Here's some classic garage rock from the sixties. Count Five was a cape-wearing band from San Jose, California. Their song Psychotic Reaction is recognized as a cornerstone garage rock & a precursor to the glam & punk movements. It's been covered by the likes of Television to The Cramps & ended up on the Pebbles compilation. So how's the rest of the album? Well they start things out by hitting you with 'a' Double Decker Bus. It's a driving beat with fuzzy guitar & harmonica with a killer drum break in the middle. There's a cover of The Who's My Generation, which falls short of Roger Daltrey's stuttering. Among some of the softer stuff there's the more Beatles-ish sounding She's Fine & the psychedelic solos in Peace Of Mind. Out In The Street hits fast more like The Animals. There's a lot to like on this record.
