22 years after their first release and 10 years after their last album,Nebula are back. And you're thinking "Holy shit!" right now, you pretty muchnailed it. 'Holy Shit' is Nebula's first LP since 2009's 'Heavy Psych', and itquickly puts to rest the question that's loomed since guitarist/vocalist EddieGlass, bassist Tom Davies and drummer Michael Amster announced the band'sreformation in 2017. Nebula are still Nebula. It's there in the inimitablespace-grunge of 'It's all Over,' or the take-a-drag-and-be-gone 'Let's GetLost,' or the way 'Tomorrow Never Comes' manages to be so, so heavy and laidback at the same time. It's in the paradise-psych of 'Gates Of Eden' and eventhe snoring you hear before the devilish 'Man's Best Friend' kicks in to openthe album (the studio couch became a crash spot). Since the days of 1998's 'LetIt Burn' EP and the now-classic 'To The Center' debut album, Nebula have alwaysbeen just a little more dangerous. Just a little more unhinged. 'Holy Shit'shows this front-to-back for the essential part of their character it is, andyet it's not trying to be anything they've done before, whether it's those earlyoutings or 'Heavy Psych' or 'Charged' (2001), 'Apollo' (2003) or 'Atomic Ritual'(2005). It's a sixth Nebula album -- something for which even the most ardent offans could hardly have hoped.
