Migration is the third studio album by The Amboy Dukes. It was released in 1969 on Mainstream Records.
Composition
AllMusic has suggested that Migration reflects a stronger influence from Ted Nugent's input than the previous Amboy Dukes albums, citing the lack of drug influence in the lyrics due to Nugent's anti-drug stance, and the lack of a "spaced-out follow-up" to "Journey to the Center of the Mind", the band's biggest hit.[1] The band also took a more eclectic approach to composition on Migration.[1] "I'm Not a Juvenile Delinquent" is a cover of a song by Frankie Lymon and the Teenagers.[1]

AllMusic | [1] |
Migration received a "cold" reception upon release.[1] In a retrospective review, AllMusic said that the album was "more ambitious" than Journey to the Center of the Mind and that Migration "might be the better of the two discs, if not the best of the Amboy Dukes' career."[1]
