Usually ships in 24 hours | | | No trips, but still solid | | What it is: a very solid rock album. What it isn`t: an acid trip on a 5-inch plastic disc. It sounds like Magnet has "matured", for better or for worse. Musically and lyrically far more coherent than anything they`ve done before, but the cost of mainstreaming is the loss of their famed psychedelic sound. It`s certainly one of the best rock albums of the last few years, but it`s not what Magnet fans are expecting. Don`t expect Wyndorf to blow your mind, but he will blow your eardrums. | | | | The best rock album of 2004 [which most people won`t hear] | As the Monster Magnet website declares: Rock Is Alive! Aside from MM and a few others, I can`t think of too many bands who can make that claim these days. With all the sound-alike down-tuned no-solo "rock" out there these days, Monolithic Baby! is a welcome return to old-school hard rock. It is just a great hard-rocking, wacky, fun listen, with all the good stuff you expect from Magnet: pounding rhythm section, overdriven guitars, and some shredding solos, capped off by Dave Wyndorf`s wacky view of the world. Definitely not as psychedelic as Spine Of God or even Dopes To Infinity, but overall, I think this is arguably their best work to date.
My song picks: Supercruel, Radiation Day, Monolithic and Master Of Light. | | | | Wow!!!!!!! This is a Real Real Solid Album.... | ...from start to finish. Almost every song on this album is supergreat. Pretty staightforward record. Guitar heaven. The songs that could`ve been left out are "there`s no way out of here" and "too bad", beacause those songs are cool but kind of... i dont know, should`ve been left out. The rest of the album is amazing specialy: Supercruel (WOOOOOOOOOWWWW), The Right Stuff (Straight Punk), Ultimate Everything (that song is awesome), Master Of Light (Yeah) and Radiation Day (Great great song. Great ROCK N ROLL record. This is the stuff i was looking for.
