| The best stoner rock album available... |
Nevermind Welcome to Sky Valley, this is easily the best stoner/hard rock album i`ve ever heard. Monster Magnet were on top of their game with this release.
From the hard rocking Dinosaur Vacume to the middle-eastern tinted Black Balloon, this cd will have you headbanging in no time; something which was barely possible on Spine Of God.
This got more lovin` speed then your lonely souls can chew. |

| Appearance Says Metal, I Say No |
Monster Magnet comes accross as heavy metal to most people. At this point, they were not. They came close in the late ninetees with the Powertrip CD and finally hit it after that.
Why do I say they are not metal on this CD? This band is notorious for an approach that is not standard. Call it slow, awkward, or even solo-laiden. This band shows the parts here. They just seem to like to show off their skills here one at a time or a few at a time. It also makes for awkward tracks that are not regular songs--more the format of acts like Type O Negative and Rush.
As for musically, this just is not heavy metal here. It has some scariness and some good solos. It seems to be more eerie or tribal and slightly gothic than it is hard, trash, in-your-face, pounding, or anything like that.
So what`s with the 4 stars? My negative-sounding explanation is just simply a description and disection. This is not like their current stuff or like metal, however I think that it is still their identity and it is one that I like. It`s almost like a band you love can do anything as long as it basically stays in the same genre and it will still be liked. I felt this way wholeheartedly about Megadeth`s Risk, Sponge`s Wax Ecstatic, and Seven Mary Three`s Rock Crown. |
