Free Music Review: The Emperor Has No Clothes
Hit: 1 Stars
It is clear the five-star reviewers of this album have a huge agenda they're pushing. The truth is far down the scale to the left, I'm sorry to tell you.
Very little of this holds up today. In performance, the Monkees sound like an amateur teenage band here.
They played their own instruments but they certainly play poorly. The drums in particular are played with amateurish poor timing and bad arrangement choices.
The bass playing is at a beginner's level and the bass sound is awful.
The engineering and production are barely passable. The tambourine seems to be the one instrument they managed to record properly and it dominates many mixes. There is the familiar odd panning of the mid-sixties, but none of the tonal balance you find in recordings made in the same year at Abbey Road or by Tom Dowd in the East.
It is not until track 8 that you get a coherent recording married to some good song writing.
The vocals are distinctive, they are the band's best asset. Davey has the richest tone, Mike is soft, Micky wanders off mic at points, gives a real nice treatment to For Pete's Sake.
Many of the songs (Shades of Gray) are almost laughable compared to the songs they mimic (Yesterday).
Some of the songs would be right at home in a cancelled Broadway play that got bad reviews.
When someone tells you this is the Monkees' greatest thing, you know you're looking at a real fan.
