Bee Gees, Horizontal (side A)

No matter the era of the Bee Gees that I'm discussing, subtle is not usually the first word that comes to mind. But, it somehow makes sense when discussing 1968's Horizontal. When compared with 1st or Idea, which came immediately before and after it, the songs are just a bit more delicate and, for lack of a better word, artful—even "Massachusetts" is worlds away from "In My Own Time" or "I've Gotta Get a Message to You". The arrangements are beautiful, the vocals of course sound great, and I still can't figure out how the camera isn't visible in the mirror on the cover.
