motownjunkie Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 just listening to it now, its such a solid album, it has this middle eastern flavoured guitar style going on like josh normally has but its a little darker because baldy oliveri left the band.first ten songs are vintage queens of the stone age, its like a combination of the screaming trees meets queens.but i would love to see the next album feature more of mark lanegan ....

kevdo242 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I like it, but I prefer Songs For The Deaf.QOTSA kick ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.b Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Over rated. The only really good part i hear is the song Burn The Withch, with your man from ZZtop. His name escapes me now... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Flower Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Kickass album, but I kind of get the feeling that Josh Homme is on cruise control for most of it.'Songs For The Deaf' just seems a lot more fun and spontaneous. Nick Oliveri really added something different to the band - not just vocally, he had that element of danger about him and rocked like a fucker*.* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScottRose Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Nah, it's a good album, it has some strong tunes, like In My Head, Burn The Witch and Little Sister. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motownjunkie Posted November 1, 2006 Author Share Posted November 1, 2006 Crap album. The old ones were better.how can you say that? ....i find it hard to believe that a music fan could dislike at least half of the album, particularly, burn the witch, tangled up in plaid, everyone knows your insane, little sister, in the wolf, broken box, they are so infectiousthe reason why it may come across as autopliot is because there is no nick oliveri playing thump bass, its a different band now, i think those who know about the screaming trees understand where im coming from because its more in that vein.songs for the deaf is my least favourite and while it has some of their best work, millionaire, first it giveth, no one knows. as an album its a complete mess, where as ® and lullabies are more of a concept album with tight songs all the way through.

To be honest, I thought the best thing about it was the clip for Everybody Knows That You're Insane. I'll have a listen to the songs you pointed out anyway.

Irs Better Catcher in the Twat Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 overated if anything...and let me tell you something else...these guys SUCK very bad live. Seen them open for NIN last year and they were one of the worst bands I've ever seen. (and ive seen a lot os shitty bands) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leigh-Rok! Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 *Shrugs* I listened to it a couple times and nothing really grabbed me.I felt the same at first. But like with 90% of the music I purchase, I persevered and it's pretty funky. I haven't listened to it in ages... maybe I need to replace the 6 CDs in my in-car changer and listen to some random discs that I haven't heard in a while.

wasted Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 I think the songs are there but production on it was a bit too tight and polished. Some of it sounds almost glossy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's overrated.Where I come from Josh Homme can do no wrong, and it is always talked about. Many even say its better than SFTD. Even my own father thinks this. So I think I'm right in saying it's over rated... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raw Power Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I've allways thought that this was QOTSA inntill recently. I've started listening to it more and more, and damnit.. This album is awsome. It's maybe their best release. It's really really good. Everybody Knows That You're Insane <3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biz Markie. Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 (edited) Bunch of Pidgoens Of Shit metal impersonators...I hope you're joking.Anyway. It is an excellent album. I would even go as far to say that it is better than Songs for the Deaf. It has that quality where you can listen to every track over-and-over ("Tangled Up in Plaid" and "I Never Came" stuck in my skull for months after I bought it), whereas some tracks on Songs for the Deaf fall flat ("Six Shooter" and "Another Love Song," especially). But with that said, I do miss Oliveri and Lanegan . Edited April 10, 2007 by Biz Markie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
