4.0 out of 5 stars Having all the combinations of being a great record., July 18, 2001

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars McBain & Co. Does It Again, May 23, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Scroll and Its Combinations (Audio CD)

The third CD from this underground Seattle supergroup - and the best one yet. The sophistocation of playing and level of songwriting is reaching ever greater altitudes with this band. This Lp is destined to be a classic: file alongside Pet Sounds, Begin Here, Evolution, Easter Everywhere and Chairs Missing.

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.
