first thoughts?
Nothing but love songs. But it's good.
>>131998689Sucks major ass Bands only good song is no one knows
Is Sunday the same Sunday as the one in the Iggy Pop album?I am asking because wikipedia says that Iggy also wrote this song.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa3v4hknrmkits so good bros...>>132000140Yes. It's a 'cover' of the song off iggys album even tho Josh is the one who wrote the song lol. theres not really much of a difference in the versions except imagine bowie singing the qotsa version
Neck sorely missedHalf the album lameSunday rules but should have been on Villains
>>131998689The songs are fine but its not what I want to listen to when I want to listen to Queens of the stone age
>>131998689Lamest fucking band ever
It's like 9 of the quieter songs on the earlier albums on one albumDoesn't work
>>131998689Probably their weakest but a relaxing change of pace. Still like a 7 for me. Best song Mono
does the divorce and shit properly explain what's going on with Josh?saw him on Beato's channel and a couple of other places recently and he looked exhausted, resigned and just simply weakseems like the whole rockstar part of him has totally evaporated
>>131998689Old /mu/ would've laughed this shit out of the catalogue.
>>132000610>releases an album with Iggy Pop>some years pass>covers that song in one of his own albumsI knew people was saying he was going David Bowie, but I did not think it was literally
>>132001008Well, he has had many health problems
>>132001021Mental ones included.
>>132001012Old /mu/ were all faggots
It's fine, sounds like it's their Tranquility base hotel and casino >>132001012old /mu/ listened to fucking AnCo and Death Grips and treated them as gods
>>132001177Old /mu/ was metal fag central
>>132001208That was ancient /mu/
>>131998689Second hand embarrassment the band.
>>132001233Wtf does that mean
villainesquethe hopes now are they release a proper new album next year
>>1320012382028 only, they never released studio albums back to back
>>132001238Villains had actual movement in the songsPerfecth was mostly kinda boring
>>131998689I still haven't listened to In Times New Roman, was that one good or dull and uninspired like Villains?
>>132001281i know but this one is quiet literally a bunch of songs put toghetherdoesn't sound as an album, but as a playlist
>>132001456ITNR's better than VillainsNot by a huge amount but it is
>>131998689it's only love is pretty good, but whats the point of listening to a qotsa release when the album is 90% mosquito song?
>>131999634You are either too retarded to get a driver's license or outright psychotic
>>132001470It's a glorified B sides comp, all these songs are repurposed old outtakes, and they didn't bother to make it concise as a record or put a few new ones in it a la Tattoo You. Good for what it is, but not a real album from them.
>>132001598Mosquito Song is one of the best in SFTD though. I'd say the Catacombs stuff is more in that territory than this though
>>132001598>the album is 90% the best song ever released this millennium so farDon't raise my hopes!
>>132001789>>132001738ms is also one of my favorites on sftd, but I don't want an album full of ms and vampyre, that whole slow, somber style is not what im looking for in a qotsa album, give me fairweather friends, first it giveth, un-reborn again, more desert rock
>>132001008The man is 60 now what do you expect
>>132001952SFTD 2
>>132001986That train left the station over two decades ago. He literally said that the greatest goal during the recording of Lullabies To Paralyze was to not do SFTD 2
'tano going to murder this record, easy 4
>>132002032Who cares?
>>132001999How about LC 2?
>>132002084>SFTD2002>LC2013their big album of this decade should've been released around 2024but it was just ITNR insteadit's most probably over
Why does no one talk about Era Vulgaris? That's their most underrated album
>>132002151Era Vulgaris has gained tons of fans over the years, it's Self-Titled that's underrated. The hypnotic Motorik Sabbath/trance-influenced sound of QOTSA'S Self-Titled is the single most novel experiment in hard rock since Blue Cheer and greatly overlooked as part of the 'neo-krautrock' pantheon.
>>132002205Regular John and Mexicola are top 10 QOTSA songs
>>132002430you cant quit me baby is top 1
>>132002430Regular John makes me feel I need a shower
>>132001142Old /mu/ had taste beyond being simps, pop fags, and various other garbage genre appreciators, we actually had countless albums that were amazing to step into, /mu/ doesnt have that at all now
>>132002032Fantano was filtered by Manning Fireworks one of the best rock records in years, hes lost any relevance
>>132002205For years self titled was the only Queens album I loved but I came as a Kyuss fan. Then I fell for Like Clockwork and only after that I started to enjoy SFTD and rated r
Mono was like halfway to genuine art
If you counted them crooked vultures as a QotsA record itd be easily top 3, probably number 2
>>132003175Id say TCV is 3 behind deaf and clock
After hearing the closer and enjoying like 4 other moments I think its gonna be a mild grower, feels mature but like it didnt fully get there
>>132002205for me its if only and how to handle a ropeoff the new one I like this trackhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jHcWCtW6Oak
My favourite is "From the cliff"36 minutes total run time is very short though.
