Birthday is The Association's fourth album. The two hit singles, "Everything That Touches You" (#10) and "Time For Livin'" (#39) are in the easy-listening symphonic pop vein, and stand in stark contrast to the rest of the album's more heavy handed psychedelic approach.

This would be the last LP by the group that would spawn any Top 40 hits.
