Album Description Even though Cedric & Omar of At The Drive-In are in this band, it doesn't mean it they sound like At The Drive-In. This album doesn't even include guitars! The music here is spacey and experimental, all in the true spirit of dub music, while it also shows a Latin influence on a few of the songs. It's great music to just relax to. GSL.

CD ReviewsVery Good Music nick | winnipeg, manitoba Canada | 02/13/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "First Off...This ain't no ATDI kiddies. Not even close. There are similarities to The Mars Volta, but a lot more worldy. Latin/Salsa, Reggae/Dub, and a whole lot of experimenting run rampant throughout the 10 tracks of Megaton Shotblast. You really have to have an open mind before checking these guys out. But, if you are into the aforementioned genres, then I would definitely reccommend them!" Not for everyone Adam Parker | artman | 10/05/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "This music is not for everyone. If you like the jam aspect of the Mars Volta, and their ability to create jazz dub jams then you will love this. It doesn't have vocals, in fact it has Omar playing bass and Cedric playing drums, Owen still plays keys, along with many other collaborators on the album. This is an album to absorb not just listen. You have to be able to respect creative integrity and be open to new forms of music. This album is amazing and I highly recommend it to someone with a true creative vision for the obscure." Defacto magaton shot blast Sandy Nolan | san diego | 09/12/2004 (5 out of 5 stars) "I am going to remove any subjective criticism and focus on the talent here that is being ignored. These "jam" sessions are innovative and complex. At a first listen, it's easy to label it as noise, a mixture of computer-sampled-sounds and omar+cedric doing their own thing on drums and bass. But in all honesty the CD is very much ahead of its time, yet at the same time behind. Its rhythm is very close to an average techno CD, yet these are all artist playing instruments--theire are no samples on the CD. This CD is so expressive that I doubt anyone soon will get, I personally don't know exactly what they we're going for, but it sounds pretty beautiful, and in contrast to ATDI and TMV it's very subtle; If your an ATDI fan, or a Mars Volta fan, their is no gurantee that you'll enjoy this CD; for any one with an open mind and a passion to be involved in the progress of art and music, than I would reccomend Defacto Megaton shotblost, and pretty much every other ATDI, TMV, and or Sparta CD, (Sparta not so much, it seems as they evolve they loose what ATDI originally stood for, which is powerful music made strictly by and for themselves, Sparta is getting a bit manufactured for my taste) thank you for reading, make up your own mind, the art is yours what others think should be irrelivant(spelling?)."
