Album Review

Fu Manchu was one of the most enduring and influential bands of the '90s stoner metal movement (along with Kyuss, Monster Magnet, and Sleep), but it wasn't until their third full-length release, In Search Of..., that the Southern California stoners finally obtained "major" label support by signing with Mammoth Records — not that this had any effect on singer Scott Hill's indistinctive vocals, or the band's fuzzy dirge of post-Sabbath riffery with psychedelic overtones. And like most Fu Manchu albums, In Search Of... is a very inconsistent affair, with only a few cuts such as "Asphalt Risin'," "Strato-Freak," and "Seahag" really standing out of the pack. Simply put, one gets the impression that Fu Manchu doesn't try that hard, but then, not every band wants to rule the world. Thankfully, the departure of guitarist Eddie Glass and drummer Ruben Romano to form Nebula soon after this recording would provide the band with the impetus and inspiration to really start moving forward on the following year's much improved The Action Is Go.

Customer Reviews

Can't stop the rock!

Love ya guys maannn! Liked em' so much...had to get the whole collection ( looks like a lotta road trippin' in the near future). When I need something w/ a different groove I usually grab some ROLLINS BAND, CLUTCH, TSOL, BIG SUGAR or the sadly unknown FLOWERHEAD (a must find).All of which I put simply in the KICK A*S genre! Welcome to the club FU MANCHU !!! If you are a F.M. fan, seriously try to find FLOWERHEAD (group)!!!

Unbelievable

You can't help but think of days past, days of muscle cars and cruising for chicks on the strip when listening to this album. A modern classic.

great!

Great album! I particuly love Missing Link, Asphalt Risin' and Super Shooter. The other songs are good as well but these stand out. A very nice album.
