Following the collapse of negotiations with Roadrunner Records, the album was released on September 22, 1998 on Loosegroove Records, operated by Pearl Jam guitarist Stone Gossard. The album was primarily written and recorded by founding member Josh Homme and former Kyuss drummer Alfredo Hernández, and features a riff-oriented songwriting style that Homme subsequently dubbed "robot rock". Regarding this aesthetic, Homme stated, "I just wanted to start a band that within three seconds of listening, people knew what band it was." The album was re-released on March 4, 2011 in Australia through Liberator Music and March 7, 2011 in the UK through Domino Records. The US release occurred on May 17 and is available as a joint release through Homme's own label, Rekords Rekords with distribution from Ipecac Recordings. The release includes relevant b-sides embedded within the track listing, and was accompanied by a tour in support of the album. ==Song information== ''Avon'' is a re-recording from the Desert Sessions' ''Volume 3: Set Coordinates for the White Dwarf!!!''. It is the first of seven Desert Sessions songs to be re-recorded by Queens of the Stone Age. The song has been a staple of the majority of live sets since the album's release and was still occasionally played by the band on the Era Vulgaris tour. ''If Only'' is a re-recording of "If Only Everything", which Queens of the Stone Age originally recorded on the ''Kyuss / Queens of the Stone Age'' split CD. It is the sole song from the album which was released as a promotional single. ''Mexicola'' is a fan favorite and frequently performed in live settings. In 2007, it was released as a downloadable single on iTunes for people who had bought tickets for Queens of the Stone Age concerts through Ticketmaster. ''Hispanic Impressions'' is an instrumental track. The song is jerky and unfluent, with abrupt halts and starts. ''You Can't Quit Me Baby'' is considered to be a fan favorite, having won a poll conducted on the official Rekords Rekords message board. The song is still played infrequently live by the band today as part of the Era Vulgaris tour, often lasting longer than the album version due to extended jams. To date the song has made two appearances on the soundtracks for movies, namely the 2003 horror film ''Wrong Turn'' (alongside ''If Only'') and the 2002 action ''Highway'' (alongside many bands similar to Queens of the Stone Age, including multiple tracks from the Desert Sessions). ''Give the Mule What He Wants'' is a re-recording of an early recording session known as "The Gamma Ray Sessions." The song was not released until it was recorded for this album. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Queens of the Stone Age (album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
