Sorry to say but 5 great songs is enough:The sad state of affairs is that five great songs on any record now days is rare enough to make it a good record. Truly sad but that`s where I`m at these days.
This CD is super cool and worthy of many honorable notes. Such as "it totally rocks" and "this is the defining state of power rock" and it`s recorded beautifully well. I`ve put this CD on some of the finest equipment in the Hi-Fi audio industry and it stands up to any recording out there (even Sting...oh my god!) these guys have the full power of the industry behind them (hence the quality recording) but have not surrendered their commitment to super explosive power rock.
Fraught with clichı after clichı it still delivers. Electric Six could use a few of these tricks on their CD`s these guys understand their genre or "format" like Nirvana and the Beastie Boys (also examples of bands understanding what we want when we buy one of their records) Monster Magnet knows how to deliver the goods to their fans.
It`s BIG
It begs to be played loud
It compromises nothing for the format
It`s a pretty darn good CD for anybody who makes the claim to be a fan of rock... Do you? Better yet, can you?
I know you will...I did and it feels really good
