Haha, glad ya liked it bro & cheers for checking it out! I dig the living shit out of this album from start to finish, just find the real experimental/psychedelic stuff kicks in at track 3, so said it for those that may not have been overly grabbed by the first 2 tunes. I had the last track 'Moons of neptune" pop up on my list of suggestions on youtube not that long ago & felt compelled to check it out & the song thoroughly proceeded to blow my fucking mind! Haven't stopped listening to the album ever since.

If I'm allowed to review my own album, I'd give it a 9.4. 8-)

Pretty fucking great, the warmth of the amps comes through amazing. Loved the tone, the bluesy licks. Can't really say anything bad about this album.

8.9/10

The first and last tracks were probably my favourite.

Also top right you can select the skip button and it will play though all the songs (the only one out of order is infinite), also doing this you'll get some broken hand bullshit after the last track.

Haha, that's right, forgot that was still up there. That was my shitty band at rehearsal when my singers voice kept fagging out on him during an intro to a song. Just made that private, so should only be The machine album on there now.

And yeah, last track 'moons of neptune' is by far my favourite on the album..

Sweet jams for my biscuit ears! X and Moons of Neptune were my standouts. Great bass and guitar interplay. Yum 7.5/10

Fucking great. That KYUSS tone . . . *drools*

Not 100% sold on the vocals, but they didn't detract in anyway.

7.5/10

The vocals were like 1% of the entire album.

Okay 3.5%, seems like you didn't listen to the entire album to call me out on that, there were vocals for less than a few minutes on like 2 tracks.

Cool review bro.

Well, I did, and there was a bit more than 1%. Even 3.5% is pretty unrealistic.

And this has now become the most stupid conversation I've had this weekend. Thank you.

Gonna have to back up Tyson here & say, Yeah their was pretty much fuck all vocals on the album ai. The way ya wrote it, implied he sings fairly regularly on the songs..

Well, one of the main reasons why the vocals didn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the album was because they weren't too noticeable.

*sigh*

7.5/10 after a proper listen and a half ... I like the minimal vox and the warm fuzzy sound makes me warm and fuzzy ... it's solid, but short of great, though that could mainly be due to the derivative nature of stoner rock-ish tunage at this point.

Wow, another one that I listened to, but didn't review. Bummer too, because this was one of the better picks, IMO.

Slightly too much noodling at times but most of the time it worked for me. And killer tones/effects throughout. Love the interplay between the musicians.

Right up there with the Crippled Black Phoenix pick. Great job from Busty... where is that hippie bastard these days?
