just wandering what you all think of Monster Magnet and what the best albums are

Guest

One of my favorite bands! I think everything after Superjudge is absolutely awesome, and Superjudge is really really good. I do like the self-titled, Spine Of God and the Tab EP, but they're more trippy and drugged-out, with less structure. Still solid, but rough around the edges. Superjudge is where they pretty much started to hit their stride (that's the album the finally caught my attention).

Many consider Dopes To Infinity to be their classic. It's a killer album, and my favorite, but the others aren't close on its heels. Have you heard anything from them before? You could try Superjudge first. If you dig that one, you should love everything after.

Superjudge and Dopes To Infinity are both awesome records. Powertrip is a good record ,too.

I like these guys allot. They have a bit of a 70's vibe going, especially with their later material. If you're into retro or stoner type rock bands, you might like 'em, although they're not totally retro either. They have a pretty unique sound if you ask me. And any band that references Jack "King" Kirby (comic book LEGEND, look him up, kids) is A-OK in my book.

I believe my next Christmas gift card purchase will be their newest one. Check this topic for some additional comments...

The only M.M. disc I have is MONOLITHIC BABY!, but I love that album. Been meaning to pick up the new one but haven't had the chance yet.

To me they sound like a mythical super group consisting of Tony Iommi, Ace Frehley, two or three Ramones, and Kory Clarke (Warrior Soul) screaming over the top. Neat stuff.

Ha! I hear it.

Yeah, great band all around. The latest album has really grown on me. A bit different, more laid back and subtle, but really solid. Too bad it's getting ZERO promotion. Monolithic Baby was promoted pretty well. I guess overdosing isn't good for the career like it used to be.
