Queens of the Stone Age

[Alf™]

Discuss Queens of the Stone Age and their latest record, 'Era Vulgaris'.

[AlienEater]

I'm not excited tbh. I don't really like anything they did after Rated R.

[ATM]

Yes! I am really excited, downloading the track now.
The album comes out in July right?

[Little Man being Erased]

June 12 dude.

Can't wait for this. Lullabies was a real grower. It's probably my second favourite Queens album now.

[beso negro]

I'm not excited tbh. I don't really like anything they did after Rated R.

I think you lie tbh

[Little Man being Erased]

That song is ****ing great.

[sgrevs]

ooh how exciting. cant wait to hear this.

edit: wow wow i like a lot.

[Jacaranda]

I'm not going to download it

I wanna wait for the leak

[AlienEater]

I think you lie tbh

why

[niobium]

I'm not going to download it

I wanna wait for the leak

Same. I'll just listen to their first three over and over to build myself up.

[Alf™]

I'm not going to download it

I wanna wait for the leak

Same. I'll just listen to their first three over and over to build myself up.

Good luck with waiting for the "leak", because this song won't be on it, as I stated in the first post. :)

[niobium]

I don't download leaks anyway.

I guess I can get this song, I didn't know it wasn't on the new one.

[Kage]

Awesome, thanks for posting this.

[niobium]

This song is really dumb.

[Kage]

haha, I was thinking the same thing.

[Alf™]

At first I thought it was nothing special, but it has grown on me. I like the sound of this, and obviously it wasn't going to be amazing, if it was cut from the album. Great for Queen's to give us a taste of what is to come, though.

I can't wait to hear the song featuring Mark Lanegan, on Era Vulgaris.

[niobium]

Mark makes anything QOTSA writes better, instantly. Too bad it's only one track.

[Alf™]

I'm sure he had some sway in the other songs, which is great.

Good to see the album is only going to be 11 songs, something that hasn't been done since Rated R.

[niobium]

I was thinking about that too. There were some terrible short little songs on Songs for the Deaf, that could have easily been taken out.

[Bob Rock]

Hi guys, Bob Rock here

I love this band.

[Kage]

I was thinking about that too. There were some terrible short little songs on Songs for the Deaf, that could have easily been taken out.

Agreed. That's the worst part about the album. If it wasn't for that it might have been my favorite QOTSA album.

[Bob Rock]

Hi guys, Bob Rock here

I agree, The whole album is fantastic

[sgrevs]

you suck BR.

Songs for the Deaf is definitely my favourite QOTSA album, and I can't see what everyone says is so good about Rated R. I prefer Lullabie To Paralyze tbqh.

[Little Man being Erased]

Rated R raped your mother. That's what's so good about it.

[StaticSynth]

So I downloaded Desert Sessions vol. 5 & 6. Not too sure what to expect. What's the good word?

[sgrevs]

Rated R raped your mother. That's what's so good about it.

Don't get me wrong, I'd still rate the album about a 3.5-4/5, but to me it's just not as strong as SftD or LtP. I haven't heard the first album.

[Alf™]

So I downloaded Desert Sessions vol. 5 & 6. Not too sure what to expect. What's the good word?

I think that is the gem of the Desert Session recordings. All the others are also awesome though, don't get me wrong. But you just can't go wrong, when you have Millionaire, I'm Dead, A#1, Like a Drug and Rickshaw, along with all the others.

[AlienEater]

1 and 2 are the best desert sessions

[beso negro]

Hi guys, beso negro here

pos rep for the links Alf. I will listen after math class

[Alfyy]

So what did you think of it, beso negro?

[Alfyy]

Everyone head on over to http://www.qotsa.com and check out the new song, 3's and 7's. First impression is that it sounds amazing. Word is that it will only be streamed for 24 hours, so get there quick.

[niobium]

Sounds like a plan. Why did you get banned?

[sgrevs]

It's an awesome song, expectations for the album have been upped.

[ATM]

I love the chorus. They always have the best choruses.

[niobium]

It's a lot better than the Trent Reznor collaboration, I'll tell you that much. I'll have to listen to it a lot more, it didn't really sink in. QOTSA songs are typically songs I can rediscover and whatnot, find things I missed the first 20 times.

