May 30, 2016Love it! It was such a wonderful treat hearing these guys again. I am also amazed at the range of well-known song writers represented here. I hope the Monkees go on recording as long as they can, even if it is not the same without Davy among them for real.

May 28, 2016Very strong record-probably the best album released this year-1967 in 2016 , I will take it
many highlights, and nothing that makes you press fast forward on your cd player -
May 29, 2016This album caught me by surprise. It is a fresh view of 1967 that refuses to be pigeonholed into a convenient genre. It is the best of the early Monkees vibe with a healthy dose of modern songwriting that stays true to the Monkees mission statement. My 19 year old daughter relates to it as much as her 51 year old father. This may be their best stuff since Pisces and it may be more than that.

May 28, 2016Without a doubt, this fits seamlessly into my Monkees rotation. If you like the Monkees, you will love this new album. Each of the original Monkees are represented. I gave up thinking that we would ever have another album from these great performers.

May 30, 2016A great album to bring in the summer, make you smile, and being back those great childhood memories. A seamless transition from the 1960s Monkees' voices. A must have for any Monkees fan.

May 29, 2016It's the Monkees album many of us have been waiting for since the 80s (probably longer.) It's a shame Davy isn't here to add more to the 'party' but I would have never imagined Mike, Micky, and Peter had one more great album to give us. Good Times, indeed!

May 29, 2016Their best album since the '60s.
A pleasant mix of bubblegum and psychedelic pop, with just enough modern sound to make it interesting.
A must have for all Monkees lovers and fans of '60s music.
Better than Justus and Pool It combined! -
May 30, 2016Beautiful mix of high energy, fun, and thoughtful songs. This may be the best Monkees CD in all of their 50 years of recording. It will bring lots of Good Times!
-
May 30, 2016Great to hear all four Monkees' voices again, and all in top form. Tight instrumentation and vocals, great songs, and both fun and seriousness intertwined The Monkees are back, and they sound GREAT!!
-
May 30, 2016Some of best music ever from the Monkees!! It's hard to believe the guys are in their 70s. not in their 20s. Great mix of songs. Nice to hear Davy's beautiful voice again (R.I. P. Davy Jones 1845-2012).
-
May 30, 2016Love! Love! Love! A mix of 1960s Monkees psychedelic and pop with a modern sound. Happy, upbeat songs, great from start to finish. Like a good old vintage wine, the Monkees have gotten better with age. Hard to believe this entire album isn't from a vault of unreleased Monkees songs.
-
May 30, 2016Great mix of fun and psychedellc songs sung beautifully by all 4 Monkees. The Monkees at their best, on their 50th year anniversary of their debut. All new songs by a variety of great songwriters. A must have for anyone who has ever enjoyed the Monkees or 1960s music. Not one bad song. A great listen!

Jul 18, 2016Being a summer release, the sun really shines down on tunes like “Good Times,” with it’s go-go beat, “She Makes Me Laugh,” “Our Own World,” “Gotta Give It Time,’ and come on get happy with “You Bring the Summer.”
-
Jul 7, 2016Like their 60s albums, it’s a hodgepodge of self-penned songs and songs written by others, with a few vintage rave-ups thrown into the mix--‘mix’ being the operative word for this patchy affair.

Jun 20, 2016No one ever asked The Monkees to be anything more than pratfalling archetypes who could act and sing a bit, yet they asked more of themselves than they needed to; and they’re digging deep again today.
