This Demands Constant Rotation
Tommy | In Your Home | 04/30/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Ok, this changes everything. These guys have been shredding fret boards for a while now, and they have found their groove with Shivering King & Others. All this talk of Black Sabbath, and Zeppelin, Neil Young...it's just scratching the surface of this utmost fantastic band. This brings to mind an image of the Maryland based band, Clutch, getting lifted with Brian Jonestown Massacre, and the guys from MC5 in the living room of the dark, and comfortably psychedelic house of Blue Cheer. Dead Meadow have come to bring the jams to your living room, so sit down, turn it up, fire up, and let these guys show you a damn good time. It has been a long time coming, and is so powerful it slaps you in the face and demands to stay.Check out everything this band has to offer, other albums include: Their self-titled Dead Meadow, Howls from the Hills, and of course, Got Live If You Want It."
A new one from D.C.'s sledgehammer trio
Edwin W. Skinner | Rocky Mount, NC United States | 06/12/2003
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Another (in addition to "Got Live if You Want it") top-notch release from the the D.C. stoner rock/70's metal/space-punk group . . . Like Neil Young stuck in perpetual "My My, Hey Hey (Into the Black)" mode, these guys walk around with the Hammer of the Gods hanging from their pockets, hitting you with skronky, feedback-laden guitar that flattens you like a semi hitting a squirrel. So what if you can't understand all the lyrics? To a great degree, that's sorta the point: this is mood music for folks in a not-so-great mood. The words mean very little when the aural assault is as powerful as this. Picture your favorite Led Zep instrumental passages, done up by a trio of pissed-off, melancholy kids with a strong Neil Young/howlin' wolf (the animal, not the blues great) fetish. Worth every penny.If you're interested in the "Got Live . . ." review, check it out here at Amazon. Still working my way back to the early stuff . . ."
Another flawless masterpiece from Dead Meadow.

"Although it certainly wasn't bad, I was a little dissapointed with Dead Meadow's 2nd album, Howls From The Hills. It sounded a little too forced and dragged on, not in a good way. However, I knew that they had potential to make another masterpiece, much like their flawless debut. Well, they definetly went in the right direction with their 3rd album and first for Matador, Shivering Kings and Others. This is from, start to finish, a great album with absolutly no filler. From the drugged haze of I Love You Too to the psycadelic beauty of Raise The Sails, there's not a wasted note on this album.



This is also Dead Meadow at their most versatile. The new version of Everything's Goin' On is a cross between Black Sabbath and Spiritualized. Good Moanin' is a great track, with its heavy opening riff and long dragged out solos. At the end, there is a weird whistle playing an eerie melody. It fits the song very well.



The last 4 songs are good to go to sleep to. The title track has an interesting eastern-tinged melody, and Heaven is a great slow-paced ballad. Dead Meadow has definetly made a great album, and I hope they continue on this winning streak."
