Headquarters

Huismerk Beatles met country-invloeden. De hits staan niet op dit album dus ook dat is me niet gegund. Wat over blijft is wel erg eenvoudige, brave jaren '60 pop. Het is niet verschrikkelijk om even uit te zitten maar ik neig toch enorm naar 2 sterren. En dat op donderdag.

Wow this is fluffy. At least the 1002 App didn't make is watch the TV show.

Mediocre jingly jangly 60s pop.

Från början väldigt likt något av det sämre som Beatles gjorde. 'You Told Me' är i princip en tidig Beatleslåt. Annars rätt så tråkigt. Grejen att The Monkees skapades för en tv-serie känns också... fejk på något sätt. Att medlemmarna hade det ganska gott ställt innan och handplockades till serien kanske bidrar till det själlösa i Monkees' musik. Blir mer konstruerat än organiskt. Har också alltid stört mig på Micky Dolenz ansikte, men det felet ligger ju bara hos mig. Det finns ändå några trevliga spår här: 'I'll Spend My Life With You', 'Shades of Gray', 'Mr. Webster', 'Early Morning Blues And Greens', och, speciellt, 'Randy Scouse Git', som har en kontrollerad spretighet och en råhet i refrängen som inte hörs annars på albumet. Bästa låt: Randy Scouse Git.

Welcome to BS HQ.

I remember as a kid I really liked The Monkees. I thought they were like the funny version of the Beatles...always runnin' around, too busy singing to get down. So when I listened to this I was pretty disappointed. It was like Beatles light. Beatles straight-forward. Whiny Beatles. There are a few interesting songs, even some experiential stuff like Zilch that I thought was fun. But no, this album is not for me.

Pretty staid. Nothing much to get into.

Nah, you’re alright. Shite.

Highlights: "Randy Scouse Git," "Band 6," "For Pete's Sake" If you're going to directly copy a band in 1967, who better than the Beatles. It's a convincing duplicate. And these 25-year-old boys even wrote some of the songs themselves this time. That's all there is to say.

Lidt kedeligt album, hvor der ikke rigtigt var nogle fængende sange på.

Yeah, I dunno. The Monkees never seemed impressing, and for sure this album just seems a bad knock off of their contemporaries; only a few years too late for whatever sound they were trying for. Not all that interested in this one. Fave track: Shades of Gray

tämä on musiikkia!! tämä tässä on saatana kunnon albumi. ei miitään orvokki perse munaa kitaran vängytystä vittu originaalisuus kiinnostava lyrisismi hevonpaskaa.. TÄSSÄ ei oo muuta kun RAAKAA 2minuutin pituisia sieluttomia korporaatti biisejä. the monkees bändi pelasti koko perkeleen musiikkiteollisuuden, tällästä se kuuluukin olla!!!! jo album coverista näkee, kuinka häpeämättömän nerokas bänger on tulossa! VITTU YHELLÄ JALALLA TUO"""""""""HULLU!!!!!!!hymyhuulin .. vittu se tietää mitä tekee... early morning blues and greens

Not great. 5/10.

There’s nothing special here, just another typical album that you’d hear in the 60s

Недобитлы? Супербитлы? Битлы? Прикольные ребята, которые в одно ухо влетели и в другое вылетели. Но на фон потанцевать неплохо

not into it sorry. in a bad mood for music. 2 2 2 2 2 2 2

Mixed bag. Some real shite

Like the beatles, typical music of the sixties

2/5. Feels like a B-Sides collection of Beach Boys or Beatles, they are fine but I would rather change it to one of the other bands.

Fluffy Entertainment 2.4

swinging.

Hey hey

Hetken jaksoi hyvällä mielenkiinnolla kuunnella, mutta aivan liian pitkä levy ja melko tasapaksua.

