"Prior to the formation of Queens of the Stone Age, bassist/singer Nick Oliveri recorded some originals with ex-Kyuss bandmates Josh Homme (guitar) and Brant Bjork (drums), plus Karma to Burn's Rob (drums) and others. But once recording was completed, Oliveri decided to shelve the tapes; it wasn't until several years later (well after Queens of the Stone Age began to establish themselves) that the bassist decided to release the songs on a friend's indie label, Southern Lord Records. Going by the name Mondo Generator, ten tracks were compiled for the 2000 release Cocaine Rodeo. The majority of the songs are much more-raw and hardcore/punk-based than Oliveri's output with QOTSA, as evidenced by such tracks as 'Shawnette,' 'Uncle Tommy,' 'Unless I Can Kill,' and 'I Want You to Die.' Longtime QOTSA fans will probably be familiar with a pair of tracks - the over-11-minute 'Simple Exploding Man' and '13th Floor' - which have both been covered by Oliveri's main band in concert (the latter composition was re-recorded as 'Tension Head' on the 2000 release R)." -Greg Prato, AllMusic.com, 4/5 stars
