User Album Review
This is a good and entertaining record, but the universal law of music says that there is a fine line between a good album and “a record to swear by”. Gigantoid doesn’t fall in the latter category. For all its sincerity and hard work, the cool tracks that will rock the clubs or the Mustangs in Pasadena, are clearly missing. At the same time, the huge track that will drive mad the sectarian stoner fan is also to be found. Fu Manchu did not hit big with this one, though I am more than sure that this was not their intention. Worry not friends of good music, as this special “it” is the only thing this record is missing. And remember… if you ever find yourself to a bar in Jupiter, I’ll be sitting right there with a hot chick and an alien by each side, listening to “Anxiety Reducer”, for all that is worth.
