(March 2023) Episode 483 of the “opus project” is MONSTER MAGNET. I didn’t know exactly what I was expected, but overall what I got what less than that. However, the first three albums are a fantastic run of space rock, a mix of Hawkwind, Spaceman 3 and Alice in Chains. But in the mid-90s they dispensed with the fun insanity and switched (sold out?) to a more radio/music video friendly hard rock sound, which bored me for seven albums. Their most recent two albums mark somewhat of a return to the spacey sound.
Favorite album: Spine of God
Favorite song: Black Mastermind
Best freakout dirge: Tab
Compared to expectations: ↓
Recommendation: the first three albums: Spine of God, Superjudge, Tab (technically an EP)
