Shit the last few weeks have been a who's who of awesome stoner rock/metal releases.

Electric Wizard
Orange Goblin
Melvins
Bongripper
Monster Magnet
Church of Misery

Oh, and Lo-Pan too.

[D.o.S.]

Wait what new Church Of Misery?

Also you forgot new Today is the Day, which you will like if you like this new Bongripper record.

Sorry, not new Church of Misery. I hadn't checked it out yet and I'm not that familiar with their stuff. It came across Spotify, and I thought it was a new release. It was a re-release of The Second Coming.

Will check out Today is the Day too.

[dase]

Yeah I just got super excited for a second there about new church of misery! Their Australian tour was ridiculous.

New today is the day is good. Not temple of the morning star good but what is?

[Iommic Pope]

Yeah I nearly shat when I read that CoM thing.
Phew.

Haven't checked that new TitD yet.

Acronyms.

Acronyms everywhere.

I haven't checked these guys out before just because the name is so stupid, but that was not bad. Probably not anything I'll freak out over but pretty cool.

That new EW on the other had? From the sample track it seems like they need to be taken out to pasture. I can't even tell if they're serious anymore....

It's not as bad as Sadiowitch makes it seem but it's not creeping up my top 10 list.

New Bongripper is great, wonderful birthday present that was.

The new wizard isn't horrible. Just boring. And the band is responsible for so many lame clones that I just kinda can't care.

Fair enough mate. I bought like, 70+ new releases this year according to my discogs collection. I do not have time for boring.

Last two albums were great. This is just lazy.

[dase]

oh yeah I totally agree. Lazy is a perfect description of it. It's like they know so long as they chuck a few 70s occult boobs in people are going to buy it anyway.

[Iommic Pope]

Have we not covered the 70s occult boob ground before?

I am definitely one of those people, but the way I approach it is that bands like Wizard do what they do. Don't expect any reinvention of the wheel, just variations of that theme. Which is cool when you don't want to think to hard about things.
And, lets face it, 70s occult boob music should not be subject to intellectual dissection at any stage of the game. It is what it is.
Having said that, I thought the new one was solid. In that I didn't have high expectations and it wasn't disappointing, just more of the same.
Again, variations on the witch tit theme.

[dase]

hahaha. Yeah I mean there's not expecting variation on a theme but it's sort of...reaching saturation point for how much I can care about a band putting out progressively more boring records.
