5.0 out of 5 stars ... KICKS YOUR HIPPY A$$!!!, November 4, 2002

Better than Time Travelling Blues (which was also rad.) The guitars and bass are a bit more fuzzed out, drums a little faster, and vocals more aggro thanks to the production of ex-Kyuss/Obsessed bassist Scott Reeder. Hey, even John Garcia sings on two of these songs (another star.) A nice cover of We Bite by the Misfits is near the end of the album. Basically, combines all the goods of Kyuss's Wretch (fast rocking and heavy jams) with the refined sound of And the Circus Leaves Town (perfect bass and guitar tones.) ...

3.0 out of 5 stars Slipping a little, August 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Coup De Grace (Audio CD)

Orange Goblin's first 3 albums revived my faith in modern bands to produce good stuff. As an old timer who still has the Black Sabbath and Alice Cooper LPs that first appeared when I was a teenager, OG was a welcome discovery after a decade or three of whiny, self-absorbed [junk].

However, Coup de Grace just doesn't grab me the way the first three albums did. I like every song on every other album, but for some reason I just haven't been able to get into this one. The rhythms seem more frantic yet less powerful, and the vocals step out in front of the music rather than blending in with it. IMO 'Red Web', and to some extent 'Stinkin O Gin' would be the only exceptions.

I know bands evolve, its a fact of life, but since there aren't any other reviews of this album, I thought I'd toss this out here and hope for a return to roots that aren't that old for these guys yet!

4.0 out of 5 stars Orange Goblin has changed...and it is good, September 17, 2002

This CD is definately of a more hardcore slant v.s. the old style, slower sludge metal. I'll admit that it was the psychedelic tracks of previous albums (particularly "Frequences..") that turned me onto this band in the first place. But I love this new CD..much better than the last one, Big Black. The John Garcia (of Kyuss) tracks are just icing on the cake. This is a fantastic CD, but dont be looking for the psycho-stoner rock of before..this is a much more aggresive sound for them...and it is good. Enjoy!