Ilosta rallatteluu

I just couldn’t get into the album…

Something of a Rubber Soul pastiche. Please tell me that Randy Scouse Git is a Beatles piss take. This worked well with the country soul tracks; not so when it went off waffling in a folk direction. There's a sad feeling that tries to hold the different fragments together. Zilch very odd. It reminded me of A Tribe Called Quest and Benita Applebaum. Drugs might have been involved. Not really an album, more a random collection of songs

Nothing memorable. Derivative early 60s pop. I guess that was the point,

Like the Beatles without the depth

Meh

meh, interesting future samples ib hip hop album tho

An album by a '60s novelty act without any of their notable hits? I am disappoint. On the bright side, the throwaway track "Zilch" was sampled on one of my favorite Del the Funky Homosapien tracks, "Mistadobalina," so at least there's some future greatness derived from a snippet of this album.

wanna be beatles and kinks. dont know if they want bubble gum pop or some rock or other. what did their producer expect? what did they expect. tepid water with mosquitoes in it. oh noes!

Bleibt nicht wirklich viel von hängen. Das hat man alles von anderen Sixties-Bands ebenso gehört. Nicht schlimm, aber auch keine drei Sterne.

Eh

A perfect example of an older album that should be cut to make room for newer releases. The album The Monkees wrote themselves because they wanted to be taken seriously as musicians? So?

Decent, but not great.

I really thought I would like this more, but man wanted to rip my hair out at points

I didn't make it far into the album but it's 60s pop music for a TV show so....

Prefs: For Pete's Sake, Sunny Girlfriend, Zilch, No Time, Early Morning Blues and Greenes, Randy Scouse Girl Moins pref: Band 6

Rating: 3.4 Best Track: No Time

hahaha i am aware that some people actually think the Monkees were good musicians and that's fine i guess, but this is not a good record, very dependent on vocals and harmonies except they are not great singers, otherwise a very derivative 60s sound

Meh, they weren't really musicians, although I did appreciate finding a tune I used to enjoy on the closing credits of the TV show when I was a kid

After they told the world they didn’t play on their own albums, they took more creative control for their third release. It plays as a poor imitation of the Beatles who were weeks away from releasing Sgt. Pepper. While music in 1967 was pushing boundaries of musicianship, lyrical content, genre, and form, the Monkees were making bland music for a TV show about a fictional band. Obviously this album was more successful than it had any business being, and its production is slick, but it's just not good.

Better than i thought, but that's not a high bar to clear

Ok but nothing spectacular.

det är ganska uddlöst

smá erfitt með þessa, nokkur fín lög en svolítið dated

painful at times

2.5/5 Nothing special here.

I guess there is some merit to this one, but I made the mistake to just press play in spotify and then endured like 2 hours of off brand beatles lol...

I know we're supposed to say that they were actually as good as the Beach Boys and the Kinks. but they weren't were they? A stellar greatest hits, but their albums? No.

it's funny that this is their creative breakout album, where they finally wrestled some creative control away from the producer and played all the instruments for themselves. It's not really fun and it just sounds like any old pop/rock/folk band from 1967. Not all of it is terrible but they really should have just stayed as an boy band with no creative control.

Too long

I liked it better when they didn't write their own songs.

grrr this was an awkward album because i don’t hate it but i definitely don’t like it because it’s just outdated? like it’s just music i wouldn’t listen to not because it’s bad but because it’s old. it’s interesting but not for me.

It's fine. Upbeat and pleasant. Manufactured or not, the songs are just very simplistic when viewed from a 21st century perspective. I can appreciate them contextually but I'm not sure how much I'd listen to them on my own.

Começo do pop rock.

So according to Wiki the band fought hard for creative freedom... and then this is what they did with it? It's sort of crazy how cheesy and dated this one is and I really can't fathom a reason to listen to this, except in a museum sense of "this is what people liked almost 60 years ago".

We want to write our own songs, they get the opportunity and just do half rate Beatles pastiches

Nothing special with this album… ziltch was a bit funny since it’s been sampled

She hangs out has got some serioooouuss 60s creep vibes about it, no good.

