AllMusic[2]

The Monkee's Uncle is an album by Altamont.[3][4] It was released in 2005 through AntAcidAudio.[5]

Critical reception

[edit]

AllMusic wrote: "Highlights include the barnstorming album opener, 'Frank Bank,' the surprisingly up-tempo ditty 'El Stupido,' and the riff monster 'The Bloodening.'"[2] SF Weekly wrote that the album "represents a merrily uneasy alliance betwixt headbanging and finesse."[4] LA Weekly called the album "a binary black hole swallowing up pop and hard rock and spitting them out into other dimensions as noise and gentle terror."[6]
