Review by KAZUMI KONDO

Album Review: Out Of My Mind You Made Me A Giant by The Improper Bostonians Released in 1967 under Minuteman Records, Out Of My Mind You Made Me A Giant is a raw, unfiltered slice of garage rock and folk rock goodness that captures the chaotic spirit of its era. Hailing from the US, The Improper Bostonians crafted an album that feels like a fever dream of youthful rebellion and introspection. It’s not perfect—heck, it doesn’t even try to be—but therein lies its charm. The opening track, “You Made Me A Giant,” hits you right out of the gate with its punchy guitar riffs and anthemic energy. There’s something about the way the vocals strain against the instrumentation, as if they’re fighting to be heard over the chaos. It's messy, but in the best way possible. This song sticks with you because it feels alive—it’s less about precision and more about emotion. You can almost picture the band crammed into a tiny studio, sweat dripping as they pour their hearts into every note. Then there’s the title track, “Out Of My Mind.” If “You Made Me A Giant” is the loud, unruly friend at the party, this one’s the quiet kid in the corner who has something profound to say when you finally listen. With its haunting melodies and introspective lyrics, it offers a stark contrast to the rest of the album. The harmonies here are rough around the edges, but that imperfection makes them feel real. It’s the kind of song that sneaks up on you long after the needle lifts off the record. What stands out most about Out Of My Mind You Made Me A Giant is how unapologetically human it is. These aren’t polished pop stars; these are people making music for the sheer love of it. Sure, some transitions feel clunky, and yeah, the production could’ve used another pass, but none of that really matters. What does matter is the authenticity—it’s got grit, heart, and just enough weirdness to keep things interesting. Reflecting on this album, I’m reminded of an old saying: “Don’t let perfection get in the way of good.” And honestly? That’s kinda beautiful. Who would’ve thought a scrappy little record from 1967 could still resonate so deeply today? Guess sometimes being a bit "improper" is exactly what the world needs.
