Monster Magnet
God Says No
A&M
Rating: 4 Flaming Goat Heads
Monster Magnet's Dave Wyndorf has exploited his artistic freedom like a lyrical Caligula by taking God Says No even deeper into the exploitation of hedonism, power, immortality and god-like self-admiration. Combining the experimentation of Dopes to Infinity with the slick songwriting of Powertrip, God Says No overwhelms the senses with swarms of guitars, pelvis pumping grooves and swirling alien psych-rock. The high testosterone lyrics range from apocalyptic to de Sade-ish with snappers like, "Children of the atom/Let's get together and die" (in "All Shook Out") and "It's time you suck the cock of the fire god" (in "Kiss Of The Scorpion," which sounds like Ronnie James Dio fronting the Doors). As much as Wyndorf is a man's man, he does throw a bone with "Queen Of You," which is penned from a female perspective. The nearly two-minute musical outro of "My Little Friend" defines Monster Magnet - excessive, indulgent and proud of it.-Cliff Frantz
