new queens of the stone age

[nicster]

That gig they did at the Sydney Metro when they were touring Rated R kicked my lame little ass! They were awesome. Of course, it was my first time seeing the Queens so all they had to do was turn up and I was going to be a happy camper.

But their slot at the BDO was pretty average. They didn't look too pleased to be playing in daylight, haha.

Edited to add: I'll be picking up my copy from Utopia on the weekend so I'll add my review then. I feel like the only person on this board and over at sr.com who hasn't heard it yet!

[Lax Charisma]

...I don't want to talk about this anymore, I mean I haven't heard it yet.

[Jeb]

I haven't heard it yet either.

[nicster]

OK, I don't feel like such a loser now, ha.

[Lax Charisma]

;D. Yeah us losers can all team up and rave about how great/bad this album is months after everyone else is already over it and moved on heh, heh, heh...

[Peanut]

Shut up losers! Get back in your box!

[Lax Charisma]

. Don't start me Peanut. I'm about to snap. Lucky I've got Doom Saloon here keeping it real otherwise...hey fuck I reckon that could be what is making me snap. Fuck it's a gloriously heavy album ;D. Go you fucking Pod People! Fucking go...

[mrkyuss]

the best track, by a mile is track 13, song for the deaf, an epic kyuss like stoner track.....


get into it...........

mr kyuss.

[FGM]

Thing is though - I don't listen to QOTSA to be reminded of Kyuss... Don't get me wrong there aint nothin' wrong with Kyuss but I reckon QOTSA deserve to be recognised on their own merits.

'A song for the dead' is pretty classic QOTSA "robot rock" and I love the cool suspended keys and the soaring delayed guitars in 'Go with the flow'.

A tip spectator; just don't look at this particular thread until you get the cd, we are aware now that you don't have it but that you want to get it
For some reason the cd reminds me of lots of things I liked in the nineties, I got looked at real funny last night when I said this to some rock officionados but I hear things that remind me of Alice in Chains, Soundgarden and even a kind of Smashing Pumpkins sounding guitar in some songs, I mean its all their music and I'll say again that its all awesome but it gets me all nostalgic. Is anyone else reminded of these sort of bands?

[Lax Charisma]

. Can't help myself Slatts. I'll behave I promise. What you say may be the single most interesting thing I've heard about this album so far. Touching the seattle sound would sound hot in those more than capable hands, besides in the turning of the recycled circle of rock and roll we have nearly com full circle to Seattle again.
Gets me thinking though something really amazing most be on the way soon because that cycle is only 10 years old now and is getting smaller and smaller and eventually will disappear we shall then like the War of the Worlds prophesised, have to start all over again.

[Slatts]

Its not really repeating itself, what I meant was that they've taken all the good bits and made this new fucking corker of an album.
But I like the idea of that start from scratch stuff

[Lax Charisma]

. Yeah Slatts I got what you mean. that is what a good band does and that is what I meant by capable hands.
I am fascinated that the "borrowed" periods are drawing closer. At present it seems to be 1969 and The Stooges are all the rage again. We have to reach a point where we have nowhere else to go because the past has been borrowed from so much that something new must emerge...Does that make sense?
