The Best MOR Album.......2005-06-27

This is the best MOR (Masters of Reality) album. The problem with today's hard rock albums is that most of the songs all rock to the same "thick" thrashing sound. Sure, it's heavy......but it all sounds the same. The Masters however make music the old fashioned way. Just as the classic rock bands of a few decades ago (The Beatles, Stones, Zep, etc.). They vary the songs. This is all heavy wonderful music, and it doesn't all sound the same. They really mix it up, but you can also imagine sitting in a dark smoke-filled club as these guys thrash thru these songs......and you're not just jumping up and down in some frenzy. Instead, you're actually LISTENING.......to the music, the words, and all the varied song styles they treat the listener with. GREAT STUFF HERE. Take the time to LISTEN............A+++++

Bought this for one song and loved them all.......2005-06-19

I bought this CD 'cause "She got me..." just grabbed my attention from the get go, and I figured if they rock this much the rest would be good. I was mildly dissapointed that no other track had the same driving beat, but that didn't matter anymore cause every other song kicks major butt. This is one you will listen to all the way through and not skip a single track...

Overlooked gem.......2005-02-15

Fans of Cream's best material (i.e., Jack Bruce's songs) and Ginger Baker's drumming will be blown away by this undeservedly obscure offering. Chris Goss, MOR's very talented lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter penned several great Bruce-ish songs for SOTSB, ranging from dark and panoramic to driving and comic, and Baker is in top form. This is clearly the best rock recording ginger has been in involved with since Cream and Blind Faith, and at its best, MOR rivals either band. (I also highly recommend Ginger's trio recordings with jazz guitarist Bill Frisell.)

Kind of sleepy.......2004-05-08

"Sunrise..." isn't a BAD cd by any means, but I dont believe that it fulfils the promise that seemed possible after "Blue Garden". I bought the later on vinyl the year that it came out, and I was pretty blown away. The empty space between notes and instruments was genius in my opion. They were better before Ginger got a hold of them. If you can find a copy of Blue Garden, snag it.

Would've been a great album........2004-04-15

I know I will catch hell from Masters Of Reality fans, but I was really dissapointed with this album. I thought it would be a bass-heavy album with some killer riffs and some stoned out jams. At least that was my impression when I heard that Chris Goss, the leader of Masters Of Reality, produced Kyuss' best album, Blues For The Red Sun. But I was wrong. The production is way too 80's for me. The guitar isn't that heavy, and the drums don't sound like drums. Some songs I really like, such as She Got Me When She Got Her Dress On, and Jody Sings, but the bulk of it is bad late 70's rock. I guess I didn't catch on. You might like it though.

THE RETURN OF EX-CREAM ROCK LEGEND GINGER BAKER........2007-07-12

I will be writing a review on the soon to be legendary album entitled "MASTERS OF REALITY, SUNRISE ON THE SUFFERBUS" by one of Rock's soon to be legendary bands ever. I give you MASTERS OF REALITY! "MASTERS OF REALITY, SUNRISE ON THE SUFFERBUS" was originally released in 1992 on Compact Disc on the Chrysalis Records label which is a division of EMI Records Group, N.A. As always, if I hear any new additional information concerning this soon to be legendary album or the artist, I will edit this review immediately so that you the consumer will get the overall best informative and most accurate review possible.

MASTERS OF REALITY would form in the 1980's consisting of the original founding members lead vocalist/guitarist/frontman Chris Goss, bassist Googe, guitarist Tim Harrington and drummer Vinnie Ludovico. MASTERS OF REALITY never quite fit into prevailing Hard Rock trends and they remained a well-kept secret to most of the listening public. Goss would soon break up the band shortly after their well-received, self-titled debut album in 1989. Goss would later reform the band as a 3-man power trio band a few short years later with bassist Googe and legendary EX-CREAM drummer Ginger Baker. In 1992, the new reformed 3-man power trio would release an album that would become the band's signature and trademark album to date. Which now brings me to this great album I'm about to review for all of you today. 1992's "SUNRISE ON THE SUFFERBUS" would be the band's best work to date. In my opinion, "SUNRISE ON THE SUFFERBUS" is a great album and is a true testament of the brilliance and musical creativity of three masterminded genius'. This soon to be legendary album is also a fine fitting tribute to a great band that is getting close and on the brink of reaching legendary status as a band. This is the tales and stories in the life and times of MASTERS OF REALITY, their music is their story that speaks for itself.

