According to the book this bad were somewhat reviled at the time, due to being a bit theatrical in their stage costumes and performance. They regularly featured on one of Dick Clark's tv shows, which did nothing to add to their 'cool'.
It's odd though that they were dismissed, because this is really good music! The album seems to veer between sounding unbelievably 60s and sounding totally fresh and like it could have just been released. One of the songs sounds vaguely like Ween, to my ears. At times it's garagey and punky, at other times it's perky and poppy... either way I would say it doesn't manage to be boring at all.
