How to Handle a Rope / The Queens of the Stone Age Thread

[BurtReynolds]

They're the ultimate in post-grunge.

[KurtLeon]

Yeah, so much snarl and swagger here:

Most of what you see, my dear, is purely for show
Because not everything that goes around comes back around, you know
Holding on too long is just a fear of letting go
Because not everything that goes around comes back around, you know
One thing that is clear: it’s all down hill from here

I'm gonna dance my way into a noose!

When you say is dead and gone, yes I know, you're wrong
Cut and slash, sharpest knife, it won't die

i'll dance my way into my bed crying.

AND:

Tonight
I'm gonna put up a fight
I'm gonna get a reaction that I'm right
From the day
Slap my dick in his face
I demand satisfaction
For the night
To trick them all because of which is why I'm ashamed
Petty disguises more like skins, a distinction, vice
Drink the kool-aid
And swallow the pills
Say that you don't
And you won't but you will
Busted

Sounds very snarled and swagger to me.

[KurtLeon]

S/T:

Is a good first album, although repetitive and kinda dull (to me)
Best songs: Regular John, Mexicola, Walkin' in the sidewalks, You Can't Quit Me
Worst songs: Give The Mule, You Would Know, Handmodel

3/5 Stars


Rated R:
An improvement in some ways, but Nicks participacion in this kinda rubs me in the wrong way. I prefere QOTSA when is Joshs QOTSA. (How come that Infinity didn't get in the track list still baffles me)
Best songs: Better Living Through Chemistry, I Think i lost My headache, Lost Art Of keeping a Secret, In The Fade
Worst songs: Tension Head, Feel Good Hit of The Summer,

2.5/5 Stars

Songs For The Deaf
Everything they did on Rated R, they did better with SFTD, including Nicks songs, that I can stand now.
Best songs: No one knows, Go with the flow, Song For The Dead, God Is In The Radio
Worst songs: Six Shooter. Thats it.

4/5 Stars

Lullabies to paralize
Can't say much, but I love this album, its dark, experimental and kinda on your face all the time. And finally, only Josh songs (with a single Mark one)
Best songs: Someone's In The Wolf, The Blood is Love, Burn The Witch, Tangled Up In Plaid
Worst songs: Killer scene

5/5 Stars

Era Vulgaris
A little step back from Lullabies, but EV is weird, crazy, dirty and, still, amazing. And the Fun Machine not in the track list, why?
Best songs: Sick Sick Sick, Make it Wit Chu, I'm Designer, Misfit FUCKING Love, Battery Acid, 3's and 7's
Worst songs: Run pig Run

4.5/5 Stars

...Like Clockwork
A masterpiece. I love about every single thing about this album, artwork, composition, lyrics, the tima that it came out.
Best songs: I Appear Missing, I Sat by The Ocean, Smooth Sailing, Keep Your Eyes Peeled
Worst songs: Kalopsia

5/5 Stars

Villains
Fun, entertaingn and good to dance to. It isn't trying to be anything it is not, and everything it tries to be, it succeds.
Best songs: The Way You Used to do, Fortress, Head Like a Haunted House, Un-Reborn Again
Worst songs: Feet don't fail me.

4/5 Stars

[Jammer XCI]

This board provides some the most hilariously bad takes ever

Rated R the worst? Get the fuck outta here

[Dev]

i agree with jammer just this one time.

[LoathedVermin72]

In no universe is Feel Good Hit of the Summer one of the worst songs on Rated R

[VinylGuy]

Rated R the worst?
Tension Head? Feel Good? worst songs? whats happening....

[Strat]

Feel good hit is a top Queens song, you fucking rubes.

[dpupenya]

you fucking rubes.

This pretty much sums up the last 55 pages

[Norah]

Who the fuck are Shinedown? Just that name makes me want to punch them in the face.

just think of any generic early aughts meathead rock band and you've got them

[KurtLeon]

Fell Good is just not my thing.
When I had a QOTSA cover band, we played it like, twice at max.

[makeshift]

I dig that Hernandez dude on the first record. Just has a groove to his playing

[Birds in Hell]

I dig that Hernandez dude on the first record. Just has a groove to his playing

Their only essential record, IMO.

I knew a girl who I guess befriended Shinedown somehow. She had horrible tattoos that were each submitted to her by the band members. One sort of looked like a stick figure hanging from a tree if I remember correctly. Just awful stuff. I wonder if she's still into the band?

[daft twat]

Did you guys see Homme kick that female photographer in the head? Jesus Christ!

Yeah, saw that...he cut his forehead too.

[LoathedVermin72]

Good lord, why the fuck did he do that?!
