The Monkees’ first album was a huge success, following on the number one single “Last Train to Clarksville.” The Monkees spent 78 weeks on the Billboard chart including an astounding 13 weeks at number one. The record wasn’t only a commercial juggernaut, it also stands as one of the great debuts of all time, and while the record and the group have faced criticism from rock purists through the ages, it stands the test of time perfectly well, sounding as alive and as much fun 40 years later. Prefabricated? Yes. After a fast buck? Yes. Exhilarating? Yes! Fab? Definitely! The music may have been created by studio cats instead of the band themselves but the pros weren’t merely phoning it in. Listen to the aggressive guitars on “Saturday’s Child,” the raw romp of “Tomorrow’s Gonna Be Another Day,” or the cascading wall of guitars and fiddles on “Sweet Young Thing,” and you know they weren’t just padding their bank accounts. They were playing some real rock & roll and you can credit the producers for that. Producers Tommy Boyce and Bobby Hart aren’t craftsmen on the level of Phil Spector (who was actually approached to produce the band but probably laughed the Monkees’ team right out the door), but they knew how to craft razor-sharp and exciting pop tunes with lots of spark, soul, and the occasional psychedelic touch. ― Allmusic
