I can't believe everyone's rankings of QOTSA songs and albums is all over the place. It's almost like they're an awesome band with great songs and albums across their entire catalog! Wow!

I gotta say.
The Way You Used To Do is starting to grow in me.

I'm going to work my way through these guy's discography this weekend.

I don't know enough of their stuff.

I started with the debut at work this arvo and enjoyed the tunes I heard before I left.

But in fairness, most stuff sounds good on a Friday afternoon with a beer in hand and the weekend upon us, eh?

I've listened to it 3 or 4 times and it's...it just sounds so dull. It never evolves. The production is so muted. It never "kicks in."

Bring back Oliveri.

I'd say the bast way to listen to QOTSAs catalog, is foing backwards.
Starting with Clockwork and going to S/T.

It's not their best work but it's pretty good.. I'm sure after a few listens I'll be all about it

This is my complaint as well.

I agree. Its so polished and numb, so poppy, its trying so hard to be sexy and catchy. I hated it.

My only complaint. This and the fact that there is no descent bridge, and a repetitive riff all along the song.

But it is catchy.

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

Totally fun ridiculous garage rock.

Totally agree with this. There are some good songs on the second album but you get the best stuff on PLDM.

Has this been posted? If yes, then apologies.

Speaking in Tongues is one of the best things Josh has ever been involved in

Been binging the QOTSA discography now for the last few days and I keep coming back to Era Vulgaris. Some might call those songs cold and mehanicial, but it really hits a sweet spot for me with this band.

Stands outs are Misfit Love and Sick, Sick, Sick

Give me a few months and I'll rank

Too much RM for zeb. He would be lost it over the Cornell threads.
