This was a strange one, I was a tad unsure what to expect but it doesn’t disappoint, there’s reflection in the album, deep thaughts and some classic Mac beats and flow, with some very concious yet sometimes comedic lyrics.
Scott's Pick: Cave In - Jupiter
Favourite Track: Big Riff
For Fans Of: Melvins, Deftones, Mastadon, Chelsea Wolfe
Great to see the bands ace second album finally in print again, a slight change atthe time to a more riffy space rock style. Certainly a sign of the band they were to become!

A very refreshing start to the year! Well written and soulful compositions with a modern sensibility featuring some crisp production courtesy of James Skelly.
