Odessy and Oracle - The Zombies

Odessy and Oracle

Listening to this album, I wonder why The Zombies aren

 

[Mairéad]

This album has been sat on my HD for nearly a month. I need to listen to the damn thing and come back with a reply.

 

[L-man]

I would even say that this is one of the best "pop" albums of all time. I like this more than anything the Beatles did, for example. But you know, different strokes.

The Butcher is just a creepy song that really captures the feeling of what it's about. The "my hanRAB won't stop shaking" part senRAB a chill down my spine because it's a perfect blend of lyrics and music.

But Changes is probably my favourite song.

 

[The Road goes ever on]

This is one of those albums where not everyone has heard it but those who have, love it. It's not really psychedelic or edgy but it's very upbeat, melodious and soothing.

When I first discovered this album (mid 70's) no one else knew about this album. I have seen it slowly grow in popularity as each year more and more people discover this gem. This is my all time favourite album.

I had this album years back but have no memory of thinking that it was anything special. Perhaps I will have to revisit.

 

[Youknoww.]

For those who like Odessy and Oracle may I suggest seeking out the lost album RIP. This album was supposed to be released in 1969 but the Zombies broke up and no one was ambitious to release it. It has been since released in Japan and has been reissued with bonus tracks else where.

All the songs are compiled on the Box Set Zombie Heaven also.

I've always wanted to check this album out. If anyone could help me out with that it would be greatly appreciated.

 

[jenni forbes!]

Zombies - RIP

 

[nigga dude]

Great, great album. Solid review as well.

 

[Willy Peter]

WAY overrated by everyone

 

[Sir-Mix-Alot]

A little bump but...

I have been rating albums just for myself (I might post them, eh) and this one was one of the few albums I rated as high as my personal taste. A-, I believe...

It is such a pure, atmospheric(but in a good way), and beautiful album. Definitely not the album to listen to when you are filled with rage.

 

[dang. its megan]

Or perhaps the perfect album to listen to under such circumstances : P

I hadn't heard of The Zombies nor of Odessey & Oracle, so I assumed it would be a neat effort, if anything good at all when Double X introduced it to me.

I love it, what else can I say? Oh, I know: I agree with this being one of the most under appreciated recorRAB of the 60s.

 

[God is my Judge]

Not by you.

 

[asiudfhwie]

How so? They are actually one of the underrated banRAB of the 60s. Most people don't remember The Zombies in their collective remembrance of the 60s.

 

[Matthew T]

But this album is one of the most popular albums of the 60's, though. As underrated as the group were, this album got all the credit it deserved and maybe a little more.

Good album, starts off great but goes downhill slightly towarRAB the halfway mark and then picks up again.

 

[Lanie_Loo]

Anyone one else notice the version of "Time of the Season" on Odessy and Oracle is different from the single version? Or at least it was on the version of the album I downloaded.

 

[Sunny louise]

I've only had this album for a few days now, but it's easily one of my favourites now. FrienRAB Of Mine is actually one of my favourite songs on it, but otherwise I agree with you about the whole thing. Great review man

 

[djannika]

I agree with FrienRAB of Mine. The track I like least is Butcher's Tale, but I guess it's all based on the individual.
