The Yardbirds — Ultimate! — album review
. . . featuring partial lyrics for “Shapes of Things”

Songs for a Better Planet

Now the trees are almost green,
But will they still be seen
When time and tide have been?
Fall into your passing hands;
Please don't destroy these lands;
Don't make them desert sands.

Artist: The Yardbirds

Album: Ultimate!

Song: "Shapes of Things"

Category: Classic Rock

ALBUM REVIEW

album cover for The Yardbirds, Ultimate! Fans of the bluesier side of the Yardbirds may disagree, but the Yardbirds' artsy power-pop hit "Shapes of Things" is probably the brightest gem in their rock 'n' roll crown. It's just one of 52 tracks on the impressive 2-CD set "Ultimate!" The album strikes the right balance: enough songs to fully explore the Yardbirds' brilliant if brief history, but not so many as to overwhelm and dilute the pleasure.
