Very 1967:s style. OK

Having not lived through the era, I can appreciate The Monkees for their music without them having to carry the baggage of being "inauthentic." If you can get past the fact that they don't write their own songs and only somewhat play their instruments (I very much can), I think it's hard to say this is anything but a great album. Nearly every song is both catchy and fun which is a product from using top notch songwriting talent. The Monkees are a highly underrated band and I especially enjoy the fact that the employ multiple lead vocalists to vary their sound. I've recommended this album to a lot of people who wanted to hate it only for them to leave pleasantly surprised (and chastened).

Nice easy-listening pop rock. Very much a product of the music landscape around them. It's not all that groundbreaking but there aren't any bad songs really.

Best album of one of the best years in music.

Their most psychedelic record second only to Head. This group has taken a lot of heat because of their manufactured image. It's actually just fun pop music.

The Monkees most solid effort by virtue of being more of Mike Nesmith and less of everyone else, though still too much Davy Jones. Mike sings Salesman, Door Into Summer, Love Is Only Sleeping, What Am I Doin' Hanging 'Round?, and Don't Call On Me. Mickey Dolenz does well on Words, Pleasant Valley Sunday, and the Nesmith-written Daily Nightly. Jones sings the rest, though Tork recites the spoken-word Peter Percival and duets with Dolenz on Words.
