gem
As stated it's a split kyuss and qotsa ( and early form of the band). This is a little gem of an "album". The opening track is a great cover of black sabbath's Into the void. it just covers you in an umbrella of sound, not just a downpour of distortion per se, but a meticulously crafted rainstorm of groove. Also the one reason this stays in my c. d. player is the track "if Only" It's featured on the qotsa debut, but on here the sound is different and in my opinion much better. It's almost as if nirvana were palying the song with J. Homme still at vocals. Just friggin great. Another standout track is "Spiders and Vinegroons". It's almost there. It's an awesome rock-stomp, that could'vre been crafted into an amazing song, but falls a little short at the end. all in all for the kyuss & qotsa fans alike, it is a must have. Could've been an A+ album if only.


Kyuss blows away anything to date.....
g. Being an o. kyuss fan i have to say im disappointed with the lack of good taste out there. Kyuss unknowingly started this stupid label "stoner rock", and to this day no one has come close to there originality in songwriting or vocals or presence. . . . . Its a damn shame people end up liking the expected heavy rotation of monotony thats shoveled down our throats. To sum up, this album rips a must have for any true kyuss/Queens/josh fan.


Spiders And Vinegaroons is worth the buy alone.
I have of course gotten a burned copy from a friend. I love this album and I am very sad that I cannot find it anywhere to buy. Spiders And Vinegaroons is worth the buy alone I would say. The rest of the songs are very good but Spiders And Vinegaroons just rocks my socks for some reason I love it.


And so I drifted into the far oblivion.....
First off, I agree with a fellow reviewer, that if you are of the Dazed and Confused generation, you must get this album/EP. I bet the only people that wrote a review here are the one's that own this fine piece of EP. You must be high as a kite too. For your world will change and you will be lifted above yourself and taken to supernovaaaaaaaa!!!.


Supercosmic ultratrick spectaculorama.

You're [drawn] in early by a fine representation of Black Sabbath's "Into the Void", which is half a joke for any Kyuss follower from the band itself. As a Kyuss devotee, it's hard to find fault with this album beyond its being too short. Their sound is compared to the metal forerunners frequently enough that Kyuss members would chafe at the thought. Follow that with a long, meticulous, guitar-rich and heavy groove called Fatso Forgetso (you will find your CD deck locked on Repeat for hours). You'll then be carried through with little hesitation, in the best deep desert metal megagrooved rock fashion, to a wicked, unerthly, waiting for my spaceship-psychotic "Spiders and Vinegaroons," which is a perfect close to any long night of staring at the universe from a back road in Baja or Bakersfield. Press Repeat again and faze into the Milky Way for three hours. More treats on this album? The charming radio failure "If Only Everything," which proved a song can be too good for the bulk of its listenership to grasp, the frenetic and energetic traditional metal-distorted "Born to Hula," a song looking for a rugby keg party.

And for more of the CA high desert vibe that permeates this supreme piece of musicianship, type vinegaroon into a search engine. [. . . ]. This is a sensational piece of sound, Kyuss' penultimate moment. Zen on.
