This album is another F*$King TRIUMPH for QOTSA...just shows how versatile they are, and how ADDICTIVE they are to listen to...one of the best bands of the last 20 years, IMO.
Oh, yeah, but... Fuck me, this was 5 years ago... Anyway... For me it's at 5.10 when the bridge ends and explodes into the breakdown. Such a huge rush when that rhythm section slams in and just shakes everything right the fuck up.
@@richarquis I always crank up the volume in the car when that part hits. Still gotta remind myself not to drive like a madman despite the adrenaline rush though lol
I don't know if you know about Them Crooked Vultures, it's a band formed by Josh Homme on guitar and vocals, Dave Grohl on drums and John Paul Jones on bass
My first thought when this album came out was that it sounded like so many of my favorite old 70’s rock bands, I could name at least five influences off the top of my head immediately. A lot of Queens fans don’t dig this album and I just don’t get it. It’s so good.
I've been playing ,recording and touring for 30 years now.... IMO, this is a great track... People need to stop focusing on who worked on it and start rocking out.....
I would like to differ here. It's important to know who produced the tracks or albums you like. You could get a fucking great surprise. And this album was produced by Mark Ronson. :)
Rook Mine Boi in NFS Payback appears another song called "The Way You Used To Do", but they appears in so many car games, the first song I heard about them was in a game called Destruction Derby Arenas, song called "Regular John", and I fall in love with them instantly, and later in NFSU2 the song called "In My Head" and after I buy that CD and I realyze that the song freatured in the same CD called "Little Sister" that appears in the game Midnight Club 3 Dub Edition, and there are more for sure, and as u see all from car games, I consider myself a petrolhead and thanks to that I also discovered bands like this one that become one of my favorites, the best ones for me.
Can someone just make an hour long mix of the final minute thirty? Saw them in Chicago last month and they did it for a solid 10 mins. Still not enough.

Josh isn't just good with lyric, he a good preformer over all. I genuinely think he has one of the best voices I've ever heard and the style of music he involves himself with is amazing
you forgot to finish that; "... pumping out good songs since they formed AND until after they released Songs for the Deaf when they suddenly went all faffy hair gel sleeveless shit with a side of no balls"
This has such a them crooked vultures vibe, it's my favourite song on the album. Every time QOTSA do something different and it's amazing. Keep it up boys 👍
i cant believe this. You come here telling them to keep it up, like you're their mother or something! YOU HAVE NO AUTHORITY OVER THEM, THEY'RE GONNA KEEP IT UP IF THEY WANT TO KEEP IT UP NOT IF YOU SAY SO! WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!
First riff is so LedZeppelin-esque it made me smile and like it instantly. The whole song is full of riffs and I love it. Great songs on the album as a whole also, its different, and different is aways welcome :) This album, Mogwai's one and Concrete and Gold by Foo Fighters are going to be the greatest albums of the year in my opinion. And on a side note, thanks for posting them on UA-cam for listening.
Yes there are a lot of Zeppelin influences in the whole album and for me one of the best albums in 2017. and absolutely great collaboration by Iggy Pop and Josh Homme on ''Post Pop Depression'' in 2016.
C&G was okay but it's one of the Foos' weakest efforts imo. This album is better but by no means a masterpiece. Still, I'm glad both bands are still releasing decent material and I'm not mad about either album.
fuck. they've always been able to capture "classic rock" without being a gimmick in the modern era. this song proves it. it kicks so much god damn ass.
QOTSA is just the last great band in rock history. Among the greatest. I would love your input on our last video from our first album. It got the attention of one of my heroes Joe Bouchard (ex bass player founding members of BÖC) who is following us on Soundcloud but returns from people who likes same music is always the best. If you have just 3 minutes to listen and a bit more to comment, that would mean the world to me. Keep rockin' ua-cam.com/video/i1fVRW6z3n4/v-deo.html and Happy new year
Well...I turned this on this morning at 5.30am and listened and thought, eh...I am not feeling it. But then I listened again (honestly probably fifteen times in a row) and boom. Do yourself a favour and listen with some decent bass headphones and hear Mikey go. And then the duet of slide guitars from Dean and Troy, it sounds ace. I heard it live - sounds much more raw. I'm disappointed that the drums feel and hear more like background - but we can't have it all. I get why hardcore Rated R/Songs for the D won't like this. I actually love that Josh has evolved with his albums. Nothing annoys me more than when bands just sound like they're in a cycle of self-plagiarism. I love that Rated R and Songs won't be repeated again - they exist in the specific time and in a specific place in the band and my history that I love to keep in there. But the few songs and snippets we have so far tells me that Villains will have something for the old school fans, and something new for us to dig ourselves into. Evil has landed...and its in my head....so I need it.
