My favourite album is Rated R even if I really love LTP and Era Vulgaris. But for me the album which represents the best this band is Era Vulgaris, especially Sick Sick Sick. Anyway Someone's in the Wolf is my favourite song of them, and it's fucking awesome live ! QOTSA FTW
you know, i have come to the conclusion that there are simply 2 kinds of QoTSA fans: songs for the deaf fanatics and lullabies fanatics. rated R was good and all, but those two defined what they are. they defined their finalized art direction in their work. they showed the expert organization of a brilliant writer, and they symbolized the missing change needed from grunge to post 2k rock. they are the perfect band for the era.
@louisalive their first album was more of a demo... it lacked any organization, anything that would set itself apart from 90's grunge, pre-indie, etc. it was back before it knew what it wanted to be. rated R introduced the world, and songs for the deaf gave the worldd perfection. lullabies actually set the bar even higher for perfection, which i always found hilarious.
what are you talking about, theyre first 2 albums are easily better than anything theyve done, rated r is excellent. put era in the shit bin with foo fighters lame stuff where it belongs.
@JHo4God i'm sure because your opinion is perfect in every way and will be regarded by all as their opinion from now on in fact lets make the cult of JHo4God where we will all stare at that single comment as our bible.
remember to base music judgement on its originality, its structure, and its place in its medium (one song may be good on stage, but terribly placed in an album, or vice versa)
my opinion is as perfect as yours sgt. smug. r and st are their only albums which sound great on cd AND live, i cant get into lullabies or sftd or era.
@JHo4God R is really good, but it has issues on how it ends... it just didn't have an ending that made sense, though it did sort of lend itself to the "we're a bizarre band!" aspect... songs for the deaf and lullabies kept the oddity, but they wrote albums around it. the former being a radio clusterfuck that changed from channel to channel on a demented road trip of some kind, while lullabies was literally a montoge of different surreal states. i'll write more about my theory below this comment.
@dante224real1 the idea of lullabies is to personify every possible dream-state. lullaby as the intro was prefect personification of drifting into this dream-state of looking for his lost love. then the story gets more and more twisted and lusty as it threads through the states of paranoia, being a predator, being the prey in a nightmareish environment, and returning through a veil of madness and spirits to regain consciousness, where the long slow goodbye returns the audience to reality.
@dante224real1 i used to be deadset on songs for the deaf being my favorite of theirs, but as the years go by i find myself going back to lullabies more and more.
i think when its all said and done and someone 50 years from now takes the time to look back, your statement will ring true. all their albums are outstanding, but for the solid focus and the way the album flows beginning to end, lullabies is definitely their finest work.
lullabies to paralyze is their best album. i will never fall from that statement. it had the most focus on where their songs were placed, it felt like a dream in the midsection and awakening in the last act (well.... last song)
there has never been a better modern rock album imo, and it comes in 2nd in my favorite albums ever list. (dont worry guys, "songs for the deaf" is like 8th place on the list)
This is when they were at their absolute best. The album was fuckin unreal, with the edition of Al on bass (exponentially better bassist than Nick) and Tash on the keys, they became the best band in the world. Fuck everything else. Fuck Foo Fighters, Rise Against and all those other lame fucking bands. No one holds a candle to Queens live.
@jactosentalerant69 :O dude. rise against is pretty lame. but come on. dave grohl is a monster on stage. especially when he gets put behind a drum kit
@chickenmonkeystudios He is a fucking beast! But I have to agree with that dude QOTSA are fucking beast, anyway they are all buds and if you want the whole pack go listen to Them Crooked Vultures :D
