When blue men sing the whites/reds for the blue sun
onewheelwizzard:
It depends who you ask. I will personally tout "Sky Valley" as not only their best album but the best album to come out of that entire decade. But then, I might just be gay for Scott Reeder, who replaced Nick Oliveri on bass after "Blues." If you like "Blues" you are doing yourself a huge disservice to not pick up the next two ... "Circus" might fall a little flat after listening to the others, but it's still fucking rock action. "Sky Valley" is simply perfect.

Kyuss were my favourite band for a very long time during my late teens early twenties. Blues for the Red Sun is very good, but Sky Valley is absolutely awesome. One of those albums I can put on, listen to all the way through and enjoy every bit, which is pretty rare for me.

This thread might as well be titled "I haven't listened to this album enough yet". I think this record took me about a year or something. Maybe even put it away and try again in two years. I'm not being flippant here, I've done this with hundreds of records over the years. Don't sweat it if it doesn't click now, it might do later on down the road.

This tends to work for me on occasion too. I never throw out or sell records any more, that'd be ridiculous. My CDs are my children, dammit.
High-pitched screaming may well be the wrong choice of phrasing, but he's no baritone and doesn't exactly sound classically trained.

Yeah, I'd definitely agree with that. Sky Valley and Circus are instantly awesome but Blues takes some effort and preset appreciation of the band.
I was massive on these guys a couple years ago, might have to dig out my copy of Wretch again.
onewheelwizzard:
Wretch makes them sound like a completely different band. I mean, it's a good album, but the production on it removes a lot of the impact that those songs otherwise would have.
