Powertrip [CASSETTE]

Search: Witch
by: Monster Magnet

Release Date June 16, 1998
I've been a Monster Magnet fan since their very early stuff on Glitterhouse Records, but this album sucks (as do their subsequent ones)!

Its just not heavy enough and there's too big a departure from the Hawkwind/Sabbath/Stoner Rock template - it just sounds weak.

Wolfmother proved that they could do a successful homage to big dumb 70s Stoner Rock and they've stolen Monster Magnet's crown - sorry Dave, but its the Emperor's new clothes on this one and the positive reviews seem to come from post not pre-Dopes to Infinity fans.

Stick to the triumvirate of Spine of God, Superjudge and Dopes and don't waste your money on this.