yes i think this album, and line-up, was awesome. but look at it - without nick they lost all theyre balls. and shuman is a moron as well, they should of stuck with alain.
@jactosentalerant69 Although I agree about what you said about Queens, Foo Fighters are still a fantastic band. And now a days you have to respect the good bands you have considering there are very few left. Queens are by far one of the few amazing bands left but to deny other bands of their talent is the exact reason why rock is dying off so fast.
@jactosentalerant69 I couldn't care less for Rise Against, but sir.. have you seen Foo Fighters live? Because if you have you are not the brightest kid in town.. if you have not I don't think you have any idea what you're talking about.. Foo Fighters rock giant ass even if you think their songs are too 'poppy' they give you a slash hammer reversed facepalm once they are on stage
Josh is such a genius musician, fuck those people who talk'bout drugs first everytime.. listen the guy, feel the song slaping your face and your mind.
Gotta love how people try and have an actual intellectual discussion in the comments on Queen's videos. Stoned people are just looking to talk about shit lol
@TaffyRaphie i like both of them Almost equally but i prefer Lullabies because of the melodies, and i like songs for the deaf because it sounds kinda raw. It depends on my mood, but i prefer lullabies. AND SIX SHOOTER SUCKS ! :D
@markkalady agreed, but buy that I meant that on any given day I'd rather listen to Lullabies over half the time. I love each album they've made to death though. I haven't got the self titled album though, but I plan on getting the re-issue coming out next month
@TaffyRaphie #10: mezmerize/hypnotize (system of a down, and yes its 1 album) #9: californication (red hot chili peppers) #8: songs for the deaf (QoTSA) #7: Hemispheres (rush) #6: dark side of the moon (pink floyd) #5: demon days (gorillaz) #4: black holes and revelations (muse) #3: a farewell to kings (rush) #2: lullabies to paralyze (QoTSA) #1: pretty. odd. (panic at the disco).
my #1 is in deserving of a heavy, paragraphic explanation, but its soo enjoyable, and brilliantly written, so no.
@chickenmonkeystudios here's a simple reason: its the happiest album ever created, with some of the most well-produced, well-written, well-defined, and original instrumental line-up seen past 1970. there hasn't been an album quite like it, ever...
@TaffyRaphie Lullabies and Songs for the Deaf are two very different albums to be loved for very different reasons, but if your point is that Lullabies is under-rated, I 100% agree, anyone who gives it a chance will be consumed by it
@spiros11386 I was just saying IMO that it's better. but I definitely think that Lullabies is very under rated. for that matter, all of their albums are.
@dante224real1 Its because of its complexity, details, harmonics and haunted woods atmosphere. This and The Blood is Love are very similar songs because of that, they are the most complex QOTSA songs
I've seen Queens 3 times, gonna see them in August again but this is one show I really really wish I could have gone to. The set, the playing... perfect.
homme has this has this oddly delicate yet testosterone drenched voice that floats and mingles with the harder edges of the music...what i mean to say is that it gets my juices flowing...creative and otherwise.
such a cool sound.....I could see how their melodies can be like a fine wine....gets better with every listen....I really dig all their music from Rated R through Era Vulgaris....just cool ass music
@RMNTNayn hmmm i dont think I have that one...im gonna go search for it right NOW....I am sure I have heard some songs off of it before though....maybe live
@Metamorphosis33 But it was only Josh. So I guess I could see where you got that. But there's no doubt that Josh was singing, and that it's a QOTSA album. There's a reason why they are rereleasing it as a QOTSA albumlol
@RMNTNayn ya i listened to it and its definitely Josh singing....you ever listened to any of Kyuss old albums....not Josh singing but you can still here his thick bassy guitar riffs throughout all their music