[Alfyy]

Yes, that's right. I remember digging certain stages of Lullabies straight up, and then a few weeks later getting in to the rest of it.

I'm liking 3's and 7's having like three solos :).

I got banned for spamming the drum forum report thread niobium. Unbanned tomorrow or something, dw.

pwn3d

[AlienEater]

lol

3's and 7's is actually quite good

[italic zero]

it sounds like pinback

well not really, but a little bit

[Alf™]

bluntboy, what happened with the links?

Sick Sick Sick has been leaked everyone. This sounds like the Millionaire/angry song of this album. Digging it.

[Luxor]

This new song sucks.

[Alf™]

Care to explain why you don't like it? What were you expecting for this song?

[Tojes]

Yeah, QotSA is mildly awesome. I like Songs for the Deaf quite a lot, so I bought it. It was a good purchase, yeh.

[Neoteric]

SFTD is a good purchase yeahyeahyeah.

New album is going to rule.

[Dead Star]

any linkz to the new songs people?

[seamantis]

Dont like the new song. Then again i didnt like no one knows but theyve got some Ba stuff on that album :)

[Alf™]

any linkz to the new songs people?

Check your rep ;).

[Boilermaker]

Alf, can I have the link too please??

[Alf™]

kdun

Anyone else want them?

[Little Man being Erased]

Yeah, I'll have a look.

[Alf™]

I have given out too much rep, but send the links tomorrow.

[Alf™]

Bump.

Most of the album can be heard, in either studio, live or acoustic live form. I have to say the end product of Era Vulgaris is looking impressive.

[sgrevs]

When is release date? This is def one of my most looking forward to of the year.

[niobium]

Hey guys QOTSA are going to be in both Guitar Hero III and Rock Band

http://kotaku.com/gaming/give-the-mule-what-he-wants/queens-to-feature-in-ghiii-rock-band-257661.php

[Alf™]

Release date for Australia, I believe, is the 9th of June. 12th of June for the majority of the world though.

We also have new Brant Bjork and the Bros, UNKLE (featuring Josh Homme) and Goon Moon albums coming out in the next month.

[Clunge]

Sick Sick Sick doesn't do much for me atm.

It might grow though.

[vemz]

Just heard Sick Sick Sick and I like it a lot.

[SoulSeekerz]

Great band, great song!

[niobium]

I had no clue that Brant Bjork had a new one, wasn't quite sure UNKLE's was going to be this soon. I will be looking into all four, thanks.

[Neoteric]

Sick, Sick, Sick is more of a grower I feel. I didn't like it on first listen but now I love it. 3's and 7's is such a good choice for a single as well.

I've decided to wait on the CD being released since it's really close to my brithday and I've never downloaded a QOTSA leak.

[Kage]

Could someone hit me up with some of these new songs?

[bluntboy]

For the Canadian fans. They just posted this on their website:
Listening Parties, eh? Get oot!

Are you Canadian? Do you want to hear Era Vulgaris in its entirety?

[superpeer]

new album eh?

[class]

i hate qotsa -_-

[Weezer]

Has this album leaked yet...

[Boilermaker]

New song is just OK. I haven't ever been that big of a fan though.

[Alf™]

New album hasn't leaked yet. A song here or there have been recorded from radio's, but nothing concrete. I have heard Sick, Sick, Sick, 3's and 7's, I'm Designer and Misfit Love. Most of the new songs have been played at there recent live gigs as well.

Anyone want any of these songs, rep me and say so, instead of spamming up the thread with useless chat.

[Alf™]

The Sick Sick Sick video has been released. See it here:

[Neoteric]

I saw it today on MTV2, the band looks cool.

[Alf™]

I got to say I don't really like the new clip. Oh well, who cares right.

[Neoteric]

The footage of the band playing is cool but everything else is a bit lame.

[ATM]

Can't wait for the tour.

[Phototropic]

the new video and song is awful in my opinion, what happened to them, it has no hooks

they've been going downhill since LTP...

but whatever, ST, rated R and SFTD are my babies :)

Ps:

I've heard various leaks, they all suck

[Alf™]

What songs have you heard?

I hate all these "anything after SFTD sucks" people. Bands change and evolve, the sound isn't going to stay the same. Lullabies was an awesome album.

