LISTEN TO THE WHOLE THING.
When you first drop the needle on a copy of Kyuss (Affectionately referred to as Welcome to Sky Valley by most fans), you might think that there is a problem with your stereo, because there is just no possible way the music emanating from the speakers should sound this distorted. But you would be wrong, as the Palm Desert quartet plays with the fuzz turned up to eleven and enough volume to reduce a mountain to a swirling storm of dust.
This is music that feels constantly in motion, as though by listening to it you are placed at the wheel of a 1968 Pontiac GTO and are launched down a desolate highway getting really shitty gas mileage the whole way. The riffs smolder in the speakers as your ears take a drag and thick smoke pours out of your mouth as though you just took a hit off a bong the size of an oil drum.
As the sun sets over the mesa and the stars come out, flashing lights and sirens fill the night air as you glance down at the speedometer and realize that you are flying down the road at 666 miles per hour. Then as though channeling the Duke brothers or Mad Max, you floor the gas pedal, take another hit from the cinder tipped speakers, flip your headlights off and let go of the wheel.
Hyperbole aside, this is serious driving music, highly recommended for any road trip or long commute in warm weather where you can crank it with the windows down and feel the breeze.
