Produced by Chris Goss, Masters of Reality mastermind, this is both heavy and psychedelic. Homme's guitar is down-tuned and plugged into a bass amp, giving this unique sound. Pure reefer music.

For a genre capable of producing some of the most boring and monotonous music know, Kyuss is a true outlier among stoner rockers. The band displays tremendous power, tension and technical skill on Blues for the Red Sun. The bass is consistently rumbling and pounding, aided by Josh Homme actually plugging his guitar into a bass amp. There are some excellent low end moments here to, and while the pedals aren't very high in the mix, they are effective and it doesn't take away from the record. The lead singer's voice is a little grating for some, but the vocals wisely take a back seat to the instrumentation. 5 of the actual 13 tracks are varied, well-done instrumentals and Mondo Generator features distorted vocals. The drums are great too, despite over-reliance on crashing cymbals. It helps to give the band a distinct sound, and captures the desert vibe of SoCal perfectly. Another classic from the 90's.

Such beautifully dark sludge slowly poured into your ears, and one of the first bands to do it. The best testament to this album's worth is that I was listening to a song which I thought was 4-5 minutes and turned out to be less than 2. It's just that heavy

This album is eternal to me when it's in my car. Everything about this album is fucking awesome. The guitars, the jam sessions (evident throughout the album), and lyrical content make this album so enjoyable. I enjoy Kyuss much more then Queens of The Stone Age, all of Kyuss' albums are amazing in their own right. Blues For The Red Sun is no exception to this rule.

I enjoy listening to stoner rock bands, when I came across Blues for the red sun not only did it make me change my opinion on the genre, it showed me even bands like this who I find enjoyable to listen to can write something simply breathtaking. The brilliance of this album just hooked me staight away, from the start of Thumb to the four second outro to the album. This is an album everytime u listen to it you have to listen to it from start to finish, theirs know songs that you ever feel of skipping, as you feel scared it might ruin the way you go into the next song. In conclusion this album just stands out as a "Classic"
