Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Robin has a very simple reason for his new solo record, after 17 years there is so much material that inspired and excited him, he thought it was about time to release at least a small amount of it. All who love his unmistakable voice are yearning to finally hear the new album. The new longplay 'Magnet' has been produced in Los Angeles and London. Robin chose Deacon to produce (well known for his success with K-Ci & JoJo, Mary J. Blige, Keith Sweat and Hinda Hicks). The record contains tracks written by Robin, Barry and Maurice, as well as other songwriters favored by Robin. Influenced by soul music, Robin decided to combine this with the magnificent lyrics and lush melodies which are his trademark. On the new album you will find all these elements in abundance plus some old tracks, which have been updated. SPV. 2003.

Greatest hits lp is the TAB....25.......2005-08-19

Just wanted to mention in reference to the review below: The God Says No album was kind of off because the master tapes were swiped and the band had to start from scratch again, so as a 'quickie-demo-sketchpad' album, damn fine, but yes, not their best. Monolithic had some nice meaty riffs, but its hard to keep a band going after 10 years, tours, albums, etc. MM is one of my faves, especially for keeping the torch of sludge-metal alive since the early 90s when such a style was against the grundge grain. Interested fans should check out current Doom Metal bands such as Electric Wizard, Organe Goblin, High on Fire, Sleep, and its worth the time travel trip to check out Hawkwind, a direct influence on MM. Hawkwind also is significant for being the band Lemmy was in right before good old who know who.
Here's feedback in your ear.

Who arranged this?!.......2005-06-10

Im quite disappointed by the track selection on this compilation. Ok, so its their best 'hits' but it is not anyway near a good reflection on what MM have produced over the years.

I think a 'best of' would have been more appropriate, as most of their terrific earlier stuff has been left out (i.e Pill shovel, Snake dance, Dinosaur Vacume, Superjudge, Cage around the sun.) I mean, when they have completely missed out anything from their first 2 (and best) LPs with the exception of black balloon, its does them no justice. Furthermore, it seems the collaboration is centered around the Powertrip album with tracks from that taking presidence. Im guessing they are simply trying to appeal more to fans that got into MM later on.

Another thing, 'Melt' and 'Heads Explode' are the only songs from God says no that deserve a place on such a cd. The album was a huge letdown and an insult to most of Monster Magnet older fans. Here's how this set should have looked:

1. Pill Shovel
2. Negasonic Teenage Warhead
3. Space Lord
4. Cage around the sun
5. Bummer
6. Dinosaur Vacume
7. Look to your orb for the warning
8. Dopes to infinity
9. Face down
10. Dead Christmas
11. Snake Dance
12. Atomic Clock
13. Nod scene
14. Heads explode
15. Tractor
16. Superjudge

My bad if that doesnt actually fit onto a cd but you get the idea. Anyone unfamiliar with the song 'Superjudge' from the respectively titled LP should give that a listen and tell me if it not the way to round off such an album. Now, i disagree that MM are on their last legs as one reviewer suggested, but i think if they had to release a personal compilation, they could have produced a much better and fairer one than this. The videos are pretty good; the extra tracks are modest so if your a completist, it's worth buying for these too. Be warned, if you are new to Monster Magnet and just want a taste of the band, you wont get a true idea or interpretation of the group from this.

PS. Monolithic Baby that was released last year is much better than God Says no, but still not up to the standard of their first 4 LPs. Still, a worthy purchase.

good not great.......2004-12-15

This a good compilation with the videos,it came out at the same time as Rob Zombies Greatest hits which came with a dvd of videos why are these videos on cdrom isn't that a bit passe now why weren't these clips put on dvd or vcd format.

Monster Magnet's Last A&M Recording.......2004-02-22

Don't think that this band is on its last leg...nothing could be further from the truth. The simple fact is that A&M just didn't promote them effectively. They are a great band and they have a lot more to offer. Get their newest album Monolithic Baby! on Steamhammer records and by all means, purchase this one if you're not familiar with their earlier work.

Great band........2004-01-27

What do you mean when they "start" rerecording their own material? Tractor was rerecorded on Powertrip, and Medicine for God Says No. And they do offer something new, as
17. Unsolid
18. Big God
19. Into The Void
are NOT on previous albums.

Album Description

2003 debut album follows a series of spine chilling & widely acclaimed EPs. The album is a beautiful & bold statement of intent. Powerful, dark, individual, creative - everything you'd expect in a great debut. 11 tracks including a cover of Dylan's 'Lay Lady Lay' (with Gemma Hayes), packaged in a digipak. Ultimate Dilemma.

Album Details

Powerful, Dark, Individual, Creative- Everything You Would Expect from a Great Debut Album. Johansen Has Been Likened to Many Classic and Contemporary Artists from Thom Yorke Tothe Sugarcubes Via Glenn Campbell and Air, but "on Your Side" Will Establish his Own Identity as a Purveyor of Sinister Yet Achingly Powerful Lullabies, Blissful Sweet Relief and Melodious Wonderment.

Customer Reviews:

Beautifull chilled out alternative music..........2004-01-14

This is an amazing cd. The music is all excruciatingly beautiful and melodic. The orchestrations that accompany the lead singers mezmerizing vocals really bring out some strong feelings and make the songs more powerful. I love the song LAY LADY LAY which is a cover of a Bob Dylan song. Other highlights for me include I'LL COME ALONG, SMILE TO THE WORLD, THE DAY WE LEFT TOWN, ON YOUR SIDE, AND OVERJOYED. Buy this cd if you are a fan of Radiohead, Sigur Ros, Coldplay, Air, The Cardigans and other alternative groups like that. This cd is well worth the price!

Cool Water.......2003-10-18

I heard the song "Where Happiness Lives" on a compilation CD from UNCUT magazine. I was moved by its beauty and the meshing of steel guitars with lush strings. After buying the CD and listening to all of the songs, I feel like someone has poured cool water over my ears. Sigur Ros, Radiohead, Bjork, and Jeff Buckley rolled into one! That said, it is still completely original. Even Johansen, if you read this, thank you for making this music. Soul.

Peace,
Vivillo

Gem of an album.......2003-10-08

Magnet create dreamy, ethereal music for weary late nights and gentle heartbreak. I was drawn to this CD with the quite incredible single 'The Day We Left Town', which is surely one of the songs of 2003, a simply perfect blend of off-kilter strings, sound effects and heart-rendering vocals, balladic yet grandiose and full of ambition, in stark contrast to much of the modern indie scene. The album delivers much more of the same and is a true, flowing mood CD: a perfect soundtrack for late-night comedown - not some cliched chillout or indie but touching, imaginative songwriting. Other highlights include the pastoral 'Where Happiness Lives' and the almost Eastern closer 'Smile To The World'. Like a blend of Jeff Buckley, Conor Oberst and Mercury Rev. Reccomended.
