        releasenotes

  Hearing Queens of the Stone Age's long out of print debut many years after its
  initial 1998 release does pack the shock of revelation: Josh Homme's tightly
  wound blueprint for QOTSA was in place from the very beginning. Where Homme's
  previous outfit, Kyuss, were all about expansion, Queens of the Stone Age were
  about compression, Homme stripping stoner rock to its essence -- riffs as
  heavy as granite, solos as spacy as the desert sky. The songs on Queens of the
  Stone Age are shorter, pulled into focus by grinding fuzz riffs that anchor
  the proceedings even when the instrumental sections begin to drift into the
  ether. Another distinguishing factor in Queens of the Stone Age is that Homme
  writes full-blown songs -- pushing their two best songs, "Regular John" and
  "Avon", to the front, giving them room to float later on -- so the album isnÆt
  just about instrumental interaction, but the crucial difference is that this
  isn't music solely for disaffected males. There is sex and swagger to Queens
  of the Stone Age, there's a swing to the rhythms, there's a darkly enveloping
  carnal menace buttressed by muscle and lust that keeps the album from being an
  insular stoner headpiece. Certainly, there's enough sinewy force to suggest
  the mighty brawn of Rated R and Songs for the Deaf; Homme retained enough of
  the desert spaciness of Kyuss to give Queens of the Stone Age an otherworldly
  shimmer, a hazy quality he later abandoned for aggressive precision, so this
  winds up as a unique record in his catalog, a place where you can hear Homme's
  past and future intertwining.
