Very Best of the 5th Dimension
Date undefinedI've only heard a few songs by 5th dimension before, but I loved those; they were on this album, and I like the rest, too. If you have heard their music and like it, you won't be disappointed with this CD.
Very Best of the 5th Dimension
Date undefinedThe songs I really like and was interested were in the first half of the CD. The others were only so, so. I did get the songs I wanted and will enjoythem.

Date undefinedMajor proto-ABBAists, popcult daytrippers, black EZ for fems, the 5th Dimension did a corporate Byrds amalgam groove equal parts Vegas, Motown and Woodstock. Many of their singles thump tougher than the ubernotorious hits, so don't be shy. The two-CD comp Definitive Collection is all you'll need. High queen kitsch, indefatigable day-glo grooviness. Significantly, The 5th Dimension provide a high-calorie introduction to Laura Nyro (8 tunes, 7 featured here) - a delightfully disembodied turn-of-the-screw. Even (some of the) songs by schlockmeister Jimmy Webb percolate along with quirk ("Everybody says I'm quite insane, and someday I'll be going down the drain; I know they're right - but I feel no pain!"). Mercifully, there's no Dylan or Beatle covers! iPod essentials: "California Soul" (utopian groove), "Go Where You Wanna Go" (silicone folkrock) "Puppet Man" (Dusty Springfield softcore), "Paper Cup" (Sinatraesque debauch), "Blackpatch" (with naughty emphasis on the "lipstick on her reefer" line), "Up Up And Away" (oral heaven), and, of course, "Aquarius" (In-A-Gadda-Da-Muzak with an Otis Redding outro). Upper anthems, done swinging.
