Monster Magnet's superhuman cartoon mindset becomes ever more grand with each album. Indeed, from the first chord of <I>God Says No</I>, 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 <I>Powertrip</I>) before tumbling into absolute mayhem at the chorus. Wyndorf plays the devil's advocate throughout <I>God Says No</I>, 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. <I>--Chris Campion</I>Album Description
Brand new fiffth album by this highly acclaimed alternative metal outfit, NOT scheduled to be released in the U.S. until 2001 because Interscope Records doesn't want it to get lost in the shuffle of big albums coming out in the fourth quarter of this year. Phantom thinks your customers that are fans of this hit biker rock/ metal group will say 'Yes' to 'God Says No', especially since Interscope Records hasn't even announced a rough time frame of when to expect the album in 2001! The album is powered by 14 Thigh-slapping, blood-pumping, brain-numbing bad-ass cuts sure to get your motor runnng. Includes the first single, 'Heads Explode'. And two bonus tracks, 'Silver Future' and 'I Want More'. 2000 release. Standard jewel case.Customer Reviews:

Just say No.......2001-02-01
The first track, "Melt", kicks off with a spare sense of musical foreboding sense before letting loose with the patented Magnet punch in the chops, thick, sludgy, relentless power chords smashing at your eardrums. "Doomsday", the third track, ups the ante, shifting the album into warp speed on a groove that would do the MC5 proud. "My Little Friend" and "All Shook Out" slink to a neanderthal beat that would daunt Grand Funk Railroad. "Queen of You" and "God Says No" slow it down without losing an ounce of heaviness, perhaps to deliver Wyndorf's pessimistic worldview all the more clearly.
Although Monster Magnet do not exactly break new ground, they continue to expand their repertoire, finding new textures and twists to slap onto their stoner rock blueprint - "Heads Explode" and "Kiss of the Scorpion" feature a 60s garage rock vibe, complete with organ, that channels the spirit of Louie, Louie and Psychotic Reaction. "Cry" indulges in an ominous, middle eastern sound, while "Take It" is a cheery little bossa nova (until you listen to the lyrics). For my money, though, the highlight is "Gravity Well", a crazed bit of space blues featuring a 'roided up slide guitar.
