Album Notes & Community Reviews

Masterminded by Phil Spector, this album recontextualizes innocuous pop material through the overwhelming density of the 'Wall of Sound' production technique. The trio delivers heavily echoed, R&B-inflected vocals over massive layers of orchestrated percussion and roaring guitars. The project is a prime example of teenage pop being elevated to booming, Wagnerian proportions.
