Notes
Expanded 2011 edition of Queens Of The Stone Age’s debut album
Features original loose-groove cover artwork
“Here is a sound that sticks in your ears like Memphis in August.” — Rolling Stone
New for 2024, the expanded 2011 edition of Queens of the Stone Age’s legendary debut, self-titled album. On standard black vinyl from Matador, the reissue comes on the heels of Queens Of The Stone Age’s explosive, critically-lauded new album, In Times New Roman.
There is sex and swagger to Queens of the Stone Age, there’s a swing to the rhythms, there’s a darkly enveloping carnal menace buttressed by muscle and lust that keeps the album from being an insular stoner headpiece. Certainly, there’s enough sinewy force to suggest the mighty brawn of Rated R and Songs for the Deaf; Homme retained enough of the desert spaciness of Kyuss to give Queens of the Stone Age an otherworldly shimmer, a hazy quality he later abandoned for aggressive precision, so this winds up as a unique record in his catalog, a place where you can hear Homme’s past and future intertwining.
