While this album is not as old as the other albums I have done, this one totally rocks and deserves the classic status!!! Released in 1998, Powertrip was the 4th full length album by Monster Magnet. From the very beginning, songs like  Crop Circle, Powertrip and Space Lord (which was used in the movie Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby  lol) set the tone for a kick ass album. There is probably only about 2 tracks that are not on par with the whole rest of the album, but who cares! I absolutely love this album.  Too bad Monster Magnet never did anything else this killer and upbeat again. 

 Track Listing:

   1. Crop Circle
   2. Powertrip
   3. Space Lord
   4. Temple of Your Dreams
   5. Bummer
   6. Baby Götterdämerung
   7. 19 Witches
   8. 3rd Eye Landslide
   9. See You in Hell
  10. Tractor
  11. Atomic Clock
  12. Goliath and the Vampires
  13. Your Lies Become You

Never got into this band...  scratch
I saw them open for Soundgarden way back on the Badmotorfinger tour and they absolutely failed to impress me live.
Perhaps it's time to give them a second chance?

Not a fan but they are an amazing live band.  One of my friends is a huge fan and I went with him and they were incredibly powerful live. devilbang

Really?  I never really got into their recorded stuff, and then saw them in 95 and 98 and they just seemed really lackluster.  Was this more recently?
