5.0 out of 5 stars Beyond The Universe We Know, September 5, 2000

From the Boston-esque boogie of "The Astral Project" to the mellow but haunting guitar outro of "Star Shaped Cloud", this CD rocks hard. It will be evident to any listener with even a passing familiarity with hard rock that Orange Goblin owe a heavy debt to Black Sabbath: the chunky riffings build a crushing wall of sound that is broken here and there by softer guitar interludes; every where there are admonitions against mankind's brutal treatment of Mother Earth (and himself); there are even the trademark Ozzy "come ons" and "alright nows". But Orange Goblin are their own animal...they admirably attempt to develop their own sound by synthesizing their British influences (inc. Cream, Pink Floyd, and many others) and the results are incredible. To be sure, there are plenty of stoner anthems here ("Magic Carpet", "Song of the Purple Mushroom Fish", etc.), but OG are not just another weed band; their pagan spirituality and love of Tolkien (listen to "Lothlorien" and "Saruman's Dream") give most of the songs a deeper meaning and sincerity. This CD is so good that it's difficult to choose a favorite track! Thank the Gods that SOMEBODY out there still knows how to make REAL ROCK records.

4.0 out of 5 stars Orange Goblin -"Frequencies From Planet Ten"., November 15, 2003

I had heard and read intriguing things about this U.K. group, but had not had the pleasure of actually listening to them until quite recently, and I was NOT disappointed. Check out these tracks - 'Saruman's Wish", "Land of Secret Dreams", "Orange Goblin",,,aww heck, the whole thing's actually quite good. I've heard it classified as "stoner rock", but I think that might a term more commonly in use in the U.K.. If you like HEAVY-duty, fuzzy, Sabbath-inspired, retro-style space-metal with wild and spacey lyrics, you will LOVE these guys. The band is obviously very talented. I'd love to hear them played on North American radio more commonly. Makes METALLICA sound like whiney babies.Cheers!Simon

orange goblin came out with this great debut in 1999.orange goblin rocks!!they have been called space metal and stoner rock which is a good description.this debut is really good.when i first heard it i loved it!orange goblin reminds me of a very psychedelic version of metallica with some definite black sabbath influence.this album is one of their best releases.i just ordered the second album by goblin called time traveling blues that should be good judging by this debut album.for me the great cuts on this album are;land of secret dreams[check out the wierd trippy vocals],the aquatic fanatic,saruman,s wish,the song of the purple mushroom fish[nice hallucinogenic title]star shaped cloud,magic carpet and orange goblin and finally lothorian.if you like bands like sabbath and metallica and a sort of mixture of those two bands styles then orange goblin is defineatly well worth checking out.
