You'd think this would be right up my alley, but I just can't force myself to like these guys. It's what might be a perfect marriage of some of my favorite bands-- the rawness of early QOTSA, the catchiness of Priestess and Torche, and the tinge of psychedelia undoubtedly owed to Baroness and Kylesa... but it feels like it was manufactured exactly to meet those facets of an emergent hipster metal scene. Meta, right? You can't outhipster me, Relapse!

I mean it's fun, but completely forgettable.

With the exception of QOTSA I haven't heard of any of the bands you mentioned, although I did notice that Baroness is on the same label. I'm haven't really listened to all that much metal, so maybe that has something to do with it, but Red Fang just clicks with me for some reason.
