Those familiar with their meandering psychedelic-blues guitar rock will welcome this 5th studio album to their catalog with open ears. Over the years they’ve refined their sound, moving slowly away from the bass-heavy murkiness of Black Sabbath to lusher neo-psychedelia embodied by bands like the Brian Jonestown Massacre and the Warlocks.
The AllMusic review of this album concludes with a skeptical "isn't stoner rock supposed to sound destructive?" For the sake of argument, I'll concede that Dead Meadow might be categorized as 'stoner rock,' but who's to say what type of sound that genre must possess? Perhaps the stoners wouldn't mind something mellow for a change.
