| Post subject: | Hit Or Miss: Monster Magnet - Powertrip |
I don't care what SSMT says (or "used to say" since I can no longer find the review for this album on their webpage): I freaking love this record. Crop Circle, the title track, and See You In Hell are probably my three favorite songs on the album. But I also really like Temple Of Your Dreams, 19 Witches, and Third Eye Landslide. The other MM album I own is Dopes To Infinity, which a pretty good record. But Powertrip is better IMO. Perhaps MR should review this someday. |

There is no miss in Monster Magnet's catalog. I don't enjoy the first three—Monster Magnet, Tab, Spine of God—as much as I do the later albums, but they're all at least good. They really began to hit their stride with Superjudge, and have been nearly perfect since. |

They're pretty unique, to be honest. You'll find some comparisons with other "stoner" bands, maybe even The Doors, but you're better suited just giving them a listen. MONOLITHIC BABY! NEGASONIC TEENAGE WARHEAD SEE YOU IN HELL * UNBROKEN (HOTEL BABY) * That's the kind of song where The Doors similarities come in. Brilliant band. |

They're sort of in their own league. But, in terms of their style, I'd say they play semi-bluesy biker rock with an obvious stoner vibe (especially on their first few albums). Here are a few more great MM songs: Crop Circle Powertrip Dead Christmas - My favorite song off Dopes To Infinity |

I'd like to talk to the man that considers it a miss so he can be slapped in the face. Awesome CD, and they put on a great live show... I saw them about a year after that album came out. I honestly haven't listened to the band in awhile, but I remember not ever understanding what the hell the singer was going on about in the lyrics. Time to go dig up the CD. |
