Ozric Tentacles' Stellar Revival
5 out of 5 stars

Extremely, extremely powerful album. The finest Ozric Tentacles work I've encountered in forever. It's almost perfect, and on those scarce instances when a track takes a slight dip and you briefly think "eh", it then blossoms into something amazing. It's fantastic to witness Wynne revitalize OT as the top Space-Rock band since Gong.

Incredibly, incredibly powerful album. The finest Ozric Tentacles I've come across in forever. It's almost perfect, and when there are those few instances where a track takes a slight dip and you might think "eh" for a moment, it then just blossoms into something amazing.