Reading the story of how this album came to be was the most interesting part and really informed my listen. The album was all over the place with Beatles-esque tunes and then absolute bad nonsense.

The Monkees finally were finally allowed to write and perform on their own records. And it is not a a disaster. Pleasant folk/country inspired pop rock, with some hints of psychedelia. But I can't really remember a single song on it, except Zilch (and experimental thing that I quite like)

Ok 60s pop, but lacking any catchy songs or big hits. They should have stuck with the external song writers and session musicians. 2/5.

This hasn't done much to give me an appreciation of the Monkees. From what I gather, they were a pretend band for a TV show, but this was the first album where they actually had creative input. It's listenable and inoffensively pleasant. But just seems like middling "1960s psych-pop lite for mass appeal". 2*

Some really good harmonies, but overall, just doesn't carry long enough.

Disappointing pop. There wasn't anything that was memorable or remarkably enjoyable. Does not hold up very well.

This entire album sounded like a spinal tap song: Don't get me wrong Try getting me right Your face is okay But your purse is too tight I'm looking for pound notes, loose change, bank checks, anything Gimme some money, gimme some money 2/5

Irgendwie gehört es in seine Zeit aber nach hier und heute eher nicht

First Listen 2/5. Better than expected. Surprised how much I liked it. I had heard none of these songs before.

If Disney tried to make a discount Beatles knock-off this is what it would sound like.

Were they the first "boy band"? Very Bee Gees sounding, maybe with a couple of Beatles bars thrown in (but nowhere near them!). It's OK easy listening, but IMO more than 2 tracks in a row it's a sugar OD.

boring, discount beatles

It sounds like a Beatles album, only more repetitive which makes it worse. But I can't say that it is bad. My favourite song is I Can't Get Her Off My Mind

meh

Listened to the first two songs. Is this going to be all 60’s music from here on out?

Great story. TV show band. This was the first album that they were given freedom to write on their own. Good story, but not great.

Lightweight pop dross

I didn't go into this with that high of hopes, always kinda thought these guys were just budget Beatles. It wasn't bad, just not something I think I would return to Saved: Shades of Gray, All of Your Toys

The Monkees are ok. Always weird to take a band seriously that was created for a TV show.

4

eh its ok, not really my thing

The album is certainly fun, and the interstitial moments of the band joking around remind us of their youth. The songs are strongly thematic of the era, but not memorable.

Nje, inget jättekul. En del lite bra men det mesta har inte åldrats tillräckligt väl för att fortfarande vara intressant. Enkla ackord, enkla basgångar, enkla melodier. Var ändå taggad på Monkees! Zilch ganska rolig, och kan nog ha varit briljant på sin tid, idag känns det som nåt varje youtuber skulle göra 😅

Very whatever. Some of "talking" tracks were weird and I'm not sure why they would be remastered, but whatever.

I listened to so much of this... Its not bad, its just too much :D

Was a long monkeys album. Had a few of their greats on here. Are there better monkey's albums to put on this list?

It's okay, I don't want to listen to it more than once. The only version I could find was the deluxe edition and it was too long. Probably liked shades of Gray the most. 4/8.

Meh

Notable because they played their own instruments for the first time like the big boys that they are. It also sold well. It's insane that this album, which sounds like it came out in 1962, was the #2 best-selling album during the Summer of Love. Best track: Shades of Gray

Nah... Kinda boring

Always thought these were a novelty act, trying to emulate those Liverpudlians. They’ve a few bangers but not for me. Prefered their tv programme. 1

Yeah. Beginning to hate the 60’s. I think I want to give this a 1 based on album cover alone… And for ripping off the worst era of the Beatles. As if having to listen to the early 60’s Beatles albums wasn’t torture enough. And right when I think their harmonies might get me, I look at that album cover. 1 Boolean: absolutely false

Utter cheeze.

