The teamwork, musicianship, and songwriting here are at their peak. All of their releases are formidable, but this one is their best in my opinion. Their hands down best effort of the four is "Welcome to Sky Valley"(1994). They released four albums throughout their career, and split apart in 1995. Kyuss came out with their first album in 1991. If there is such a thing as no holds barred, balls to the wall, acid burned, hippie biker metal, Kyuss is it. They combine all of these influences into a sound that is all theirs and has fueled tons of imitators throughout the years. What makes them unique is the ever present desert sun that permeates their sound and a strong penchant for biker metal a la Motorhead. They are driven by their influences from the past: Black Sabbath, Pentagram, Trouble, And Saint Vitus. If there is ever such thing as a quintessential, all encompassing stoner metal band, this would be it.
