Editorial Reviews

One of the true ultimates in so-bad-it's-sublime listening. This collection culls the most interesting results of the famously bad recording careers of Star Trek's Kirk and Spock, both of whom recorded albums in the late 1960s. William Shatner's seven cuts all stem from his notorious album The Transformed Man, which the liner notes here aptly describe as "a bewildering collision of Dylan, Shakespeare, and the Beatles, narrated over a strangely disconnected free-for-all." Leonard Nimoy, meanwhile, gets considerably more attention, owing to his having recorded five (!) albums of "musical" material -- mostly covers of folk-rock contemporary tunes. He turns in no genuinely good material, but his unsteady attempts at carrying a tune are worth more than a few laughs, whether in his struggles to keep the meter in "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" or his attempts to channel the "spirit" of Spock in "Highly Illogical" and "Spock Thoughts" (the latter of which is actually "Desiderata"). Although a high rating seems inappropriate for a collection such as this, Spaced Out is actually a must-have for ironists who wish to impress their friends with pop culture detritus. ~ Joseph McCombs, All Music Guide All Music Guide

November 28, 2005: To quote (approximately) the character Enid from "Ghost World" (Thora Birch's character), "This is so bad, it's good, then back to bad again." I would add that it wraps back around to good yet again if you listen long enough. William Shatner's pants on the CD jacket are the perfect metaphor for the songs. Also look at how it appears someone awkwardly jammed Shatner's fingers into a chord position instructing him to hold on for dear life while the photographer snapped off a shot. The CD's own inside jacket describes the material as "bewildering".

May 28, 2003: I could sum up this CD with a quote from Leonard Nimoy's apperance on the monorail episode of the Simpsons. Nimoy- "Well, it looks like my work here is done." Fellow monorail passenger- "You didn't do anything." Nimoy- (chuckles knowingly) "Didn't I?"
