(4 out of 5 stars)

"Good old-fashioned 'heavy stoner rock' here, to be fully and thoroughly take in. Eleven well produced and played tracks here that provides the listener(s) with a most memorable experience. Might be tagged as stoner rock,but Gas Giant seems to also have much of a psych edge too. When I first got this CD, I played it like every other day for maybe a month. Tunes I found myself looking forward to were the soaring "There's One", "Moonshake", the somewhat-ripping "Not A Man", "Back On The Headless"(love that stunning synth work), "Dragon's Cave" (couldn't help but to notice the H-E-A-V-Y guitar)and the fourteen-minute way-out there spaced-out psychedelic freak out, with plenty of fluid guitar "Safe Haven". This cut is worth the admission price alone. Line-up:Jesper-vocals, Stefan-guitar, Thomas-bass, Scott-synthesizer and Tommy-drums. Might appeal to fans of Monster Magnet, Kyuss and Electric Wizard. Simply, a must-have."
