Principal songwriter Gene Clark had left and much like Pink Floyd and Split Enz this meant that the remaining songwriters had to adapt to fill the void.
The result is a mixed bag... but not too mixed. All of the tracks are at least listenable, and there are some straight-up pop gems in here, like the title track and the legitimately brilliant 'eight miles high'. This latter track apparently got banned from radio simply because of the word 'high' featuring in the title. Some other tracks are pretty enough songs, but they mostly just feel like filler. Their cover of 'hey Joe' is really nothing to write home about