It is now time to let the music of MASTERS OF REALITY to speak for itself and back it up by doing all of the talking musically as MASTERS OF REALITY originally truly intended for it to be heard and listened to. "MASTERS OF REALITY, SUNRISE ON THE SUFFERBUS" from 1992 begins with the a*s kicking Hard Rocker "She Got Me (When She Got Her Dress On)," the haunting and mysterious beginning evolving into the danceable bass pounding mild Rocker "J.B. Witchdance," the refreshing and uplifting acoustic number "Jody Sings," the Raggae Rocker "Rolling Green," the breathtaking Hard Rocker "Ants In The Kitchen," the blistering slow a*s kicking Hard Rocker "V.H.V.," the 46 second acoustic piece "Bicycle," the beautifully slow and synthesized acoustic masterpiece "100 Years (Of Tears On he Wind)," the drum pounding and acoustic piece erupting into the Hard Rocker "T.U.S.A.," the incredibly fast Hard Rocker "Tilt-A-Whirl," the slow bass pounding tough beated piece "Rabbit One," the 38 second acoustic dedication to superstar MADONNA, "Madonna," the amazing Hard Rocker "Gimme Water" and the slow Hard Rockin' number "The Moon In Your Pocket." May I also add and take the opportunity in commending the three musicians on a great job well done. Especially Mr. Ginger Baker. His timing was perfect and his merciless drumming was incredible. Ginger Baker still has it and never lost it.

I would like to highly recommend purchasing this soon to be legendary album for everyone of all ages to own as a valuable and important part of his or her own personal music collection. This album will soon prove to stand the test of time and always be around to be enjoyed, appreciated and cherished for many years to come, NOW AND FOREVER.

You may also want to research further into and check out the many other MASTERS OF REALITY albums that are widely available. In doing this, you will have chosen the album that is right for you and suits your musical needs and tastes. When this is accomplished, you will have taken a giant step in owning and starting your very own personal MASTERS OF REALITY music collection. You can do all of your album researches and purchases either on Amazon com or at your nearest local Borders Books and Music store.

In closing, Ginger Baker's stint with MASTERS OF REALTY would be short lived. In 1993, Baker would reunite with CREAM and perform for the first time on stage with Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce in many decades while being inducted as members of the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame. Soon after, Baker would form a band with fellow EX-CREAM bassist Jack Bruce and guitarist Gary Moore and release an album entitled "BBM." In 2005, there would be an all-out CREAM reunion with Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. CREAM would successfully tour England and America's own Madison Square Garden in New York City to highly critically acclaim. As for MASTERS OF REALITY, the band would take a long hiatus in the 90's only to re-emerge in 1997 with Goss reuniting with bassist Googe and adding new guitarist Brendan McNichol and drummer Victor Indrizzo for a series of live dates that would result in the album "HOW HIGH THE MOON: LIVE AT THE VIPER ROOM." An all-new studio album would soon follow entitled "WELCOME TO THE WESTERN LODGE" which would only be released in Europe in 1999. This album would not appear on American shores until Spitfire Records licensed it for release in early 2001. I truly believe that we have not heard the last of MASTERS OF REALITY yet and they are not going anywhere anytime soon. MASTERS OF REALITY are not about to rest on their laurels just yet. With this in mind, there will be many more new tales in the MASTERS OF REALITY story that will still need to be told and written in pages and chapters. But that, my fellow readers and reviewers, you will just have to stay tuned and read further more about it at a later date. So here's to you Chris, Googe, Tim, Vinnie, Ginger, Brendan and Victor. Thanks for the many memories and moments with many more still yet to come. Keep Persevering. Keep The Faith. And as the saying goes, "AND THE REST IS ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY," need I say more? Thanks for reading my review and I truly hope that you have enjoyed reading it as much as I have truly enjoyed writing it for your reading pleasure. I also deeply hope that you will continue in reading all of my other reviews in the near future when time permits. MASTERS OF REALITY RULES! LONG LIVE THE CREAM! Long Live Rock n' Roll. Rock out always and take it easy. Forever in Rock, John L.

