And now for something completely different. Queens Of The Stone Age get lumped into that horrendous, modern bastardised version of the 'alternative' category, and this seems to put off a lot of people. If you can look past this, you'll get some excellent riffs, brilliant vocals and some pretty unique music. There's a lot about this album in particular to like - the bass riff in Mexicola, Josh Homme's washed out, falsetto vocals in Regular John or the intro to Walking On The Sidewalks. It's a groovy, it's a little odd and it's pretty darn heavy. Let the fuzzy, riffy goodness wash over you - it'll melt your brain and get stuck in your head for weeks. Oh yeah.
