Released
September 22, 1998
March 4, 2011 (Australia)
March 7, 2011 (UK)
May 17, 2011 (US)



Recorded April 3, 1998 – April 21, 1998



Genre hard rock, stoner rock, alternative rock


This is QOTSA's first album and I must say it is their best album in their catolog along with Songs For The Deaf . This is also a unique album since you hear Homme’s past and future intertwining.
You hear the spacey sound of Kyuss as well as the brawn and agression of later QOTSA.
I find the album to be flawless.

2. Avon
3. If Only
4. Walkin' On The Sidewalks
5. You Would Know
6. The Bronze
7. How To Handle A Rope

Interesting how they've sandwiched the extra tracks between the original ones instead of just adding them on the end.

QOTSA. Incredible band. I was talking about them with a friend of mine yesterday, and I believe this album came into the discussion. I need to pick up a copy, all I have is a downloaded version. Awesome review though.

I don't have any Kyuss or QOTSA in the house...:peek

I keep forgetting about them for some reason.

Very nice review Mud, I can see you love this album so if I do get around to checking them out I'll start here.:grinthumb

This is one of my all-time favorite albums.

My favorite Queens of the Stone Age album to date!

This album blew my mind first time I heard it, and it still does to this day.

Favorite songs off the album:
You Can't Quit Me Baby
If Only
Walkin On the Sidewalks
Mexicola
The Bronze
How to Handle a Rope

but all the songs on the album are great, just like any other QOTSA album (for the most part haha)
