Review
Fans of Kyuss, Desert Storm and Orange Goblin will find much to enjoy here. Though Jukebox Monkey add a more space rock vibe on songs such as Death On Mars, This Septic Isle, Liquid Mistress and Dictionary Of The Vulgar King. The instrumental work is another highlight of the album as these guys really know how to play their instruments to make an almighty impressive loud racket.
The album provides a true reflection on what to expect on the album. Epic riffs are the main order of business but this album has such an infectious groove that will soon have you under their spell. The lyrics even though way over the top at times, actually keep you entertained when merged with the heavy riffs.
Some people may think Jukebox Monkey don't offer anything new or original within the Stoner Rock/Metal scene. True, whilst that may be true in some aspects. You can't deny how exciting this album truly is. Jukebox Monkey wear their influences on their sleeves and they do it so well. The album has cool moments of Blues Rock appearing here and there.
It's the final two tracks – Crawling As The Crow Flies and Divisions – is where Jukebox Monkey excel at. As they offer 15 minutes of pure vintage Stoner Metal chaos and they leave you wanting more. The only downside of the album is that sometimes the production can be too loud at times and other times you want to hear more volume. It's only for a few moments but it shouldn't stop you enjoying this kick-ass album.
Excellent and Highly Recommended.
