If your looking for the psychedelic Monster Magnet, go to their beginning 1990 and follow them until 1992. That stuff is powerful, psychedelic, spacy, much more experimental, with moog and alienated, really weird tunes from time to time. But definetly not the Space Metal thing they are doing now. 1990 Dave Wynberg, John McBain and Tim Cronin founded Monster Magnet. “Forget About Life, I’m High On Dope” was their slogan. They became famous in Germany, where their first records were released at Glitterhouse. If you want to shake your heads, buy those records. Spine of God is a definite must.
My advice for the present and future is to listen to John McBain's new band Wellwater Conspiracy. That stuff is also powerful and still psychedelic. Monster Magnet's actual full review Betti

We can sincerely say that this is the best band in the World and MultiVerse, both of which will belong to Us someday. So there.

p.s. We love you guys. Especially You, Dave. A & TTP

The first Dirty Americans album since parting ways with Roadrunner Records is finished and features Kid Rock keyboardist Jimmie Bones adding a very "Doors/Zepellin" vibe to the recordings.

"Black Feather" is available for a few weeks for free before its released.

This is also a quite psychedelic work. Heads explode is a promising title and a catchy tune with a forceful percussion and raw guitars. Good to hear the wellknown Stooges track 1970 in a new version. So don't hesitate to buy this record, even though your not a metal freak. Betti

This album is the highlight of the life of Monster Magnet, though it's not incredible. I picked it up myself for a cheap price and probably wouldn't have bought it otherwise. Yet, if hard rock is your cup of tea, this is something you'd probably enjoy. The best description I can come up with is the Beverly Hillbillies on steroids. Though I've never really felt the need to properly listen past track three, Space Lord. Space Lord and Powertrip (track 2) are the only songs that really grab my attention. Perhaps they shouldn't have placed them so early in the album. John Cheek

This is probably the best CD I've ever heard. Ever. It has renewed my faith that mindless pop and sappy love songs have not yet permeated every corner of the planet's collective soul.

I bought this CD based on the merits of 'Space Lord', the only song to get airplay in the US, I found myself completely engrossed in the complex musical themes and the unparalleled lyric concepts.

From 'Crop Circles' to 'Your Lies Become You' this CD has turned me into a true believer. Ginny Rivers
