peacedogman.com by Schwankie Please excuse the random comments on building detonation below. Somehow, they seemed appropriate for the review of this album. "With hundreds of spectators and temporarily displaced neighbors looking on, the fire marshal did one last check-through the abandoned building." Nilsson and crew are back with 10 tracks of molten crushroom rock. And, just like the last one, this dog comes out a-swingin’. "Iron Cage" knocks ya back with an absolutely liquid groove and Nilsson’s gruff ENTOMBED-style bark…like chuggin’ a can ‘o JOLT cola at 7am. "A stocatto of muffled blasts preceded the building’s slow descent into a powdery cloud of white dust, destroying itself from its western to eastern end…" While you’re still up against the ropes from "Cage" and "Don’t Ask Me Where I Stand", the perfect supernaut desert crunch of "Let it Go" slugs ya again. The tempo change a couple of minutes in gives way to a fiery shower of Joakim Thell’s wah-wah shards, and the organic warmth of Nilsson’s clean vox. Plus, the space-blooze of the closer "Be the Same" is another opportunity to bask in Nilsson’s top-shelf Bowie croon range as well. MRB’S "Simsalabim" had nothing on this album. "The blast set off all car alarms within a 10 block radius" "Back off" kills bugs dead with a Geezer Butler bass intro that descends into a psychey 70’s jam, not unlike Sab’s colossal "The Writ" from ’75. Besides the excellent title, "There Must Be Better Ways of Losing your Mind" is our pick for strongest track on the album for the forklift-heavy riffs comin’ atcha like a torrent of paintballs. The whole thing is so tight, so cool, and so heavy….it almost sounds inhuman.
