5.0 out of 5 stars John McBain's Last Trip, July 11, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Tab (Audio CD)

Of all the albums that had ever succeeded at recreating the drug experience on vinyl, ("The Piper at the Gates of Dawn," "The Parable of Arable Land" and "Space Ritual" come immediately to mind) nothing comes close to the power and tripping intensity of "25...TAB." "TAB," the 32 minute title track, features the sonic equilvalent of a sheet of blotter acid layered over a hypnotically rhythmic bass line. But my favorite track here is "Longhair," which is guitarist John McBain's crack baby all the way. Although this record was recorded before the "Spine of God" album, it is the last recording to be released by Monster Magnet that had most of the original lineup, (early vocalist Tim Cronin not withstanding).

"25...Tab" is the ultimate trip!

5.0 out of 5 stars Not Reccomended for Airplay., June 28, 2001

Let me first let you know of the common mistake on people's take of TAB. People think they are buying an album from a rock band. If that is what you are looking for, buy Powertrip. Tab is a glimpse into the soul of Monster Magent that few bands have been brave enough (or had enough freedom from their record companies) to do. The opening track is a 32 minute ride through the darkest part of space in '69 GTO Judge.... the only concern is, the beast's Manifold is cracked and it is leaking toxic fumes into you breathing chamber! It is not a song, it is a psychedellic journey throuh the band's "altered" state. This album is 60's fuzz driven through a blown Leslie speaker the size of God. Creative... free.. and as psychedellic as that legendary Window Payne. This is an album you relax, get high, and float off to planets yet undiscovered by science. The way Magnet intended. Many won't get it. The one's who do will be saved.

5.0 out of 5 stars for fans only, February 28, 2003

if you appreciate music that is way out there or your a huge fan of magnet then this is for you, otherwise, stay away. the fist song is thirty plus minutes long. the amazing thing is how the band played the same riff for so long or did they loop it? it really is a good groove but it gets repititive. the second song is fifteen minutes long and can make you weary just listening.
the next two songs are really good and not too long at all. there is also a hidden track which is another version of the song tractor. i love this band. amazing stuff. very black sabbath meets hawkwind. psychadelic rock with a heavy edge. good stuff if you have the ear for something different.
