Buffalo Springfield Again is the second album by the American rock band Buffalo Springfield, released in 1967. The album is widely regarded as a masterpiece of 60s rock and features a mix of folk, rock, and country styles, as well as complex arrangements and innovative production techniques.
The album opens with “Mr. Soul,” a powerful and driving rocker that showcases the band’s signature sound, with its tight harmonies, jangly guitars, and political undertones. Other standout tracks include “Expecting to Fly,” a haunting and ethereal ballad that features lush orchestration and intricate vocal harmonies, and “Bluebird,” a catchy folk-rock tune that showcases Stephen Stills’ songwriting and guitar skills.
The album also features the hit single “For What It’s Worth,” which has become an anthem of the 1960s protest movement, with its catchy guitar riff and lyrics that speak to the social and political upheaval of the time.
Buffalo Springfield Again is also notable for its experimentation with production techniques, such as the use of backwards guitar on “Broken Arrow” and the use of a tape loop on “Everydays.”