[Little Man being Erased]

Lullabies to Paralyze > Songs for the Deaf

[Kage]

I agree.

[Phototropic]

What songs have you heard?

I hate all these "anything after SFTD sucks" people. Bands change and evolve, the sound isn't going to stay the same. Lullabies was an awesome album.

They changed and evolved when they recorded rated R, then again on SFTD, then they just burnt out on lullabies

Sick sick sick, 3s and 7s, other various clips, its got no passion

cos its got no Nick ;)

same as the live DVD, no nick, no fun

Lullabies to Paralyze > Songs for the Deaf

Nah :)

[Weezer]

I agree.

Me too.

[Alf™]

Nah :)

I get it now; you're one of the Nick fan boys. Normally people say bad things because they think Queens did evolve between SFTD and Lullabies, but I have never heard anyone say they didn't evolve and just burnt out.

Sick Sick Sick is so typical of Queens, it's hard and fast and a great riff. I thought 3's and 7's would please some of the Lullabies haters actually, but not so in this case.

The new bass player Michael actually has the same kind of aura as Nick, you should check him out.

The live DVD just plain rocks though, I have to disagree wholeheartedly with you there. That was a tight set, when they were in a tight tour.

[AlienEater]

The live album/dvd was the best thing they did since Rated R

[Alf™]

The album has leaked!

All I can say is wow. Turnin' on the Screw is such a sexy opener.

[ATM]

Oooh I have to track down a copy.

[niobium]

Over the Years and Through the Woods is a great live album
Over the Years and Through the Woods is a terrible DVD

[Alf™]

I think the opposite. The live album cut out too many of my favourite songs. The DVD was just perfect.

[Phototropic]

the new album sucks, i have it downloaded, the first song is excellent, but by the 4th song it rapidly gets bland

they butchered wanna make it wit chu, it sounds so thin and pathetic compared to the des sesh version

sorry fan boys :)

[ATM]

Argh, I hate to hear all this negative stuff about the album. What's so bad about it?

[Phototropic]

Argh, I hate to hear all this negative stuff about the album. What's so bad about it?

im not deliberately being awkward, i just dont think its very good, there is nothing that makes you go :eek: they did it again, nothing stands out and makes you think how cool it is, nothing to rewind and listen back!

i'm sure everyone else will like it, i'm a tosser :chug:

[Alf™]

You were going to dislike the album, whether it was amazing or horrible though.

ArrestThisMan, I wouldn't listen to other peoples views; I'd make my own decision once I'd heard it.

[Phototropic]

You were going to dislike the album, whether it was amazing or horrible though.

I'm not thick, if it was high quality music i'd like it, so you can't say i'd hate it whatever the quality

I like the first few tracks then it just bores me

[ATM]

I downloaded it, haven't listened yet though.

[Alf™]

I'm not thick, if it was high quality music i'd like it, so you can't say i'd hate it whatever the quality

I like the first few tracks then it just bores me

Personal opinion, I guess. I just find it strange, as I really dig this album.

[Iai]

I agree with that phototropic guy, except I think he's over-rating it. It's an absolutely awful album. It sounds dull and bored and boring. There's not one track on there I like.

[Weezer]

It's not bad. I definitely liked Lullabies more, though.

[Scuba_Steve]

I liked the new album alot, although I admit it took some time to grow (like 4 listens)


I'm Designer is a great song.

[Kage]

I wanted to love this album, but it was just nothing upon first listen. I hope it will grow on me.

[niobium]

It's not bad. I definitely liked Lullabies more, though.

These are bad words

[Alf™]

I wanted to love this album, but it was just nothing upon first listen. I hope it will grow on me.

You know the typical great Queens song takes more than one listen to begin to hit home.

I appreciate the songs more, I assume, because as they were leaked or whatnot, I got to listen to most of them one by one, over and over. Now when they are all put together, they all make sense and create an amazing album.

[Kyle]

Havn't heard it yet, but i'm probably not going to enjoy considering me and Phototropic seem to have similar taste in this sort of thing.

I'll listen eventually and make my own mind up though.

[Happymeal]

I just saw the video of "Sick, Sick, Sick" awhile ago and thought it was pretty weird.

[Zebra]

I thought the video was kind of strange aswell.