Needs to be listened to on high quality speakers/headphones for sure. They did not compress and boost the high/mids of the bass much at all so they're pretty much inaudible on laptop speakers. When you listen on good shit though it's awesome cause it gives you that big counterplay sound of high and low.
Nick Osbaldiston I first listened to it on my headphones and fell in total love with. Sounded so pure. Then I put it on my soundbar speaker and it sounded *completely* different. Almost like two different songs.
LiTAQ Its not that I don't like it, I do. It's just very different from what I'm used to hearing from QotSA and as others have mentioned, I am reminded of Them Crooked Vultures. That and although this is still very much Queens in its feel, there is a part of me that was hoping for something adding more songs that feel like their first album, or Songs For The Deaf...

Best album of 2017!!! I hope they win every Grammy they got nominated for... QOTSA have been badass since 1998. Been listening to them since their first album!!!
yeah, why use more than the first two strings on your guitar? is basically what anyone who says 5.00 onwards is the only good part of this song means. if you like hearing songs with only two chords go back to the 40s and fuck off trying to stop people progressing. Bands change over time. I love their old stuff. their new stuff isn't hitting as hard but its still quality in my opinion. point being, theres plenty of music to listen to. If you want something that sounds like THAT album.. listen to that fucking album rather than let it taint your view of this one. Most things we like are things we never even knew about at some point. give new stuff a chance.
I can tell you this: Queens of the Stone Age have been around for ages now. I first heard of them back in 2006 when “Go With The Flow” was featured in Gran Turismo 4, then I heard them five years later in Gran Turismo 5 with “The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret”. They’ve released some pretty good stuff, I can say that.
I'm so glad I'm just now getting into this band. A lot of you sound like over pretentious hipsters because this song doesn't fit some mold of what you think they should sound. I think this is incredible.
Great bands evolve over the years. As they travel the world they pick up new influences and experiences which shine through their music. Each Queens album sounds vastly different to the last. This is all part of their evolution. Chill out naysayers, get the album and listen to it over and over again. You'll start to discover hidden snippets of gold and each song will grow on you. Give Queens a chance, they deserve that don't you think?!
MsIndigo78 ... Words of wisdom and ones we should all adhere to! People are far too quick to judge and critique! Honestly, how many songs, the more you listen to them have "grown on you"? Listen again and I'm sure eventually, like before The Queens will become 1 with your ears!
I've had it on repeat for a few days now. Like Clockwork has already aged like a fine wine, and I say this as someone who began listening around Rated R/ Songs for the Deaf. In fact I've seen them live twice now. The first was between the 2 albums I mentioned, and the 2nd was the Like Clockwork tour. Two very different, but very good shows. I have not gone out of my way to find it, so I was not aware people are criticizing the album, but I don't understand why anyone would.
love the intro of this paired with the outro....they should have Ted on stage to solo the last part out sometime. ua-cam.com/video/_onagRhKN5E/v-deo.html
Once again, I wonder where all you expert level QOTSA fans crawled out of regarding this album's style and production. Josh has ALWAYS praised and used super dry drum production (major influences being early ZZ top albums) and the way the drums are produced on Villains is a very natural and logical evolution of that ideal. It fits PERFECTLY with the music, and sounds very much like "real drums" no matter how hard you might personally be struggling to hear nuances or cymbals within the mix. Not the band's fault, not my fault, get better at listening.
Why does everything have to better or worse than something else to everyone? Just enjoy everything for what it is. The record is definitely a grower and not a shower but it doesn't need to be compared. Queens aren't the same band physically or mentally as the were in 2002. Aren't even the same as 2013...all that means is we'll continue to get fresh music. I'm personally thrilled its nothing like any of the previous records. Anything else would just be stale.
hmm depends on what kind of music you were expecting from this album... but then again, expecting a specific sound on a new QOTSA album is flawed thinking as they change their sound so much album to album. I honestly would have preferred more haunting stoner rock but definitely still looking forward to the rest of this album!
