LA RECENSIONE
After Kyuss, for Garcia it could have been an immense disappointment, given his particularly fiery character, but in reality, Amusing The Amazing is a successful album that combines pure stoner with '70s garage, with inspirations from Stooges and MC5.
The short but very sunny album begins with a track called "The Prizefighter" in which Garcia vocalizes after a brief garage start and finishes the track after two minutes of intense grunge-stoner.
Subsequently, "Muzezli" is a stoner piece in the style of Kyuss's Blues For The Red Sun, and "Pilot the Dune" is a warm, desert track rich in noise improvisations and Sabbathian explosions.
Finally, "July" brings grunge closer to Soundgarden, after an infernal drowning.
An album not comparable to the early Kyuss, but highly expressive.

03 Pilot the Dune (03:28)
I said a pilot, a pilot - I said a pilot the dune
I said a pilot, a pilot - I said a pilot the dune
You bet a lot I'll bet all see you
You always wanted to be
To see your life I'll bet you'll see so
You always wanted to see
To take your life I'll take mine say so
You look at me and bleed my baby
I'll rake my life I'll bet you'll see your
You see me in the mirror baby
I said a pilot, a pilot - I said a pilot the dune
I said a pilot, a pilot - I said a pilot the dune
See your life you'll see right thru me
You always wanted to be my baby
You light it up it melts all night all
You always wanted to see my my baby
Oh you lay on, oh you pray on me
Oh you lay on, oh you pray on me yeah
I said a pilot, a pilot - I said a pilot the dune
I said a pilot, a pilot - I said a pilot the fuckin' dune
When it rains, I feel love, when it pours I feel hate
When it rains, I feel love, when it pours I feel hate
When it rains, I feel love, when it pours I feel hate
Ooho I feel...
04 July (04:51)
So lay your dead
In our time rhyme
When it heat's on you.
And then you stand
With flowers dead,
I'm in your head.
Am I rain?
You can not say it,
July!
July!
If you try to be raised in pain,
It's an all-time high.
And I've cried the blocked out train,
We have no desire.
In the blink of a solid flame,
I can wash that pain aside.
And we know we're insane.
I'm coming right up riot.
July (ooh,)
July (ooh,)
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Do you want it,
You need it,
You steal it,
Well, just to be there?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Do you want it,
You need it,
You steal it,
Just to be there?
Ah...
Now we live by the hope of the trade,
It's a fade-out scene.
Under sun cause the black your shade.
This is all I see.
As the contract spreads to dream
Solid heat will find it clean.
So the end of the ride is today.
Well, I fought the land cause today it's...
July! (Midnight above my ranch.)
Oh (She's a goner).
July! (She said, hold on; you got my life.)
Oh, oh. (What I want,)
July! (I said, you want my God.)
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Do you want it,
You need it,
You steal it,
Well just to be there?
