Do you not like Kyuss? It does in many ways serve as a transition from Kyuss to QOTSA. For example there is a lot more in their first album that you could compare to Kyuss than there is in Lullabies. I feel its their most sludge-ish, repetitive at times, stoner rock album. They started to really move away from it after that album by album.

Yeah, I would go along with that. I think the move away from everything that was Kyuss was gradual though rather than achieved with the self titled. I assume you feel similar even if not word for word if you feel you could be swayed in your opinion?

Im surprised you hate the self titled though, I must admit. But each to their own.
