 Perhaps Scott "Wino" Weinrich did not invent Doom rock. Certainly, with "Jug Fulla Sun" (’99), he took it by the hand and carried it where it had never been before.

 Doom rock ceased to be just the slow and dark succession of vaguely bluesy rhythms... and became now a sweet and very sad music, made of twilight arpeggios, psycho-decadent sonnets, now a rapid chase of storm clouds.

The review praises Scott "Wino" Weinrich and Spirit Caravan's 1999 album Jug Fulla Sun for innovating doom rock.

The album transforms traditional doom into a more emotional, diverse, and visionary sound, featuring soulful vocals and inventive musical explorations.

 It is the slow and progressive agony of a metronome that starts boldly at 150-160 bpm... only to end up smoked by tetrahydrocannabinol, coated in lysergic acid.

 It is the old school of Doom that, in 1984, opens its enrollments.

The movie is ultimately an unfulfilled opportunity given its talented creators. Discover the artistic boldness and flaws of MirrorMask—read the full review and decide if it’s worth your watch!
