| Track | Title | Notes | |-------|-------|-------| | 1 | Regular John | Gritty riff, hypnotic groove. Named after a mysterious acquaintance. | | 2 | Avon | Punchy, short, almost punk-infused. | | 3 | If Only | Melodic, melancholic. One of the more accessible tracks. | | 4 | Walkin’ on the Sidewalks | Expansive, psychedelic midsection with spoken word. | | 5 | You Would Know | Slow-burning tension with explosive chorus. | | 6 | The Bronze | Bonus track on reissues. Swaggering riff, fan favorite. | | 7 | How to Handle a Rope (A Lesson in the Lariat) | Aggressive, angular, unpredictable time signatures. | | 8 | Mexicola | Deep bass groove, ominous lyrics. Live staple. | | 9 | Hispanic Impressions | Instrumental, droning, experimental. | | 10 | You Can’t Quit Me Baby | Nearly eight minutes of crawling tension, building to catharsis. | The self-titled album showcases the band's unique blend
Many of these old "leaks" were encoded at low bitrates (128kbps), which fails to capture the intricate production of the album.
The album was primarily a two-man effort. Recorded in April 1998, Josh Homme handled vocals and nearly all instruments except for the drums, which were played by his former Kyuss bandmate Alfredo Hernández. This lean production, co-produced by Joe Barresi, resulted in a raw, "scuzzy" charm that felt like a "remote stretch of desert highway" meeting a "skeevy dance club". Iconic Tracks and Legacy
