Kyuss, along with Monster Magnet and a handful of other doom bands brought to light a form of music which was never meant to see the light of day. Hailing from the Whitewater/Palm Springs Desert, where lesser creatures are known to crumble, Kyuss reign supreme as the gods of sludge. A brief viewing of what's to come, Wretch is more garage punk than anything else, guitars are tuned semi-normally, and John Garcia's howls are more earthly. This is tight stuff, but nothing close to what these monsters would become. Of interest to hear where it all started, but a severe disappointment to those who expect something along the lines of Sky Valley.
