do they have an album with rawer production?

xpost Make It Wit Chu was an old Desert Sessions song they revived for Queens. Doesn't support the "they couldn't have done it with Oliveri" theory.

well, there is the live release if you prefer the more direct form .. (the dvd came with a cd version .. )

I only ever heard Rated R. I should really check out some other stuff, but for me they'll never quite cut it because they just aren't Kyuss.

the first album is the best by far

For Kyuss and first album fans, I would direct to Gozu (who should have a second album coming soon, and are touring this summer) and early Colour Haze.
Kyuss/Stoner Rock

Agreed. Things progressively went downhill after that. Homme is also a Tea Party loving dickhead.
― Bill Magill, Tuesday, 5 July 2011 21:13 (twelve years ago) link
then and now, songs for the deaf, even over kyuss. it's their biggest hit, commercial as hell, and a far cry from "stoner rock," but i like nearly every song, love the production & drumming. i played it to death at the time and still keep a distance due to overfamiliarity, but that doesn't dim my affection even the least little bit.

― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 6 July 2011 01:26 (twelve years ago) link
To me, the last two LPs are really a step down from the first three. I've gotten the last two CDs listened to them a couple of times and they have not left the shelf for much. They just are there. I think the stripped down minimalism of the first one is way more unique than anything else they did.

Rated R is my favourite, then maybe Era Vulgaris. Songs For The Deaf has some good moments but is too loud and too long. Debut has a couple of top songs but is a bit squiffy. Love Rated R all the way through, though. Their most fun record, I think.
― lol sickmouthy (Scik Mouthy), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 08:33 (twelve years ago) link
Songs For The Deaf is probably my favourite commercial rock album of the last decade tbh.
Never listened to the Lullabies one. I gather it's not that good? I thought Era Vulgaris was OK but not up to the first 3.
I don't attempt to compare QOTSA to Kyuss because as others have said they are not really playing the same kind of music.
― a fucking stove just fell on my foot. (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 6 July 2011 08:46 (twelve years ago) link
First album is just perfect, a lovely supine groove. Songs For The Deaf is a total blast too, more AllKillerNoFiller than such diverse albums mostly manage. Never really liked Rated R beyond a few songs, though. Lanegan did some great work with them, and they certainly repaid his efforts.

I only heard it once, back in the olden days, but that's what I remember everyone saying at the time. So it doesn't sound like Terrorvision? I'm kind of disappointed.

Don't know if Homme is but Jesse from Eagles of Death Metal sure as hell is:
Antiquiet: I saw a video a while back talking about the election. Something tells me you weren’t one of the people running through the streets, crying and screaming over Obama winning.
Jesse Hughes: No, I was one of the people running and crying in the streets. I was just crying for different reasons. Because we just elected a communist to the highest office in the land, simply because he wasn’t a Republican. I still don’t know reasons why we voted for him. I know why we didn’t elect the other guy, but that doesn’t make any sense. You can’t be a communist and a free thinker at the same time.
Antiquiet: Don’t you think it might take someone that far to the left to offset the balance of the neocon movement and unchecked corporate pillaging?
Jesse Hughes: I think it’s because we’ve been deceived and confused into thinking in left and right, when we should only be thinking in terms of right and wrong. And when you don’t think in terms of right and wrong, you voluntarily allow for propaganda and deceit. I’m talking about the same people who believed Bill Clinton and when it turned out he was lying they spent the rest of their political lives making excuses for the criminal. I don’t see that setup being any different here.
Aside from that, I think it just proves what maybe was possible all along. Maybe this country isn’t as racist as we think it is. You know what I mean? And I think that’s a fuckin great thing. But on the other hand, a dude who wants to give everyone free fuckin’ lunch doesn’t impress me much. The highest office in the land puts him in charge of the military. Something this man hates, by record. He hates it. And what has the motherfucker ever done in his life besides get elected? Cause that’s all he’s done. He’s really good at it.
Besides, I wanted to get down with Sarah Palin, and now I don’t get to have that fantasy in my face every day. That’s a bummer.

Off the top of my head (haven't listened to most of 'em in a while):
S/T-Excellent, although IMO the production is kinda dry (I probably think this because I landed here after R and Welcome To Sky Valley formed my reference points). Need to pick up the reissue.Rated R-Had thought it the weak link in the initial three albums, but recently got ahold of the deluxe edition, and upon relistening, would put it on par w/the first one anyway. This was one of the soundtracks to my senior year in high school. I can't tell you how refreshing it was to hear this in those Nu Metal days. Had the "Never Say Never" cover made the album, they would have had their one-hit an album earlier.Songs For The Deaf- The masterpiece, where everything clicked.Lullabies to Paralyze-Haven't listened to it since it came out. Remember it being a crushing disappointment, but OTOH there are some good songs on it.Era Vulgaris-A glossy return to form. Spun it alot the summer of release before filing it away.
I never got the live collection.

This isn't a big secret, Homme says so in interviews. For example: http://www.guardian.co.uk/music/2010/sep/16/us-musicians-healthcare-insurance-vic-chestnutt
Josh Homme admits he's "very conservative" politically. He doesn't think the government has any better idea how to spend his money than he does, and whenever an administration has tried he's sure they've got it wrong. "But this is such a huge problem," he says. "We can't turn away from it."
