“If you’ve never been a fan of , “” would not be a bad place to start. It is their most consistently satisfying release since their highly regarded second “Self Titled” release. Each track on the album seems to have something special to offer with the two track back-to-back combo of “Promoter” and “Regulator” standing out with a particularly excellent flow. It might seem odd that a band more than twelve years deep into their musical career may just now be reaching their creative peak. The slow and steady rise of both ‘s popularity and their own creative capabilities have paid off considerably with this release. Enjoy the rock.”

“The production is top notch. The guitar manages to be crisp but still have power and groove, as it should in this genre. The bass is prevalent but not overbearing, keeping the groove alive at all times without getting annoying. The nicest surprise was the subtle use of keyboards throughout the album. They add a nice atmosphere to many of the songs and are tastefully used, in other words, kept quiet so as not to lead the songs but kept evident to ensure the enjoyment of their presence. The drumming is also tasteful. When quiet is needed, they’re quiet. And likewise, when they should be loud, loud they are. I wholeheartedly recommend this album to anyone remotely interested in or to stoner rock in general. Or hell, check it out even if you’ve never heard the band or anything that you like in the genre. I’m not stoned and “” has still been kicking my ass.”
