Our Take

Album Review: BRIAN JONESTOWN MASSACRE - Thank God For Mental Illness

In their latest offering, The Brian Jonestown Massacre take listeners on a psychedelic rollercoaster ride through the dark and twisted corners of their minds. Thank God For Mental Illness is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of the complexities of the human psyche, with frontman Anton Newcombe's signature vocals cutting through the haze like a knife.

From the opening track, "Spanish Bee," it's clear that this album is not for the faint-hearted. The fuzzy guitars and hypnotic melodies create a sense of unease that is both exhilarating and unsettling. As the album progresses, tracks like "Dogs" and "Ark" take on a life of their own, building to a frenzied crescendo that will leave you questioning your own sanity.

But it's not all doom and gloom on Thank God For Mental Illness. Tracks like "Maryanne" and "All Around You (Outtake)" offer moments of respite, with delicate instrumentation and poignant lyrics that showcase the band's range and versatility.

Overall, The Brian Jonestown Massacre have delivered a masterful piece of work with Thank God For Mental Illness. It's an album that demands to be listened to in its entirety, with each track building on the last to create a truly immersive experience. So strap in, dear listener, and prepare to have your mind blown. Thank God for The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
