The album's finest moments find the band in mid-pace, locking onto massive grooves on "I'm Not," "Big Bikes," and the awesome "Son of a Bitch." While less impressive, they still manage to inject memorable hooks and catchy riffs into full-tilt thrashers such as "Love Has Passed Me By," "Isolation," and the especially savage "Hwy 74."

Wretch shows that the band had the requisite pieces in place early on, though not necessarily in the right order.

People don’t like this album? Not gonna lie I didn’t even know until recently. I mean it probably is their weakest album but this album is so fucking raw and mysterious in a way that I could never dislike it in any way
Kyuss/ Queens of the Stone Age dive #1
The worst person you know will say this the all red cover
For the spring break, I have decided to listen and review all of the albums from 2 bands, Queens of the Stone Age, and the band I am currently covering right now, Kyuss. Now why would I be reviewing both of these bands. Well, it’s is mostly because of the one man who bridges the gap between these 2 different music acts, Josh homme, the vocalist for queens and guitarist behind both bands. ... read more
how in the name of christ is this a 68 this goes so hard?? there’s like three songs in here that warrant this to be that low out of the 11 on the tracklist
Those first few songs, The Law, and the closing track define a great basis for an album that is unfortunately littered with lacklustre, boring moments throughout. There's some great stuff here that is hidden between songs the band is incapable of appropriately performing due to a lack of palpable energy and poor songwriting.
They shine in their slower, sludgier sound which they ended up keeping for their later music. Probably won't be returning to this one often.
Baby Kyuss- all the bark, very little bite. Kyuss attempting to sound ‘heavy’, whereas their records to follow sound effortlessly so while still maintaining a palpable groove like a steady pulse
How in the hell is this so low??? This album is straight fire, yeah a few songs aren't great but its just such a good album, and SUPER underrated. Definitely better than Villains.
