Usually ships in 24 hours | | | This CD smokes! | | Awesome debut mini-album from 2 ex-members of acclaimed stoner rockers (I hate that name, so from here on out, I will not use the genre term) Fu Manchu. The fuzzed-out swirling and furious guitars of Eddie Glass are most prevalent here, making every track almost too enjoyable to listen to! There ain`t a bad tune in the bunch (though my copy doesn`t have the extra tracks), and "Down the Highway" and "Let it Burn" are the biggest and baddest of the 6 contained here. Also of particular note is "Elevation," which is a completely rocking opener. Eddie also takes on the vocal chores here, and unlike other reviewers, I like `em. Hill from the abovementioned Manchu`ers he ain`t, but that`s ok. Nebula has carved out their own little niche in this growing retro-rock genre, and this is merely the starting point for it. The only downpoint for me, and the reason this is 4, not 5 stars, is the way too long Zeppelin ripoff "Raga in the Bloodshot Pyramid." It`s cool for about 90 seconds, then it`s 4 minutes too long. Eh, 5 out of 6 ain`t bad at all. If you dig this album (like I do), go get charged. Nebula becomes immaculate. | | | | shoulda bought CHROME LOCUST (...) | | This is an amature wannabe blue cheer knock off that sounds contrived. The CHROME LOCUST record is what this album wants to be. | | | | Stoner rock?INDEED!! | | Nebula is one of those bands that should be much bigger than they are.True,they do have a loyal following of stoner rock and doomheads,but outside of Cathedral and Black Sabbath fans,Nebula is largely unheard of.Let It Burn is a rare album just because it has the sort of down in the pants boogie you just don`t find in today`s artists at large.For a debut release,this is about as close to flawless as I would most likely ever hear.Truly not a bad tune in the bunch,and enough attitude to keep me interested.Not bad fellas,not bad indeed.41/2 stars.Just keep that hard rock a`comin. | | |
