Queens Of The Stone Age - Queens Of The Stone Age [2LP] (180 Gram) SEALED

 

DOUBLE LP DELUXE GATEFOLD + 3 BONUS TRACKS!

Upon the dissolution of the criminally overlooked Kyuss, guitarist Josh Homme pulled up stakes from the California Desert for the Pacific Northwest to work on a new project concurrent with spending time on the road as second guitarist in Screaming Trees. Seeking a new sound, Homme discarded the sludgy low-end expanses of his former band for much tighter song structure (for the most part) and honest-togoodness capital 'H' hooks and what was originally christened
Gamma Ray was quickly changed to Queens Of The Stone Age shortly after birth.

Homme returned to his old stomping grounds and re-united with latter day Kyuss drummer Alfredo Hernandez to record as a fake trio (bass player ''Carlo Von Sexron'' is a nom-deboom
for Homme) and QOTSA came into full bloom. If this re-issue doesn't document ''hour zero,'' it's only a few minutes past. ''Regular John'' introduces Homme as a smooth and assured vocalist with great melodic instinct. Tracks like ''Avon'' and ''Walkin' On Sidewalks'' lock into heavy riffs that are in entrancing in their repetition and subtle shifts. And it's hard to believe that insistently catchy ''How To Handle A Rope'' didn't make a greater impact on mainstream radio upon its initial release. Amidst the mid-fi riffage and willful experimentalism of an artist forging a new sound for himself are some killer guitar melodies that could have easily come from 1971, 1991 or 2011. And that's part of the timelessness of this unassuming debut album. QOTSA can only truly be classified as a ''rock band;'' Any attempt to narrow that down further would be to neglect the scope of Homme's broad body of work and the band's wide-reaching appeal.

This Rekords Records re-issue (in conjunction with Domino) has been fully remastered from the original tapes and has been expanded by three tracks  ''The Bronze'' & ''These Aren't the Droids You're Looking For'' (from the a split EP from '98) and ''Spiders and Vinegaroons'' which was part of the posthumous Kyuss/QOTSA split EP. The vinyl is a double LP deluxe gatefold package that will also include a free digital download card.

Selling Points:
- The groundbreaking QOTSA debut is back in print!
- The album has been remastered and repackaged to include three out of print rarities: ''The Bronze'', ''These Aren't The Droids You're Looking For'' and ''Spiders and Vinegaroons.''
-The gatefold doube-vinyl version comes with complimentary digital downloads.
- QOTSA will be touring in 2011 in conjuntion with this re-issue.
