专辑介绍
by Ed Rivadavia
In a somewhat confusing next step from 2002's arguably career-best Gateway opus, 2004's Apogee features a somewhat haphazard grab bag of studio and live cuts from stoner sludge-masters Bongzilla. The fact that most of these hefty seven tracks have not been readily available to fans prior to Apogee's release is definitely a bonus (exceptions like &Witch Weed& and &Dealer McDope& were released early on in the band's career as vinyl 7& singles), but the overall absence of an album-like cohesion here can often make for distracted listening. Bongzilla's probably unhealthy habit (one of many, we're sure) of latching onto a single, vertigo-inducing riff for ten-plus minutes at a time (see the cleverly titled &H.P. Keefmaster& and &Grim Reefer&) certainly poses a challenge to the unprepared, and even those pre-equipped with industrial-sized bongs may find their minds wandering despite the generally incomprehensible, but otherwise sobering, spine-shivering shrieking of frontman Mike &Muleboy& Makela. Thankfully, Bongzilla's typical fans are a resilient bunch, and will likely get off big time on Apogee's live second half -- this being the first official release to contain such samples of the band as heard in their on-stage element. All others are referred to the aforementioned Gateway for their initiation to the smoky and dingy basement of sound haunted by Bongzilla.