[Jacaranda]

heck ya July 28th QOTSA here at ma town. it'll be my 2nd time seeing them.

[Alf™]

There's a cool alternative Sick Sick Sick video hanging about, featuring Mark Lanegan's girl.

Edit: Here it is: http://youtube.com/watch?v=bIMz6lCM4sQ

[Clunge]

I nabbed EV this morning.

Currently on track three... and I'd give it 9/10 so far. Cracking stuff.

[Alf™]

What's your rating now, after you have listened to it all?

Only 3 more days till I can buy it, I am very excited. My 3's and 7's CD single and 2 X vinyl singles should come in the mail any day now too. They are some cool looking collectibles.

[Clunge]

8/10.

Some brilliant tracks but it loses its way a wee bit after 3's & 7's (I'm listening to the UK version with Running Joke and Era Vulgaris as two bonus tracks).

Top songs for me:

- Turnin' On The Screw
- Sick Sick Sick
- I'm Designer
- Misfit Love
- 3's & 7's
- Era Vulgaris

[Dead Star]

http://www.muchmusic.com/music/firstspin/queensofthestoneage/

Stream it online there, yay.

[Alf™]

2 days to go :D.

[PshSam]

eh, the album is pretty mediocre but worth a listen i supose

[Phototropic]

eh, the album is pretty mediocre but worth a listen i supose

obviously, how else would someone get an opinion of it? :p

not worth a 2nd listen though

[Weezer]

"Make it Wit Chu," is probably my favorite off of the album.

[niobium]

So, generally a bad/mediocre release?

I haven't listened to it yet, not a fan of leaks (save MTB and Battles)

[Clunge]

I think it's a great album, it's a bit muddy in placed but it has some really great moments.

All the songs build up really well, and Sick Sick Sick and 3's & 7's make great singles.

[Alf™]

So, generally a bad/mediocre release?

I haven't listened to it yet, not a fan of leaks (save MTB and Battles)

What is wrong with leaks? Only have to wait a few days (one more if you live in Australia :D) for the release.

Don't listen to the haters, they wouldn't be happy with anything that Queens released. They don't seem to realise the band has evolved and changed styles since Songs for the Deaf.

I think it's a great album, it's a bit muddy in placed but it has some really great moments.

All the songs build up really well, and Sick Sick Sick and 3's & 7's make great singles.

:D. Just wondering, which parts do you think are 'muddy'?

[Clunge]

There's a few too many long, sprawing, distorted sections with Josh's slurring vocals over the top and that bogs the album down a bit.

But they make up for that with some innovative riffs and twiddly bits.

And the drumming is very good on the whole.

[Kage]

On giving this thing another shot, I'm really digging it.

[Little Man being Erased]

I think the album is pretty good.

[niobium]

What is wrong with leaks? I'm getting a little better about it now, but I never seemed to like the fact that everyone ignores the release date. It just seemed really dishonest, like I could wait for the release date no problem.

Now I don't like them because of the subpar quality. For example, the new Pelican album. All the people who downloaded it four months before release date couldn't have possibly thought they were getting the highest quality release? Pelican even said that they should buy it, and the people who got the leaked version had a crappy one.

Don't listen to the haters, they wouldn't be happy with anything that Queens released. They don't seem to realise the band has evolved and changed styles since Songs for the Deaf.Thanks for that info. Sometimes I forget that, I was going to go into the first listen with less than favorable expectations.

[Alf™]

Got my copy of the album in my hands. The booklet inside is pretty funny. Can't wait for my vinyls to get here!

[Liebensaft]

I've never listened to this band outside of that big MTV single they had. I listened to Sick Sick Sick and thought it was pretty cool. Where's the best place to start in terms of albums? I figure I'll look into them soon.

[geheim]

sounds alright
but
eagles of death metal > queens of stone age

[perriwinkle]

thats not true at all

[Alf™]

I've never listened to this band outside of that big MTV single they had. I listened to Sick Sick Sick and thought it was pretty cool. Where's the best place to start in terms of albums? I figure I'll look into them soon.

Songs for the Deaf is probably the most public friendly, I'd say. Although all of the albums have 'pop' songs. I'd say start anyway but the first self titled, and you'd be fine.

[Little Man being Erased]

Rated R is their best.

