Those who thought that the ex-guitarist of Stoner rock Kyuss Josh Homme Master with the Queens of the Stone Age inherited his former band, the realized after the first chords of this debut, that he was wrong. Kyuss sat down with their roaring, epic long desert sound already between the chairs and attracted lovers of different hard rock music almost magically. For plates, as the firstfruits of Queens of the Stone Age, there are, however luckily the word reinvention. A harder section could not have been unravel after the end of Kyuss. Short, minimalist, dry dust and dirt sounded cool Homme`s very own vision of rock'n'roll. His strikingly high vocals that was reduced to a few chords, but mostly simple and original hooks guitar work makes the style of this album so unique. Alfredo Hernandez and the bald-headed, not always in good dominant Nick Oliveri (both also ex-Kyuss members), the band made completely, even though the former was involved right until the (still) better Rated R. Rarely already sounded the first album of a band so style-defining, like this one. 11 pieces found their way to the original edition of the album. With three further the Reissue of 2011 provided. And even if the original edition of Queens Of The Stone debuts was an exciting and positive-exhaustive journey through new realms of modern rock music, so this extended version is perhaps even better.
