Good Heavy, Bluesy Stuff.......2006-06-19

This is the first CD I bought from this band. This band rocks and is as tight as a drum. These guys can play no doubt. Heavy guitars, groovy bass lines, some cool time changes, and good dynamics in the tunes. I would compare them to Black Sabbath, Monster Magnet, Fu Manchu, and Kyuss. This would definitely be the CD to slip in when you feel the party waning. Not too "metal" and not too "sludgy." I can see this as a CD that the metal fans and good old rockers could agree on. The one thing that brings it down is the lyrics. They can't seem to get away from singing about flying to the sun, the planets and sky, tomorrow and yesterday, and for some reason the singer feels the need to end every other line with the word "baby." A lot of "stock" space rock kind of stoner references. I understand that's where they are coming from as a band, but it just too superficial lyrics wise for me. This album could totally work as an instrumental work. Just kind of feels like they threw the lyrics together just to have some. My favorite tune would be Time Travelling Blues. It's one of the tunes that actually opens up and breaths and really shows the band's musicality. But the music itself is great and keeps me coming back and I'm definitely going to check out their subsequent releases. Hopefully, lyric wise, they get away from singing about the sun.

Stonkingly fantastic blues metal.......2005-08-08

I had never heard anything by Orange Goblin, or even heard of them, until I saw their first record "Frequencies from Planet 10" in a record store, and I bought it for their name alone. I was not disappointed.
If you liked the first record, this is very much in a similar vein to it - only with even heavier grooves and a move towards a more Skynard influenced sound than the previous Sabbath one.
The album is one huge trip, with only a few tracks standing out and distinguishing themselves - Blue Snow, Lunarville 7, Airlock 3 and Time travelling Blues (the title track) to name a few. They all meld together and produce a sound that is, for want of a better expression, damned awesome.

Orange Goblin.......2005-03-18

I'm not a kid, kinda wished I was again but oh well. I couldn't help bu review this. This review covers everything Orange Goblin has put out, it is great. Very good riffs, as can be expected from the, "stoner" bands, has a groove to it that makes you see lava lamps. I like to call it, "feel-good rock". Kyuss, Queens of Stone Age, Fu Manchu, Monster Magnet, Dozer, Hermano, I can go on and on and believe I'm getting older and sometimes I do go on and on. A few of the other reviewers made interesting comments. One was talking about not liking Metallica because of the angry lyrics, agreed 100%. I have been sick of the typical metal bands since Metallica's Load album. I'm not at all knocking them because Metallica is a great band but it's nice to hear bands like Orange Goblin and the ones I named that sound like they are just a bunch guys out jamming til the sun rises. My wife who despises heavy metal has found that she even likes the stoner rock bands but if I throw Slayer in she gets up and leaves the room. Did someone say they dance to this music? Alright now, I'm not trying to make this a macho review but unless you are a female, thigh-high boots and fishnet hose on, I don't need to know but I ger what you are saying, it's the groove of it. The last is the person who said to get Clutch. Clutch is a great band and I have been a fan since they come out but don't go ripping another stoner band, go review a rap cd and tell them to listen to Clutch. Most people reading these know who Clutch is. Horns up, hair flying....

Thoughts from someone who didn't like Metal.......2004-01-01

First, let me be honest here: I don't really know how to "critique" a band, and I really don't have any business judging whether a band is "good" or not, but IMHO Orange Goblin is simply one of the best bands out there recording today. I never liked Metallica and the lot of the popular metal bands, because even though I recognized they were immensely talented, it all just sounded, well, for lack of a better words, angry and hateful. This band is different; There's no awful lyrics simply for shock-value; There's no despair/suicide/homophobic-violence, and all of the other junk that has become unfortunately commonplace in music today. I've purchased three Orange Goblin CD's and enjoy every one of them. I don't know why they aren't more popular; I guess I've read reviews from "experts" who say they are a "rip-off" sound-alike of Black Sabbath, but I personally don't think so. The singer (Ben Ward) is capable of much more range and expression than Ozzy was ever capable of. You obviously can listen to the Amazon.com media-clips, but trust me; this CD is great: From the Harley throttle-opening at the beginning of Blue Snow, to the Mushroom-cloud lyrics in Snail Hook, to the steadily increasing/decreasing/increasing crescendo of Time Travelling Blues. I don't know what the guys in the band hope and wish people would write about them, but all I can say is that this band can put out some phenomenal albums, and this is one of them.

A worthy follow-up..........2003-12-11

...to "Frequencies from Planet Ten", I had to listen to it a couple of times to get into it. I didn't find it quite as heavy-sounding as the debut, but it's still very cool. Purists may scoff at the restrained use of the keyboards here and there, but I find that it really adds a great element of originality and retro "presence"to the album, as it does in "Frequencies...". The organ intro to "Shine" made me think immediately of my all-time favourite band, Deep Purple.All in all, another great album by a very gifted and definitely under-appreciated group of musicians. If you like the genre, I'd say that this is another must-have.Cheers!

Double album from Orange Goblin.......2007-01-03

Very nice, polished sound,a surprisingly melodic album for a group of retro-metal artists. Reminds me of the best of metallic '60s and '70s like Steppenwolf and Black Sabbath, with Styx-like lyrics. Not just a knock-off, though; takes this sound in directions it might have gone had the era lasted a bit longer. Quite recommended.

Album Description

Rarely comes along an album that bridges the gap between generations, but with Orange Goblin's second album 'Time Travelling Blues', they have done it & rather seamlessly at that. At last, bikers from the '60s into Iron Butterfly, Vanilla Fudge & Steppenwolf, stoners from the '70s into Grand Funk, Deep Purple & Motorhead, and '90s druggies into White Zombie, Monster Magnet & Metallica can bang their collective heads! Nine potent tracks, each a brain-numbing trip. 1998 Rise Above Records release.
