About: Byrdmaniax

An Entity of Type: album, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Byrdmaniax is the tenth album by the American rock band the Byrds. It was released in June 1971 on Columbia Records at a time of renewed commercial and critical success for the band, due to the positive reception that their two previous albums, Ballad of Easy Rider and (Untitled), had received. The album was the second by the Byrds to feature the Roger McGuinn, Clarence White, Gene Parsons, and Skip Battin line-up of the band and was mostly recorded in early 1971, while the band were in the midst of an exhausting tour schedule. As a result, the band had little time to hone their new songs before recording commenced and thus, much of the material on the album is underdeveloped. Byrdmaniax was poorly received upon release, particularly in the United States, and did much to undermine the Byrd

  • Byrdmaniax ist das zehnte Musikalbum der US-amerikanischen Folk-Rock-Band The Byrds. Es erschien am 23. Juni 1971 auf dem Label Columbia Records. Nachdem die Byrds sich mit Ballad of Easy Rider und (Untitled) wieder von dem Misserfolg des von Fans und Kritikern gleichermaßen schlecht aufgenommenen Dr. Byrds & Mr. Hyde erholt hatten, erlaubten sie sich mit Byrdmaniax einen weiteren Flop. In den Vereinigten Staaten erreichte das Album #46 der Pop-Charts, aus denen es sich recht schnell wieder verabschiedete, in Großbritannien kam es nicht zu einem Charteintritt des Albums. Die schlechten Kritiken und Verkaufszahlen hatte das Album wohl den orchestralen Arrangements und dem Gospelchor zu verdanken, die Produzent Terry Melcher und Arrangeur dem Album beimischten, und im Gegensatz zu den eher sparsam instrumentierten früheren Alben der Band standen. Zwei Singles wurden vom Album ausgekoppelt, die beide sowohl in Großbritannien als auch in den Staaten an den Charts scheiterten. Im Mai kam I Trust (Everything Is Gonna Work Alright) mit der B-Seite This Is My Destiny auf den Markt (beide Titel wurden auf dem Albumcover gekürzt und heißen dort nur I Trust und My Destiny) und am 20. August erschien Glory, Glory mit Citizen Kane als B-Seite. (de)

As a result, the band had little time to hone their new songs before recording commenced and thus, much of the material on the album is underdeveloped. Byrdmaniax was poorly received upon release, particularly in the United States, and did much to undermine the Byrds' new-found popularity. The album peaked at #46 on the Billboard Top LPs chart but failed to reach the UK Albums Chart. The song "I Trust (Everything Is Gonna Work Out Alright)" was released as a preceding single on May 7, 1971 in the United Kingdom but it did not chart. A second single taken from the album, "Glory, Glory", was released on August 20, 1971 and reached #110 on the Billboard chart, but again, the single failed to reach the UK chart. Byrdmaniax remains one of the Byrds most poorly received album releases, largely due to the incongruous addition of strings, horns, and a gospel choir which were overdubbed onto the songs by producer Terry Melcher and arranger Paul Polena, reportedly without the band's consent.

  • Byrdmaniax est le dixième album studio du groupe américain de rock The Byrds. Il est sorti en 1971 sur le label Columbia Records. C'est le deuxième album enregistré par le quatuor de Roger McGuinn, Clarence White, Gene Parsons et Skip Battin. Les Byrds bénéficient alors d'un regain de popularité après le succès de leurs précédents disques, Ballad of Easy Rider et (Untitled), mais les nombreux concerts qu'ils doivent assurer ne leur laissent pas le temps de préparer adéquatement leur album suivant. Leur producteur Terry Melcher décide d'y ajouter des arrangements orchestraux et un chœur gospel, apparemment à leur insu. À sa sortie, Byrdmaniax se classe no 46 des ventes aux États-Unis, mais il reçoit des critiques négatives dans la presse musicale américaine, notamment à cause des ajouts de Melcher. Il reste considéré comme l'un des pires albums de la discographie du groupe. (fr)
