Free Music Review: Bubblegum Isn't Always Bad
Hit: 4 Stars
Well, this was the Monkees second album, and it shot straight up to number 1, knocking their first album (which still held that spot) to number 2. However, as most people know the album was pretty much made by Don Kirshner, and as the story goes, the Monkees didn't even know the album was out, until they saw it at a store. They had virtually no imput, and their vocals were pretty much their only involvement. Despite all of this, it's a very solid selection of songs. Some songs are not the greatest, but this album is filled with hits. Anyway, here is my review of the songs:
1. "She" - Excellent way to start the album with a great Boyce/Hart song that probably could have been a single. 10/10
2. "When Love Comes Knockin' (At Your Door)" - Not the best song on the album, but certainly not the worst. Fairly solid pop song. 7/10
3. "Mary, Mary" - One of the two songs written by Mike on this album. Featured in a few episodes, and one of their more popular non-singles. Great song, one of my favorites. 10/10
4. "Hold On Girl" - Another Davy song that's not great, but again isn't the worst. Average song, that gets in your head. 7/10
5. "Your Auntie Grizelda" - This was the first Monkees song on an album that featured Peter on lead vocals. Just a goofy novelty song, but it's a classic. 8/10
6. "(I'm Not Your) Steppin' Stone" - One of the Monkees most popular B-Sides, and a definite classic. 10/10
7. "Look Out (Here Comes Tomorrow)" - An obvious Neil Diamond song, and definitely the strongest Davy song on the album. This may be pure bubblegum, but it's still great. 10/10
8. "The Kind of Girl I Could Love" - The second song that Mike wrote for the album, and the only one he sings (for some reason). Not the best Mike song ever released, but it has that country-rock-pop appeal. 8/10
9. "The Day We Fall In Love" - This is my least favorite Monkees song. I don't even know if you could call it a ballad, it's just a lot of cheesy Davy talking. Definitely not good. 1/10
10. "Sometime In The Morning" - Micky definitely shines on this song, vocally anyway. Solid song, that is squeezed in between two bad ones. 9/10
11. "Laugh" - Another horrible choice by Kirshner. Not only is it a bad song, but the quality just doesn't seem like it's finished. How this ended up being on two Monkees episodes is beyond me. 4/10
12. "I'm A Believer" - I'm sure everyone knows what this song is...possibly their most popular. 10/10
Nothing too much from the bonus tracks...Peter singing "I Don't Think You Know Me" is interesting.
This cd is definitely worth a purchase, and it's a very good listen. I'd probably give it a 5/5 if the Monkees had at least had knowledge that it was coming out.
