Claude says:The Zombies arrived late to the '60s party with this 1968 masterpiece—orchestral pop arrangements wrapping around Rod Argent's baroque sensibilities and Colin Blunstone's wistful vocals—and you keep returning to "This Will Be Our Year," that gorgeous piece of melancholy optimism that somehow sounds both of its moment and timeless. Seven plays across fourteen years isn't heavy rotation, but it's the kind of album that doesn't need to be—it lands when it lands, and when it does, it feels like discovering something precious that was always there.
