SOLAR ANUS RUNS ARE MORE CONSTIPATED THAN FLOWING

Double set consisting of three albums released over 1997 to 2000, this features quite good music but I fiind it hit-and-miss and as the compilation progresses, the album loses inspiration and becomes very mechanical. The Solar Anus modus operandi combines doom metal and stoner hard rock with an irreverent attitude to create heavy riff-driven music, minimalistic in form and style and occasionally showing off good melodies and guitar runs, striving to achieve a transcendental spiritual state with the self-important pomposity of organised religion. A carefree attitude to the pleasures of sex and other body functions and the celebration of these features as a major theme - as if you couldn't guess from the elaborate packaging and the sleeve art of all three albums reproduced in the CD booklet!


30/100
