Entertainment Weekly (1/15/93, p.53) - "The name is from Dungeons & Dragons, the kids are from Palm Springs, and the languorously long vibes of the music are from the tie-dye '70s. Their sophomore outing suggests Kyuss might just wrap 'em all up into something mystical and magical of its own..." - Rating: B+
Q (7/01, p.87) - Included in Q's "50 Heaviest Albums of All Time" - "...There is not much here that Black Sabbath had not done 20 years previously, from megalithic, superfuzzed riffage...to loaded song titles like '50 Million Year Trip'....the heaviest music of thier era."
Alternative Press (4/93, p.68) - "...[Kyuss'] menacing, low-end rumble has more to do with the blues than any northwestern musical territory....their extended jamming [is] soulful...mountainous and serene--Kyuss make earth music..."
Kyuss: Nick Oliveri (vocals, bass); John Garcia (vocals); Josh Homme (guitar); Brant Bjork (drums).
