5.0 out of 5 stars Monster Magnet - 'Superjudge' (A&M Records), February 6, 2005

By	Mike Reed (USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

'Superjudge' was Monster Magnet's second album as they were successfully achieving to bond together two genres,space rock and heavy metal.When I FIRST recieved this CD,I thought the band had one thing in common with artists like Warrior Soul,Voivod and Jane's Addiction in the way they had their very own signature sound.After my first listen to 'Superjudge',I thought MAYBE the group had a former member of Hawkwind with them.I looked at the info inside the CD's front cover and didn't feel all THAT silly when on my second listen,as I discovered they'd done a Hawkwind cover,mind you...of "Brainstorm".Keep in mind this was before I became a major Hawkfan.The other disc's ten cuts sort of reminded me of like a Jefferson Airplane-meets-Black Flag.However,it's noted that their main influences were Hawkwind,Stooges and Sabbath.I've seen Monster several times now and have even hung out with guitarist/vocalist/frontman Dave Wyndorf(who's a heck of a nice guy)twice now.The other tunes on this CD that had me nearly gasping for air were the gut-cruncher "Face Down","Cyclops Revolution",the raga popster "Black Balloon" and "Dinosaur Vacume".What a record!Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superjudge is an intravenious journey to outer space., May 28, 1999

By	"lordthirteen" (Center of the Universe) - See all my reviews

This is probably my very favorite Magnet slab. The ever sickening "overproduction" mistake is not present on this album. If Monster Magnet is the space rock, stoner sound they claim, than this is a supernova of a fix. The super saturated fuzz guitars swirl, and wind around driving "groove" balanced bass lines. Cascading, dark drum fills and rythms pound out the platform for this psychedelic orgasm. Wyndorf's vocals don't overpower the music, but blend into this psycho-space stew like mushrooms in tea. Buy it, and prepare yourself accordingly!

5.0 out of 5 stars dirty, dirty, dirty, February 17, 2002

By	Ian P. McIntosh "chuzzrocket" (boston) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

as others have pointed out this record is the bridge between Spine of God and all the other mm discs thru God says No. pschyadelia is in full effect here but over songs which sound like they were written in a chop shop behind a graveyard. Cage around the Sun in one of the best MM compositions ever. it sort of distills everything they're about, bridging creepily beautiful acid folk with '70s monster riffs. leader dave wyndorf sounds like he's having a blast being as comically over the top with the vocals as possible. all the songs are great, but rockers Face Down and Twin Earth are the full out treats, absolutely brilliant and decadent rock stuff. most people don't understand that monster magnet perform their music slightly tounge in cheek. once you get this, it's easy to get into how heavy and cool they are. superjudge, if you can deal with the slightly lo-fi production, is a classic.