@Metamorphosis33 There is a split EP which was the end of Kyuss and the beginning of Queens of the Stone Age. That may be what you're thinking about, but the album Queens of the Stone Age self titled was Josh Homme all the way through
@Metamorphosis33 ok wait hold on just a sec. queens fist official album was self titled. before that they released a split ep with kyuss with 3 kyuss tracks and 3 qotsa tracks, but thats not offically a qotsa release and it wasnt a kyuss album titled qotsa either. it was a split album. 3 of the songs were performed by kyuss and 3 by qotsa lineup. this was a couple years after the breakup of kyuss and a year before the beginnings of qotsa making it a legendar album, even though it only had 6songs
Homme and the rest of Queens of the Stone Age are some of the most innovative musicians around. its so nice to hear these riffs and time signatures that weve never heard before
why is it that this song sounds better every time i hear it???? when i first heard it, i was confused, until i started absorbing the wonderful abnormal quality of perfect abysmal beats accompanied with professional vocals and some of the most complex rythm guitar playing i have ever heard. this song is pure genius. a song that i like more each time i hear it.
@dante224real1 I hated Lullabies to Paralyze when I heard it too, I was very disappointed with this album, just started to like it some years before, it had to be kept in the oven to get good. I think it was because they songs changed their style a bit, they started to look more produced. The 1st album was more pure rock style. The 2nd was more punk style, they sounded more Californian. Songs for the deaf is the transition between Rated R and LTP style.
@dante224real1 Every QoTSA song sounds better every time you hear it :D That's the best thing about this band. It's because they have many layers of parts, and sometimes you focus on different ones when you listen to their songs.
I completely agree, the first time I heard this song it just sounded like a mess, I didn't even notice the awesome riff. I wish I could appreciate a songs awesomeness on the first listen :(
@TaffyRaphie i think i misspoke. by complex, i was referring to the writing of 6ths in a modern rock piece, and baking it sound really great. the other complexities would be the actual progressions. if you ever learned the song, it is alot more complicated than their other pieces. i mean, its not dream theater or anything, but it has alot more going on than just a bunch of 4/4 notes.
@dante224real1 ah, I see, I don't really know anything about musical theory and I can only tell the difference between 4/4 and 3/4, so I didn't pick up on that. Cool to know.
i never thought you could change the tempo of this song and make sound just as trippy and awesome, but what do you know! QotSA is being tattued on my forearm when i get the money...
They need to play this more live. And "The Blood is Love". And "Tangled up in Plaid". Basically, I'm saying I absolutely love Lullabies to Paralyze. People who hold up Songs for the Deaf as their greatest work confuse me.
Damn, I was supposed to give you a thumbs up, but pressed the wrong button, sorry.
I agree, I like Songs for the Deaf, I really do, but I think both Lullabies to Paralyze and Era Vulgaris (I know some will want to hang me for this) are better than Songs for the Dead.
I agree, songs for the deaf have the most hits and the most catchy songs, and I think, for the audience, the people who aren't much in to qotsa, it's the best, but if you learn about their music and other stuff, I think lullabies is the best, and I also think rated R is better then songs for the deaf, and I don't own the first album to my hard regret, but I think that one is also better then songs for the deaf, but it's a personal opinion, so please don't judge me ^^
I certainly prefer Lullabies to Songs for the Deaf, but for me the best album is the self-titled one. I'm really glad they're re-releasing it, as it probably means another tour :-D
I do prefer "Songs for the Deaf" over "Lullabies to Paralyze", but it's a damn close call. I love "R" aswell and "Era Vulgaris" has grown on me quite a bit since I got it, but I guess it's the more straightforward rock of "Songs" that simply appeals to me more.
if you like this you should check out a new band light grenades

