Early records like Frequencies From Planet Ten and Time Travelling Blues are widely praised; later releases retain raw power but draw some criticism for predictability. Overall the coverage praises attitude, riffs and live energy.

For:Listeners who like riff-driven stoner rock/doom metal, fans of Kyuss/Black Sabbath-style heavy music, and music readers seeking raw, live-oriented albums.

 The Orange Goblin are damn hard metalheads by now. No doubt about it.

 this is an album soaked in sweat and mud, but also in heart and soul, exuding just the right dose of rock n'roll to make it a true must-have.

 a billion watts hit us, the bass and the two guitars are distorted in an extremely and tremendously delightful way, Blue Snow is like a punch right to the face, dirty, rough, and cursed.
