Usually ships in 24 hours | | | Monstrous. | | You can pretty much just look at the cover of this album and know it`s gonna be good. Anybody who`s drawn to the Magnet (no pun intended), should totally dig this. It`s their typical psychedelic-stoner-metal. I hesitate to say "Powertrip" is as good as "Dopes", but it`s roughly as rockin`. "Crop Circle" and the title track kick this off in grand style, and it doesn`t let up much after. "Space Lord" of course is the bomb, and drops like one. If looking for your first Monster Magnet disc, this is a good pick. Fans of The Atomic Bitchwax, Soundgarden, and QOTSA enjoy. | | | | "The Gods told me to relax..." | YES! This is the stuff, the righteous `n` raucous scalding stoner rock with brains and a heart and a sense of humor. So many bands profess to purvey it but almost none deliver the goods except Brother Wyndorf & Co.
Only two questions: Why did the Magnet not become mammoth stars? And how did the far less interesting Queens of the Stone Age get so dadblamed big?
Verily, these are eternal mysteries.
"I`m never gonna work another day in my life/The Gods told me to relax, they said I`m gonna get fixed up right." | | | | ROCKIN` OUT | | For how cheap you can obtain "Powertrip" for, you should take full advantage. This is their most mainstream record, but also rocks the most. By "rocks" of course, that means it doesn`t follow previous monster magnet material as much, but it`s a marvelously progressive record. Magnet evolves like every other band, but opposed to most other bands, Dave wyndorf`s naturally amazing song writing far excedes the standard to most evolving bands. "Powertrip" is Monster Magnet`s debut, to signify breaking out of the underground, but throughout their career sustain and posess that same great energy they`ve harnessed, and like a fine wine, has only gotten better with time. | | |
