Monster Magnet Album: “Superjudge [Import Bonus Tracks]”

This is probably my very favorite Magnet slab. The ever sickening "overproduction" mistake is not present on this album. If Monster Magnet is the space rock, stoner sound they claim, than this is a supernova of a fix. The super saturated fuzz guitars swirl, and wind around driving "groove" balanced bass lines. Cascading, dark drum fills and rythms pound out the platform for this psychedelic orgasm. Wyndorf's vocals don't overpower the music, but blend into this psycho-space stew like mushrooms in tea. Buy it, and prepare yourself accordingly!

as others have pointed out this record is the bridge between Spine of God and all the other mm discs thru God says No. pschyadelia is in full effect here but over songs which sound like they were written in a chop shop behind a graveyard. Cage around the Sun in one of the best MM compositions ever. it sort of distills everything they're about, bridging creepily beautiful acid folk with '70s monster riffs. leader dave wyndorf sounds like he's having a blast being as comically over the top with the vocals as possible. all the songs are great, but rockers Face Down and Twin Earth are the full out treats, absolutely brilliant and decadent rock stuff. most people don't understand that monster magnet perform their music slightly tounge in cheek. once you get this, it's easy to get into how heavy and cool they are. superjudge, if you can deal with the slightly lo-fi production, is a classic.

Nevermind Welcome to Sky Valley, this is easily the best stoner/hard rock album i've ever heard. Monster Magnet were on top of their game with this release.

From the hard rocking Dinosaur Vacume to the middle-eastern tinted Black Balloon, this cd will have you headbanging in no time; something which was barely possible on Spine Of God.

This got more lovin' speed then your lonely souls can chew.

Yes, this album defines "Stoner Rock". This album deserves Epic Status. Considered by most that know their Monster Magnet to be the best album of Monster Magnet. Offers such gems as "cyclops Revolution", "Superjudge", "Cage Around the Sun", and the Hawkwind cover "Brainstorm". A highly recommended album that accepts no substitutes.

Monster Magnet returns from their drug-induced haze to powerslam your withered soul some more... Stripped down to the bare hard-rock essentials, Superjudge sheds some of Monster Magnet's earlier psychedelic experimentation (along with a guitar player) and adds ear-splitting leads and balls-out megasludge that'll sound perfect blasting out of your '72 Plymouth Duster. If their older stuff was Blue Cheer, then this stuff can only be described as Deep Purple... Smoke!
