Queens of the Stone Age - Villains (August 25th, 2017) Album • Page 14

man i cannot relate with not adoring like clockwork, my absolute favorite

 

it has some of their best and a handful of their absolute worst. they don’t have any bad records but it’s certainly one of the least good ones

 

I'm a sucker for the first three records and I put ...LC right up there with them.

 

Era Vulgaris and Rated R are my favorite QOTSA records by a decent margin, so the fact that this has been getting a lot of comparisons to the former is really exciting to me. only full song I have heard so far is Emotion Sickness and I really like it and it def scratches that itch a bit. very eager to dive in soon.

 

I wish Jon Theodore would get some space to go off. His Mars Volta drumming is some of my favorite

 

man his drumming is one of the best parts of the album

 

After my second listen yeah the closer is so sick

 

Rated R, LTP and Clockwork are my fav

 

without ranking this one yet:
lullabies to paralyze
songs for the deaf
self titled
era vulgaris
rated r
like clockwork








villains

them crooked vultures probably slots between sftd and s/t

 

Songs for the Deaf

Rated R

Villians

I didn't realize consensus was so down on Villians until joining this thread and logging the new album on RYM

 

it’s like a solid C+/B- with some great songs but something has to be their worst and it’s easily that

 

iirc this is because they tune the low E down to A and it’s heavy as shit

 

Like Clockwork
Songs For the Deaf
Era Vulgaris
Lullabies to Paralyze
Rated R
Qotsa
Villians

 

self-titled is so insanely good y’all are crazy

 

Songs for the Deaf (you can't even hear it!)
S/T
Rated R
...Like Clockwork
(TCV)
Era Vulgaris
Lullabies to Paralyze
Villains

S/T is very slept on. So many classics on that record. Era and Lullabies are the hardest to place for me. Era wins right now because I'm obsessed with Turnin' on the Screw and Misfit Love. Lullabies has always felt a little bloated to me, but I love a great deal of that bloat. Villains is an easy least favorite, but has some undeniably great songs (Feet Can't Fail Me, Un-Reborn Again, Hideaway, and The Evil Has Landed all rule).

 

they debuted paper machete and carnavoyeur last night. josh played a 9 string guitar for machete lmao

 

Love to see it

 

Put me in the fans of Villains pile please.

Rated R and SFTD are my favourites, but that’s probably only because I’ve never given time to the three that came after SFTD. Nor the debut. I really need to get round to them.

 

Yes. Yes you do ;)

 

I'll need to solidify a ranking, but ...Like Clockwork and Lullabies are my top 2.

 

I agree, it's mainly because how good the other albums are that I have to rank it so low. Villains really is their only album I don't enjoy as much as the others. But even that has some really good songs.

To seize all your demons, carpe demon.

By the way I somehow managed to snag a GITD copy from parkave's online store on Saturday and it's already shipped. Apparently it sounds better than most glow in the dark records - has that been your experience with this one, @Drew Beringer?

 

wasn’t into carnavoyeur and the chorus’ hook was stuck in my head all weekend
