Members OT? Posted June 16, 2007 Members Share Posted June 16, 2007 I was going to buy it the other day, but then remembered how dissapointing the previous album was and decided not to.I really like Queens Of The Stoneage, I just don't like what they've become in recent times and albums.

Members johnrambo Posted June 16, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 16, 2007 lullabies had a few good songs but compared to the first 3 was a bit of a letdown IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sainty Posted June 16, 2007 Members Share Posted June 16, 2007 It seems like more of the same, think that's the general consensus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RyanDC Posted June 16, 2007 Members Share Posted June 16, 2007 I got it at virgin megastore for 10 bucks. It's not bad but not incredible. A bit of a letdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members johnrambo Posted June 16, 2007 Author Members Share Posted June 16, 2007 What would their best album be? for me it's a toss up between rated r and songs for the deaf. they are both must have albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members murch33 Posted June 16, 2007 Members Share Posted June 16, 2007 The last two albums get a big "meh" from me. Songs for the Deaf is fantastic, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bob Doom Posted June 16, 2007 Members Share Posted June 16, 2007 Songs For The Deaf is their masterpiece without a doubt. I have a soft spot for Rated R as well. If I had to put Era Vulgaris with one of their previous albums, it'd be Rated R for the odd-ball feel of it. This album is more about songs instead of riffs (the first three) or self-indulgence (Lullabies). It's a very "Yeah, alright" toe-tapper CD in spots and then very chill in others. Standouts for me: Turning On The Screw - I like everything about it. Into The Hollow - The chorus has been stuck in my head for days. River In The Road - kinda took me by surprise... sounds more Troy-based. Overall, I back it as an album. After the first spin was done, I wanted to hear it again. I've listened to it several times now and I'm still not sick of any songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Facing Failure Posted June 16, 2007 Members Share Posted June 16, 2007 This album reminds me a lot of rated r, in terms of it's a bit more mellow and a lot more left of center. I think the whole album with the exception of like 2 or 3 songs is great. I'm designer is one of the worst tracks...but even it's not too bad. It's definitely a different album for them but it's great, I think. It holds up just fine with their greats like rated r and songs for the deaf.

Members jussi_k Posted June 16, 2007 Members Share Posted June 16, 2007 very boring and disappointing right now. I hope it will get a bit better with more listening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members capnbringdown Posted June 16, 2007 Members Share Posted June 16, 2007 I haven't got around to buying a copy, yet. I only have a 56k modem, too. I read a couple of reviews, and it sounds good in principle, unless, of course, the songs suck. Some of their earlier songs have a way of meandering, and I really liked Rated R. Surprised that nobody's mentioned their self-titled album either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Seth Carmody Posted June 17, 2007 Members Share Posted June 17, 2007 I've only heard the lead single (Sick Sick Sick). Everything after SFTD has sounded anti-melodic to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Roadstar II Posted June 17, 2007 Members Share Posted June 17, 2007 I picked the new album up a few days ago. I think it's okay, nothing amazing though. "3's and 7's" is a bad-ass track--has probably one of the best riffs they've ever released on record. Overall though, the album really sounds like a bunch of new guys and then Josh Homme. "Sick, Sick, Sick" is a terrible song, sounds way too much like a Foo Fighters song. I was hoping they would release something close to their self-titled album (my favorite by them) but so much for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members 6StrngStrangler Posted June 17, 2007 Members Share Posted June 17, 2007 they kinda lost my intrest when Nic was kicked out. I have a copy of it, and I believe their best work is way behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members newstrat60 Posted June 24, 2007 Members Share Posted June 24, 2007 it's a grower and has to be listened as a whole album, you top of the tops sissies IMO its a great rawk album, maybe one of my favorites of them so far, never boring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members digital Posted June 24, 2007 Members Share Posted June 24, 2007 dissappointing like the previous album... what really starts to annoy me is that high pitch singing josh homme constantly uses... grow a set of balls, please!... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thenakedarab Posted June 24, 2007 Members Share Posted June 24, 2007 I'm really digging it so far. I love all of them for different reasons except LTP which I could never really get into. This one is definitely more in the R vein though. I've listened to it quite a few times and haven't gotton sick of it yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr.Picklebottom Posted June 24, 2007 Members Share Posted June 24, 2007 i like it a lot. not my favorite but expecting a band to release the same album over and over again is dumb.most of the songs i wasnt into right away are quickly growing on me like a pickle in the hot summer sun.songs for the deaf is one of my favorite albums of all times, all genres- for realsies- bigtime.
