Another proto-stoner gem. Ofc the main influences is, duh, Black Sabbath's third album, but it's additioned with clear blues rock influences (eg Cream), country and there even are some traces of symphonic pop a la Beatles. The whole lot is groovy and reminds the South's dirty sound but still retains a certain pop sensibility. Btw, Rick Rubin was the producer. No wonder Homme was obsessed with this album, it's basically proto-QOTSA. Shame it's not on Spotify 'cause all songs would end up on playlists.

Musically speaking, I found this album to be at decent levels. Engaging grooves ("The Candy Song", "John Brown"), solid rhythms ("Gettin' High", "Domino") and diversity in style. Production-wise it is even better as it does not give you the sense at any time that you listen to a late 80s record. In my opinion there are two negatives that hold back this record. First, the explicit absence of catchy choruses and secondly, Chris Goss voice: it is melodic but lacks character. Recommendations: "Kill The King", "Domino", "The Candy Song", "Doraldin's Prophicies"
