Queens of The Stone Age-Rated R (2000)
Posted in Stoner Metal on Jul 4th, 2009 No Comments »
What stoner rock delivers, slowed down and magnified, is the riff, the persistent legacy of Mississippi blues. Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath were the first to make a monolith of it; Soundgarden were its standard-bearers during the Nineties. Now, Queens of the Stone Age — the resulting sludge from the drained oil pit of Kyuss — are settling in as kings of the rock riff at the beginning of the new century.