@Metamorphosis33 Um....What about the self titled? That's easily one of the best.

@Metamorphosis33 It's easily one of the best. I'd definitely place it above Lullabies and Era Vulgaris without any qualms whatsoever.

@RMNTNayn actually what your talking about is the Kyuss album queens of the Stone age....Kyuss was wherev Josh played guitar and Chris Garcia sang
Metamorphosis33 1 year ago
@Metamorphosis33 Um....no. It's a QOTSA album.
RMNTNayn 1 year ago
@Metamorphosis33 But it was only Josh. So I guess I could see where you got that. But there's no doubt that Josh was singing, and that it's a QOTSA album. There's a reason why they are rereleasing it as a QOTSA albumlol

@RMNTNayn ya i listened to it and its definitely Josh singing....you ever listened to any of Kyuss old albums....not Josh singing but you can still here his thick bassy guitar riffs throughout all their music
Metamorphosis33 1 year ago
@Metamorphosis33 There is a split EP which was the end of Kyuss and the beginning of Queens of the Stone Age. That may be what you're thinking about, but the album Queens of the Stone Age self titled was Josh Homme all the way through
antihax91 1 year ago
@Metamorphosis33 ok wait hold on just a sec. queens fist official album was self titled. before that they released a split ep with kyuss with 3 kyuss tracks and 3 qotsa tracks, but thats not offically a qotsa release and it wasnt a kyuss album titled qotsa either. it was a split album. 3 of the songs were performed by kyuss and 3 by qotsa lineup. this was a couple years after the breakup of kyuss and a year before the beginnings of qotsa making it a legendar album, even though it only had 6songs

Homme and the rest of Queens of the Stone Age are some of the most innovative musicians around. its so nice to hear these riffs and time signatures that weve never heard before
bassm29 2 years ago 7
why is it that this song sounds better every time i hear it???? when i first heard it, i was confused, until i started absorbing the wonderful abnormal quality of perfect abysmal beats accompanied with professional vocals and some of the most complex rythm guitar playing i have ever heard. this song is pure genius. a song that i like more each time i hear it.

@dante224real1 Same here, except for me, the first time I heard it, the audio quality was terrible, now its perfect... I have weird speakers.

@dante224real1 I hated Lullabies to Paralyze when I heard it too, I was very disappointed with this album, just started to like it some years before, it had to be kept in the oven to get good. I think it was because they songs changed their style a bit, they started to look more produced. The 1st album was more pure rock style. The 2nd was more punk style, they sounded more Californian. Songs for the deaf is the transition between Rated R and LTP style.

dante224real1 1 year ago
@dante224real1 Every QoTSA song sounds better every time you hear it :D That's the best thing about this band. It's because they have many layers of parts, and sometimes you focus on different ones when you listen to their songs.

@dante224real1 Complex rythm guitar? it doesn't sound that complex...
Don't get me wrong, this is one of my favourites by them, but it doesn't seem that complicated, am I wrong?
TaffyRaphie 1 year ago
@TaffyRaphie i think i misspoke. by complex, i was referring to the writing of 6ths in a modern rock piece, and baking it sound really great. the other complexities would be the actual progressions. if you ever learned the song, it is alot more complicated than their other pieces. i mean, its not dream theater or anything, but it has alot more going on than just a bunch of 4/4 notes.
dante224real1 1 year ago
@dante224real1 ah, I see, I don't really know anything about musical theory and I can only tell the difference between 4/4 and 3/4, so I didn't pick up on that. Cool to know.

They need to play this more live. And "The Blood is Love". And "Tangled up in Plaid". Basically, I'm saying I absolutely love Lullabies to Paralyze. People who hold up Songs for the Deaf as their greatest work confuse me.
Panserborne 2 years ago 6
Damn, I was supposed to give you a thumbs up, but pressed the wrong button, sorry.
I agree, I like Songs for the Deaf, I really do, but I think both Lullabies to Paralyze and Era Vulgaris (I know some will want to hang me for this) are better than Songs for the Dead.
Hargiwald 2 years ago 3
I agree, songs for the deaf have the most hits and the most catchy songs, and I think, for the audience, the people who aren't much in to qotsa, it's the best, but if you learn about their music and other stuff, I think lullabies is the best, and I also think rated R is better then songs for the deaf, and I don't own the first album to my hard regret, but I think that one is also better then songs for the deaf, but it's a personal opinion, so please don't judge me ^^
wouterdesmedt 2 years ago
I certainly prefer Lullabies to Songs for the Deaf, but for me the best album is the self-titled one. I'm really glad they're re-releasing it, as it probably means another tour :-D
thatisRON 2 years ago 2
I do prefer "Songs for the Deaf" over "Lullabies to Paralyze", but it's a damn close call. I love "R" aswell and "Era Vulgaris" has grown on me quite a bit since I got it, but I guess it's the more straightforward rock of "Songs" that simply appeals to me more.
