When stoner rock legends Monster Magnet stated they were working on a new album after 3 years I knew this project would either make them or break them. After the failure of both of their previous releases, '4-Way Diablo' and 'Monolithic Baby', the Jersey boys definitely required a much different approach. They were in dire need of a proper restructure, so they went back a few years, stuck to their older sound, kept it simple and in the process created a sonic masterpiece which is incredibly compelling in its own fashion. The opening track "
Hallucination Bomb"goes straight for the jugular right from the start and keeps building momentum, track after track, especially after listening to "
100 Miles Away", you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Very solid release from Dave Wyndorf and the boys.
Monster Magnet vinyl is hard to acquire therefore I had to get this release off eBay about 7 months ago.
