Horizontal (studio album) by Bee Gees

Cualquier disco que contenga maravillas como Massachusetts o World merece toda la atención.

I agree with Mecca below, their reputation as a disco band really overshadowed all of the amazing albums and singles they had in the 60s. This is my favorite of theirs, and I especially like Earnest of Being George

The enormous success of Saturday Night Fever has made the BeeGees synonymous with disco. In the beginning, the trio of Gibb brothers were a 60s psych pop group. Characterized by their beautiful voices and a sense of melodrama, Horizontal has become my personal favorite of that era of their careers. The detailed arrangements are far less predictable than the standard contemporary pop song. On “World” a screaming guitar riff infiltrates an otherwise sugar-coated song about heartbreak. It’s subtle, but effective, even in the context of an album that’s outrageously over-the-top. It would be easy to toss this aside as a Beatles clone. The similarities between the songwriting of the two bands are endless but the BeeGees execute with a level of craft that is impossible to ignore.

For those who conjure up an idea of them from the ultra high pitched 'Tragedy' era, check this out to find out they sounded like in the late 60s. They sounded a bit like the Beatles at the time and there is a run of about 4 songs towards the end of this record which are just brilliant.

As a follow up to the Bee Gees first masterpiece album, this is a disappointment, but as a whole, it's a pretty good album. "Birdie Told Me" and some other corny love songs could've been replaced, but whatever.
