Search - Monster Magnet :: God Says No (Clean)

Monster Magnet's superhuman cartoon mindset becomes ever more grand with each album. Indeed, from the first chord of God Says No, you know you're in for a wild ride. "Melt" finds head Magnet Dave Wyndorf in his "world of pills." "Heads Explode" rolls along with the same mock Mod-fervor as "See You in Hell" (from 1998's Powertrip) before tumbling into absolute mayhem at the chorus. Wyndorf plays the devil's advocate throughout God Says No, switching between adulation toward--and a thirst for--the annihilation of his bitch/goddess foil on "Doomsday" and "Queen of You." The bare-bones, bluesy "Gravity Well" is as raw as it gets; it sounds like an updating of Son House's "John the Revelator." And Wyndorf faces his own judgment day on the sin-soaked title track, finally coming down on the side of the damned. --Chris Campion
