The upcoming remastered re-release (with three extra tracks of course) is a good enough excuse to post this. Straight-up no-messing stoner rock from the Queens. The natural bridge from Kyuss to where they are now, minus founding member and all. This would make a nice vinyl purchase.

By far their best album, hopefully this re-release will give it the exposure it deserves.
It does sound a little weedy when played side by side with the others, but I still have mixed feelings about re-masters. Hopefully they don’t all out slam it to 0db…will have to gve it a listen on some decent speakers I suppose.