What if the Beatles were shit? 1/5

not my thing

My first concert was the Monkees, so believe me when I say I went into this expecting to like it. Maybe even a little invested in liking it. And I still hated it. TEMU 60s pop. Like one of those off brand compilations of “music in the style of” and insert every popular 60s artist. And then they have the balls to write a “takedown”’of the Beatles. So edgy!!! Did you come up with that between takes of your sitcom? You'll never guess, but this was the album on which they demanded creative control. Guys, you really should have stuck with the Neil Diamond tunes

Can't stand the monkees

This sounds to me like an alternate universe Rubber Soul, expect in this universe Rubber Soul is terrible. Just seems like a horrible attempt to make the American Rubber Soul but like 2 years too late. I had a sort of evil mischievous thought as I was listening, that if someone went back in time and plopped any one of these songs onto Rubber Soul, would it still be regarded as a 10 by most people? And I honestly think people would. But this thought kind of exposed the futility of what we are doing here, just grading albums from like 60 years ago against an arbitrary scale, and made me realize that giving a numerical rating to a piece of art (as great or terrible as it may be) can hardly capture its essence, so I chose to ignore this thought so I can keep having fun with this. The thing about this album is that sandwiched in between all of this foolishness is this beautiful and honest moment “You May Just Be The One” which to me sounds proto-GBV, like Robert Pollard might be jealous of this song. It sounds like a different band than the rest of the album. I hate this album. I can’t believe we are still talking about the Monkees in 2026.

There is a reason I never heard of this. I’d rather listen to the Beatles, beach boys or the beegees. This album was uninteresting and uninspiring and does not stand the test of time.

big ol bucket of meh.

Terrible songs.

Nah

This was a hard one to get through, I can’t lie.

Nice

Cheap Yank keech. Enjoyed the TV show as a kid, but felt betrayed when it came out they were only actors!

Kind of a snooze. Or maybe I wasn't really in the mood for it. Either way, I didn't like it that much.

The only justification for having this in the list is a reminder that empty and generic casting bands aren't such a recent invention.

Absolutely insipid, as expected. I didn't like them when they were on re-run TV when I was a kid, and it looks like I still don't like them. Almost feel bad for them, given how they were controlled by the producers and song writers. The cool thing was the origin of Mister Bob Dobalina, which was sampled on Del the Funky Homosapien on Mistadobalina in 1992!

Oavsett om dom heter BTS på 2020talet, New Kids On The Block på 80/90talet, Bay City Rollers på 70talet eller The Monkees på 60talet förtjärnar fabricerade band ihopsatta på grund av eller tack vare utseende aldrig något annat än en etta

First listen Saved 2/14 Top track: You Told Me

I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this. I don’t even know where to start. The album is four hours long. That’s four hours of my life I can never get back that I just sat at my work desk completely miserable. I obviously went to Wikipedia to see what the actual track listing was cause this happens from time to time where you need to look up the actual track listing cause the only version available will be an extended deluxe cut or something. Well imagine my shock and horror when it was revealed that the full album is FOUR HOURS LONG. Why do The Monkees hate us so? What have we done to anger you The Monkees?!? Why has God forsaken us?!? I understand that if you are a HARDCORE Monkees fan you might want to listen to “studio dialogue” but the average person stumbling across this album DOES NOT WANT THAT. It honestly comes across as narcissistic and grating. Like would I wanna buy an album that was this long that had this many demos and unfinished ideas and mindless studio noises but it was released by Ween? Yah guilty as charged I would pay a lot of money for that, and yes I should be ashamed of myself. But seriously for this to be a serious studio release is fucking bold to say the least. I can prove that I was patient and actually sat through the whole thing cause I was actually STUNNED to learn the sample for the song “Mistadobalina” is actually from this album. Which was a crazy moment where I thought the music streaming service jumped back to my normal playlist cause I couldn’t believe this album had THAT sample. Which I can admit was cool but it’s only cool because of Del the fuck homosapien, the album doesn’t get “points” for someone else making a cool song out of the dumpster fire that is this trash heap of an album. I know calling an album a flaming trash heap may sound dramatic but the fact that this was released in this state feels like they just expect people to shovel this down without any sense of flare or fan fare. I genuinely felt insulted by this album, like my time wasn’t important. The album says to you “fuck you good sir, you must be a Monkees fan to be listening to this album so I’m just going to shut directly into your ear canal, you wouldn’t even know any better…you are listening to The Monkees”. Also the final slap in the face is when you get to the final track after FOUR HOURS and it’s The Monkees singing that they have no time…no time for me?!? So Mr. The Monkees, I believe it is I who has no time for you!! And how dare you think otherwise you pompous narcissistic ass of a band. Literally this album was the only time I ever questioned why I was even doing this list, and if I even wanted to continue. Thankfully I can say this list doesn’t normally try and shovel crap down your throat but this is one of the rare occasions where it does. If it was possible I’d give this album a lover score than a 1.

