smooth sailing is about as suave as josh has ever sounded

Of course it's a country tune. Slide guitar, the step up/step down melody (which is a staple of square dancing), pseudo-romantic lyrics. Heyo

Here's my review, for what it's worth. First, people seem to expect the world of the Queens. I've heard the word "monolithic" used when describing SFTD. I don't get that. It's their best album, for sure, arguably the best hard-rock album of the decade. But it is what it is, a collection of good to great songs, with little relation to one another. The songs that stand out show the Queens' pop sensibilities. The others are just (a) good, hard, rockers; or (b) a vehicle to play around with some new concept, be it an instrument or song structure. Sound like Rated R? Or rather, like every other Queens album? In either case, with the correct pop sensibilities applied, you get a nice little tune; if not, you get something that's built on elsewhere, usually in a subsequent release, or is utter crap, which is fine. What band hasn't recorded utter crap? I'd describe every one of their albums that way, and this one is no exception.

Like Clockwork, like it's predecessors, is a collection of good to great songs, with some filler. What makes is a very good album is what made its predecessors good, or great, as the case may be. The hooks worm their way into your head, either because the melody is so tight (I Sat By The Ocean), or the way it's delivered feels so fresh (Keep Your Eyes Peeled).

I'd give it a 4/5. The best songs are I Sat By The Ocean and If I Had A Tail. Both would stand out on any Queens album and I'll probably listen to them for years to come. The most inventive tracks are Keep Your Eyes Peeled and Kalopsia, totally new direction for the band on both (not to say Ocean isn't equally as inventive; as I've said elsewhere, it's a country tune). The "good, hard, rockers" on this one are My God Is The Sun and I Appear Missing, which are good, but not great, the latter nearly - but not quite - on par with the first two songs I mentioned.

The rest - and there are only 4 - are clearly throwaways. Pretty unmemorable, like so many before them.

But this is a very very satisfying album, just for those six.

Album Rating: 4.5

the only real similarity is in the rhythm of the guitars, the chords and melody and general sound are completely different

such an improvement over era

Album Rating: 5.0

It is the most mature and eclectic of all albums, Despite having the Rated R always in my heart, was the album made ​​me turn que unconditional fan of QOTSA., All albums are great (each has its place), but this was produced by a man now aged 40 and with a lot of road made​​, is imbecility, give more quote to an album, any rock band that is today, Homme is a TRUE GENIUS and Those around him, is the best the current rock scene there are already better than Radiohead.

The letters of QOTSA are too smart, the metaphors are always present, and the people not understand this. They build the way the song is fantastic, They are unpredictable, changes have sometimes may seem ridiculous, but after a few auditions Began for us to perceive the. Que the details make it special and unique. And this album has plenty of that too, listen very carefully eg 6th Kolápsia song is fantastic.

Realizing is definitely the quality of this album to the most septic listen at least 5 times and loudly. None of QOTSA album is fast consumption, and that's what has to definitely perform, QOTSA are not The Black Keys, Jack White, if these are in the stratosphere, QOTSA are already in Exosphere!
