    Some of the very best hard-edged, pure psychedelic drone you're likely to hear this year.

    Sure, the black angels aren't to everyone's taste, and some may deem them to be an anachronism, but it's hard to deny that what they do, they do well. To the converted, enjoy the shivers that DTSAG will send down your spine.

    This is the sort of psychedelia that space rockers and Nuggets fans alike can come together over.

    Whereas "Passover" came wired with explosives, Ghost airs out its thrust with mercenary inevitability.

    The breakdowns on songs like "Dee-Ree-Shee" and "You in Color" truly highlight each member's technical and dynamic abilities; the crescendos emphasize their quantum power to make great art as a group.
