The Electric Prunes

It's an ice-cool aesthetic and a beautifully smudged and analogue production, but I don't know if compositionally I am particularly drawn to The Electric Prunes. Though they are certainly very interesting sounding, creating a brooding and complex atmosphere.

It's has more psychedelic rock sound than Jefferson Airplane's "Surrealistic Pillow" that was released in the same 1967.

But Jefferson Airplane at least had "Somebody to love" and "White rabbit" and this one here is a pretty dull album.

Nice and short. High 3

What I've heard sounded like bad copies of the Rolling Stones or the Beatles. Then I'd rather listen to the better originals. 2/5

This was a 2 until that last song single handedly dropped it to a 1.

wholesome psychedelia

Yes, fun 60's pop. Short songs, short album. Definitely a Beatles feel, but straying into some uniqueness. Not an everyday player, but I could see wanting to listen again.

This album is less than 30 minutes long and it still feels a bit like they had to scramble to fill it out. Basically it starts strong, then the last few track have a “will this do?” vibe.

Anything but electric

Struggled to finish this and it's only half an hour long

This starts out as a pretty good psychedelic rock album but then slowly degrades song by song until you get to the Toonerville Trolley

Very charming, surprised by the low rating

Beatles ordered on temu

11/12ths of the album was good, pretty straightforward classic garage/psych rock. 1/12ths of this was a song that I'm sure has a reason for being on the album but I can't say what. Some unusual ?baroque? rock on there too? Overall, I liked it; I would listen again.

Meh. Kind of weird kind of not good enough to get over a 3.

I really wanted to dig this one, especially with those gritty, fuzzy opening tracks. It’s got some cool psychedelic moments, but the whole thing feels like a total mess. It’s not really a cohesive album... just a bunch of songs thrown together, jumping from solid garage rock to weird, vaudeville-style filler that makes no sense.

The second half is a real drag, and the inconsistency is impossible to ignore. Those manic, novelty songs completely kill the dark, cool vibe they started with. I appreciate the few gems buried in there, but there’s just way too much skip-worthy fluff to make it a great listen. Honestly, just stick to the main singles and leave the rest of this headache inducing record alone.

The a-side of this is approaching 5* territory, there's definitely a fall-off but I kinda appreciate the eclectic nature of all of it? 4* might be a bit silly ultimately but I do like it a fair bit and frankly I'm starstruck by I Had Too Much to Dream Last Night which has to be one of the best psych rock songs of that decade

a primeira metade eh bem boa, garage psicodélico daquele modelo. já a segunda é fraca demais, credo
eh mediano, nada demais não

Yet another circle jerk entry on this list. The album's only claim to fame is that it's on this list.
I saw 'garage Rock" and thought I might be into it. But it's just Lo-Fi, '60S psychedelic bullshit

I mean, yeah, they were some of the first, but surely not some of the best.