[ATM]

Just get them all.

[Kage]

I love this new album actually. Playing it really loud it's easy to get into the groove. I love Homme's vocals.

[Alf™]

http://rita.nrk.no/community/hove07/

Go there right now and enjoy a superb Queens performance. Quick though.

[ATM]

Anyone catch them on Henry Rollins show?

[niobium]

no but i can thanks to myspleen and youtube

the new album has to be better live... maybe

[Alf™]

The new songs live are amazing. Look out for a live gig, because it's an awesome site.

[niobium]

well, queens of the stone age and rage against the machine are playing a show in my own state in august. tickets are like idk conversion rate, so $59. pricey, but it's a really good opportunity. i hope qotsa does a late night show or two.

also, goon moon - licker's last leg is pretty decent stuff

[Alf™]

I am enjoying the new Goon Moon album too. Also the new UNKLE effort is pretty rad.

Crazy live song from the Rollins show:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=h0XAZGEhsF8

[niobium]

everyone is beautiful and brilliant and sexy. especially the live bassist in the first minute, i was getting into him and his vocals. i like joey's style too, every live qotsa vid i've seen, he's stellar.

very good song. i almost wish it had stayed instrumental though.

[bluntboy]

More bulby goodness - http://blacktopguerillas.imeem.com/video/xu5gGiCv/bulby_ad/

[superpeer]

Meh, Era Vulgaris is disappointing.

[Kage]

**** you.

[niobium]

it is

i just don't feel it, and that was the whole point of the album

[Kage]

I feel it.

[ATM]

They didn't do a lot of the cool harmonies that they did on prior albums.

[Jawaharal]

Still undecided on Era. I like Screw, Sick, Misfit Love, Make It Wit Chu, 3 & 7's, Suture, River, and Running Joke. The rest suck

and can anyone give me a list of bands similar to Queens or bands fans would enjoy?

[Kage]

They didn't do a lot of the cool harmonies that they did on prior albums.

That's true.

More bulby goodness - http://blacktopguerillas.imeem.com/video/xu5gGiCv/bulby_ad/

Thanks for that, I'm loving all the Bulby related things.

Still undecided on Era. I like Screw, Sick, Misfit Love, Make It Wit Chu, 3 & 7's, Suture, River, and Running Joke. The rest suck

and can anyone give me a list of bands similar to Queens or bands fans would enjoy?

How many times have you listened to it? Like all the other Queens albums, different songs appeal to people at different times. At the moment I'm digging the harder songs of the album.

Search around on lastfm or similar sites, but I would recommend any one of the following:
Desert Sessions, for a free form version of the Queens
Brant Bjork, for some some laid back relaxed tunes
Kyuss, for the band with Josh in his teens
Fatso Jetson, for some weird funky music
Fu Manchu, for some hard straight out rock music
Hermano, for a fast, hard ride, featuring the singer from Kyuss
Mark Lanegan, personal favourite, for some Tom Waits styles songs
Millionaire, for some Queens riff music

etc. etc.

I didn't entirely get what you said, but Make It Wit Chu is a awesome song, which now gets its much deserved media and fan attention.

i wanna make it wit chu was also on over the years and through the woods. it was a very safe song. unless they changed it a little for era vulgaris

So you haven't listened to Era Vulgaris or Desert Sessions Volume 9+10? I think it is one of the best songs Homme has ever written or been involved in. Perfect.

i listened to about the first four songs of era, i've never listened to any of the desert sessions

I agree. Probably one of the sexiest songs ever.

So you have listened to the first four songs once, and don't feel them. Well of course you don't. You should know Queens better by now; you won't 'get' and 'like' every song on first listen. That is the beauty of the band.

i never said once

i'm not really up for going back on the album as of now. i know i will eventually, i have about 60 other albums in my folder i have to go through

It's not vary good. But good news is that they have recorded an EP, to be like a companion release for Era Vulgaris.

[Little Man being Erased]

what are you talking about that was great.

[Neoteric]

I'm annoyed at the fact that tickets for their Glasgow show sold out in an hour and I never got one. Doesn't matter though, Era Vulgaris wasn't that good anyway.

[YouGottaBeCrazy]

I don't even know what I'm doing here...

YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH!
