These guys are still bringing it harder than ever. On their eleventh album, Dave Wyndorf and company have tried something new. Always experimenting with different covers throughout their career, they decided to go full-on and create an album of psychedelia covers and Jesus, does some of this absolutely smoke! <\/p>\n
The first real track, Hawkwind\u2019s \u201cBorn To Go,\u201d is one of their best ever; the instrumentation and Wyndorf\u2019s vocals are just exceptional. Even shortening the original manages to allow the listener to realize how great of a song it really is.<\/p>\n
This album allows the band to get wild and goofy as well. Check out the rare J.D. Blackfoot track \u201cEpitaph For A Head\u201d and you\u2019ll know what I\u2019m talking about. Pentagram\u2019s \u201cBe Forewarned\u201d comes across very heavy and menacing with Wyndorf wailing away and you believing that this may be the last voice you ever hear.<\/p>\n
Poobah\u2019s \u201cMr. Destroyer\u201d will leave you feel like you just took several trips and will need something equally strong to bring yourself down. One of the album\u2019s strongest moments comes when the band slows things down on \u201cDeath\u201d and it\u2019s one of the finest moments you\u2019ll hear on a metal record this year. When the band gets a bit more punk on the quick ripper \u201cIt\u2019s Trash,\u201d the goosebumps start coming up \u2013 this shit is that good!<\/p>\n
The album closer, Dust\u2019s 1972 \u201cLearning To Die,\u201d is a great musical exercise that is a fantastic way to close things out and show how influenced by obscure psych and hard rock this band has always been. Even thirty years on after making their debut, they have proven that they are still as powerful, dynamic, and frankly psychotic as they were back in their \u201890s heyday. The hair may be colored now and the theatres may be smaller, but the Magnet will be there to satisfy all of your negasonic desires!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":91,"featured_media":34320,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"artist":[6886],"rating":[5613],"class_list":["post-46155","review","type-review","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","artist-monster-magnet","rating-rating-a-minus"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/46155","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/review"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/91"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=46155"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/review\/46155\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34320"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=46155"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"artist","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/artist?post=46155"},{"taxonomy":"rating","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dailyvault.adishjain.in\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rating?post=46155"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
