Another classic space rock album from one of the best known names in the genre. This is pretty much the quintessential space rock album, from the upbeat melodies of 'Assault & Battery' to the chilled out, driving, instrumental grooves of 'Opa-Loka' to the tense middle eastern soundscapes of 'Magnu' this album is solid spacey gold. The spoken word sections are forgettable and ignorable and Lemmy of motorhead fame's closing song on the album doesn't really fit (but is interesting none the less from a thrash enthusiast's point of view) but the catchiness and the greatness of each (proper) individual song is formidable and forces this one up into the ranks of classics.
