Widely considered the best of the four
albums recorded by the "
stoner rock" band
kyuss. The sound is immense, fuzzy (the
guitar was
tuned down 2
frets and played through a
bass speaker) and quite simply jaw dropping but at the same time somehow manages to avoid being
cliché.
Songs like the
gorgeous Molten Universe, the mind blowing 50 million year
trip (upside down), and the joyous stompalong that is Allen's Wrench are the reason this band built up such a
cult following. Truly the sound of lost weekends and possibly the finest no nonsense
rock album I've heard.
