        Emphatically, buy them both. _Jug Fulla Sun_ was my best buy of
last year, and I expect no less of _Dreamwheel_ when I get it. They are
a bit more metal than stoner, but not so far as to lose listenability,
and Wino (ex-Thee Obsessed - apparently you have to say this in
reviews) plays guitar like a fiend, albeit a fiend who has known
suffering. His vocals are so like Lemmy's you can't ignore it but this man
has a lot of emotion he doesn't mind letting into his music. Some of their
songs simply rock - some of them are truly lovely. See them if you can, I
gather it puts them into context somewhat.Really - I think they're
great. Yours,
              Jon
