It's probably not that suitable for a Notorious B.I.G. album either. Seriously, where the fuck did that come from?
As for the album, I never said I'd stopped listening to it - quite the opposite, I've played it quite a few times. But it's going to take a while to get into. I plan on buying some of the others and seeing if I can get into them a bit more. But it may well be one of these records where I'm always wishing they'd give me the master tapes so I can remix it.

I said it was a good 'rock' voice. But maybe not for indie 'rock'. Do you see the connection? Try hard, it'll come to you.

You're a bit of a twat, aren't you? You'll fit in well.
My point was that saying he didn't fit into indie rock was a fairly random comment to make - you could've just commented that he wouldn't fit into any other genre under the sun.
Alex C:
I dunno, I've always felt like it depends a lot on your musical background whether Sky Valley or BftRS is more "accessible". I feel personally that Sky Valley is most accessible in retrospect; drone and post rock has really taken off and become established since then, after all. Long and vaguely psychedelic hushed interludes sandwiched by intense passages is relatively common now, whereas I remember when I first encountered Kyuss it was how damned earth shaking and immediate they were that gave me a place to start. For example, Green Machine isn't their best song, but it sure as hell isn't confusing; it exists to rock out in the most uncomplicated terms possible, and I could easily imagine Beavis and Butthead headbanging to it. I listen to Sky Valley more often since it's more varied than its predecessor, but I think I respond more strongly to BftRS on a purely visceral level.
Spluff:
I think Whipstich summed up my thoughts on that matter nicely, Sky Valley is more accessible if your coming from a drone/post-rock-esque background, whereas BftRS is probably more accessible if your coming from a rock or a metal background. I should throw in a mention for ...Circus though, which I feel is probably the most generally accessible and is easily on par with the other albums, quality wise (though most people don't seem to agree with me there).

Yes, I understood your point. I see this isn't going to go anywhere, as you've misunderstood mine.
