He's retarded. Sorry dude, but they put (album) there to depict that they are the songs that are on the original album that has been "remastered". Doesn't anyone from emusic check these reviews people write. I have Come my Fanatics from the wizard which is a double disc which includes this album and it is one of my all time stoner rock favs. Anyone new to the genre should, nay, must download all of electric wizards work as they are one of the kings to the genre. I myself will be downloading the extra two songs just to have a little more wizard.

That's Retarded

OK, so I haven't heard/downloaded this yet, I just wanted to say that putting "(album)" after each song title is retarded. Come on, eMusic, don't treat us like idiots--we KNOW it's an album.

When Electric Wizard first emerged, seemingly fully formed from the hallowed wombs of the doom metal gods (well, from Dorset, England, anyway), all most listeners could do was stand in dumbfounded awe — such was the power and magnitude with which the trio delivered its monolithic epics. Taking up the torch from doom pioneers like Saint Vitus, Sleep, and more recently Britain’s own Cathedral, the eternally stoned-out trio went about setting a new standard for slothful, detuned heavy metal noisemaking; yet — amazingly, compared to subsequent efforts — their eponymous debut’s crushing wall of sludge would soon seem almost lightweight. Most of the songs on Electric Wizard crawl along at a snail’s pace, their mind-numbing riffs exploring the lowest imaginable sonic frequencies still within human range. Except for the trippy space rock guitar of “Mountains of Mars,” the entire record revels in the purest, uncompromising post-Sabbath doom metal dirge, a great part of which may prove too sluggish and impenetrable for inexperienced listeners. But for knowledgeable consumers of the genre, weed-worshipping anthems like “Stone Magnet,” “Devil’s Bride,” and the group’s awesome namesake, “Electric Wizard” (which is introduced by a long, highly suspicious exhaled breath), amount to a mind-shattering experience. Prepare to be enlightened. [The 2006 edition features two previously unreleased demo tracks as a bonus.] – Eduardo Rivadavia
