On this one Josh Homme and his sandy cohorts combined the shroomy looseness of Volume 1 & 2 and Volume 3 & 4 with the rougher punk elements of Volume 5 & 6, on which Nick Oliveri's Dwarves buddy Blag Dahlia (whom Homme would later beat the shit out of in a bar after he'd accused Queens Of The Stone Age of selling out) raised as much hell as he possibly could. I actually prefer Volume 5 & 6 to this one but it came out in 1999 so it's a no no on this list
This one is a teeny tiny bit better than Volume 9 & 10 (2003) which had pretty much the same personell as the previous installments (Josh Homme, Dave Catching, Chris Goss, Dean Ween, Alain Johannes) with P.J. Harvey, Twiggy Ramirez and then brand new QOTSA drummer Joey Castillo added to the mix. Basically picture QOTSA's Songs For The Deaf through a thick haze of pot smoke, sleep deprivation and two cases of tequila and Volume 9 & 10 what you get.
I have no idea why I'm rambling about 9 & 10 when I'm supposed to be talking about 7 & 8. But there you go. Alright? Exactly.
Actually come to think of it, picture QOTSA's Rated R through a thick haze of pot smoke, sleep deprivation and two cases of tequila and Volume 7 & 8 what you get. Yeah.
Nice save, Dave. Thanks, Dave.

Well, first Homme album in the list. Will it be more?
By the way, that Homme fellow seems to be a little too violent. If you go to a QOTSA show, you'd better not throw shit to him.
PS: You write "tequiula". Shouldn't it be "tequila"? And yes, you have to expect something very good or very horrible if you mix tequila and pot. Trust me on that one.
Tequila it is indeed.