Hey we’re the Monkees we’re like the Beatles but if they were Monkees Same shit different band. There is no innovation in the beatles-like genre

All sounds the same

I feel like this list is mocking me.

- I found this album to be too honkey tonk, twee (e.g., I Can’t Get Her Off My Mind, Forget That Girl), annoying (e.g., Zilch, Band 6), and dated. - I really disliked the second half of the album, except the last song. The album was pretty short (listened to the version with 14 songs), but I still wanted it to be about half as long. I listened to it a few times, and the only thing I remember is Bob Dobalina, and that’s because it’s been sampled. - Unpopular opinion, but I like their super produced manufactured pop stuff better. This felt like they were trying to copy the better bands that were around, but it fell flat - this album lacks the depth and musicality of its contemporaries. The vocals and lyrics are pretty pitchy and weak, too (e.g., For Pete’s Sake, Forget That Girl). - I think I liked the bass the most out of everything, and some pretty enough keyboard on Shades of Gray.

Maybe I’m just old and cynical. But this must have been a cash grab, surfing off their TV fame. There’s nothing there of any musical merit. Just a complete jumble of songs and style. Most of it cringey as.

There's no famous big hits on here. Oh it's the album they wrote and performed themselves! They obviously didn't think they needed the help of Neil Diamond any more. Sadly us listeners believe they did.

Listening to this it's easy to see why the first couple albums used session musicians and ghost writers

I loved the Monkees, the television was part of my childhood. But this album has to be the pits. Its a shame this album was chosen for 1001.

Bland bubblegum pop

Why is this even on the list? A fabricated band played by actors

Just meh.

Probably should’ve stuck to acting

This is the Monkeys third album, but the first in which they wrote their own songs and played their own instruments. I wonder if they regret their decision.

Cool, they were able to imitate the Beatles and the Byrds. But there was so much more interesting music in 1967. Feel like they always get the "well, they were made for TV, but their music is not that bad" excuse. Although Randy Scouse Git is a pretty funny song: jealous, much?

stupid fake beatles

Garbage

Besides perhaps a couple of songs, this album didnt do shit for me...

NO!

What an experience to listen to this directly after I finished "A Hard Day's Night"... The best tracks here were the fleeting moments they WEREN'T pretending to be the Beatles. Also I realize now that there was a show and far more lore to this whole ordeal than I initially was aware of, still doesn't make me enjoy it any more.

Imitation Beatles. "Band 6" is stupid. "Mr Webster" I guess is their "Eleanor Rigby". "Shades of Grey" is worse Simon and Garfunkel. "Zilch" we're back into stupid territory. Had an awful time forcing myself to listen to this.

The show was better.

