I bought Powertrip about four months ago. I must say that it has to be one of my favorite non-metal albums of the 90s. See You In Hell, Crop Circle, the title track, Temple Of Your Dreams, Space Lord. All killer songs.

What does everybody else think of them?

Definite hit. Dopes to Infinity and Powertrip are the only albums I've heard enough of to form an opinion, but they both rock. I need to listen to the more recent stuff.

From Superjudge on: HUGE HIT! The self-titled, Spine of God and the 25…Tab EP are hit or miss, mainly due to them being really trippy, drugged out stoner sludge or something. Superjudge is where they hit their stride. Anything before that is try-before-you-buy material.

I'm still wondering if the band is over. It's been over a year since Dave OD'd and not a word has been mentioned of it since. Their website remains stagnant, no new news has been posted, no updates, nothing. Dave could be a drooling retard right now. Who knows.

Haven't really listened to them, but Space Lord is a cool track.

Definite hit.







My mom went to school with their ex-guitarist. I think she might have smoked pot with him.

Well, whattayaknow!

Quote:
MONSTER MAGNET frontman Dave Wyndorf has returned to the studio with producer Matt Hyde to resume work on the band's new album.

Wyndorf was forced to halt work on the CD in February 2006 after overdosing on prescription drugs.

Hyde, who worked with MONSTER MAGNET on their "Powertrip" and "God Says No" releases, stated about the band's new CD back in March 2006, "I believe it has the potential to be their best record since 'Powertrip'."

MONSTER MAGNET's last studio album, "Monolithic Baby", was released in 2004 via SPV.

Of course, that could be some PR nonsense. And which one of your Blabbermouth emo fags voted Miss?

Hit. I don't listen to them too often, but hit all the way based on what I've heard, and also the half of their performance I caught at Sweden Rock '04 before going to see Brainstorm.

God Says No is on the way courtesy of lala.com

Is it pretty good? I heard it was really mellow for them.

It's definitely a great album. I wouldn't say it's mellow, but it's not as hard-hitting as other albums. There's a softness about the songs and their guitar tones and such, similar to the latest sound of Clutch albums. Stylistically, it's not very different from their other albums. You'll hear what I mean. It's a great album, regardless.

Excellent band- Powertrip and God Says No were both excellent albums... haven't heard Monolithic Baby yet, though.
