The Analog Cub Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 This great band deserves its own thread. Been listening to In Times New Roman on repeat. This album kicks some serious ass! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ST3V Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 I'm putting it off for a little while, gonna come back to it in hopes that it draws me in a little more. I really like half of it the other half seems to be not very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 This is a band I always feel like I need to check out more. As a guitarist, I hear a lot about their tones and use of fuzz, the whole stoner rock thing. One of my favorite pedal companies even makes a Big Muff style fuzz tweaked specifically for this type of music, and references QOTSA as an example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely a unique tone, I always know when a Josh Homme song comes on. if you want suggestions start with one of their first 3 albums. I feel those are the best for first time listeners 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An alternative, less daunting journey if you don't want to run through the whole discography might be the album from Them Crooked Vultures. It's basically a more virtuosic Queens record because it's got Grohl and John Paul Jones backing up Homme. https://youtu.be/t7_PQiEIL8c 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I literally just started my first time through In Times New Roman on the ride to work this morning. It's going to be a while until I form any opinions. Last week I looked on this forum for a thread like this, to see what Rush listening fans thought, and didn't see one. I bought it anyway based on other reviews and feedback. I didn't like Villians much but read this was more like Era Vulgaris and Like Clockwork. Like Clockwork is an amazing album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Clockwork is my favorite. That one and Songs for the Deaf are likely their "peaks" by general consensus, but I'm absolutely loving the new album. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible airwave Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I hear they basically owned Glastonbury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Union 5-3992 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 The new album is definitely a step up from Villains. The three singles have been stuck in my head for weeks, particularly Emotion Sickness. It'll likely settle around the middle of the road for their discography for me, but that's still a fantastic spot to be given their catalog.

stoopid Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 First couple times through and it's better than Villians, not better than SFtD or LC which are their best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) I prefer Kyuss (John on guitar ). A fan since early 90s. Followed the splinter bands ... Unida and Slo Burn. The common thread: John Garcia, lead singer. Never a fan of QOTSA Edited June 27, 2023 by custom55 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wandering Hermit Posted June 28, 2023 Share Posted June 28, 2023 Love the new disk. I wish we could get a second Crooked Vultures effort too..... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
