Negative Positive
Title: The music is funny.
Review: This was the Monkees second album. It was hastily slapped together to cash in on the Monkees growing popularity. It is definitely a mixed bag. There are some great songs and some downright awful songs. All the songs that Micky sings are great, especially the classic hits "Steppin' Stone" and "I'm a Believer". Mike's one vocal, "The Kind of Girl I Could Love", is a solid effort. And Peter's sole vocal, "Your Auntie Grizelda", is an amusing novelty song. The album's weakest parts come from Davy. "Look Out(Here Comes Tomorrow)" is great and "When Love Comes Knockin'(At Your Door)" is pretty good. But "Hold On Girl" is mediocre, "Laugh" is a poor attempt at a novelty song, and the spoken word "The Day We Fall in Love" is embarrassingly bad. The CD adds five bonus tracks which improve the album somewhat.
