Everybody...knows...that...you're...INSANE!

[Krilons Resa]

...They do, ya know.

not their best song, but it's alright. that whole album is too poppy and straight-forward for my tastes. obviously it's still good, but it doesn't compare to any of the other material.

 

[neal]

how do they compare to Kyuss?

they don't. neither does anything else.

I disagree. they are two totally different monsters, but a lot of QOTSA material (mostly the first three albums) can certainly hold its own against Kyuss. It's the same mastermind, afterall.

in other news: i was listening to wretch yesterday while in deadlock traffic while it seemed to be about 100 degrees outside. that is a pretty amazing album even if it doesn't represent the "classic" kyuss sound.

Well the reason why Kyuss are uncomparable within the "genre" is because their music was the output of many masterminds: Homme, Bjork, Garcia, even Oliveri. And don't forget that even Chris Goss' sound mastery was important on the whole result.

^ what I was thinkin'

Something about Kyuss is just a lot more timeless and amazing than even the earlier Queens stuff

 

[MFJ]

Homme wrote most of the Kyuss songs if you look at the linear notes. I was pretty much talking about the music.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

He did write more than the others but that doesn't mean that these others were just playing what he told them, not that their whole output would be the same without Goss' influence on it.

Brant Bjork wrote some kickass songs for Kyuss also, as he continued to do before he fizzled out into mediocre bullshit with his solo career.
