Product Description
From Amazon.com
Any similarities that Queens of the Stone Age may have to Kyuss are probably inevitable--all three members of this group were in Kyuss at one time or another. The intention of this band, however, is not to create Kyuss 2, but to make its own brand of noise. Falling somewhere between Can and Canned Heat, the trio brings an occasional electronic aura to the guitar-based chug of stoner rock. While not as brash and earsplitting as their previous band (singer-guitarist Josh Homme--a Jack Bruce sound-alike--lays back where Kyuss frontman John Garcia would have yelped), these guys have made a debut album that is nevertheless an intriguing, aggressive, trippy aural journey that bows down to no trend. --Janiss Garza
Entertainment Weekly
A bit too cerebral to fall under the stoner-rock rubric (Fu Manchu).

Top 10 Best Albums Ever... Better than Abbey Road!!!!,
By "vertigo-one" (Jacksonville, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Queens Of The Stone Age (Audio CD)
This is my favorite album by one of my favorite bands, and yes, i heard them before you did!I really can't think of another album where i wouldn't dream of skipping a single song. This album is so solid from beginning to end. Is that a testament to greatness or what? Every track is just as awesome as the one before it. Since they are all equal, i won't bother pointing out 'Mexicola', 'How to Handle a Rope', You Would Know', 'Avon', and 'You Can't Quit Me Babe' are my personal favorites. That would undermine my whole mission statement. I'm bothered by the thought of being some lame best-of album producer, and having to cut a lot of these tracks out of a greatest hits cd because this band has done much better work on 'Rated R' and 'Songs for the Deaf'. I read every day the album is dying as an artform and i fear this may end up being one of the last truly great long players. This album doesn't feature the sharp production or the polish featured on the last two albums, but it has a definite sense of style you don't find in bands usually forged from the ashes from the meltdown of another band. The example that comes to mind right now is Velvet Revolver. Does anyone in their right mind find their sound to be refreshing? The only bamds i've felt this way about hearing their debut in the last five years would be Rival Schools and Killswitch Engage... Buy this cd and just leave it on repeat. I saw the movie 'Wrong Turn', which sucked, but i convinced myself i liked it for a short period only because it has two songs from this album on the soundtrack... Let's hope Nick's departure doesn't ruin something that has almost single-handedly saved rock'n'roll...

great album,
By Brian "BogusBrian" (AR United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Queens Of The Stone Age (Audio CD)
If you were to ask me what the best QOTSA cd was, I would have to say it would be their debut. Sure, "Rated R" and "SFTD" are great, but their debut is just better, even without Dave Grohl playing drums on their first album (or second). Overall great rock album.
