Bobby 'Boris' Pickett & The Crypt Kickers Original Monster Mash was a monster themed album in which the novelty wears off very quickly. The title track was a US No. 1 hit single and reached No. 3 in the UK when re-released in 1973. (US:19)
“It features his monster smash Monster Mash and a lot of other monster themed music recorded to fill out the album. To be blunt, most of this material is filler. It is fun, silly stuff, but it's not great by any stretch of the imagination.”
“The early 60s were one of the most fun periods for pop music, exemplified well by this icon of the era. Sure it's ultra-commercial, but everything from that time was. Making money is what making music was all about. My only complaint about this album is that over the length of an entire LP, the mad scientist impersonation gets a little tired.”
“Its a fun little novelty album. Good one to play for Halloween, obviously.” “This is needlessly repetitive. But it is also awfully goofy and fun. Monster Mash is easily one of the greatest novelty songs.”
“This is a one of a kind experience album. Everyone knows the title song but, most 'ghouls' don’t know that an entire album exists. The title song and its B side Monster Mash Party are the best cuts, but there are some really outrageously weird tunes on this juvenile, but fun record.”
“The album comprises more or less similar monster-themed songs with witty lines. This is a cute album and makes fine background music for your Halloween party.”