I really dont know whats so wrong about this and why people seem to hate it so much in the comments. For me every album has some sort of theme to it. Like clockwork was so dark and depressing it felt pretty heavy and maybe Josh Homme wanted to try something new. something to lighten up a little. They always experienced a little and they always changed things a little and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. creative people need to try out new things they cant just stay in one mold, its against their nature. Just enjoy the damn music and dance
Like Clockwork helped me through a really hard time in my life but this cheers me up y'know? .. It's great that he's an artist that doesn't stick to the same old, same old but I've loved his stuff since his Kyuss days.
In my own opinion they don't have a bad album, like you said it's called experimentation and like clockwork was depressing because Josh Homme wrote the album after pretty much dying on the operation table. Who cares they still make amazing music I think.
@@incandescentadolescents1889 What "Sheep" by Pink Floyd , its a brilliant song, What an Album ANIMALS is a true Masterpiece. Lullabies to Paralyse , QOSA another masterpiece, along with most of their albums too.
I think people is hating the "production" on this album just because they heard it's by mark ronson, chill out, the songs are good, QOTSA are making great music
>THIS ISN'T QUEENS! WTF HAPPENED?! WE WANT THE SAME ALBUM OVER AND OVER AGAIN! This entire album is 10/10. Some of the best work they've ever written, and probably the most fun I've had listening to a Rock album in years. Stop hating, or stop listening.
Seriously this is arguably the best album they've put out. Most bands this late in their career put out serviceable songs but there are at least 3 or 4 on this album that rival stuff on their earlier material.
Thier last album took a few listens and then a few more closer listens to realize I was falling for it... And now some of the songs I paid the least attention to are my very favorites. This band is notorious for getting better with each listen, a sure sign of a truly talented group..... And as far as influences on this track, makes the think budgie meets zeppelin meets qotsa .... Some of the best
I will never forget the day I saw QOTSA - No one knows, they have changed my musical life. Now I can't imagine my playlist without a single qotsa song there. This album is definitely must have for me. Thank you Qotsa for new inspiration. _\m/
All I gotta say is THIS ALBUM FINALLY CLICKED! I kept listening over and over, wondering if it was always going feel underwhelmind and disjointed. Then all of a sudden BHAM. FUCK YES! AND I DON'T GIVE A SHIT... "TURNING ON THE SCREW" FROM "ERA VULGARIS"KICKS ASS. WHOEVER DOESN'T LIKE THAT ALBUM. ITS THEIR LOSS! BAMMMMM!
Same here. First listen planted curiosity, by the fifth listen I was singing right along and losing my shit loving it so much. And I NEVER understood why somebody wouldn't like Era Vulgaris.
Once again QOTSA have done did it again. Done made something that I can just listen to over and over again and at a particularly trying time in my life. Thank You.
its always the same with QOTSA ....you need to listent the music 10 -15 times and than you will understand and like/love ....since over 20 years im a QOTSA fan...the first and the second album i love it at the beginning. since songs for the deaf, i hate every album at the beginning.....but if i listing more and more to the albums, i love them more and more.....QOTSA ,you crazy little pigs...you will be my favorite band, all the time ;) see us in munich :) hey play for me an old song : everybody knows that youre insane ..because i know you are! hehehehe ;)
I still come back after 7 years. 2017 was the best year of my life. I remember buying this on launch. i graduated highschool with honors, had a job, a car, was going to college for HVAC, got a girl. Then it went to shit in 2018. Now I'm homeless. 2024. Everything will be alright just gotta keep going. I will be back except the girl. I'm focused on myself now.
It does grow on you. When you've been around since the 90s, u have to evolve! I am a fan that returned to Queens..doesn't make me any less.. I "can't quit them baby.."
i love the bass grooves on this thing
idn'it?
Definitely
Attention everyone, breaking news! Yoshikillerz loves the bass on this song.
Mikey Shoes is fucking on point here, perfect backupvocals and those basslines are just dirty!

C&G was okay but it's one of the Foos' weakest efforts imo. This album is better but by no means a masterpiece. Still, I'm glad both bands are still releasing decent material and I'm not mad about either album.
