… AND THE CIRCUS LEAVES TOWN

Out-of-print in the US. Spin (9/95 pp.112-113) - 6 - Reasonably Good -.. wallows in a deep bass-driven earthy blues that s on a continuum with John Lee Hooker dub reggae and Miles Davis early 70s electric period. Kyuss preferred method of assault is a slow-motion blizzard of sound like thrash slowed down to 16 RPM.. Q (8/95 p.124) - 3 Stars - Good -.. part grunge rumble part Mick Ronson salvo circa Spiders of Mars..John Garcia s vocals wail convincingly but it s Josh Homme s fluid guitar that strays into everything from glam to thrash with a touch of melody lulling the impartial listener into a false sense of semi-comfort.. NME (7/15/95 p.46) - 8 (out of 10).. The thinking mammoth s metal muthas..Kyuss riffs are supremely obese like the bowels of Black Sabbath after six vindaloos and no rice and only Monster Magnet can really compare on that level.