One of the best rock CDs you'll ever hear.......2007-03-17

Yeah, I'm a big Cream fan. And most of the trio stuff those individual guys did after Cream's break-up (including the Cream reunion) had its share of pleasures and disappointments. But this CD - oh man - this is sheer perfection from beginning to end. First of all, Baker has never been better. Crisp, driving, swinging - always propelling the band forward without overwhelming the song or the other musicians. Rock drumming does not get better than Ginger on this album - and that includes anything Cream did in the studio. The songs are very well written - beautiful, melodious, and casual. Chris's vocal is a showcase of range and empathy - and everybody just seems to be so in the groove and having a great time. Whether you're into Cream, Baker, Goss, or Queens of the Stone Age, this CD should have massive appeal across age groups and musical tastes. It's damned near brilliant.

A Staple.......2006-07-31

I have a way of looking at musical releases and their importance beyond the simple songwriting and studio quality. I like to look at the effect it has had on it's particular place in time and how it both reflected it and improved it. I still feel that nothing can compare to what Sgt Pepper did... but this one ranks up there in my list. Sufferbus came along at a time when commercial rock was anything but simple and straight forward. Yet that is what this did. It showed a stagnant industry whet could be done with sincerety. Those who were paying attention at the time will agree. This is an important part of Rock History. I will be Dancin' with the Witches 'till I am dead and gone.

CREAM legend Ginger Baker jams with the Boys from Syracuse.......2006-04-17

It seems everyone has forgotten there was a big rock radio hit off this CD - the jumpin double-speed blues-rock of "She Got Me (When She Got Her Dress On)" made it to the Top 10 rock tracks in January 1993....and was quickly forgotten by radio. Ginger Baker really makes that tune (and the whole disc) swing - ironically, Masters of Reality's original drummer Vinnie Ludovico Worshipped Ginger Baker and played in the same style, so the change in drummers didn't change the Masters' music much. What makes "Sufferbus" different than the self-titled debut is a lighter, less aggressive production sound, which gives it a sleepy jam-band flavor at times. Also, no songs as kick-ass as "Domino" or "John Brown" from the '80s Masters of Reality disc. Leader Chris Goss has become a featured member of Queens of the Stone Age in recent years. He and MoR never got respect or attention from his hometown rock radio stations in Syracuse, NY - but he's earned the respect of most of the leading hard rock musicians of the past 15 years.

Getting on the Sufferbus .......2006-01-22

The best part of listening to music is when you discover or somebody turns you on to something that you`ve never heard of before.Well,today is just such a day...do you think that rock and roll is whatever Green day was puking up in stadiums all summer long last year?Listen and I`ll give you a short history of the Masters of Reality...this is a band from central New York that never really had a chance to take off,even though they had a good first album(re-recording it under the watchful eye of super-producer Rick Rubin)and some great reviews,problems arose within the band,coming to a head with them breaking up after a gig in Chicago while on tour with Kings X.It was a shame but fast forward a bit and singer/guitarist Chris Goss and bassist Googe hooked up with none other than the great British drummer Ginger Baker....you know,he played in a little band called Cream?
They put out this dynamite disc of varied but potent music....not in such a hard rock vein as their first disc(also worth checking out,by the way)but rocking none the less.
By the way,Sunrise on the Sufferbus is a little barbed statement about the short tour they went on after Ginger joined the band and right before this disc was released(word was that it was a tough tour for them and Ginger wasn`t really up to touring much then,I guess)hence the weird title.
Anyways,it was trully an incredible experience to hear Ginger playing at his best since his days in Cream,very tight and absolutely in the pocket,he was having a ball and it showed.I am really honored to be the first to review this great disc,being from central New York(like the original lineup)I am here to tell you to buy it,put it on and turn it up loud....then wonder what you were listening to when this came out and lament about the fact that you never even knew it existed.Not one bad song to be found,well,some are heavier than others but thats what its all about isn`t it? - mixing it up....so put away whatever your listening to now and hear what these guys were laying down....you`ll be suprised.
