Music reviews of Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd.
Music Review: The Monkees' Sgt. Pepper
Rating: 5 Stars
There is not much more that can be said about this superb album. Needless to say PAC&J is far and away the Monkees masterpiece. I agree with all those that have called it one of the best albums in the 1960s.
I want to recommend that those that have not purchased this album on CD yet, need to do so. There is something for everybody. I would characterize it as easily an AC format. But these outstanding tracks count as Classic Rock, as well. Straight-up pop has never sounded better. The sound is not dated. It plays as fresh and original today, as ever.
This is the Monkees' Sound. They have creative control over the music. They play the instruments. Multiple members of the group are present on almost every track. You have your country-rock, Broadway-rock, psychedelic, bubble-gum, schmaltzy ballad (that's Micky singing lead, by the way), and social commentary packed with meaning.
The extended ending to "Star Collector" is a first for the era. Before "Hey Jude", here is the Monkees making a cut that is over three and a half minutes long!
I love the way the album progresses, from the cutting edge Nesmith Country-Pop that opens the album, transitioning to the Davy Jones AC stuff in the middle - finally ending with a sonic boom that builds in intensity.
As the album ends, you have a subtle sense that this is about it. They have made their point and soon will begin drifting in different directions. The ending is similar to the final moments on Abbey Road, or Chicago VII. The true fan worries that this may be it.
The Monkees deserve to be in the Rock HOF, for this album alone.
Buy it, and enjoy!
