Produktbeschreibungen
Nein, diese Band macht es sich wirklich nicht leicht. Es wäre für Monster Magnet sicherlich einfach gewesen, ein ähnlich gestricktes Werk wie Powertrip auf den Markt zu werfen, und ganz bestimmt hätte sich der große Erfolg dieses Überflieger-Albums wiederholen lassen. Stattdessen gehen Monster Magnet auf ihrem neuesten Longplayer wieder einen Schritt zurück, orientieren sich eher an Scheiben wie Spine Of God oder Dopes To Infinity.
Was im Klartext bedeutet, das hier bei weitem nicht mehr so straight gerockt wird wie auf Powertrip, die Band geht dafür wieder wesentlich unbestimmter an die Sache heran. Psychedelisch nennt man wohl viele der Sounds, die die vier Magneten in ihre Songs verstärkt eingebaut haben -- die Band zeigt sich experimentierfreudiger, hat in letzter Zeit wohl viele Platten aus den 60er- und frühen 70er-Jahren aufgelegt, hat aber andererseits wieder kernige Rocker wie "Heads Explode" oder "Down In The Jungle" auf Lager.

Fazit: God Says No ist ein Album, das einige Hördurchläufe benötigt, enttäuscht aber keineswegs. Nur die Sache mit dem Abschlusstrack "Take It", der ausschließlich auf Hammondorgelsounds basiert, gilt es noch zu klären: Als Monster Magnet 1998 auf dem With Full Force Open Air in Leipzig spielten, lauschten sie auf der Aftershow-Party fasziniert den Klängen von Mambo Kurt und seiner Hammond, wenn das mal keine Inspiration war. --Frank Albrecht  

Review by Eduardo Rivadavia
Like other bands credited with pioneering the stoner metal scene in the early '90s, Monster Magnet continue to drift further and further from the trademark sonic characteristics (distortion, psychedelics, space rock) of the genre they helped create. And after stripping down their sound to a no-frills, streamlined attack on 1998's breakthrough album Powertrip, band leader Dave Wyndorf refused to sit on his laurels when it came time to devise Magnet's fifth album, God Says No. Instead, in a display of massive creative "cojones" and/or utter commercial suicide, Wyndorf leads the group into unexplored territory, and even seems to be having a little fun with it along the way (his sex-drenched lyrical acid-trip fantasies remain as entertaining as ever). The result being that while Powertrip's single-minded urgency and unbridled power seemed to trap the listener behind the wheel of a drag racer on the verge of flaming out, God Says No is arguably the band's mellowest set yet, and certainly their most diverse. With their laid-back grooves and unexpected use of triggered electronic drumbeats, the title track and "Queen of You" are the best examples of this turn of events. And even when they do pick up the pace a bit, tracks like "Silver Future" (also featured on the previous year's Heavy Metal 2000 soundtrack) and the amphetamine surf rock of "Kiss of the Scorpion" never quite lose control on the scale of Powertrip's Stooges-fueled recklessness. Elsewhere, bizarre experiments like "Take It" (featuring synthetic melodies set to karaoke-like drum machine rhythms) and "Gravity Well" (a distorted piece of Delta blues slide guitar topped with Wyndorf's lascivious innuendoes) push the band's creative envelope to the bursting point. Older fans and recent converts alike may prefer the album's second half, where at least some of Magnet's lo-fi, fuzzed-out past and Powertrip's raw, unyielding sonic attack finally surface on tracks like "My Little Friend" and "Medicine" (originally featured on the band's Spine of God album, re-recorded here). But new converts will get to savor all the band's flavors, including space rock anthems like "Melt" and "Cry," which hearken back to 1995's Dopes to Infinity with their familiar-sounding hypnotic riffs. In the end, some may be disappointed by God Says No's all-around sense of restraint, but open-minded fans will have to acknowledge Wyndorf's courageous insistence on breaking new ground with his continually inspired songwriting.