Homme's unique guitar solos are genius. Idiosyncratic, creative, funny. Pretty much sums up the man. Rock on!!
WHAT A WAY TO START THE DAY WITH A NEW QOTSA SINGLE!!!
this song really doesn't feel like six minutes long, I need more
It's six minutes?
fuck. they've always been able to capture "classic rock" without being a gimmick in the modern era. this song proves it. it kicks so much god damn ass.
SUCH a good song to go for a drive to 🤤
QOTSA is just the last great band in rock history. Among the greatest.
I would love your input on our last video from our first album. It got the attention of one of my heroes Joe Bouchard (ex bass player founding members of BÖC) who is following us on Soundcloud but returns from people who likes same music is always the best. If you have just 3 minutes to listen and a bit more to comment, that would mean the world to me. Keep rockin' ua-cam.com/video/i1fVRW6z3n4/v-deo.html and Happy new year
late night drive (:
I've been doing just this the last 3 days
I'd get nailed for over 100 on the Interstate if I drove to this tune.
The way he says "come close" gives chills everytime
Well...I turned this on this morning at 5.30am and listened and thought, eh...I am not feeling it. But then I listened again (honestly probably fifteen times in a row) and boom. Do yourself a favour and listen with some decent bass headphones and hear Mikey go. And then the duet of slide guitars from Dean and Troy, it sounds ace.
I heard it live - sounds much more raw. I'm disappointed that the drums feel and hear more like background - but we can't have it all.
I get why hardcore Rated R/Songs for the D won't like this. I actually love that Josh has evolved with his albums. Nothing annoys me more than when bands just sound like they're in a cycle of self-plagiarism. I love that Rated R and Songs won't be repeated again - they exist in the specific time and in a specific place in the band and my history that I love to keep in there.
But the few songs and snippets we have so far tells me that Villains will have something for the old school fans, and something new for us to dig ourselves into. Evil has landed...and its in my head....so I need it.
'specific time and in a specific place'... You couldn´t said it better.
thanks bro
Needs to be listened to on high quality speakers/headphones for sure. They did not compress and boost the high/mids of the bass much at all so they're pretty much inaudible on laptop speakers. When you listen on good shit though it's awesome cause it gives you that big counterplay sound of high and low.
ZiPolishHammer totally man...
Nick Osbaldiston I first listened to it on my headphones and fell in total love with. Sounded so pure.
Then I put it on my soundbar speaker and it sounded *completely* different.
Almost like two different songs.
I know a lot of people may disagree, but I'm really liking the feel of this album so far.
LiTAQ this sounds different than the leak.
LiTAQ Its not that I don't like it, I do.
It's just very different from what I'm used to hearing from QotSA and as others have mentioned, I am reminded of Them Crooked Vultures. That and although this is still very much Queens in its feel, there is a part of me that was hoping for something adding more songs that feel like their first album, or Songs For The Deaf...
LiTAQ Every album sounds different but yet so familiar. Don't know any other band who can pull that off.
Giant Douche System?
Giant Douche yesss!!!!
One of the best modern bands of today

The best. Hands down
2:58 - 3:36 is one of the best bits ive ever heard in a song. way too good.
It’s mesmerizing. Both guitar riffs are great, and the backing riff gets more frantic as that section progresses. This song is perfect.
I like this tune a lot more than the first single from Villans.
it is going to be a great album
Agreed. I'm not sure what I think of The Way You Used To Do... Mixed feelings. Sometimes I like it, sometimes it's just 'meh'.
The Way is good it's just too repetitive for how long it is. The guitar tone is cool but after that long it gets really grating
Reid Alldabooks . I heard the way you used to do and thought I would hate this album
that opening though...
What the hell, i just can't stop playing this song in a loop! XD
Hey I didnt know you were into qotsa😂😂
Me fucking either! I’m loving that bass line and groove! It makes me want to write!
hjoly shti
5:10 from that moment i swear it gives me that old school '98 QOTSA vibe.the whole recording is sonic pleasure.
