Bleep

The seminal debut from Queens Of The Stone Age, who celebrate their 25th anniversary with a series of represses beginning with the album that started it all. Their 1998 breakthrough features heavy, throttling and thrashing guitars, crashing drums stampeding throughout and Josh Homme’s smooth vocals. The gnashing labyrinth of strums, screeches, and wails of guitars on ‘Walkin On The Sidewalks’ precedes entrancing instrumental passages that bridge the divide between the likes of the experimental Can and the more accessible rock music dominating the 90s pop airwaves, part of what makes this album stand up so well today.
