Queens of the Stone Age - Villains - 2017

Up to no. 3 'Domesticated Animals" and I know that I'll be buying it.

The only remotely weak record Homme/Queens has made is Lullabies. And yeah, this single is pretty weak, poorest single since "little Sister."

Lullabies is great. It's a sprawling mess in the best way

I like Lullabies a lot. It has 4 or 5 of their very best tunes and the production is appealingly weird.

i am p much exactly with vm, lullabies only one that's not good/great, but ime it was/remains v popular

hmmph…

I would like it if Crooked Vultures came back… gives me my JPJ fix and I get to enjoy Grohl playing drums and not being pass/ag about music that ain't punk rock or butt rock…

xxxp are you kidding? that would be their high water mark imo

lucky bastards @ reading festival.

surprise guests.

1. Rated r (one of my favorite records ever made) 2. S/t, 3. Era Vulgaris, 4. Them crooked Vultures (totally think this record belongs in any such ranking) 4. Songs… 7. Lullabies

haven't listened to Clockwork and Villains enuff, but know that they're better than

…Lullabies…

the Vultures record drags like hell imho

These guys have 4 million Spotify listeners. That's like half of led zep.

i really love the single in the context of the album

I'm gonna be the asshole that says they are a great band but also thinks the original s/t is still the best

S/t is by far the best then songs for the deaf then rated r

close your eyes and dream me home

Liking this more and more with each listen. Fortress and the title track are actual dad-rock par excellence.

Fortress is quickly becoming a favorite. The production in some ways was difficult for me to connect with, especially the drums. However, the almost underdeveloped synths and similar drum sound on each track makes the album feel more uniform. And it swings

first spin through, fortress jumped out. we'll see what grows

First and last tracks are amazing. I want to see the full musical based on this soundtrack.

This album clicked with me this morning!

Sometimes I need time to dig on the album that is not the album I wanted.

I still think Ronson makes drums sound click and sometimes the guitars they are being crunched thru some old sampler

but I see the sort of arty/poppier/glammier thing that Homme was going for and maybe Ronson got him in a different zone

They are a remarkable band in many ways.

I love the singles so much more within the context of everything else

yeah me too

the back half of fortress where it turns into sabbath's "snowblind" as played by crazy horse...

head like a haunted house has those t-rex backing vox too

The "Telegram Sam" (and "Keep Your Hands To Yourself' !?!) is strong in "Un-Reborn Again".

totally feel that way McCain

i love that this record's intro is literally a lyrical ode to the powers of rock

this album is incredible and i think the band has peaked over these last 2 records

hoo boy do i have some Oliveri stans you should meet

Lotsa nice tight and funky playing on this, and a refreshing light vibe. I'm not sure the songwriting is up to their best work, but I'm only one listen in.

this is their best album

wtf

https://pitchfork.com/news/josh-homme-kicks-female-photographer-in-the-head-during-show/

Coming here to post that. Fuck him.

fucking tool

i support his "Fuck Muse" stance

This sucks. I missed their show when they came through DC, but there's been rampant discussion over on the qotsa subreddit during this tour for the past few months about how his drug use/alcoholism is really getting on top of him this tour. There have been a few other incidents of asshole behavior. And he's always been a bit of a hothead, but it's been to the point where he's really disappointing the fans. The telltale signs of a middle-aged man frantically trying to keep a grip on his self-image as badass. This is the culmination of that I guess. Super lame.

Official Statement:

Last night, while in a state of being lost in performance, I kicked over various lighting and equipment on our stage. Today it was brought to my attention that this included a camera held by photographer Chelsea Lauren. I did not mean for that to happen and I am very sorry. I would never intentionally cause harm to anyone working at or attending one of our shows and I hope Chelsea will accept my sincere apology.—Joshua Homme

I take "Lost In Performance"="Fucked Up On Something".

well that's p weak

he was superb at the boston show but seemed extremely cokey. lots of nonsense between songs. hell, the record is kinda like that. the most recent video too.

That's a bunch of bullshit. The video clearly shows him kicking exactly one thing - the photographer and her camera.

Co-co-co-co-co-cocaine...

I think its keeping up with the tradition of Iggy pop, freaking out squares. Nothing more, nothing less. Everything is so PC nowadays and everyone's got their own little opinion about everything. Rock should be dangerous, insulting, in your face, should make you feel uncomfortable from time to time.

So this poster's saying he/she should be kicked in the face?

I'd hoped eagles of death metal was his trash bin for throwing away these impulses while keeping QotSA actually good

he's been on a trajectory of being Dave Grohl for people who have heard of Jesus Lizard for a minute

well the album title is fitting now congrats Josh

nicotine / valium / vicodin / marijuana / ecstasy / alcohol can take a toll

He's posted an apology video to FB now as well.

I have a strong feeling that in addition to any charges filed (which should happen), we'll be hearing about a rehab trip in the coming days.

kevin gates went to jail for this
