind Gardens"} and {&"My Back Pages."}] ~ Richie Unterberger, All Music Guide
