The Monkees Head (180GV)

Uncut: 4 stars out of 5 -- "It remains, among many other things, a gleeful trashing of their teenybopper image, which in the case of the soundtrack diabolically resulted in the most thoughtful, elegiac music of their career."

Description by OLDIES.com:

The Monkees' psychedelicized Declaration of Independence. The soundtrack to The Monkees only feature film. Featuring: Porpoise Song and Circle Sky. Taken as an individual document on its own, this is an absorbing sound collage and stirring concept album that holds its own next to works by Radiohead and They Might Be Giants." -Daniel Johnson, Helium.com. "...a dizzying mixture of pop rock, nostalgia jazzy instrumentals, psychedelic broadsides and freewheeling power rock." -Stewart Lenig, The Twisted Tale of Glam Rock. Replicates the original "mirror" foil cover!

Mojo (Publisher) - p.110
3 stars out of 5 -- "[I]t's nice to hear mixes of the Bo Diddley-tinged psychedelic-country rocker 'Circle Sky' in which Mike Nesmith's vocal is intelligible..."
NME (Magazine) - 2/18/95, p.51
9 - Excellent Plus - "...an authentically important document of the time, alternating half a dozen intensely lovely songs (including Tork's mystical triumph 'Can You Dig It' plus Nesmith's rousing 'Circle Sky') with nonsense poetry and tripped out dialogue..."
