Monster Magnet: Dave Wyndorf (vocals, guitar); Ed Mundel (guitar); Joe Calandria (bass); Jon Kleiman (drums). Additional personnel: Phil Caivano, John Flannery, Matt Hyde (guitar); Scott Garret (drums). Personnel: Dave Wyndorf (vocals, guitar); Ed Mundel, John Flannery, Matt Hyde , Philip Caivano (guitar); Jon Kleiman, Scott Garrett (drums). Audio Mixers: John Travis ; Matt Hyde ; Randy Staub . Recording information: North Vine Studios; NRG Recording Services. Unknown Contributor Role: Tim Cronin. Following 1995's DOPES TO INFINITY, which contained the successful single "Negasonic Teenage Warhead", Monster Magnet is back with a vengeance. POWERTRIP is a phat, funky, heavy, danceable record that assaults the senses. These guys rock, but with a flair and excitement that incorporates some other musical styles as well. Monster Magnet are a metal band for the 90's--plenty of thunderous riffage, accented by various other elements thrown into the mix. While POWERTRIP's first two tracks, "Crop Circle" and the title cut, are straight ahead heavy tunes, "Space Lord" ventures into some funky territory. With an acoustic intro, the track is reminiscent of early Red Hot Chilli Peppers or Mindfunk. "Temple Of Your Dreams" has a great dance groove and "19 Witches" has a Pulp Fictionish surf guitar feel to it. "See You In Hell" is straightforward rock with some keyboards thrown in, while "Tractor" goes the punk route. POWERTRIP, while definitely a heavy album, provides enough different styles to appeal to fans of any of the above mentioned genres. All in all, Monster Magnet goes outside the boundaries of traditional metal to produce a record of groove-laden depth.

New Jersey white-trash visionary and Monster Magnet frontman Dave Wyndorf spent most of the '80s and '90s dropping acid, popping pills, inhaling pungent weed, and churning out sludgy, drug-induced paeans to hedonistic abandon. And when he finally came down from his cosmic cloud, he realized the rest of the world was as messed up as he was. Addiction loomed everywhere--for power, money, and sex--and all Wyndorf could do was take out his notepad and marvel at the chaos. Monster Magnet's fourth album is a seething document of decay, corruption, and consumerism. "When you get tired of their crap, baby / Move over here and maybe buy some of mine," he shouts on the title track, while crashing power chords, throbbing bass, and tumbling drum fills resonate around him. Musically, Powertrip is less rambling and psychedelic than the group's past albums, owing as much to such confrontational garage rockers as the Stooges and Blue Cheer as to Black Sabbath. It's also more experimental. "Crop Circle" roars with blowtorch guitars and a circular groove; "19 Witches" and "Your Lies Become You" shiver with twanging surf-punk guitars; and "Space Lord" buzzes like a swarm of angry wasps. A powerful trip for sure, or as Wyndorf says in "Bummer," "If you want to spank your demons and make them pay. Baby I'm your man of the hour." --Jon Wiederhorn
Review
Wyndorf's lyrics may be absurd comicbook claptrap ... but Powertrip 's music is monstrously mind-bending. -- Entertainment Weekly

Powertrip is the second album I owned from MM and Dave Wyndorf's songwriting keeps me reeling. I own all of their albums now, but God Says No [Explicit ] and Powertrip are my favorite two albums.
They call this music Stoner Rock, but it seems more real to me than regular Metal or Rock, because Dave Wyndorf tells it like it is: he's all about women, money, pills and understanding. It does not get any better than that.
Like all MM albums I love the guitars, but the overall feeling I get is anticipation for another album.

A pesar de ser un vinilo doble no la carpeta es simple en lugar de abierta (gatefold) y ambos vinilos vienen en dos fundas impresas con fotografías y anotaciones sobre la época en la que se grabó el disco.
Los temas extras constan de dos caras B tituladas "Big God" y "The Game" incluídas originalmente en un EP de 1998, además de la remezcla "Space Lord (Intergalactic 7 Remix)".
La versión en doble CD cuenta con temas extra en directo, que pueden conseguirse con este vinilo utilizando la tarjeta con el código de descarga que se incluye.
Still, not that I could care less how many people are turning out to see them these days, cos I know I'll always been there to hear quality music such as this pumped out of a PA at high volume.
Containing the 'hit singles' Powertrip and Space Lord, plus quality deeper cuts such as Bummer and See You In Hell, this album is an all-round heavy rock classic.
Now known for being one of the leaders in the so-called Stoner Rock scene, Monster Magnet had been delivering huge slabs of psychedelic garage rock for many years before the release of this album. Touring with the likes of Soundgarden and White Zombie, and all the other bands that didn't seem to fit in with the usual heavy rock or metal offerings of the day.
With the creative mind of Dave Wyndorf at the helm, and a solid band including the stunning guitar player Ed Mundell, Monster Magnet never stood still. Each release delivered something new. Something extra. And on this release they delivered a bunch of tunes that baited the main-stream hard rock and metal crowd.
Their videos got regular rotation on MTV, and they landed a UK support slot with Rob Zombie (what a line-up that was!), but I just think that the record company didn't know what to do with them, because they couldn't be easily classified.
I bought the original when it was released, but now I get to grab myself a new 2CD version, which includes a rather superb cover of Kick Out The Jams (among other b-sides), and a run of live tracks. The liner notes are a nice bonus.
If you ever considered buying this or any other Monster Magnet album, but for some reason never got around to it, just do yourself a favour and treat yourself to this. You'll not be disappointed.
