4.0 out of 5 stars
Having all the combinations of being a great record., July 18, 2001
This review is from: Scroll & Its Combinations (Audio CD)
Wellwater Conspiracy is John McBain & Matt Cameron. McBain used to be in Monster Magnet, Cameron used to be in a band you might have heard of called Soundgarden. It's also one of the best bands in the world, but the world would probably never know that. Well, I think it's better off that way anyway.... If you're thinking Monster Magnet & Soundgarden, Well, I'm happy to tell you that you could not be anymore wrong. McBain & Cameron are very wise, and are leaving the grinding metal of their former bands at the door. Instead, they dive head first into 1960s rock & pop {back when those were not bad words} with a bit of prog rock thrown in for fun. The album in hand is their third, & with it they are doing just that. With songs like "C, Myself & Eye", "Of Dreams", "I Got Nightmares" & "Now Invisibly" among others; they bring back warm memories of a time long gone when rock music was real & played by real people. For me, there are only 2 setbacks to this album: First, it's way too short. Second, it's missing some of that raw, lo - fi feeling that I loved so much in the first record & is a bit too poppy & a bit less trippy for my liking. But that's all minor details, really. In an age ruled by fake rap metal bullshit, it's very good to have an album like this to remind you that all is not lost with rock.

Excellent cd., June 1, 2001
This review is from: Scroll & Its Combinations (Audio CD)
I bought the cd without actually knowing what I was getting but when I got it I was very glad I got it.WWC's sound is quite different but great.It has a little bit of old blue oyster cult feel to it but seems very fresh and not over produced or replicated.The guitars and overall music has a bright feel to it.I would definately recommend this cd to anyone looking for something different.Its a cd that you can put in the player and not wish to take it out.Everytime I listen to it, I can find something new in it.I hope they keep the momentum going and find time and energy to write another cd.

Great cd!, July 14, 2001
This review is from: Scroll & Its Combinations (Audio CD)
If you're a Soundgarden fan, grab it. Excellent disc, and suprising in the different sounds is offers. There is a bit of a 60's vibe, but it totally works.
