Treeline

Higher than 49% of albums we've rated

The Zombies' debut showcases strong melodies and innovative arrangements but lacks full cohesion in later tracks.

What we noticed

• — The album opens with the hit 'She’s Not There', establishing a strong melodic hook that recurs throughout.
• — Tracks feature lush arrangements with prominent use of strings and harmonies, particularly in songs like 'Tell Her No' and 'You Make Me Feel So Good'.

Significant within its genre. Reported but not counted — how far a record travelled describes its reception rather than the record, and a newer release has had less time to travel than an older one.
