Ultimately, the Gene Tryp stage production was abandoned and among the twenty-six songs that McGuinn and Levy had written for the project, six ( including " Chestnut Mare ") would end up being released on The Byrds ' ( Untitled ) and Byrdmaniax albums.

The band's decision to produce the album themselves was almost certainly an attempt to show Melcher that they could do a better job than he had done on Byrdmaniax.

Reaction to the album in the U. S. was more enthusiastic than it had been for Byrdmaniax but still wasn't wholly positive.

It was done really rapidly and it suffered in under production as a reaction to Byrdmaniax.

Unfortunately, the rapidity with which The Byrds planned and recorded Farther Along resulted in yet another uneven LP, which the band themselves were unhappy with and which failed to undo the damage to their reputation inflicted by Byrdmaniax.

" The question of The Byrds ' continued existence was also echoed in a contemporary review by Bud Scoppa in the March 1972 edition of Rock magazine, in which he opined " The Byrds recognized their failure on Byrdmaniax, but placed the blame on the lavish production job rather than their own disunity.

Following the release of the Byrdmaniax album, The Byrds ' producer and manager, Terry Melcher, resigned amid accusations of overdubbing strings, horns, and a gospel choir onto that album without the band's consent.

It was quickly released as a reaction to the commercial failure of The Byrds ' previous album, Byrdmaniax, and as an attempt to stem the criticism that album was receiving in the music press.

As such, Farther Along can be seen as the band's answer to Melcher's over-production as well as an attempt to prove that they could produce an album superior to Byrdmaniax themselves.

The Byrds ' annoyance over Melcher's additions to Byrdmaniax prompted them to try to rectify the situation by quickly recording a new album, this time produced by themselves.

" Nonetheless, while the album succeeded in countering the over-production present on Byrdmaniax, the band themselves weren't particularly satisfied with the finished product.

Farther Along was released on November 17, 1971 in the United States ( catalogue item KC 30150 ) and January 21, 1972 in the United Kingdom ( catalogue item S 64676 ), less than five months after Byrdmaniax.

The January 29, 1972 edition of Melody Maker commented that it was " Good to hear The Byrds stretching their wings again " before concluding that " Byrdmaniax was the bad news-now for the good news.

In more recent years, Mark Deming of the Allmusic website has described the album's contents as a " well-crafted set " and compared it to Byrdmaniax by stating " It's certainly a significant improvement, but something short of a triumphant return ; the band sounds a bit tired in spots, as if they were starting to run out of gas.

If anyone asked us, after we made the remark that the suffering was a bad thing, whether we should think it relevant to what we said to learn that the incident had never occurred and no pain had been suffered at all, we should say that it made all the difference in the world, that what we were asserting to be bad was precisely the suffering we thought had occurred back there, that if this had not occurred, there was nothing left to be bad, and that our assertion was in that case mistaken.
