Synopsis

Album Description

2009 release. Both improvisation and rhythm have always been major components of the unmistakable Masters of Reality sound. But on Pine/Cross Dover, the group pits the finer elements of the Mahavishnu Orchestra and Public Image Limited against each other. The end result? A Masters of Reality album that rocks, rolls, and grooves like one devilish son of a gun. Joining longtime leader Chris Goss is long-time band mate John Leamy on drums, as well as a host of special guests, including Eagles of Death Metal bassist Brian O'Connor and guitarist Dave Catching, Merle Jagger guitarist Mark Christian, background singers Shawnee Smith and Missi Pile, as well as former Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Brendon McNichol. Provogue.

Okay, I Guess ...

(3 out of 5 stars)

"Masters of Reality is one of the few contemporary rock bands that I make a point of getting every release that they may issue (I remain stuck in a time-warp of music that came out from 1965 through 1975). It's "OK", certainly not as good or as catchy as some of the tunes on Deep In The Hole (their last studio outing), and definitely not even close to the band's penultimate release, Sunrise on the Sufferbus (a modern rock classic, and how about those mellotrons?), much less their two prior superlative live outings. Chris Goss is an amazing talent, he has the most melodious voice and is a very creative guy, but this outing just didn't make me say "wow". The last track on the CD, "Alfalfa", is a meandering 10 minute instrumental that may have been great for warming up the band's fingers but which should have been left off of the final product. You keep waiting for something to happen in the course of the jam, but it doesn't. Better luck next time, I hope."
