A must for garage fans

(3 out of 5 stars)

""Psychotic Reaction" is one of those songs that never seems to die, and turns up on mid 1960s rock compilations far more often than you'd think given that the Count Five were one-hit wonders. Thankfully, most of the rest of this CD is cut from similar cloth. Lots of garage punks tried to emulate British rockers like the Yardbirds, but the Count Five came closer than most. If the production values on this CD were slightly better, it could almost pass for something recorded way back in Swinging London and to be very honest it is no worse (or better) than early LPs by the Kinks or the Dave Clark Five.

In other words, this music is pretty darned fun to listen to. Most garage punks made truly awful albums, but this one is a pleasant surprise because the good outweighs the bad. You'll probably eventually go back to listening only to the title song after a few listens, but I think any self-respecting garage punk will want this in their permanent collection. I'm glad I have mine!"