Best album of 2017!!! I hope they win every Grammy they got nominated for... QOTSA have been badass since 1998. Been listening to them since their first album!!!
when is the grammy
Dont see how people say this doesnt sound like qotsa. This song is classic Queens. Especially from 5:00 on.
they aint got ears if they're saying that shit.
actually its the only good part
yeah, why use more than the first two strings on your guitar? is basically what anyone who says 5.00 onwards is the only good part of this song means. if you like hearing songs with only two chords go back to the 40s and fuck off trying to stop people progressing. Bands change over time. I love their old stuff. their new stuff isn't hitting as hard but its still quality in my opinion. point being, theres plenty of music to listen to. If you want something that sounds like THAT album.. listen to that fucking album rather than let it taint your view of this one. Most things we like are things we never even knew about at some point. give new stuff a chance.
it seems people just want lullabies with a 2018 sticker on it. fuck doing anything new..
Agreed. These derpers are only familiar with 'Puttin' on the Hits Queens'. Never really absorbed old school QOTSA.
This song makes you feel untouchable
It fills you with so much power
Significantly better and more interesting than The Way You Used To Do (not saying that song is bad, but this one is definitely the better of the two)
It feels like forever for the full album release, if i die after listening to this album i'll die the happiest man alive.
One of the best f*cking songs I've ever heard. I'm gonna make a guitar and bass cover of this.
This is my first time hearing QOTSA, and I must say it's pretty great...
wow. they literally have a song for every mood and occasion. Check out lullabies to paralyze, rated r and the self titled. thank me later
Wow, you're wayyy late to the party.
7 months on, have you entered the rabbits hole?
I both envy and pity you in the best possible ways lol
I can tell you this: Queens of the Stone Age have been around for ages now. I first heard of them back in 2006 when “Go With The Flow” was featured in Gran Turismo 4, then I heard them five years later in Gran Turismo 5 with “The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret”. They’ve released some pretty good stuff, I can say that.
"Here we come" I got chills.
Listening to this song at 37,000 feet while flying above clouds is pure bliss
Love this song! I just like that they're doing what they want and aren't afraid to change how they sound
The hand thats moving the devil-puppet is the hand of the protagonist from QOTSA's "I appear missing" vid. Go figure the rest ;)
Cheers to the most underrated band of all time, they are AMAZING!!!
I don't know what I like better, the drums or the guitar...
@Guilherme S. Sousa The bass is great too
B A S S
Love it when a great band gives us a new thing all the time. Not same same, same same, same same.
I'm so glad I'm just now getting into this band. A lot of you sound like over pretentious hipsters because this song doesn't fit some mold of what you think they should sound. I think this is incredible.
Beyond incredible and already standing up to the test of time. It's TIGHT.
Great bands evolve over the years. As they travel the world they pick up new influences and experiences which shine through their music. Each Queens album sounds vastly different to the last. This is all part of their evolution. Chill out naysayers, get the album and listen to it over and over again. You'll start to discover hidden snippets of gold and each song will grow on you. Give Queens a chance, they deserve that don't you think?!
MsIndigo78 agreed!
I agree, 1st listen through of the evil has landed meh, now f yeah
MsIndigo78 ... Words of wisdom and ones we should all adhere to!
People are far too quick to judge and critique! Honestly, how many songs, the more you listen to them have "grown on you"?
Listen again and I'm sure eventually, like before The Queens will become 1 with your ears!
I've had it on repeat for a few days now. Like Clockwork has already aged like a fine wine, and I say this as someone who began listening around Rated R/ Songs for the Deaf. In fact I've seen them live twice now. The first was between the 2 albums I mentioned, and the 2nd was the Like Clockwork tour. Two very different, but very good shows. I have not gone out of my way to find it, so I was not aware people are criticizing the album, but I don't understand why anyone would.
MsIndigo78 lm
Okay but why is this the perfect song for feeling like a classy ruler
This outro is like OMG
this song is the definition of cool
5:11 always my favourite bit, it sounds so good
since I don't see many positive comments, I'll leave one...
This song is fucking awesome.
What are you talking about? I see nothing but positivity.
love the intro of this paired with the outro....they should have Ted on stage to solo the last part out sometime. ua-cam.com/video/_onagRhKN5E/v-deo.html
Now that time has passed.. the likes are representative
NLM unfortunately... there are loads
@@Orlando-go1tb 2 years ago lmao, that was a little different
Once again, I wonder where all you expert level QOTSA fans crawled out of regarding this album's style and production. Josh has ALWAYS praised and used super dry drum production (major influences being early ZZ top albums) and the way the drums are produced on Villains is a very natural and logical evolution of that ideal. It fits PERFECTLY with the music, and sounds very much like "real drums" no matter how hard you might personally be struggling to hear nuances or cymbals within the mix. Not the band's fault, not my fault, get better at listening.
