Description
Debut LP release on Planaria Records (1999). I bought this record at their very first show in Philadelphia opening up for Spirit Caravan at The Killtime. At that point I was excited because it was "ex-Impossible Five". There were probably about 50 people there - all super surprised when the former mod kids started busting out stoner jams (at least I was). No Quarter Records kingpin Mike Quinn actually put the show on. So you could argue that if it wasn't for this show - there would never be any Earth reissues.
Dead Meadow's rock prowess can be found here in its full glory connecting the dots between Black Sabbath and Blue Cheer, Bardo Pond and Kyuss. One of Dead Meadow's best attributes is their ability to make records that totally grow on you and seep into your skin listen after listen. For fans of Blue Cheer and their fellow DC act Spirit Caravan. They're also reminiscent of a more jammed-out, psychedelic Sleep, but with some gentle touches -- there's even interludes of acoustic guitar indie-pop. It's definitely more "out-of-time" than most other stoner rock efforts, harking back not to the arenas of the '70s but to the garages and hippie pads of the late '60s. As such it stands apart from the current legions of Kyuss / Fu Manchu clones. The one weak point, the slightly whiny vocals, hardly matter amid the instrumental majesty of the electric fuzz guitar and bass action that dominates this album!
