For:Fans of stoner rock, desert rock, psychedelic and experimental rock

 All the ingredients are in the right place: a good dose of Sabbath-like riffs as meaty as God intended, top-notch psychedelia, a pinch of avant-garde hardcore (remember, we're in SST territory), hallucinated desert-rock (Thin White Rope come to mind), noise that would make Sonic Youth envious, good old hard-rock, and finally a dash of folklore in the style of Camper Van Beethoven.
