Volumes 5 & 6 is the third compilation of Josh Homme's project The Desert Sessions. Volume 5: Poetry for the Masses (SeaShedShitheadByTheSheSore) and Volume 6: Black Anvil Ego were released separately on vinyl, and then compiled on CD with an instrumental version of "Like a Drug" as a bonus track. Queens of the Stone Age later performed "You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, But I Feel Like a Millionaire" on their Songs for the Deaf album, and "Rickshaw" has often been included in their live set. "Like a Drug" has been re-recorded and features on certain special editions of Lullabies to Paralyze . "I'm Dead" was recorded by Kyuss/Queens of the Stone Age bassist Nick Oliveri in an acoustic arrangement and retitled "Day I Die" for the Mondo Generator album A Drug Problem That Never Existed . This pair of sessions featured a wider range of musicians than previous releases, including Dwarves singer Blag Dahlia.
