And like touring partners, Queens of the Stone Age's various exploits it never comes off as macho. It kicks hard with finesse and subtlety on display. 'Himalayan' is loud, raucous, massive amounts of fun an it has style, swagger and teeth. Ambitiously named after one of the largest mountain ranges on the planet, the album was produced by Nick Maulay.LP - Heavyweight Double set in Gatefold sleeve.
