Hey looky, new Temple of the Dog! On heavy, heavy drugs – probably the same ones I was on over the Memorial Day weekend. Its the third offering from this all-star line-up, this time with the help of Ben Sheppard and Kim Thayil and a guest appearance by Eddie Vedder. Ex-Soundgarden/Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron and Monster Magnet guitarist John McBain spin out classic 60s and 70s era psychedelic pop and guitar rock. Familiar faces aside, their sound bears little resemblance to any of their former projects, save for Pearl Jams retro leanings on Yield, especially apparent on Vedders contribution, Felicitys Surprise. While they deliver their trademark styles individually – especially Cameron and Thayil – The Scroll and Its Combinations has a life all its own. Tracks like I Got Nightmares by Q65, Tick Tock 3 o Clock and the Scroll are more in pure fun and creative self-indulgence than pushing any contemporary boundaries. Im a diehard fan of every artist involved in this project – especially the
Soundgarden alumni. They offer plenty in the way of ear candy. Still, this band might find itself overlooked if not for the lineup. Im undecided on this one – Party album or serious artwork?
