专辑介绍

by Ned Raggett

Having already shown that the world of drug-damaged early heavy metal-meets-space rock was well within their capability, Wyndorf and company took things to an even crazier level with Monster Magnet's major-label debut, Superjudge. Anyone taking anything on this album seriously, as some sort of satanic plot or anything like that, needs to just give up and go home -- the song titles alone are crazily ridiculous enough: &Cyclops Revolution,& &Elephant Bell,& &Dinosaur Vacume,& and the baldly but perfectly named &Stadium.& A couple of nods to musical roots surface -- the Willie Dixon-written classic &Evil (Is Going On)& kicks reasonable butt, but it's the storm through early Hawkwind standout &Brainstorm& that's the real signpost. There's more than a little of that British band throughout, only arguably even more strung out and insane, a celebration of a stoner culture that had persisted for years and looks set to always be around. Only the Dixon cover and &Black Balloon& stay at three minutes in length; everything else takes a little or a lot more time to satisfyingly sprawl, like the steady stomp of the title track or the monstrous &Cage Around the Sun.& Wyndorf's ear for composition, production, and playing is evident throughout -- everything is scaled for the biggest arena in the universe, while his voice positively compares with Ozzy Osbourne's early wailing, yet with a scraggly, rougher edge. Occasional acoustic guitar and sitar parts (with appropriate flanging) help in adding variety and more psychedelia to the proceedings, &Black Balloon& in particular ending Superjudge on a subtle, mysterious note. The spiraling riff explosions and solos of &Twin Earth& and &Dinosaur Vacume& are matched with strong rhythms (due credit to the team of Calandra and Kleiman, who never sound lazy), while any band with lyrics like &I cut off my own head/I don't need it where I'm going to go!& clearly knows how to get in touch with the unapologetic rawk fan out there.
