Reccomended for Queens fans only
This box set hints at the things to come from QOTSA. My exposure to Kyuss happenned after I purchased Rated R by Queens of the Stone Age 5 years ago. There are some bright moments on each of the discs. If they could have put together a best of of the three discs we might be still listening to Kyuss and QOTSA would have never happenned but they just couldn't quite put together that must have disc and now we have QOTSA, thankfully.

I know some have pointed to the vocals but for me the songs themselves are just not quite there. As a Queens fan myself this is a must have but I would not recommend this to non Queens fans.


This is it....
When I first listened to it, the sheer force of those c-tuned heavy guitars took me away to the desert and I have yet to return. Kyuss is THE rock band of the AGES!

EYE (I) first become aware of the BEST heavy rock band, KYUSS (pronounced KAI-US), with SKY VALLEY. These songs continue to inspire and, other than it's later incarnations in THE DESERT SESSIONS and QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, nothing even compares to it today.

BLUES FOR THE RED SUN completely captures the essence of the band. From relentless riffs that chug along, highlighted by sweet licks and harmonics to sheer virtuosity, KYUSS gives you everything you'd want and more.

SKY VALLEY is an epic three sided masterpiece of heavy metal that truly takes you on a journey through the Californian high desert. The opening thunderous riffs on GARDENIA let you know what the ride is about . From heavy and bawdy metal songs to soft and gentle accoustic jams , the album moves seemlessly from song to song as it paints rich and textured musical images that are truly one of a kind in music anywhere.

AND THE CIRCUS LEAVES TOWN is pretty good, but of the three, for me it ranks third. It's more hit or miss, but it's chocked full of the goods on SPACESHIP LANDING and EL RODEO.

KYUSS is always a mainstay in my rotation and I've since gone on with THE DESERT SESSIONS and QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE because I feel the heart of all these bands has been the fierce and epic guitar work and song writing of JOSH HOMME.

I urge you the make the move, because once you venture into the desert you'll have no reason to return.


Don't bother getting this set...
I've tried three times to order this from Amazon. You won't be able to. Each time they let me ride for about two to three weeks before telling me they "thought they could get it. . . but they can't. " Do yourself a favor and just pick up the three discs separately. They're just as good. And at least you'll be able to actually get them.

Musically this is a 5 star set. However it should be removed from their catalog or at least labeled as unavailable.


rightful heirs to BLACK SABBATH
They were my favorite band of the 90s. If you listened to Sabbath in the 70s (with Ozzy ONLY), you MUST own these CDs. They're nothing like Queens of the Stone Age. It's Sabbath all over again, remember how it was in the 70s? This @#$% is HEAVY and you will pass the knowledge to your disciples. So, if you really dug Sabbath, I KNOW you can't pass a chance to hear these guys. Only for TRUE LOYAL Sabheads. I promise your life will be enriched and you will ENJOY!!!.


Kyuss----The Greatest Band of the 1990's
If you listen to what's on the radio, run, dont walk. This box set is a must have for the true music lover. Kyuss is over your head and you do must not cheapen Kyuss by playing them along side of Disturbed and Papa Roach( you inferior cheesedick). If you have a high IQ, however, Kyuss is your new favorite band. Take this box set with you on a long scenic road trip (with a good car system of course) and you'll be mesmerized. One CD will provide you with a years worth of favorite tunes(you'll have a new favorite every week or so), as you'll NEVER tire of Kyuss. Soon you'll be telling everyone you meet about the greatest band they've never heard of. Anyone who fails to grasp the depth of the music must be immediately and permanently OSTRASIZED!.
