Thunderous, fuzzed-out, heavy metal with a touch of grunge. A definite mix of early-'70s
Black Sabbath and early
Metallica (without the thrash, but with the
James Hetfield vocals), with even a nod to
White Zombie. Massive emphasis on a the fuzzy bass and bass drum. Lots of thud thud thud boom boom boom and plenty of tempo change-ups during the songs. The album begins with a sample of Yoda, and there's even an
Aerosmith cover as the extra song on track number 39. Forget the discordant, overly aggressive and pre-adolescent tripe that masqueraded as "metal" on the radio at the turn of the 21st century; go for something that has a bit more meat on it. ~ Jeremy Salmon
