The Hollies comes in colours. Still a masterpiece of the psychedelic catalogue, this album is one of the most beautiful flowers of the english garden. A breeze of fresh air in the magic summer of love.
Great bonus songs & remastering make it worth your while June 3, 2002

"Evolution", like all the Hollies' lps, has it's share of filler and fluff. Nobody but the most diehard Hollies fan would really want to listen to "Ye Olde Toffee Shoppe" or "Lullaby To Tim", and "Rain On The Window" is just a less successful remake of their earlier "Bus Stop".
However, I'm pleased to report that the other seven songs from this US-version "Evolution" re-release are all very solid, enjoyable tunes, particulary "Then The Heartaches Begin", "Heading For a Fall", and of course, the hit, "Carrie-Anne".
Sundazed has also included five very good rare Hollies tracks ("rare" except for "Jennifer Eccles", of course.) "When Your Lights Turn On", in especially good.
Recommended to fans of sixties pop who are thirsting for something good beyond what they might already be familiar with.

I don't have many Hollies albums but if they are as good as this they are a great band that is over looked here in the USofA. This is a cacthy little album with some great songs on it. My personal favorites are Carrie-Anne, Lullaby To Tim and Games We Play. However all the songs are pleasent to listen to. The songs all gel together nicely which works aganist the album because if you don't listen carfully they can all blend in together on the first few listens but give it a try and you'll be greatly rewarded with a pop masterpiece. This version leaves off Leave Me from the British version (which has many more bonus tracks) so I guess your better off getting that one than this US version.

The Hollies unique vocal stylings are never more predominate than on this reissue of their early 1967 album. Not as coherent as it should be, this album still has some merit for anyone seeking a british vocal "fix". "Carrie-Anne" and "Rain on The Window" are bolth great cuts. Not too sweet, but the sugar is definitley present. "Heading for a Fall" is a great example as to how to make a 2 minute song be so catchy. The bonus tracks are all pretty good, and Sundazed, as usual, did a primo job with the stereo remastering. Of note is the very drug influenced song "Open Up Your Eyes", which, although not predating any of the huge acts of the day, was significant to the groups attempt at doing musically different things. This album is aptly titled for their next few releases saw major changes in bolth the orchestration and singing arrangements. Is second only to the "King Midas In Reverse/Dear Eloise" album Sundazed also puts out. Go there and then come here.
Posiblemente el mejor album de los Hollies October 2, 2000
1 out of 5 found this review helpful
Me parece increíble que nadie haya escrito un comentario sobre este álbum, aparecido en junio del 67', el mismo mes que el famoso Stg. Pepper, lo que puede explicar por que Evolution, como tantos otros discos aparecidos en la misma época sea tan poco conocido.El título del disco es bastante apropiado, comparandolo con su anterior trabajo For Certain Because aparecido a fines de 1966. Muy influenciados por la sicodelia, partiendo por la colorida portada, los Hollies comienzan a incorporar nuevos instrumentos y efectos sonoros en sus temas, así como distorsión en las guitarras y voces, junto a breves pero eficientes arreglos orquestales. En una época de gran experimentación y búsqueda sonora, los Hollies no abandonan el formato Pop en sus temas, logrando excelentes melodias en Stop right There, Heading for a fall o The games we play, así como en Water on the brain o Lullaby to tim, las cuales incorporan excelentes efectos sonoros. Esta es la edición del disco aparecido en E.E.U.U, con 5 temas extras, dejando afuera del original solo Leave me. Aunque no muy apreciado en su momento, éste es uno de los grandes discos Beat sicodélicos ingleses de los años 60'. De toda la discografía del grupo,tan solo Butterfly, su siguiente disco también del 67' puede competir con este.
