Despite how compressed the advance stuff sounds, I like how Mark Ronson's production has separated the bass from the guitar for the first time since Oliveri's tenure. I know that even then, much of the bass was handled by Homme, and I've felt for a while that bass was his weak point as a player. Sky Valley is my favorite Kyuss album because Scott Reeder's slippery hippie-metalhead basslines are a counterpoint to Homme's more monolithic style. Something about the bass tone Homme prefers makes his basslines muddy, and his intonation on bass seems to lack good attacks or accents. Hearing Shoes play punchy, staccato lines in syncopation against the guitars and vocal melody during the verses in The Evil Has Landed makes me grin, because it opens up a new dimension to the QOTSA sound.
