5 out of 5 stars Best buy of the year for me (I meant to rate this 4 stars).......2006-12-16

I was looking at this while exploring to expand my Stoner Rock collection (which I'm an avid fan of) and when I saw the price there was absolutely no reason I shouldn't pick this up. Now, I've owned this CD for about a month and I've easily listened to it 20 times. I read a complaint about the less than stellar sound quality but I enjoyed the more gritty sound it provides, it gives you a more dirty and "metal" feeling while listening to it. One thing I noticed after my first listen was that they are HEAVILY influenced by my favorite Stoner Rock band, Monster Magnet. Hell, the chorus of Nebula Mask is the exact rythem of King of Mars, they had a song called Gravity Well (which by the way is my favorite song on the album) which is the name of a song on Monster Magnet's God Says No, and a song called Monolith which is quite similar to Monster Magnet's new album Monolithic Baby (even though that came out just last year and Neanderthal Speedway came out in '99). But after I looked at the side notes Ed Mundell and Tim Cronin (guitarist and Drummer of Monster Magnet) were in 3 of the songs, I wondered what my strange atraction to this album was! I wish there was a way to give this a 4.5 stars but since there wasn't, I simply can't give this album 5 stars because for one, These guys have no idea of putting flow into albums. Putting Nebula Mask as the first song on the album was idiotic, also ending with Monolith, both great song just horribly arranged. they obviously had no idea how to put together a cohesive album. Also toward the middle of the album, they recycle quite a bit of fills and effects so it started getting a little stale, but then Cloud King comes on and from then on the album becomes massivley more interesting. Best songs off this album I would say are Nebula Mask, Firebreather, Cloud King, Gravity Well, and Monolith. even with my complaints this is still an amzing album, pick it up ASAP.

5 out of 5 stars A good suite followed stoner rock.......2006-07-13

Aside from the fact it sounds like it was recorded in a garage (hey, let's face it, Not all of us can have nop notch recording equipment when beginning a record career), this record is some good listening. This band is in the vein of Kyuss, Monster Magnet, Fu Manchu, and you get the point. With how cheap you can get this cd, it's worth your time.

5 out of 5 stars Enough grooove and rock to melt tons of butter!!!.......1999-07-23

Pick a band, not one comes close to SOLARIZED. I was never into Indie labels but with no other choice I was forced. I could settle for Ricky Martian or that little teen-age lush but would never sleep sound again. Enter SOLARIZED the type of rock and pure skills that has become a mere shadow to major labels. All the good rock bands are slowly drifting away. I believe This CD and some other bands coming from the NJ, MD and MASS rock scenes are claiming that ground again. In a nutshell, if you want great music and you dig stoner and other kinds of rock, then this is your messiah. Amen!

5 out of 5 stars This CD is a must have!!!!!.......1999-03-01

I first caught Solarized at the Court Tavern in New Brunswick, they played a set that literally left my jaw hanging on the floor! I later found out from their front man Jim Hogan, that this set would be on their forthcoming cd Neanderthal Speedway. I said back then I could'nt wait to get my hands on it. The Jersey Devils ep was a great appetizer, but now I'm ready for the main course. If you're tired of all of the homoginized milksop music they force feed on the radio, then get this album. You won't be disappointed.
