I learned what subjectivity in music was when I was, like, 15? You're nearly fifty years old and you think "I only like good music" isn't an extremely cringey thing to say. I think boomer Facebook groups might be more your speed. What a colossal fuckwit.

I have seen derp ranking polls where it isn't even listed at all. People think it's a demo tape or doesn't count or something. So fucking dumb.

Rated R isn't as good as I remember. However, it has 2-4 of their very best songs.

Feels like a young bang not knowing how to write songs quite yet. They feel like loose jams, albeit very cool ones.

i been watching a few of the shows from this year, and they are tight.

Josh seems very happy to be there too. He seems to be in a better place than last tour.

He looks like he's having a blast. Last time I saw them he got absolutely trashed.

VinylGuy · Post by **VinylGuy** » Fri July 07, 2023 8:31 pm

last time for me was...2014? the best i saw from those guys.

But yeah, he looks great now.

btw, Obscenery - Paper Machete is a great two punch

I'm really loving the new album- I'm nodding my head through pretty much the whole thing. Sounds nice and heavy and groovy again.

FWIW,

I agree SFTD and LC are top tier.

But I really really like Era Vulgaris for its groove, particularly after the inconsistent LTP.

Suture up your future and Misfit Love are all time for me in the QOTSA catalogue.

I think they recaptured some of that vibe on In Times New Roman...

The Era Vulgaris era band sounded epic as well.

I always find myself rewatching this, admittedly from self titled, but still killer.

And here is another from the same era. The quality aint as good, though the performance is fantasic.

I really love Obscenery, Paper Machete, Negative Space, Carnavoyeur and Emotion Sickness from the new album.

The other ones, im not quite there yet.
