Rated 6/10

Especially some of the songs where they slow down are good. And I'm hearing the first real steps of blue-eyed soul.

Rated 6/10

I didn't hate this. Very 60s, but not in a bad way.

I started to listen to this in stereo. Don't do that, it's terrible. The mono version is much, much better.

I might listen again, but not anytime soon.

Rated 6/10

A little bit more than just Groovin'. Enjoyed. 3/5

Rated 6/10

Yea sure this is music. Pleasant even.

Rated 10/10

This was just really solid. Loved every song. Great listen.

Rated 4/10

Wow, that cover is...unsettling...After listening to this I'm not sure why it's on this list. It's alright and has a few good songs, but it doesn't seem particularly innovative or influential. Sounds like a load of other 60s bands that came before them!

Rated 6/10

First half of the album was like a Beatles and Monkees tribute act, with the second half taking a turn with a mature soulful set of tracks. As another reviewer on here said, "probably the blackest sounding white men I've heard".

Rated 4/10

Kinda boring 60s pop that very occasionally pushes its boundaries towards something interesting for a brief moment.

Rated 6/10

mmmm... lukewarm on this one... how can i be sure?

Rated 6/10

Another band Iv never listened to before. Enjoyable 60s pop, would listen to again, but wouldn’t say anything outstanding after a first listen.

Rated 8/10

Only about half the songs are on Spotify, which was a shame. Really enjoyed the songs I did hear. Not sure why they were not huge, or why they have been forgotten if they were a big deal.

Rated 6/10

I'm not sure that the entire album merits being on this list, but there were defintely some enjoyable tracks. Groovin' was certainly the star of the album for a reason, but what stuck with me the most was the diversity of sounds and styles on the album overall. If I were to listen to tracks like "A Girl Like You" and "I Don't Love You Anymore" alongside "You Better Run" or "A Place in the Sun", I'd have sworn they were entirely different bands. In the end, I'm glad to be introduced to the album.

Rated 6/10

Most of this just kinda passed me by, the final track "It's Love" is AMAZING though

Rated 6/10

I generally like this kind of 60s pop but as the album went on it wore thin with me, particularly when they got to "a place in the sun" which I thought was overdone.
