Details: Amazon.ca If only for "One Inch Man", ...And The Circus Leaves Town turns out to be one of the pinnacles of so-called "stoner" rock – totally indispensable therefore. Since the first album, Wretch, the Californians of Kyuss have gained in maturity, in particular as the line-up changes successively (ex-The Obsessed Scott Reeder tumbles on bass on the previous Welcome To Sky Valley; Brant Bjork plays the drums here) as if in contact with a producer of the caliber of Chris Goss.

' NME (7/15/95, p.46) - 8 (out of 10) '...
