This is real good.  I hear some Spiderbags, some Greg Cartwright-era Deadly Snakes, and maybe some Titus Andronicus in the mix.  Those are the touchstones that I hear at least.

One of my very favorite albums from the 90s, it's like a perfect blending of arena rock and psychedelia. You get muscular, guitar-led rock songs with "Oh yeah"s and "Baby"s aplenty but lyrics about comic books, spaceships, and psychedelic drugs and song titles like "Negasonic Teenage Warhead," "Ego, The Living Planet," and "Look To Your Orb For the Warning."
I'll probably go into the wee hours.

Your definition of Monster Magnet (whom I've never heard to my knowledge) makes it sound like Clutch to me. Is this accurate?
You look like a really healthy Arthy Lang.

I suppose fans of one would be fans of the other, but to my ears Monster Magnet are much more psychedelic (as in the Nuggets boxes, Back from the Grave/Pebbles/Boulders/High in the Mid-Sixties/Scum of the Earth comps) and write better songs. And Dave Wyndorf's a better singer than Neil Fallon.

Here's a good starter track:

Clutch is a lot more metal than those guys. That wasn't bad but even though it seems like an unpopular choice amongst FOTs, I love Clutch (not the most recent album as much).

I assume you've heard  The Indestructible Beat... already.  Am I right Nec?

Yes I have, Fredericks. But this compilation is just as good, IMO. You should check it out.

I was shocked by the resemblance to The Association on a couple of these songs.
