Spiritual Beggars
Mantra III
[Music For Nations]


Sabbth inspired retrometal by Michael Amott is what we have here.

1. 'Hommage To The Betrayed' - very good opener, rocks with a heavy riff
2.'Monster Astronauts' - rocks but nothing special
3."Euphoria' - a touch of SLEEP in the intro but gets heavy then wanks off into pyschedelia
4.'Broken Morning'- way too funky, I hate this song, it sucks
5.'Lack Of Prozac'- ok tune for the lyric:"I see you as a whore"
6.'Superbossanova'- lounge music, lame attempt at humour
7.'Bad Karma'- more like bad song
8.'Send Me A Smile'- another stinker
9.'Cosmic Romance'- Deep Purple bullshit, man this CD is starting to piss me off
10.'Inside Charmer'- ok tune cuz of the solo, more loungey stuff
11.'Sad Queen Boogie'- the title says it all
12.'Mushroom Tea Girl'- yeah right

Goes to show you just cause your a good technical guitarist doesn't mean you can make a decent song. Totally missed the mark here.
