The Lesser Hommeverse, ranked

No I will not listen to EODM. No I will not listen to Desert Sessions. Maybe one day I will listen to Post Pop Depression

Welcome to Sky Valley


Would anything else be here?

...Like Clockwork


Simultaneously a career defining statement and a triumphant reinvention. The moment Homme finally submitted to the fact that deep down, he was always writing pop songs.

Blues for the Red Sun


Some of the interludes get a bit tiring some days, but this is Riff City — population: Josh
4Queens of the Stone Age
Songs for the Deaf


A slight amount of filler starts creeping in, but the concept and sheer charisma manage to hold it together

Worship the riff. The riff is eternal.
6Queens of the Stone Age
Era Vulgaris


Aged surprisingly well. I enjoy the janky, electrifying, methed-up New Wave feel. It really does feel like a dying lightbulb.
7Queens of the Stone Age
Rated R


I know that for Oliveri/Lanegan purists, this is peak Qotsa, but to me it feels more transitional than anything. Some great drumming here though.

...And the Circus Leaves Town


Some good riffs, but as much as I love Hernandez’ drumming, the band did suffer in the songwriting and chemistry department from losing Bjork. John also started to become grating here. Less than the sum of its parts, even where the parts are good.
9Queens of the Stone Age
Lullabies to Paralyze


There’s a good album buried in here, and I love the goth rock influences — it’s just overlong, and can’t match the pace of better albums without trimming the fat.

JPJ tears it up on this fun romp, but both Homme and Grohl feel like they’re in a bit of a creative rut here, and it shows.
11Queens of the Stone Age
Villains


Didn’t vibe this on release, but I’ve spent the last seven years getting a thorough education in funk and disco, and I think I get the vibe a bit more now. Don’t really come back to it often though.

Wretch


Tracks like Black Widow and Love Has Passed Me By rip, but the production kills it for me. Surprising amount of Soundgarden worship!
13Queens of the Stone Age
In Times New Roman...


I can literally only remember the riff to Sicily. Paper Machete just turns into Little Sister whenever I try to recall how it goes. Not even bad, just kinda forgettable.