Why does everything have to better or worse than something else to everyone? Just enjoy everything for what it is. The record is definitely a grower and not a shower but it doesn't need to be compared. Queens aren't the same band physically or mentally as the were in 2002. Aren't even the same as 2013...all that means is we'll continue to get fresh music. I'm personally thrilled its nothing like any of the previous records. Anything else would just be stale.
this
Well said THRILL606 and Amen!
Honestly this has to be my second favorite album by them
It’s not that much of a departure, it reminded me of era vulgaris but it brought in some new stuff too, awesome record
yea well said
This song fuckin goes places, man
Sounds like a Them Crooked Vultures song
And that's a positive thing.
hmm depends on what kind of music you were expecting from this album... but then again, expecting a specific sound on a new QOTSA album is flawed thinking as they change their sound so much album to album. I honestly would have preferred more haunting stoner rock but definitely still looking forward to the rest of this album!
tomdesavoix except for the final part...which sounds like Eagles Of Death Metal 😂
Lot of the songs on the new album do
ya josh homme tends to sound like josh homme sometimes.
So much guitar and they all blend so well and the drummer is just doing his thing makes it such a good song
I really dont know whats so wrong about this and why people seem to hate it so much in the comments. For me every album has some sort of theme to it. Like clockwork was so dark and depressing it felt pretty heavy and maybe Josh Homme wanted to try something new. something to lighten up a little. They always experienced a little and they always changed things a little and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. creative people need to try out new things they cant just stay in one mold, its against their nature.
Just enjoy the damn music and dance
Like Clockwork helped me through a really hard time in my life but this cheers me up y'know? .. It's great that he's an artist that doesn't stick to the same old, same old but I've loved his stuff since his Kyuss days.
Nobodys Productions Amen brother
In my own opinion they don't have a bad album, like you said it's called experimentation and like clockwork was depressing because Josh Homme wrote the album after pretty much dying on the operation table. Who cares they still make amazing music I think.
this is literally the greatest masterpiece I've ever heard.
You need to listen to more music
@@rd3914 They’re not wrong though.
Yep you aint listened to much then.
Person: likes song
Sheep: OMG LISTEN TO MORE
Also sheep: this song is best
It's ALMOST as if people have different tastes
@@incandescentadolescents1889 What "Sheep" by Pink Floyd , its a brilliant song, What an Album ANIMALS is a true Masterpiece. Lullabies to Paralyse , QOSA another masterpiece, along with most of their albums too.
Anyone else just totally LOVING this album? The music gods have surely heard our prayers..
I think people is hating the "production" on this album just because they heard it's by mark ronson, chill out, the songs are good, QOTSA are making great music
Or maybe I just find it bland and boring? I like QOTSA but that doesn't mean I have to like everything they make.
What is this 😴😴😴
It's too tame and compressed to my ears, sounds monotone and muffled.
I don't like the production because it sounds like Queens have been restrained when they should be flying
THAT'S THE WORD!! Tame, they sound tame and compressed, thank you
I don't care what anyone says, this album is awesome so far! Can't wait to hear the rest of it!
Justin Light its great
Im with you! It drops on my birthday and I'm purposely waiting for it as a gift from the gods. Screw all these people downloading the leaked copy!
+Filipe I'm your torpedooooo
Macz SCRAAATCH LIKE A CAT AND BARK LIKE BITCH
Like Clockwork is still my favorite album, but this is a VERY close second. QOTSA is like a fine wine, only getting better with age
I really love that bass line!
>THIS ISN'T QUEENS! WTF HAPPENED?! WE WANT THE SAME ALBUM OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
This entire album is 10/10. Some of the best work they've ever written, and probably the most fun I've had listening to a Rock album in years. Stop hating, or stop listening.
Seriously this is arguably the best album they've put out. Most bands this late in their career put out serviceable songs but there are at least 3 or 4 on this album that rival stuff on their earlier material.
