I'm telling a lot of friends that are not that much into QOTSA, and they're loving it.

I listened again this morning after a few weeks off and it's a good album. Better than a couple but mid tier.

I'm at the show right now and like every song is from the last two albums and now I agree with Dev

This band has lost its balls

Okay, unless it's Kanye, Steely Dan, or Springsteen, I think I'm retired from concerts.

Red rocks is not a good venue for a rock band though. Especially if your complaint is "they lost their balls"

The sound sucks there when it comes to most rock bands.

The acoustics did suck, but that wasn't why the set was ball-less - it's the songs themselves. Track after track of weak, safe, bland LC and Villains drudgery. There'd be some spark when they broke out an older song, but it felt like lip service. It didn't seem like their heart was in that music anymore. They've lost their punk/stoner edge. Those old songs had meat and swagger the new ones just don't. They used to be one of the best bands on the planet - now they're merely a decent rock band.

Villains is out a month orso, maybe 1.5 month even...

Anyhow, still don't think this is a great QOTSA record. Still just mere good..a typical B- record. Its a good record with some highlights but my opinion didnt really changed over this month. Still think its their weakest record. And I have this feeling that Im not the only one, most of my friends think its kinda meh..

And there's not much buzz anymore...

Or is that just me?

I never liked it..i havent picked it up since its release. There are a few ok songs there but its a bummer, boring and repetitive.

Fuck Ronson.

Not just you! I haven't had a desire to listen to it. its not bad or anything but its kind of there. i hope they dont take another 4 years for the next

I hope there isn't a next. For the love of God, stop desecrating this corpse.

Rangi Guy · Post by **Rangi Guy** » Sat October 14, 2017 5:56 pm

Still regularly playing and enjoying the hell out of this

Shut up.

Homme should have gone solo after his health scare. He just isn't the Queens frontman he used to be, as much as he tries. Even his stage banter feels totally different now.

Strat · Post by **Strat** » Sat October 14, 2017 6:24 pm

Thats fine that a band changes and matures. Just cause you hate it doesnt mean he should stop being the "queens frontman"

Besides....Like Clockwork was awesome. Eat it.
