The Verdict

You can call it rock, hard rock or stoner rock. It doesn't really matter to me.

I was thoroughly unimpressed by this CD. The music from the Belgian rock outfit tends to run together with nothing that really differentiates each track from the rest.

The vocals are mixed incredibly low and rarely rise that far above the musical background.

After I listened to the CD and was preparing to write up my review, I took a look around the Net for what other people had to say in their reviews. I noticed mostly positive reviews and I just have to wonder what I'm missing.

I guess I'm just expecting something memorable from the music I listen to. Vocals, guitar, bass and drums should combine to form something better than the sum of their parts. This is not the case here. It is just and album that feels thrown together to satisfy a lull in the Queens of the Stone Age void and it is simply not very good.
