Monster Magnet - Mastermind - October 25, 2010

I remember in 1999 when I was in middle school and my buddy told me to pick up a couple albums, they were Slipknot's self titled and Monster Magnet's "Powertrip." I'm very thankful I listened to him because Monster Magnet became one of my favorite bands of all time. This album is different from the rest , it is a lot more lethargic and mellow from their other unyielding albums. The lyrics are a lot more momentous and there is some very good story telling in this album by Dave Wyndorf himself but it does lack the actual "rock." I guess they needed a break from all the hard rockin' they have been doing for the past few years, this is their 8th album in the past 18 years of their existence. Also look at this album cover...its ridiculous, I need to mention that in this post because when I first saw it I thought it was a joke. But the album cover aside check it out and see if it hooks you at all and if you have never heard of Monster Magnet before I eminently ask you to check out "Powertrip" as well. You won't regret it.
