The Monkees are dead, long live The Monkees!
On track 3 the boys rattle off a Who-Sell-Out-ready ditty that tries to get ahead of the argument: "you say we're manufactured, to that we all agree! ... Hey hey we are The Monkees, we've said it all before // the money's in we're made of tin, we're here to give you more!"
That out of the way, we jump into the whole psychedelia / mod thing, more Small Faces than Beatles, but still not, definitely not - don't you say it - The Monkees. It comes across as a bit calculated, but I love it when a band explodes out of what it does, even if it's for the $$$. This is a strange, winding little guitar album that's totally worth hearing if you have any interest in 60's rock at all 3.5/5
