THE REVIEW

Reddite quae sunt Caesaris Caesari et quae sunt Dei Deo

If you read correctly, it is in Latin, and it is the title of my review "Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's."

In the second case, what belongs to God we know, he owns almost everything, except for football teams, televisions, etc... things he left to his son Silvio, he couldn't own everything himself so by giving a few things to Silvio he created democracy.

In the first case, the Caesar in question is Kyuss, it seems to me they haven't received what they deserved, but in particular "Wretch."

Everyone mentions their masterpiece "Blues for the Red Sun" for heaven's sake, hands up!!! it's phenomenal as an album, Silvio is raising his hands too, forgive me, but the album I'm citing is superior, it's objective, even a mule would notice that "Wretch" is the consecration of STonER, this album if listened to at the right volume can create emotional deserts, inexplicable dizziness, once while I was listening to it I knocked over a photo of my girlfriend that I have on my dresser, thinking "You come after, shut up."

Josh plays that guitar in such a powerful way with such sharp riffs that... heck, I can't say what it does to me, but it does! Garcia has a voice that seems like a mirage in that desert, I won't cite tracks, this album is like good whiskey... all in one gulp.

There is only one review here in the DeBaser house, I haven't read it but I saw it has three dots, it pissed me off, I throw away the photo of my girlfriend whom I've loved for 3 years and you give it three damn dots?!

In conclusion, I hope I’ve changed some of your minds about the judgment of this album, you must instill in your heads that this is the best of Kyuss, I really care, we must do the deed of Caesar, so comment and write that I'm right, let's make Caesar happy.

Requiescat in Pace

 If Black Sabbath and Pink Floyd could have given birth to a bastard, they would have named it Kyuss.

 Despite its small size, even 'Wretch' contributed to delaying the celebrations for rock's funeral by a few years.