Justin Widle I agree and I have heard neither of their albums. Just because of this song.
Justin Widle I WILL CONTINUE LOVING
Haha, anyone who doesn't like things I like is a 'hater'. Right?
dude this album is one of my favs love it
Thier last album took a few listens and then a few more closer listens to realize I was falling for it... And now some of the songs I paid the least attention to are my very favorites. This band is notorious for getting better with each listen, a sure sign of a truly talented group.....
And as far as influences on this track, makes the think budgie meets zeppelin meets qotsa .... Some of the best
5:10 and on.....when that part hits pure awesomeness. I gotta buy this album.
I will never forget the day I saw QOTSA - No one knows, they have changed my musical life. Now I can't imagine my playlist without a single qotsa song there. This album is definitely must have for me. Thank you Qotsa for new inspiration. _\m/
I hope you guys are comin to Hungary too. 25 y my top 5 of bands. And yes genius
There are only 9 songs on the album I didn't think they would release anymore singles early and I honestly didn't want them to
to be fair the songs are pretty long. this album is probably over the 45 minute mark that most normal albums reach (which for me is about 12-15 songs)
TheSroolik 48 minutes!
Yup, longer than Clockwork actually.
i was right weren't i
they gotta tickle the tip, just to keep us hard
I think this was the fastest I've clicked on a notification in a long time.
Paralysis by Analysis ain't that the truth!!!
Paralysis by Analysis Same
Paralysis by Analysis same
Paralysis by Analysis same
Paralysis by Analysis same lol
Here. We. Come.
That bass line adds some incredible depth here.
All I gotta say is THIS ALBUM FINALLY CLICKED! I kept listening over and over, wondering if it was always going feel underwhelmind and disjointed. Then all of a sudden BHAM. FUCK YES! AND I DON'T GIVE A SHIT... "TURNING ON THE SCREW" FROM "ERA VULGARIS"KICKS ASS. WHOEVER DOESN'T LIKE THAT ALBUM. ITS THEIR LOSS! BAMMMMM!
Same here. First listen planted curiosity, by the fifth listen I was singing right along and losing my shit loving it so much. And I NEVER understood why somebody wouldn't like Era Vulgaris.
5:30 is so fundamentally QOTSA. I love hearing the change very time I listen to this song
Once again QOTSA have done did it again. Done made something that I can just listen to over and over again and at a particularly trying time in my life. Thank You.
This album seems to have a perfectly awesome aesthetic of chaotic badassery
This bass is so delightful...
“It ain’t half empty or full
You can break a glass, or drink it all”
favorite line
My life philosophy in one verse!
I never realized that so many of the songs I liked but couldn’t find were all made by this group.
The drums on this kill
its always the same with QOTSA ....you need to listent the music 10 -15 times and than you will understand and like/love ....since over 20 years im a QOTSA fan...the first and the second album i love it at the beginning. since songs for the deaf, i hate every album at the beginning.....but if i listing more and more to the albums, i love them more and more.....QOTSA ,you crazy little pigs...you will be my favorite band, all the time ;) see us in munich :) hey play for me an old song : everybody knows that youre insane ..because i know you are! hehehehe ;)
I still come back after 7 years. 2017 was the best year of my life. I remember buying this on launch. i graduated highschool with honors, had a job, a car, was going to college for HVAC, got a girl. Then it went to shit in 2018. Now I'm homeless. 2024. Everything will be alright just gotta keep going. I will be back except the girl. I'm focused on myself now.
Drugs are a hell of a drug brother..
It does grow on you. When you've been around since the 90s, u have to evolve! I am a fan that returned to Queens..doesn't make me any less.. I "can't quit them baby.."
QUEENS!!!
I first heard this on the forza horizons 4 xs radio and this song is so good
Me too
One of the few remaining bands in the eyes of mainstream that rock hard and keep that sexy spirit alive...
People who are hating the production are always hating something everywhere. This sounds fresh as fuck.
Tiago I LOVED how they made this album. I love this song in particular
Some people are only happy when it rains.
Fuck the haters this shit rocks.
Rabbit X 13 ye.
fuck yes it does. all these whiny ass bitches need to fuck off
Tacit Blue Yeah boi💪💪
you rock mate! XD
killinthepit probably came from God Emperor Anthony