For today's 1001 albums to hear before I die I rolled The Monkees' Headquarters, and I have no idea what to even expect here as I never thought I'd listen to one of their albums in full. If you have never heard any 60s music before and don't want some crazy Psychedelic obscurity to ruin your perspective of this decade, this is a pretty safe choice to listen to. I don't see why this is an essential must hear before I die as it is a pretty standard and by the books Pop Rock album from that time with absolutely nothing interesting to offer. This is one of the most nothing-burger releases from this decade I have heard. I only really liked Forget That Girl and everything else here was just fine to decent with no other real standouts in my mind.

This was pretty generic. I’d rather have watched an episode of the TV show.

This was just awful. Instead of playing their own instruments they should have just retired.

Well this sucks.

This is a well done ripoff of not only the Beatles, but also Simon and Garfunkel, Little Richard and Peter, Paul and Mary. It sounds ok and this album provided the sample for Del The Funky Homosapiens "biggest" hit, but that is all it has going for it. Does not deserve to be on the list.

This is the first album I've gotten that I didn't really care for. The Monkees were a pretty overrated commercialized American Beatles knockoff and this album wasn't anything special.

Worthless pop culture flotsam. The Beatles are already basically just music for children, so why would a kids' show pastiche act of them be anything other than a childish born-outdated disposable bauble?

Completely unlistenable

So thought this was quite long and considered not listening to the deluxe album, went to the headquarters sessions and that was 3hrs long; so I submitted myself to the 90min version but I had enough by 60mins. It’s a classic pop sound but it’s stale and I wouldn’t want to listen again because it’s been the same song on repeat for an hour.

Really not in the mood for this. Listened to two songs and got nausea thinking of listening to the rest of it.

Zzzzzzzz Franchement claqué au sol de fou

Meh. Nostalgic but not classic

I’m gonna preface this by saying: I’ve always hated the monkees. Their music is lame. So I didn’t want to listen to this album. But I did. And even listened to the bonus tracks. I hated every minute of it. The monkees still suck and I still hate them. 1001 album worthy: no - 95/174

Disaster

1 star. 3 hr album with rough drafts? Nah. Give me the final version only.

Turns out I don't enjoy 60's hippie pop as much as thought I would. I mean, I'm not a huge 60's music fan as it is, though I am partial to some Beatles occasionally. In that case, I'd rather just go listen to that. Also, is it just me or are the drums on this album way too loud?

This whole album is pretty much a worthless Beatles rip-off. Maybe you had to be there, I don't know. The only interesting track is 'Zilch', which is used as a sample in a much better hip hop song (Mistadobalina) by Del the Funky Homosapien.

Not top 1001 album territory

Ok

A manufactured band thrown together to try to rival the success of The Beatles at the time. What a joke. It didn't work and judging by the tedium of this album I am not surprised. Did I really want to hear this album before I die? No not really but I have and do not plan on repeating the painful experience.

Very boring 60s pop rock. Nothing interesting (except for Zilch) and gets annoying very fast. Also, I hate the cover.

not to be overtly disrespectful but listening to The Monkees has always, for some reason, made me irrationally irritated. nothing wrong with this album in particular but my mental illness is improved by not listening to The Monkees.

This is #day185 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and... monkee see, monkee do? Why make a Beatles parody band when you can just listen to The Beatles? I don’t get it. It’s been a while since I rated an album a 1, so here we are. Back to square one. Looking forward to #day186.

I really don't know why this one on the list. Forgettable trash.

Die Beatles in schlecht und ein paar Jahre zu spät. 1967 waren die Beatles und andere schon weiter.

Shouldn't be in the list for me...not one excellent song, not one good song, at best some average songs...standout Zilch says it all...for me best song on the record...Mister Dobalena, Mister Bob Dobalena!

I hate beatles clones, especially when they are drastically inferior

Really uninteresting and generic music

Randy Scouse Git

Shite

Shite

Groupe inconnu. Ressemble beaucoup aux Beattles, donc ils partent avec un désavantage. C'est confirmé, rien de bien intéressant ou original. =>1/5

Sorry, just really couldn't do it. It was and is really hard to take this band seriously.

