Queens of the Stone Age

[priest17]

Don't really understand what you were all moaning about, I loved it.

[Odessa]

Had a listen at midnight, had pretty low expectations actually after seeing a couple of people on here slate it. First impressions are that it's very good but not on the level of ...Like Clockwork, which is fine as that's an incredibly high bar. Really liked Feet Don't Fail Me and the two songs that were already out are both great, looking forward to another listen later.

I find it hard to believe that any QOTSA fans would dislike this album.

Admittedly it doesn't blow yours socks off, but it's a very solid album with some very good tracks on there that will only boost their setlists for the live shows. 

[Hugh Jass]

It's good, not a par with their best work but nowhere near their worst:

Like Clockwork

Songs For The Deaf

R

Villains

Lullabies to Paralyse

QOTSA

Era Vulgaris

[The Nal]

Villains better than Lullabies?! 

Leicester winning the league, Trump, Brexit and now this.

The world has gone mad.

Lullabies over S/T is the madness here.

Id go with this but put Vulgaris at the bottom and take villains out all together until I've listened a few more times. 

[Wooderson]

My copy of Vulgaris has "Fun Machine" in it. It ain't their worst record.

[dentalplan]

Mine's pretty similar to that as well, but with Like Clockwork promoted to third and I need a bit more time with Villains also.

If there were prizes handed out for best title "Fun Machine..." would be right up there.

Lyrically, Vulgaris makes mincemeat of Villains (which I think is a lumpen mess at times).

Well mine doesn't so I don't know where that leaves us on that front ahah.

[Tommy101]

I think Make It wit Chu is one of their best songs too. One of my favourites of all times as it goes.

Should be on stage at Leeds as we speak...

[Wooderson]

Anyone given it a spin on wax yet? Im keen to here Shoes' b-lines on the decent speakers. His work on "Hideaway" for example is a career highlight for the kid.

It's not even near their worst album in my opinion. I find it hard to order them because I usually listen to one appropriate to my current mood, and being so different from one another. I think Like Clockwork is always at the top and self titled at the bottom. 

To me the self titled album is still more Kyuss than QotSA.

Quit Me Baby is on S/T. Their best song.

Shocked by the disliking of Lullabies on here. 

The run of; "Everybody Knows That You're Insane, Tangled Up In Plaid, Burn The Witch, In My Head, Little Sister and I Never Came" is one superb!

Missed "Lullaby" mate. And the 2nd half of the record is even better than the first.

Queens don't make bad records. The Last Great Band.

Couldn't agree more. Absolute tunes.
