5.0 out of 5 stars A multicolored flash of light over the rainbow, July 28, 2005

By	CARMELO HERNANDEZ RAMOS (Alicante. Spain. Europe.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The Hollies comes in colours. Still a masterpiece of the psychedelic catalogue, this album is one of the most beautiful flowers of the english garden. A breeze of fresh air in the magic summer of love.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great bonus songs & remastering make it worth your while, June 2, 2002

By	JR Hercules (Somewheres, United States) - See all my reviews

"Evolution", like all the Hollies' lps, has it's share of filler and fluff. Nobody but the most diehard Hollies fan would really want to listen to "Ye Olde Toffee Shoppe" or "Lullaby To Tim", and "Rain On The Window" is just a less successful remake of their earlier "Bus Stop".

However, I'm pleased to report that the other seven songs from this US-version "Evolution" re-release are all very solid, enjoyable tunes, particulary "Then The Heartaches Begin", "Heading For a Fall", and of course, the hit, "Carrie-Anne".

Sundazed has also included five very good rare Hollies tracks ("rare" except for "Jennifer Eccles", of course.) "When Your Lights Turn On", in especially good.

Recommended to fans of sixties pop who are thirsting for something good beyond what they might already be familiar with.

4.0 out of 5 stars Irresistable Pop, January 29, 2001

By	"ogdensgoneflake" (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews

I don't have many Hollies albums but if they are as good as this they are a great band that is over looked here in the USofA. This is a cacthy little album with some great songs on it. My personal favorites are Carrie-Anne, Lullaby To Tim and Games We Play. However all the songs are pleasent to listen to. The songs all gel together nicely which works aganist the album because if you don't listen carfully they can all blend in together on the first few listens but give it a try and you'll be greatly rewarded with a pop masterpiece. This version leaves off Leave Me from the British version (which has many more bonus tracks) so I guess your better off getting that one than this US version.
