Extremely unconventional songs with wild moods and sounds. This album is alternative in the best way possible. This album was not made for the casual listener expecting straight foreword rock/metal with a twist of cool sounds and effects. I gave the album one chance to be good yet didn't find what I wanted so I wrote it off. I didn't even listen to Spaceship Landing. Why did I think this? I hated the song names, I thought it had too much filler. When I first started listening to Kyuss I wrote this album off as mediocre. To die-hards of Sky Valley or Blues for the Red Sun, I don't think I could ever convince you of this album's hiding greatness. The consistency falls to the two instrumentals on each side of the record, as well as repetitive riffs or sections of songs at times. This just had the displeasure of following up monster albums that don't have a bad note on them. As I stated above, this album fails at being truly consistent which by most bands is nothing uncommon. That being said, there are some downsides to the album to get out of the way first. Look at this album without comparison and you'll find it has a lot to offer. If you hate on this album because it's not another Sky Valley, just know that there was never going be another album like that again. This change was more or less thrusted upon them with the departure of key member and longtime drummer Brant Bjork. Trying to construct another Sky Valley would be insulting to the masterpiece, therefore, they chose correctly in a change of direction. The album is better for this, as who wants the same album over and over again (unless you're Van Halen, then this works?). It has a very different atmosphere to it like the feeling of somberness and exhaustion hangs in the air. This album is also not what those albums are. Right off the bat, this album is not as well constructed or cohesive as the two that came before it. Kyuss leaves town, but not before releasing a very solid effort.
