Liquid metal

"THIS IS A GREAT CD. The first two songs rock up a blend ofSabbath, Jimi, and some Heavy A.. Jazzy s...! Not quite as hard astheir first album but it's heavy in a different way. I agree with some of the other guys who reviewed this one...it does kinda sputter out towards the end. You have to get cool in order to like this kinda music. If you ever jam out to Sabbath, COC, DOWN, Overkill, and other non-radio rock, you will appreciate the CD. END"

"Possibly the finest record of its kind since Monster Magnet's "Spine of God" (and that's saying something). Especially impressive considering the fact their first release on Atlantic was horrendous. The first half of the album is much stronger, as side two drifts a little too freely into jazz terrains for me (much like The Stooges "Fun House" in this way).An amazing release by a band I'd almost written off as inconsequential."

Creativity returns to rock

"Buy this record. Unless thick, heavy guitars turn you off (and judging by how many mediocre bands with heavy guitars have gone platinum in the past couple of years, they don't) this record will change the way you listen to music. Yes, the music literally makes you think. Think about what? you may ask. Well, think about music, mostly. This is truly a band's band, and it shows in the tempo changes, the off-kilter time signatures and the unusual jazzy compositions on the second half of the disc. Buyer beware! This is not Creed, or Days of The New, or even Stone Temple Pilots. This is music that took more than thirty seconds to write. This is music that has a life beyond verse-chorus-verse. This is music for evolution. Grow thumbs and pick up this record."

No Hustle Here!~!

"This album seems to be a great new breath of life into those groups that have deemed themselves as stoner rock, or rather is it the critics that group them into this catergory, anyway I digress. This album is certaintly a breath of fresh air. I seldom hear a group that has such obvious displays of musical diversity. They create a strange brew with the mixing of late 60s, early 70s rock,the late 60s, early 70s jazz,and several other style nuances. Several of the tracks on both the first side and second side remind me heavily of Miles Davis's Pangea period, and as some of you have already noted, the second side displays these Jazz influences heavily. However, the group still displays several different influences on the second side. See "Blues for Gus" for some phenominal blues playing. The Core's second album displays a phenominal mix of musical ideas that just draws you in, the pieces really fit together well. Finn Ryans' guitar playing really impresses me. His soloing style sometimes seems alot like Miles Davis's trumpet playing during his electric period. While Ryans' style continues to echo back to the blues dreched styles of Blue Cheer and Cream. The entire band deserves kudos for their playing. Carmine Perkin's bass playing if fantastic; you feel that in the pocket bass of the hippie era jazz, and yet he obviously displays the tricks of Jack Bruce,Entwhistle and other power players from the rock scenes.This is a fantastic record, I really hope they continue to produce such free and warm albums such as this one, and maybe their fan base will grow. I'm just saying that Core deserves some recognition for the awesome sounds they are producing!"

These guys are so awesome!

"You will only believe it if you hear it! This is the best rock album of the 90's and the best guitar work to come out since Hendrix died. If you don't love this record you're deaf. I saw these guys live and they are unbelievable!"
