Reviews4 stars out of 5 -- "The Monks came armed with a minimalist racket, frantic social diatribes, and churlish attitude that presaged punk...", 8 (out of 10) - "...While Paul Revere & the Raiders were still headlining Portland bowling alleys, and before `(I'm Not Your) Stepping Stone' had even been composed, the Monks were inventing a blitzkrieg bop far stronger than what soon followed...", Included in Mojo's The 67 Lost Albums You Must Own! - "Brutal punk rants about hate and war just when the 'peace and love' vibe was really kicking in....A head-driller of a rock 'n' roll record."", 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...the most precociously extreme, exuberantly screwy platter in rock history....Imagine the stark, raving dada of the Fugs bumrushing the crisp la-di-da of '60s Brit-pop...", "In 1966, BLACK MONK TIME was beyond the cutting edge, and today it's easy to hear what made it so innovative and challenging.", "The Monks' debut album perfectly fixes the forces of sexual frustration and anti-authoritarian opposition within a template bounded by insanely catchy melody, raw aggression, and unstoppable rhythm.", "...Speed-crazed GIs stationed in Germany take rock'n'roll down a truly mental tunnel of primal, repetitive mechanized beats...", 5 stars out of 5 -- "One of the wildest LPs ever. The bass is set to overdrive, the portable keyboards set to stun with blank stabs and manic runs....Colossal.", Ranked #25 in Mojo's "The 50 Most Out There Albums Of All Time" - "Their one LP is an artefact of almost supernatural prescience...", "Five discharged American GIs playing beat music in mid-'60s Germany....'Complication' remains the most credible antiwar song ever...", 5 stars out of 5 -- "Everything is as loud as everything else: feedback, martial drums, fuzz bass and an overamped banjo that sounds like the forked end of a crowbar being scratched on sheet metal."

The Monks - one of the great unsung bands!
what a great band! 1966 - way ahead of their time, a weird mix of so many styles, but the whole effect is joyous. Just a shame about the last two tracks added onto this version - a live rendering of Monk Chant instead, as performed at the beat club in '66, would have been far more fitting.
