In my musicblogg there ain't many albums from the 90's. Why? Well, bacause there weren't many albums to write about, at least not from the years 1992-1998. Grunge ruled the world of rockmusic and the music I grew up listening to were all of a sudden just...not there. I have nothing against grunge as such, I listened to quite a lot of those bands. But there was also something else happening in the rockworld; the dark and heavy Stoner rockbands became popular and i liked some of them, ecspecially Kyuss 3rd album Welcome to Sky Valley wich is a punch right in the face. The album is so alive even though it's so dark and mysterious. I just can't sit still to this music, I just have to play airguitar and headbang! The band disbanded in 1995 but reformed in 2011 with the exception of Josh Homme.

Josh Homme is also a founder of the wellknown band Queens Of The Stone Age and plays in the band since 1997. He is also in the band Them Crocked Vultures wich also features John Paul Jones (ex.Led Zeppelin) and Dave Grohl (ex.Nirvana and currently Foo Fighters).

This is the 1st Kyuss-album to feature Scott Reeder. He replaced Nick Oliveri who played on the two previous albums.

Brant Bjork played in the stoner rockband Fu Manchu between 1997 and 2002.

1)Gardenia (8,5) Was there anything like this in 1994? Extremely dark sound and guitar tuned low like hell. Slow but still rocking and the bass pounding while the guitarist plays wah-wah. For me, stonerrock was born with this song and I wanted to hear more. Damn good!

2)Asteroid (7,0) The song expodes into a heavy riff and then goes into a psychotic mess and then starts over again with an chaotic ending.

3)Supa scoopa and might scoop. (8,0) Not much singing in the song, mainly heavy riffing and cool bass- and drumpounding.

4)100 0 (8,5) Short, heavy and it rocks like hell!

5)Space cadet (8,0) Superb acoustic guitarplaying partly with the drums keeping a slow pace.

6)Demon cleaner (7,0)

7)Odyssey (9,0) Another killer song! Frenzy and heavy and a calm middlesection builds up the end part in a great way.

8)Conan troutman (8,0) Like song 4. but too short.

9)N.O. (7,5)

10) Whitewater (8,0) 8 minutes of enjoyment. Typical Kyuss-song but with a long Led Zeppelin/Doors jam/dope-part.

Score: 7,95

John Garcia-vocals (b.1970)

Josh Homme-guitars (b.1973)
