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

[Strat]

Also, I've never listened to EODM. I like Them Crooked Vultures though.

If you do check out EODM, just listen to Peace, Love, and Death Metal.

Totally fun ridiculous garage rock.

[LetMeSleep]

I'm not super familiar with the other albums beyond the first three or four

You're not missing anything.

I dunno. I listened to Era Vulgaris today for the first time and can see myself reaching for it again. Yet that one seems pretty maligned among the fans so what do I know?

A lot of people seem to enjoy their last few records, so I wouldn't place too much stock in my opinion either. I don't even like Songs for the Deaf that much.

I'm half and half with Spenno. I love S/T and Rated R, and then I'd rank ...Like Clockwork next.

Nice. I think I want to take a tour through QOTSA first. Get more familiar with their stuff. But when I'm ready, I'll totes check out Peace, Love and Death Metal.

If anyone has a presale code they wouldn't mind sharing, please send me a PM. I'm looking for 1 ticket to 1 show.

Rated R it is then....

[LetMeSleep]

Start with ST and work through

Oh, yeah, I have that one and I love it. That one and the one with No One Knows on it.

Era Vulgaris will forever be their best album.

[Birds in Hell]

You guys all know how I feel about this.

I don't. Newcomer to this thread.

Oh!

I think the self-titled debut is their best record by a huge margin and it's been downhill (to varying degrees) ever since.

[LoathedVermin72]

S/T is certainly fantastic.

[Dev]

This track needs Scott Reeder.

While I love Reeder's playing this isn't his ballpark.

I replied to this but I don't see it.. Reeder could bring them to the right game.

nah. maybe he doesn't belong in Qotsa. they need someone nick though. someone with the chunky stoner sound.

[LoathedVermin72]

They announced a Red Rocks show. I've already seen them twice but I think I might go anyway.

[Superblood Wolfmoon]

amazing how weak the new bass player is.

Mikey's been the bass player since 2007...he's not new. And he's an outstanding bass player as evidenced by his playing on the last album.

In short, you don't know WTF you're talking about.

I'm well aware how long he has been the bass player.

Its dance-able, its groovy, Homme sounds great on it, and that guitar riff under all that fuzz is great.

Yeah, Strat. It's going to be huge. And I don't think musically it's that different. I hear Sick, Sick, Sick and Smooth Sailing/Fairweather Friends QOTSA in there.

^this - it's going to kick ass live.

The pendulum was always going to swing back towards upbeat and fun after the epic masterpiece that was LC.

One thing I love about QOTSA is that all of their albums have a different sound and feel to them - this one is probably going to be their 'Backspacer' (but hopefully much better).

I really think SFTD and EV stand head and shoulders above the rest. But they're all great records (except for LC, which is still good).

I do like their self-titled, without a doubt. We had it on a jukebox at an old bar I worked at. "You Can't Quit Me Baby" went on nearly every night when we'd start closing down. Got us through many a bar cleaning session.

How about a career-spanning top 10? Here's mine:

A Song For The Dead