QOTSA are the last good mainstream rock band
Aside from "Sunday" it's shit
Mono, Sunday, goth girls, run from mob, its only love, and maybe from the cliff and insignificant other all had stuff going for them from varying degrees but most didnt go far enough. Should swung further into that experimental side, old rockers gotta do that more
This is definitely their worst album yet. There are some alright songs but it's kinda just meh. I didn't really care for the singles only the last single was ok the rest were just bland. Probably not an album I'm gonna return to.
I think Josh bought into the whole "making music for all stereotypes" a little too much. This is their most boring one. It just sounds like rehash of past songs.
This is the first thread on /mu/ I've seen in forever where we're actually discussing a new album in depth. How sad.
>>131998689Different, but good. Easy street is the weak link.>>132001017Iggy's China Girl is superior by A LOT tho.
>>132003941There's not a ton of interesting of new lps coming out that are worth discussing, and often when they are someone like me is late to the party and misses discussion threads. There was discussion over Olivia Rodrigo new record. I wouldve loved to be around for the Manning Fireworks threads but knowing his mild popularity it probably took awhile for people to realize it was amazing. Im more sad we dont have the base to praise classic albums like we used to, in the old days I could post something like perfect from now on and there'd be a wave of interest.
>>132002151I like it well enough, but not more than some of the bigger albumshttps://youtu.be/yAmvNwM8780?si=-AjBD2KLaqzLM0B5
>>131998689listening to it tomorrow for halloween
>>132002151for me its make it wit chu
>>132005431spoopy
I've been listening to Queens all day today
SFTD > Rated R > s/t > LC > LTP > EV > ITNR > Perfecth > Villains
>>132003941Cause whenever most new albums are posted people just shit on it without a care cause its not made by one of the old /mu/ approved artists>>132008613Deaf > LC > TCV > Era > R > ITNR > ST > Villains > Perfecth > Lullabies
>>131998689first album is the only good one. the rest sound contrived.
>>132008656What does that even mean?
>>132008656Man the first one is just Kyuss but the singer got kicked in the nuts
>>132003967>Iggy's China Girl is superior by A LOT thoNever in doubtHis version of Tonight is much better too
>>132006890Based Mark
>>132008677>first one is just KyussI guess that explains it then
>>132006890I miss him bros
>>132008931We all do, friend
Sounds like QOTSA to me, sounds good. Is it all good? No, but none of the songs are bad, I like that it’s a short mellow album, it feels fitting after Catacombs. My favorites are Insignificant Other and Run Away From The Mob, that bridge and outro are very novel and original for QOTSA. They branch out on this album in a way they haven’t before and it works for me, it still sounds like them just doing some new stuff which is something I commend and like to see, especially when a band is able to pull it off. I’ve been listening to them since Rated R, if you haven’t been listening as long and are shitting on this album you should suck one and see
I'd definitely rank it last, I'm not sure I see myself coming back to this. What it does good is expand their selection of more mellow material, I really enjoy stuff like It's Only Love, Mono, and Run Away From The Mob. Mob's got an incredible ending which is so obviously reminiscent of LC, if they were shelving songs like that imagine what other songs we've not heard. I think overall it would be perceived better if it was marketed as a bsides thing instead of an albumDon't like Insignificant Other. Don't like From The Cliff. Don't like Phantom Limb. You can see why some of these songs were cut>>132006890https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJqGMbFy1vk
>>132003114Shut up nostalgia fag
>>131998689they’re officially a nostalgia band and now villains and lullabies have competition for their worst album
>>131998689Not bad but not good
>>132010660>an fellow Lullabies hater
>>132010660>they’re officially a nostalgia bandthanks for saying it loud
>>131998689I haven't listened to Queens of the Stone Age since Songs for the Deaf and none of this sounds like what i'd expect>Yeah that shit was 20 years agoWell i don't like these new songsThe album art is nice though, has neoclassical vibes like The Death of Socrates or something
>>132010799The album art reminds me of Spaceman 3's debut, for some reason
>>132010707basado, incredibly mediocre album
>>132010707>>132013580>>132010660Faggotshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Xnm7leqOw0QOTSA peaked here
Lullabies is great the fuck are you guys talking about?
>>132013627SFTDfags are the most retarded QOTSA fans. Kyuss boomers at least aren't posers
>SUN DON'T CHASE THEM ALL AWAYYYYYYYY
>>132013627little sister is one of their best songs and medication is a decent opener, but other than that it's a forgettable collection of songs with no edge.
>>132014938>medication is a decent openerthis lullaby would like a word sir
Boring but maybe slightly better than Villains
if you like SFTD and don't like thishttps://youtu.be/x-8olJ139y0?si=7gx-O60Fp-OJ8ERbthen you don't like SFTD, you're just a poser faggotlullabies works as a filter
