Review by Fred Thomas

Still in their relative prime and releasing no less than three albums a year, surf stalwarts ' 1964 album  is the standard  experience, though a bit on the livelier side in its song selections. The strongest point comes in "Walk Don't Run '64," a reworking of the band's first hit that would go on to be the second time the band cracked the Top Ten with the same song. A spirited fuzz guitar arrangement on the endlessly covered public domain number "House of the Rising Sun" perks things up a bit, as do the pre-psychedelic echoey drum production and menacing undertones of "The Creeper." All said, most  records are pretty similar, but the bright moments on  hint at the band relaxing and having a little bit more fun than usual.
