Wrong. Stoner rock always wins!

I think you may as well be one of the best reviewers on this site man.

Awesome work, will probably check this one out.

Awesome review, greg. I couldn't agree more. And also, deathofasalesman is right, you have become such a great reviewer.

yeah you can tell they were really having fun making this record when you listen to that song. As mentioned before, this review needs to be featured.

"When we demo the vocals the way it works is that Steve feeds off of the music and sings wordless melodies. Then we listen to it over and over and write words based on what it sounds like Steve is saying" - SPIN track by track

Now it's starting to all make sense.

Is it just me or does their vocalist sound quite a bit like Chris Cornell (that's a compliment)?

First listen, really enjoyed this.

I don't think their vocals are all that alike despite quite similar register. The music, on the other hand, resembles Superunknown era Soundgarden at times.

Hmm this sounds like it would be right up my alley.

Digging: Kate Bush - The Dreaming

Yea I know Linkin Park also does that.

I thought the upbeat vocals were going to put me off this, but it's pretty good on first listen, really enjoying it. Soundgarden mixed with stoner rock sounds like my cup of tea. Pos'd as usual Greg, keep 'em coming.

Digging: Black Mountain - In the Future

Thanks mate. That's a really cool album you're digging.

Also check out the self-titled album by Floor. It's the previous band of Torche. Both LPs share the same approach to songwriting. Floor is much heavier though.

Album Rating: 3.0

Yeah, the Lowrider album is great, but not many ratings for it on here! Also been listening to the Lowrider/Nebula Split EP which is also worth trying out.

I'll have to get into the habit of writing reviews for some of these, it's a shame to see so few ratings for the likes of Fu Manchu, Nebula, Lowrider and Solace.

Cheers, I'll give Floor a go at some point as well.

Yeah I recently gave that Floor s/t a listen, it's more groove / heavyness and a little less pop sensibility than Torche, but it's good.
