The album features baroque pop, chamber pop, psychedelic pop and pop-rock styles, with intricate harmonies and catchy melodies. The album was largely ignored when it came out, but later gained recognition as one of the best albums of the 1960s, especially after the hit single "Time of the Season".
The album showcases the Zombies' musical creativity and diversity, with songs ranging from the upbeat "Care of Cell 44" to the dark "Butcher's Tale (Western Front 1914)" to the romantic "This Will Be Our Year".
