Song of the Week: 50 Million Year Trip - Kyuss

Everything you need to know about this song can be seen in the title above. Constantly evolving its rhythms and melodies, its almost surreal how well the band blends these different sounds and tones . Starting with a hyped up guitar line, and speedy vivacious drums, the song flows easily into a groove that has more fuzz than a old wool blanket. The real beauty of these songs are there seamless transitions into these "trip" moods. Going from aggressive to slow and grooving to calm and atmospheric, you feel like the song must be an odyssey in length, but it's pretty concise at about five minutes. A masterpiece of a song, listen Here. (A side note, I love the music video)
