The Monks were a short lived Krautrock band made up of American GIs living in Germany in the 60's. Their only album was "Black Monk Time". At the time it was largely ignored but decades later it was recognized as a great album that was a forerunner for both punk music and Krautrock. When I first started listening to this album I didn't like it but a few songs in it grew on me. The angry anti-war lyrics, the loud drumming and hyperactive guitar playing all made something stir inside me and I really got into it. It's a shame these guys didn't do more because I would've liked to hear other albums from them. 5/5.
Tracks I enjoyed the most: We Do Wie Du, Monk Time, Shut Up, I Hate You, That's My Girl.
