a nice raging slab, Static Tensions retains a more raw sludge approach when compared to their fellow Georgians Baroness' and Mastodon's 2009 releases. Some great riffs, two drummers drumming, and harsh shouted male throat work balanced with some pleasant female vocals make for a compelling and enjoyable listen. BitterCOld's picks | More picks ›› |

In my humble opinion this album would be better with other vocalist than this one!

I'm closer to the statement: "I must listen to this because there's no better bands out there...so skillfully combining psychedelia and sludge".

Ya, Kylesa are pretty great at what they do. Lit. just never has anything positive to say about anything on here.

I would love to know the names of the better bands, because if they're just as good as this, I'm interested.

Yeah it's not exactly the same thing really. Wouldn't say they top them either, never actually put them in comparison.

Great album, but question... Ky-less-a or Ky-lee-sa?

"Only One" is a sweet ass track. Delving into Kylesa's back cat as a mildly enjoyed Exhausting Fire and hear their previous few records were much better - they've clearly lightened up since this, but whilst the sludgy/stoner psychedelic hard rock from EF is appealing, I do enjoy this record rather a lot
