CD Reviews

Don't bother getting this set...

"You won't be able to. I've tried three times to order this from Amazon. Each time they let me ride for about two to three weeks before telling me they "thought they could get it...but they can't." Do yourself a favor and just pick up the three discs separately. They're just as good. And at least you'll be able to actually get them.



Musically this is a 5 star set. However it should be removed from their catalog or at least labeled as unavailable."
This is it....

"Kyuss is THE rock band of the AGES!



EYE (I) first become aware of the BEST heavy rock band, KYUSS (pronounced KAI-US), with SKY VALLEY. When I first listened to it, the sheer force of those c-tuned heavy guitars took me away to the desert and I have yet to return. These songs continue to inspire and, other than it's later incarnations in THE DESERT SESSIONS and QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE, nothing even compares to it today.



BLUES FOR THE RED SUN completely captures the essence of the band. From relentless riffs that chug along, highlighted by sweet licks and harmonics to sheer virtuosity, KYUSS gives you everything you'd want and more.



SKY VALLEY is an epic three sided masterpiece of heavy metal that truly takes you on a journey through the Californian high desert. The opening thunderous riffs on GARDENIA let you know what the ride is about . From heavy and bawdy metal songs to soft and gentle accoustic jams , the album moves seemlessly from song to song as it paints rich and textured musical images that are truly one of a kind in music anywhere.



AND THE CIRCUS LEAVES TOWN is pretty good, but of the three, for me it ranks third. It's more hit or miss, but it's chocked full of the goods on SPACESHIP LANDING and EL RODEO.



KYUSS is always a mainstay in my rotation and I've since gone on with THE DESERT SESSIONS and QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE because I feel the heart of all these bands has been the fierce and epic guitar work and song writing of JOSH HOMME.



I urge you the make the move, because once you venture into the desert you'll have no reason to return."
