"well, i don't buy much stoner rock anymore. everybody got around to ripping everybody else off, and once you had a few essential bands, the rest was a waste of time. MRB, however, have a little more to offer than the regular kuyss/fumanchu ripoff.the sound on this album is really great. it's SO full. not that this is suprising for a stoner rock album, but i really enjoy this production! the other thing this album has goin for it is the vocalist. he's really beltin it out, and it doesn't sound really ordinary or copied. i dig his style. another thing that's great is that they slow it down at times, and write music that's not quite as "by the numbers" stoner rock. and the main reason to get music for the world beyond? it's the hooks, stupid..... i mean, man, it's just some smooth, catchy rock and roll. a nice addition to any rockin' collection...check out Mud-Crusher and More Beer....oh, the hooks!"
