"Swervedriver, what can be said? Not enough really, this band has stood the test of time and still continues to put out astonishing albums. This is the import version of 99th dream, a few bonus tracks is well worth the purchase. Basically, if you can find anything from swervedriver that is not already on any of their albums you will be greatly satisfied. 99th Dream is a slight departure from the typical swervedriver sound. Delving more into the finer aspects of mild psychedelia, swervedriver have found another layer under their swirling wall of melodic rock, and they do it with ease! You will find after listening that the group has started to foucus on these finer aspects in the sound, it won't grab you right away like "Mezcal Head" did with it's second track "Duel" but still 99th dream has more of a slowly building appeal, that by the last track you will be completely immersed into this amazing blend of rock. Buy this, go home, turn up your stereo loud and sit back to enjoy the imagery of swervedriver's constantly melodic highway, it's a good ride!"
