Preface: I'm a huge QOTSA fan and I love Kyuss and PJ Harvey.

Review: I never thought I'd hear myself say this, but this cd suffers from underproduction. The sound quality on some of tracks is just horrid. The two best songs on the CD are featured on the live DVD and CD in perfect form with a lot more energy. Don't get me wrong, I like this CD- it just wasn't what I was expecting and as such I didn't enjoy it as much as the live CD/DVD.

Cheers!

I don't know if I like this album as much as DS 7&8, but I felt compelled to review it after seeing young Chris's review.

Young Chris, you are right. You are absolutely correct.

You and your golden ears are the only ones who have "paid attention to the lineup of Desert Sessions albums at all". They get weird! They get all CRAZY! ZANY!

The bottom line is that this is like ALL of the other Desert Sessions recordings. Never to see the light of radio, just cool musically-minded folks trying some new stuff.

So it is musicians getting together and experimenting. So it has a harder edge, so what? It is still new and fresh and exciting.

Not weird.

Desert Sessions: Vol 9 & 10 (Rekords Rekords/Ipecac).......2005-10-31

If any of you had paid attention to the lineup of Desert Sessions albums at all, you would know that the music had gotten weirder and weirder by the release. Those who just wanted music wouldn't really call the last one too accessible. But this volume is accessible. I'll show you how.

1. Dead In Love I have a picture that they were playing somewhere in skelaton shirt and pants, until at the end they all play as actual skelatons and at the end of the video, it says Desert Sessions 1988-2003. THe music is all about the enoyment of a sadistic relationship that Jack and Sally couldn't even touch. The best I have ever heard so far on the album.

2. I Wanna Make It Witchu: I often found this little number cheesy, if not a sunny beginning. I say that this song seems a lot more accessible than Mark Lanegan's take on romantically strange songs on Desert Sessions 7&8 with "Covousier". I may eventually play it, but it ends up getting skipped by me.

3. Covered In Punks Blood: A Fight Club with Guitars. You getting dragged across a road that is and isn't finished by a trans-am. That is all you need to know.

4. There Will Never Be A Better Time: My 3rd favorite song. This one has a certain frantic feel of the song as PJ Harvey takes place with her guitar and ghostly voice.

5. Crawl Home: The first single off of the album, which I would play sometimes. The video I saw for it was good but didn't really coincide with the song too much, but nonetheless, the song is a bit like it or not. Once you buy the CD you'll be able to tell which direction to go. But I say, I recommend it to PJ Harvey fans.

6. I'm Here For Your Daughter: At first, I was so confused because that song that got off to a wonderful start, especially with the guitars, was so friggin' short. But quantity aside, this is my personal favorite and the out-of-whck song that you'd love, too. (If I was allowed to, I would have given you the entire song easily, but I rather you figure it for yourself. It never killed me.) Can you believe this song was performed only twice live?

7. Powdered Wig Machine: Imagine you were in England the days of Mozart, wearing those powdered wigs waltzing to this song. Yep, same way. Kind of weird but very good to listen to after a while.

8. In My Head...Or Something: The song that most people at the Lullabies To Paralyze page were complaining about. After having listened to both versions, I say that this is a good song, but LOP's version is a lot better. I even mouthed the words on LOP to this song. But nonetheless, this song is a good listen.

9. Holey Dime: Very dark lyrics from this one. The personal lyric that kind of affected me a bit was "sent to He11 on paper wings/They're all laughing/...A stitch in time and it's your turn to unravel." I'd be too lazy to say this song is about personal fascination with sadism. Alain Johannes outdid himself on this song.

10. A Girl Like Me: Polly Jean Harvey back to give us dark view and imagination on relationships. The song was too much on two listens but after having the CD for almost over a year, I evjoyed it.

11. Creosote: The fascination with Jingle-Jangle slide guitars is what got me to accept the beauty in blues music. Listen to this, and the jam will be a wonderful experience. You will feel as if you were actually watching the guitarist play the music.

12. Subcutaneous Phat: Josh's signature guitar slide comes in to hand you a funk-rock extravaganza from the makers of Desert Sessions.

13. Bring It Back Gentle: I wasn't into this song until yesterday. It's OK. The guitar jamming sesion in the middle made it worth my while.

14. Shephard's Pie: My 2nd personal favorite experience on the record with guitars and people cutting in to further add the cartoony exterior of animals coming in line to be served some shephard's pie. After that, are just commercials recommending you Rekords Rekords Records.

So there you have it. This CD seems a litle more accessible only because this CD has more music than spoken word interludes that filled the last album. Nonetheless, after you buy this, I suggest buying Vol. 7&8. And when you are done with that, I recommend checking out the rest of the Desert Sessions catalog to hear how it all started.

Queens, PJ, Ween, et al............2005-10-27

This album is amazing. I was in some dive of a record shop and the owner saw me pawing through Queens (my copies had been stolen) and turned me onto this album. I was reluctant to buy it but he swore it was a must have (unliike the other deserts sessions apparently). I was never into PJ Harvey or Ween for that matter but they rock! PJ especially. This is a little corner of flip side heaven...except for the 'In my head' which is a-side and a hit but it sounds like the rest of this surprise great album. Take the plunge!

Queen Polly Jean, one for the Stone age!.......2005-09-14

PJ Harvey meeting with the QSA really works well. I find the Desert really brings out the best in the gloom & doom world. Polly should definitely spend more time in the desert. After all, Jesus did some of his best work there!
