Queens of the Stone Age

Rolling Stone (p.70) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]hey'd never again groove like this, with gurgling Teutonic drones swallowing Stooges chords and intercepted radio cross talk." Spin (1/99, pp.119-120) - 7 (out of 10) - "...While there's really nothing in this collection worth trading in those Melvins albums for, it's strangely compelling to hear how Homme and his cohorts killed many an afternoon in a thick THC haze with Can's TAGO MAGO, then worked it into their patented pedal abuse..." Q (12/99, pp.126-127) - 4 Stars (out of 5) - "...deriving maximum power from a sound stripped to its core elements (Homme's bone-hard riffs and mournful vocals and a juggernaut of rhythm section)..." Uncut (p.91) - 4 stars out of 5 -- "[With] a belief in timeless, classic riffs and also more toothsome and unswinging structures..." Kerrang (Magazine) (p.52) - "[With] an array of influences as wide-reaching and sprawling as its sound." Record Collector (magazine) (p.93) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Queens Of The Stone Age were edgy, sarcastic and perfect for rock and metal audiences sick of Korn and Disturbed."
