Not what should’ve been Terrorizer/ex-Napalm Death guitarist Jesse Pintado’s last work. A pillar of excellent throughout his career, he deserved a better end.
The band’s second effort in less than two years. The guitar sound is grander, the hooks more deadly, and the melodies more developed and instantly ear-catching.
This is what Big Black would’ve sounded like if they’d stayed together. Both are epic and demented, heart warming and horrifying, organic and electronic.
25 Tab is the second Monster Magnet album, easily the band’s most ambitious work, and a successful attempt to make the most psychedelic album of all time.
Really heavy rock; not metal, even as they absorbed that dynamic/language/attack as tots/post-tots as Black Flag rung their bell and called’m home to dinner.

Delaware skillfully blend melancholy and pop music together. They steal Keane, Placebo, and Snow Patrol blueprints and create melodic Britpop-inspired sound.