What if the Beatles were shit?

I’m not big on the 60-70 dainty rock stuff. It’s just not for me.

i fully understand why people were anti rock n roll during this period

why am i only getting albums from the 60s. they’re all the exact same and boring asf.

didn't enjoy felt incredibly dated, and sounded like a worse version of the Beatles and it was too long since it had 36 songs

70’s don’t care

60s Backstreet Boys/Poor Man’s Beatles. Next…

This book/list: It came out in 1967, it must be the best thing ever put to tape! I mean, no. Just no. When I think of the albums I should be listening to, it's not this. I mean, the first song is just Doctor Roberts from Revolver. I don't even think the Beatles were that great, so why would I want to listen to a Beatles rip-off?

In a nutshell: from the band that brought you "Head"... 32 minutes of your life gone listening to this mundane album. Skip this. The Monkees are more of a singles band anyway. Overall: 1/10

lackluster

Nope

nie podoba mi sie, jeden sie trafil nieprzeszkadzacz calkiem przyjemny

I only had a vague memory of the Monkees. I probably only heard their name once. I gave the album a chance. I gave it up after 18 tracks. The music was uninteresting to me and was increasingly getting on my nerves. Only Zilch promised to be more interesting. It wasn't boring, but it was so annoying that I abandoned it.

garbage. 0.

Not sure I'd call this essential listening.

some are nice. some are annoying af

It’s a no from me dog

No!

That sucked

Just can't with the Monkeys

More trash from the 60’s. I bet it was super uncool to like this band.

Oof that was rough. I felt like I was doing someone a favor by listening to it

Ngl was a snoozer. Happy Monday I guess. Had a good weekend

nah

Un álbum poco interesante que busca emular lo más posible las mejores composiciones de The Beatles en su periodo de 1966 a 1967. Un proyecto clon, bastante bien interpretado, pero con poca originalidad. A pesar de que los miembros de The Monkees pudieron escribir sus canciones, no lograron crear una pieza musical original.

It's wild that Beatles mania was so powerful that all these awful knockoff copycat acts all became popular and well regarded. It's trash.

Seeing this record come up made me laugh, as I don't take The Monkees seriously, and never had, except to recall their "hits" whenever they appear. It's definitely a 60's record. The only "starred" by Apple Music is track 6, "Shades of Gray". It's pretty bad. In summary, this record took three minutes to review and discard!

Frekar dull á heildina litið. Enginn banger, bara meh.

I ALREADY RATED THIS YOU IDIOTS

This is just…just awful. Whose idea was it to pack an hour and a half of music into one album like this? They could’ve at least split it into 3 albums.

Mieleenpainumatonta 60-luvun huttua

Saattaa toimia. Jos on alle 13-vuotias ja elää vuonna 67.

I don't like The Beatles

Big hot trash

Yuck

Had high hopes for the band name

I’m kinda bored of this kinda music

0 stars. F*ck the Monkees.

As a kid, Daydream Believer was my most favorite song. As an adult, I could not listen to any one song all the way through.

It's very twee. That isn't necessarily a bad thing if it's still interesting to listen to, but this isn't.

A mix of the Beatles, Elvis and Bowie To long to repetitive and a a lot of dobbels

I tried to give it a fair listen but just so meh.

meh. Beatles knockoff not much to it

Harkened a mother’s quest to be pretty bland and uninteresting. Should’ve stuck to the ghost writers and session musicians.

Aged

Way past its expiration date

Initial impressions was it sounded Beatlesque but didn't quite hit that spark. Fun at first but quickly became very samey and generic. After reading that this band was created for a tv show, this makes a lot of sense. It's mass appeal with with little to no soul, mimicking the popularity of others. There's not even enough for me to hate it, just very uninteresting and it just keeps going on.

Meh.

Absolutely not my style

Couldn’t get through it. Really bad.
