Today's treat is a historic album. It isn't legendary like Songs For The Deaf, but it truly was the start of something huge. The sound of this album reminds me pretty much of the one on Era Vulgaris (which of course will be posted this month), it's more of a lo-fi record which makes it different from the very "big" sound on Rated R (which of course will be posted this month) and Songs For The Deaf. The melodies on this album are phenomenal. They're catchy, yet challenging. On this album the setup is:Josh Homme - Vocals, Guitar
Alfredo Hernándes - Drums
Carlo Von Sexron (aka Josh Homme) - bass, piano and keyboard. At the very end of the very last track, you can actually hear Nick Oliveri speaking in a phone message, in which he says that he is ready to play in Queens Of The Stone Age. It really underlines that this album was the start of something huge. This is sexy stoner rock at it's very best. Enjoy this, there's no different option.

PS: I'll be gone this weekend, so Hjörtur will take over. I hope he doesn't fuck it up. ;)
