God Says No is cerebral trip into the dark, unknown world of Sci-Fi, Psychedelics, Comic Book Heroes, and whatever else Vocalist/Front-Man Dave Wyndorf feels like feeding us. The First cut titled "Melt," is a perfect example of an abstract Monster Magnet song. I have caught myself trying to figure out just exactly what this songs means to me. It's got that sleazy Magnet Groove. The 2nd track "Heads Explode," hit #26 on the Mainstream Rock Charts in 2001, and appeared on several soundtracks including Dracula 2000. The song "Silver Future," hit #15 on the Mainstream Rock Charts in 2001 along with being heard on the Heavy Metal 2000 OMP. The song "God Says No," hit #153 on Billboard 200 in 2001 as well. My personal favorite cut on this is "All Shook Out," that's what I would call "my" Monster Magnet. If you are into Real Rock Music, I promise Monster Magnet will take you places you have never been before and you will find yourself WANTING MORE! If you are into bands like Hawkwind, The Clash, Black Sabbath, Pink Floyd, The Cult, Acid FM, Orange Goblin, Kyuss, Queens Of The Stoneage, Tool, FuMan-Chu, Cluth or Nebula GET THIS ALBUM! I actually own 2 different copies of this album, mainly because there are tracks on the UK release that are not available on USA releases. Here is the different track orders: 1."Melt" – 5:44 2."Heads Explode" – 3:48 3."Doomsday" – 3:48 4."God Says No" – 4:29 5."Kiss of the Scorpion" – 4:01 6."All Shook Out" – 4:16 7."Gravity Well" – 3:20 8."My Little Friend" – 4:12 9."Queen of You" – 6:30 10."Down in the Jungle" – 4:49 11."Cry" – 7:23 12."Take It" – 2:53 13."Silver Future" * – 4:59 14."I Want More" ** – 3:51 * Bonus track ** UK Version bonus track.

Another classic album from MM , in my opinion way better than "Superjudge" & "Last Patrol". I found those 2 sounded too much like Hawkwind.

oh my "god" has there ever been a bad magnet album-no!! on this there seventh lp(im including the 25..tab "ep"), the magnet bring back a little more of that psych vibe that we love them for!! opener "melt" sets the mood for the lp with a haunting minor key guitar intro and when mastermind dave wyndorf starts to tell his tale of his dark underground you WILL be enthralled!! during the song he name drops jack kirby and if you dont know who mr. kirby is then i guess your from ths suck generation. "heads explode" kicks off with a killer drum beat that "explodes" into the main guitar riff. daves lyrics tempt you with there references to sex and drugs. he knows of what he speaks!! i get chills thinking about it but, this lp dropped just months prior to the 9.11 attacks. with song titles of "doomsday", "cry", "silver future" and of course the title track "god says no" mr. wyndorf comes across as a dark prophet- intune with not only the world we see but the world we dont want to see or are to ignorant to see. speaking of "god says no" the song slithers its way into your head with a moderate tempo and daves vocals at the fore. this is not only one of the best songs in the magnet cataloge but one of the best songs ever!! you have to pay attention you have no choice. you feel that this is profound. to not listen might leave you feeling you had missed a great chance at becoming closer to the truth. closer "take it" seems to me to be about a hottie and her connect. dave sings with glee and in almost a whisper-as i suppose a lot of connects might- as he and the femme fatal of the song continue futher down the spiral. casio keys and electronic drum beats are in stark contrast to the organic sounds of most of the album, symbolizing the cold and empty souls of the doomed duo. i could on i guess but the bottom line is tha this album connects on visceral, cerebral and spiritual levels- at least to me- and perhaps to you too. if you want to rock and think and feel than go no further brothers and sisters of the sonic cloth!!Read full review
"God Says No" normally gets lesser number of stars that their earlier stuff, don't hestitate - it's a very strong album. Yes, it is not so dirty and fresh as some of the earlier cds. Yes, it has rather clean rock-metal sound and rather polished production. But the songwise it still holds very well. It has two songs that are one of my favorites from this band - super heavy and deep "heads explode" and both wavy and melodic title track "god says no". Although the natural move from dirty and rough sound of early stoner metal have killed some of the original bands, Monster Magnet just sound strong and interesting. I guess, it's because of certain philosophy that remains the same and songwriting skills that still shines well.
