Customer Reviews
Average Rating: Rating: - POSTED AN ONLINE REVIEW It hasn't been long since Queens of the Stone Age released their last album, 'R', which is surprising as they've created yet another masterpiece in such a short amount of time. It's been set out as someone flicking through radio stations, and stopping at the best songs with fantastic guitar solos and thumping basslines. The album starts off heavy with 'Millionaire', sung loud and strong by Nick Oliveri. It begins to get 'bouncy' in the second track, 'No One Knows'. In a few words, it's like and inward and outward spiral of rock, metal and bounce. 'A Song For The Deaf' is almost Kyuss-like. As the album progresses, 'The Sky Is Fallin' and 'Hangin' Tree' stand out, but 'Go With The Flow' is a stylistic sounding outburst, with Josh Homme's amazing vocals. 'Song For The Deaf' is hauntingly fantastic. The bassline runs all the way up and down your spine repeatedly. 'Songs For The Deaf' ends cosily with the beautiful 'Mosquito Song', and finishes with a magnificent marching band kind of sound, emphasising on the horn section and the crashing toms. The Kinks cover of 'Everybody's Gonna Be Happy' ends 'Songs For The Deaf' with a smile on your face. Rating: - Are you listening??????????? Personally, I didn't find much of the music after 1980 all that interesting. Then I through a friend found QOTSA, and was home. Songs... is by far the best album yet. I've heard most if not all music associated with Queens/Kyuss/Mondo Genereator, etc.,and this album absolutely kicks [*]. Non stop from the engine starting ala Kiss/Destroyer right through to "Not saying goodnight, just saying...". The Mosquito Song is so dramatic, the constant build gives just enough tension to make for a striking climax and a beautiful finish to the album. My personal fave is "Song for the Dead", Grohl's drumming is miles above par on this track, and Lanegan's vocal is just awesome. Nick Olivieri's "Millionaire" is the perfect kickstart to the album, with just enough drive to make you want more. And Josh as always writes a most interesting and amazing pop-styled song. "No one knows" is truly stonerrock at it's best, Grohl's drumming on this track builds unlike no other song from this timeframe.I also love the complete 360, turning to early 60's pop for "Another Love Song". This is the band that will save rock and roll, and this album is their calling card. Rating: - QOTSA are setting new standards for rock and roll releases.** You know how sometimes when you anticipate a CD's release, then become disappointed shortly after the laser hits the aluminum? Well, what Queens Of The Stone Age have done with this album, is deliver a much needed dose of QUALITY ROCK AND ROLL (if you happen to be in Creed, keep reading.) Loud guitars, rumbling bass, and crisp drumming have finally become more important than leather pants and whining about life. Don't forget Josh Homme's vocals, which demonstrate the ability to be strong, and at times, sound weary and distant. "Millionaire" has a great intro, and at exactly 59 seconds, you find out what you're in for. Not to mention the hand claps, which brings the listener along with the band for the rest of the CD. "First It Giveth" features stop on a dime staccato drum and acoustic guitar (!?!) breaks, and "Song For The Dead" has the best breakneck beginning since "Achilles Last Stand." With songs like "God Is In The Radio" featuring Sabbath-like guitar tones, and "Mosquito Song" using bizarre string arrangements for the comedown, Queens Of The Stone Age have produced an album that will become a major influence in the future, and have drawn the proverbial line in the sand for every single musical act that thinks they have what it takes to rock and roll.
