"I've just listened to the new Caustic Resin and all I can say is "Oh my Lord"! I'm somewhat familar with the bands other works (owning both TRICK QUESTION and FLY ME TO THE MOON), but never have James, Brett, Tom and Kevin put out such an amazingly solid album. The CD has virtually no artwork or information, There aren't even any track listings (the only two tracks listed in the sleeve refer to mistakes from their last album's linear notes). And yet, the sound is awesome. Varying from far off, velvet tunneled acoustic pieces to straight out stoner/psychedelic tracks that hark back to Pink Floyd's MEDDLE days, the progression of songs keeps you locked in. The heavy bass lines are layed out like thick chunks of candy, sweet as can be. If your a fan of bands like Monster Magnet, Queens of the Stone Age or Kyuss, give this album a try- you'll thank yourself in the morning."
