Ah yes, QOTSA's self-titled debut. At the time of this album's recording, the line-up consisted of Joshua Homme, Alfredo Hernandez, and Homme's alter ego - Carlo Von Sexron. It's sound is quite different from it's follow up "Rated R," and it's kind of surprising how even people familiar with QOTSA's work have never listened to this album.
The album doesn't have the production work or variety of QOTSA's later albums, but it is still a vital part of the band's discography and some of the Homme's best work. A sort of heavy-metal minded attitude to riffing and distortion dominates the albums sound, but not in the way the average listener would expect. It's feels warm and fuzzy, rather than aggressive and crushing. Hardly surprising if one is familiar with Homme's work. Can't accuse him of treading the beaten path.
This life is a trip you're psycho in love, and I know.
