Monster Magnet - '25...Tab' (Caroline)

"Holy mother of all creatures great and small!This is actually supposed to be an EP?Boy,you sure had me fooled,with '25...Tab' clocking in at over 45 minutes,Monster Magnet mainman Dave Wyndorf and crew go WAY above and beyond the call of duty to put this outstanding release together.When I first got this disc,I remember playing it about like every other night.Simply could not get nearly enough of the 32-minute title track,'25...Tab'.And to think that some thought psychedelia was dead.NO WAY!!This'd be great to play at a late nighter's bash.The other two tracks,the 12-minute trippin' "Longhair" and "Lord 13" will provide the listener(s) with much aural pleasure as well.Nonetheless,a priceless psychedelic metallic(with much mayhem to offer)disc to own and treasure.If you can't hear Magnet's influences of Sabbath,Stooges,MC 5 and Hawkwind,you need to get your ears cleaned.Highly recommended."

IN THE SAME LEAGUE AS ALL OTHER MONSTER MAGNET ALBUMS

"This album is not an experimental ep to drift away from the average Monster Magnet sound, alot of people think so, but I disagree. I find the songs here to be just as rocking and melodic as any other Monster Magnet material on any of their other albums. The only throw here is the first track weighing in at a little over thirty minutes long, which I love by the way, more bands should write epics like that! Anyway, if you're a fan of Monster Magnet, this ep is a must, don't let it pass you by!"

"if you appreciate music that is way out there or your a huge fan of magnet then this is for you, otherwise, stay away. the fist song is thirty plus minutes long. the amazing thing is how the band played the same riff for so long or did they loop it? it really is a good groove but it gets repititive. the second song is fifteen minutes long and can make you weary just listening.
the next two songs are really good and not too long at all. there is also a hidden track which is another version of the song tractor. i love this band. amazing stuff. very black sabbath meets hawkwind. psychadelic rock with a heavy edge. good stuff if you have the ear for something different."
