This CD is not very much stoner rock, barely at all. That doesn't make it bad, it is just different for Queens of the Stone Age. They still have their typical up and down faster riffs, and Josh Homme's great vocals, but otherwise, it recalls bands like Screaming Trees. This CD seems to be to me the missing link between grunge and stoner rock, because it is way faster than any stoner music I have ever heard, but way more fuzzy than any grunge I've heard. The drums are still very good as well as the guitars, and this CD proved Queens of the Stone Age as some of the most talented stoner rock I have ever listened to. My two favorite songs are Leg of Lamb and In the Fade. For fans of Screaming Trees and Mudhoney.
