Queens of the Stone Age: Album
built 285 days ago
In mid-2000, Queens of the Stone Age issued their sophomore album, R (as in the movie rating; some promo copies were distributed with the original title, II), before appearing on that year's Ozzfest tour. By that point, drummer Hernandez had been replaced by a tag-team combo of Gene Troutman and Nicky Lucero. The group built a healthy buzz courtesy of accolades from such renowned publications as Rolling Stone, and due to good old-fashioned touring. 2001 saw the group perform at the massive Rock in Rio festival (after which Oliveri was arrested by the Brazilian police for performing nude) and a spot on the year's Ozzfest. The same year, Homme and Oliveri put together yet another volume of the Desert Sessions series, while QOTSA assembled a third studio album.

Queens of the Stone Age are back with their most groundbreaking work to date, Lullabies To Paralyze. Their new offering is a powerful, sonic, ride that further demonstrates how relevant this band is to today's music scene. Joined by ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons' Seattle's finest, Marl Lanegan and a few other surprise guests, this is THE epic, rock album that music listeners have been waiting for!

Minus serial nudist and core member Nick Oliveri, Queens of the Stone Age return with this their fourth album. And what an almighty return it is! Although ‘Lullabies To Paralyze’ may narrowly fail to reach the same dizzy zeniths of their 2000 masterpiece ‘Rated R’, it isn’t too far off. A concept album of sorts, the fourteen breathtaking tracks touch upon the darker side of the human psyche and are imbued with a somewhat perverted fairy-tale mysticism.

AMG Artist Pick The second Queens of the Stone Age album, R (as in the movie rating; its title was changed from II at the last minute before release), makes its stoner rock affiliations clear right from the opening track. The lyrics of "Feel Good Hit of the Summer" consist entirely of a one-line list of recreational drugs that Josh Homme rattles off over and over, a gag that gets pretty tiresome by the end of the song (and certainly doesn't need the reprise that follows "In the Fade").

The Palm Desert sunrise of Era Vulgaris's psilocybined "Turning the Screw" encapsulates the entire mood of the fifth Queens of the Stone Age disc. An oily garage groove bound to churning guitar melodicism and the swirled multi-track of king Queen Josh Homme's narcoleptic croon, the song is as paradoxical as the album it leads off and the man who midwifed it -- elastic yet concise, possessing a back-row goofiness but tinged with brooding complexity, robotically meticulous yet glistening with the loose sinew of organic growth. The free-flow kinetics of the rockers and the sleekly sexual-precision jams that interweave throughout Vulgaris create an album that alternately rocks harder than anything since the Nick Oliveri-fueled thrashers of Songs for the Deaf
