\"Kyuss<\/div>\n

Deux ans apr\u00e8s la sortie de Blues for the Red Sun, que beaucoup consid\u00e8rent comme le meilleur album de stoner de tous les temps, Kyuss \u00e9tait attendu au tournant avec ce 3\u00e8me effort studio. Entich\u00e9 d’un nouveau bassiste en la personne de Scott Reeder, le groupe allait d\u00e9montrer avec Sky Valley toute sa ma\u00eetrise d’un genre musical qui n’en \u00e9tait encore qu’\u00e0 ses balbutiements.
\nD\u00e8s les premi\u00e8res notes de ‘Gardenia’, on comprend que Sky Valley est un disque \u00e0 part.
\nCette impression se confirme \u00e0 mesure que les titres d\u00e9filent et que nous sommes submerg\u00e9s par les \u00e9motions que les 4 musiciens font passer \u00e0 travers leur musique. Pris \u00e0 froid par l’inqui\u00e9tant ‘Asteroid’, instrumental qui ne semble jamais vouloir s’arr\u00eater, l’auditeur est ensuite anim\u00e9 d’une irr\u00e9pressible envie de headbanger sur l’entra\u00eenant ‘Supa Scoopa and Mighty scoop’. Dans le m\u00eame registre, on retiendra \u00e9galement l’improbable encha\u00eenement de l’hallucinant ‘Space Cadet’ (et de sa ligne de basse exceptionnelle), du groovy ‘Demon Cleaner’ et du rageur ‘Odyssey’.
\nQue dire de plus sur Sky Valley : la voix de Garcia est captivante de bout en bout, tout comme les riffs concoct\u00e9s par Josh Homme. Quant \u00e0 la section rythmique, on ne peut que se d\u00e9lecter du changement profitable de bassiste et des frappes incroyables de pr\u00e9cision de sieur Brant Bjork. Bref, il est inutile de continuer tant les superlatifs manquent pour d\u00e9crire ces 11 titres exceptionnels, largement en avance sur leur \u00e9poque. Et c’est sans doute d’ailleurs l\u00e0 qu’il faut chercher les raisons du manque de succ\u00e8s de Kyuss (lorsque le groupe \u00e9tait encore en activit\u00e9) aupr\u00e8s du public qui n’avait pas encore conscience de la port\u00e9e d’un titre comme l’\u00e9l\u00e9phantesque ‘Whitewater’ et de toute la nouvelle sc\u00e8ne qu’il allait enfanter.
\nEn conclusion, si vous ne devez poss\u00e9der qu’un album de stoner, jetez vous les yeux ferm\u00e9s sur cette v\u00e9ritable bible qu’est Sky Valley. Le chef d’\u0153uvre de Kyuss n’est peut-\u00eatre pas l’album que l’on croit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
