Reissue
An reissue for the self-titled album was released in 2011, shortly after Rated X/Rated R Deluxe was released. The reissue features 3 bonus tracks: The Bronze, that formerly was released on the Beaver/QOTSA split EP and 2004's Stone Age Complications; These Aren't the Droids You're Looking For, also released on the Beaver/QOTSA split; and Spiders and Vinegaroons, initially released on the Kyuss/QOTSA split EP. Along the release of the reissue a tour was made, in which the setlists primarily included self-titled tracks and rarities. A 7'' LP for How to Handle a Rope (A Lesson in the Lariat) was also released along the reissue.

Tracklist

 * Nick Oliveri appears on a voicemail at the end of I Was a Teenage Hand Model. It marks his first appearance at QOTSA, since he wasn't on the lineup for the recording of the album. He did, however, join the band for the touring of the album.
