Desert Storm's sixth full-length release is an enjoyable yet inconsistent piece of stoner rock.

Starts off pretty good with the first track but the harsh vocals on this are kinda terrible and ruin some of the songs

The vocals are definitely the weak point on this album, they sound more hardcore than hard rock or stoner to me, but I find the instrumentation pretty decent. Unfortunately the consistency isn't there, I think there's some really good quality tracks, my stand-outs being "Cheyne Stoking" and "Salt Of The Earth", but there's also quite a few mediocre one's too.

Overall I find it a pretty solid release, in a year where I've found stoner to be amongst the most disappointed categories this is probably one of the better ones I've heard.
