STONED GODS
GENEROUS
MARIA
Command of The New Rock
Lunasound 2002
People @ Lunasound have to be
really happy and excited about this release; this album is so amazing, so
good, Generous Maria is grown so much since that promo called strict nurse
(we reviewed it some time ago, check it out). I can say that they are not
the same band, something is happened to this guys, maybe too much LSD in
their coca-colas, or perhaps some other kind of shock, I don't know... but
the only thing I am sure of, is that this "Command of the New
Rock" is so exciting, so well played, so inspiring, that you need it
right now if you like stonerrock, fuzzrock, raw rock'n roll, hard'n heavy,
whatever you like, you need it.
Wanna talk about the vocals? Ok, they are great, very peculiar of Generous
Maria, very adrenalinic and with a great 'retro' feeling that I really
love. Wanna talk about the production? I don't know who produced this
record (I have a promo cd in my hands, so not everything is written there)
but, hey, the production is amazing, simply great... Wanna talk about the
guys' skills? They are also perfect... every solo, every riff, every bass
line, every rythmic is just as it should be. Finally, wanna talk about the
artwork? just a name: MALLEUS. I guarantee the artwork by Malleus Crew is
so beatiful, you can't imagine!
On this record you can expect to listen to some slow songs, to some real
psychedelics tunes and to many pure rock'n roll songs, and you will always
be satisfied; I truly think this record is a masterpiece, for sure a new
starting point for the Generous Maria, a real 'star' in the Lunasound
catalogue and I am sure you also should be proud of having it in your
collection of rock Cds.
So, a real MUST HAVE.
