This album is just a piece of amazing pure psych stoner with totally hypnotic riffs and sweet jams. A must have.
Favorite track: Auburn Hills.

Music shouldn’t be a competition but since it is Ambrosia is the winner for tasty new jams, January 2024. Drink it in.
Favorite track: The Green Sleeper.

Here’s the deal… my good man below with the eye ball in the triangle from Middlefart Denmark (maybe he’s a symbol like Prince became, I don’t know) owns a lot of these type of albums. He doesn’t leave a comment all that often though so when he does, listen up! His taste is impeccable as is this album.
“Ambrosia”, is a 6 song, thirty-five minute long, full on fuzz onslaught. Right out of the gate, the dank riffage of “Bongilogy” grabs the listener by the hair and refuses to let up all the way through the Earth-quaking stomps of the mighty “Green Sleeper”. The spirit of Sabbath, the Dead, and Motown lives in this music, but under the surface there is something more… potent. “Ambrosia” encapsulates a moment in time for the Monsters in which inspiration, circumstance, and technical prowess aligned perfectly. We invite you to take a hit from “Ambrosia” and experience the ride through Bonghalla.

If you like to live on the edge and have no regard for mindless compliance or conformity, this might just be the ticket. But I gotta warn you, Auralayer's Thousand Petals is probably going to duke it out for Album of the Year at Clean and Sober Stoner, maybe even the Doom Charts, against the likes of Hail the Void, Faery Ring, Snakemother and Acid King. Once you cross that line, it can be hard to go back...

Just some very quality stoner rock/metal. Excellent riffs, guitar tone, vocals, production, and great hooks. My biggest complaint about a lot of this kind of music is a lot of bands forget to include hooks. Acid Magus didn't. mobesneedmusic
Trailblazing psych duo White Hills return with another batch of bottom-heavy stoner-y anthems submerged in 200 tons of guitar. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 17, 2022
Almost Honest have continued to push the envelope within the modern heavy underground scene. To David's point, while they reside within the Stoner/Doom landscape, they possess a wildly catchy, diverse and intriguing sense of songwriting, meticulously merging elements of grunge, punk, metal and alternative rock. Honestly, this could be their best work yet. Bucky
