Yes, it is, if you like early Monster Magnet (and I do).  My only
complaint is that, even with the two bonus tracks, the CD ends too soon
(it's about ~35 mins total).  But the tracks therein are short and
sweet, and with plenty of vivacious energy (and a monster fuzz tone:).
They are decidedly up-tempo compared with other stoner bands such as
Electric Wizard, Sleep, etc.  (Think more along the lines of Fu
Manchu[*], Monster Magnet, etc.)

Cheers,

Paul.

NP: Nebula, _Let It Burn_

[*] D'oh!  I just read that Nebula consists of ex-Fu Manchu members.
Here's the album description from Relapse's WWW site: "A stoner's wet
dream! Three ex-Fu Manchu members kick out the jams in the tradition of
Kyuss, Monster Magnet, and Sundial. This re-issued version contains
exclusive bonus tracks!"  I'd say the Sundial comparison is a bit
tenuous, but there's a grain of truth in it.  Needless to say, they're
more lightweight than Kyuss, too...
