So The Electric Prunes. Never heard of them. This should surprise no one if you read my previous posts. However, I don't think they were ever that popular; they seem to fade out of existence at the end of the 60s. This was a pretty good album. The Electric Prunes have a very specific sound that embodies the era. The lead vocals are really spectacular. Towards the end, though, I got tired of it because of its lack of variation.
RATING: 3/5
The Electric Prunes did interesting things with the songs, even if they weren't all stellar. "Are You Lovin' Me More" sounds like it might have influenced The Go-Go's sound and maybe The B-52's too.
