Damn the 2nd half of I appear missing made an already great song even better.

Not a huge fan of keep your eyes peeled or clockwork but they're growing on me a little. If I had a tail is my favorite so far

 

[Lonestar]

Yeah, the I Appear Missing guy, from what my gut feeling is, is a hopeless romantic. Falls in love (the rising feeling) only to get dropped (splat), then picks himself up again, and does it all over again.

The Eyes Peeled guy, looks like Homme, and after reading his death story from knee surgery, the Eyes Peeled guy has a knee/leg brace on, reinforcing my opinion.

The other 2, I have no idea. Creepy "guy", perhaps looking for love but only can destroy the other person. Blue Hair lady(?) just wants to burn it all, even if she dies, similar to the Eyes Peeled guy.

Actually, the guy in I Appear Missing is supposedly about Homme's near death experience. The lyrics are quite dark and brilliant indeed.

 

[Dilly]

I want to marry this album.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

Just got back from the LA show. Absolutely incredible and the house about came down when they ended with song for the dead. Off the top of my head they played:

Entire new album minus fair weather friends
Millionaire
No one knows
First it giveth
Song for the dead
Make it whichu
Go with the flow
I think I lost my headache
Turning on a screw
Sick sick sick
I never came
Little sister
Feel good hit of the summer

The new album sounds even better live. God bless you queens!

 

[cacophony]

god damn that setlist

 

[squidhands]

I'm pretty sure I Appear Missing is now one of my all time favorite QOTSA songs. God damn.

Can't fucking wait for them to come here for ACL. gah!

Nice, man! I was there too! Lucked out and got in the pit. Song for the dead fucking killed. Everyone went insane down there. I fucking loved, loved loved I appear missing live. Jesus.

Oh, and If I had a tail. I'm still on a high after that show.

i'm still marveling at how good and tight the show was. did it sound to you (or anyone who watched the vid) that first it giveth was tuned incorrectly? just sounded slightly off to me. i also heard that joey castillo and nick were in attendance! i wish nick came out to do a proper version of millionaire

So weird you said that, I was about to post how I wish there was studio version of Millionaire with Josh singing, haha.

Sounded fine live to me, does sound a bit weird in the vid tho.

Thanks for posting the setlist. They're coming to Kansas City soon and I was thinking of going but I'll pass now. Seems they don't even recognize their best work anymore, all focused on newer stuff.

it's tough when you are an established band with a laundry list of songs that people love. for once (this rarely happens for me these days!) i was actually hoping they would play the entire new album before going to the show. it's just really good and really good live! if you have a chance to see them live i would recommend it.... they are so choice!

 

[Mileena]

I don't doubt the show is great and they're great live, but they're playing with The Killers (lol) and I really don't have any love for the last two albums aside from a song or two.

I'll just sit here and watch this while I'm toasted. AMAAAAAZING

wtf with the killers? must be a festival of some sort

 

[Mileena]

Line-up

The Killers
Buzz Under the Stars
Queens of the Stone Age
Gogol Bordello

I don't even know what any of that other shit is. I must be behind the times.

never heard of those other 2 bands. and it is unfortunate that we live in a world where the killers would probably be headlining a show with queens

Gogol is kinda cool. Think System of a Down meets Gypsy music.

I like you. Great video.

Thanks for posting last night's show as well, will have to get to it later.

I can't believe I missed out on a show in sophomore year of high school where QOTSA opened for Nine Inch Nails. Bunch of friends went and I've never been the same since.

 

[Desiato]

aww yiss

Spoiler

The booklet has NO artwork at all. Kind of disappointing. Maybe because it's the Japanese release? There's only the lyrics along with the Japanese translations. At least I got a sweet poster though!

 

[Princess Carl]

I'm debating if I wanna drive 300 miles to see them play in British Columbia in August. If I could find someone I know to go too it would be a done deal.

 

[The Crimson Kid]

The new album will be available to stream in full on iTunes starting at noon EST/9 AM PST today.

Just listened. Sick album, really liking it. Might have to get the vinyl.

 

[blanky]

Fuck me this is awesome. Getting the vinyl tomorrow and hopefully I win the lottery for the Cloth Album coverart.

 

[Hobbestetrician]

Just listened to the stream, pretty incredible album. 'Smooth Sailing' has such a goddamn dirty riff I almost feel like I should shower after listening to it. "I got bruises and hickeys, stitches and scars/Got my own theme music, plays wherever I are" is pretty much Homme in one line.

Yeah that's a great line... And song!

 

[Milchjon]

When Homme nails vocals, he's one of my favorite singers to listen to. The verses of My God Is The Sun is a perfect example.

 

[flake]

I sat by the ocean is amazing. Had it on repeat

 

[Veal]

Oh god y'all. The LE Deluxe Double press record is amazing! I can post pics if anyone wants?

please do! and post where you got it and how much it was

 

[panty]

This album man.. this album. Been listening to it A LOT and I have to say this is solid. There's a lot of great songs and even the bad ones aren't that bad.

There's also "I blow my load, all over the status quo. Here we go"

 

[HighAmperage]

Big fan but just not feeling this one yet.
But they've never quite topped the debut in my opinion.

 

[Hobbestetrician]

There's also "I blow my load, all over the status quo. Here we go"

Yes yes yes, another classic line. That song is so good, it's basically Josh swinging his dick around. Women might need to be careful listening to that song, it might get them pregnant.

 

[Veal]

I've been having a hell of time getting the pics off of my phone, and that might be for the best as they are probably some of the worst pics you could ever see of this gorgeous album. I got it from the Matador online store for $50 plus shipping.

This album is dark and decadent. It's extremely personal and flows together remarkably well. Probably the most successful at being that "dark and loud" rock that Homme loves so much. The artwork really helps drive home that feeling dark and demented, and is amazingly produced. Simply gorgeous.

Once again, these pics are FAR FAR from what you should expect when you see it in person:

Bulby ain't went nowhere

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Definitely on par with Lullabies, which is what I wanted. Fantastic album! Kalopsia is my favorite track. Smooth Sailing wins the most fun/funky guitar solo. I Sat By The Ocean has the best intro.

 

[JBourne]

Got my notification from Amazon. I'll have the vinyl within 12 hours. So excited.

 

[dafinezt]

OMG how did I miss this?

Listening now.

I didn't post everything (obviously), but I think the stuff I didn't post is even better! One of the best things I've done all year is get stoned and listen to this album while looking at the art/reading the lyrics.

 

[Socreges]

If I Had a Tail = Bowie

Loving this album. Fairweather Friends is the low point for me.

Gonna ask for this for my birthday, I think. Thanks for the impressions.

 

[waypoetic]

One freakin day left

 

[Milchjon]

I can't get enough of the verses of My God Is The Sun, but the chorus gets annoying when I listen to it too often. :-/

 

[ToyMachine228]

I actually think My God Is the Sun is the worst song on the album. I can see why they chose it as the debut single, but its the one track that I skip over the most when listening to the album.

 

[Rodeo Clown]

What an awesome album. Almost worth the 6 years I had to go in between Queens albums.

I'm really into I Sat by the Ocean right now.

 

[depths20XX]

Really not into this album on the first few listens. To me the first half is just not that interesting. Maybe 3-4 songs I like.

I dunno, was just hoping there would be some faster songs or something with the groove of their older stuff but not feeling it.

Smooth Sailing is cool though.

 

[Ninhead]

Even with the glut of good music the last 5 months, this is by far front-runner for album of the year for me. Just for the one-two-three punch combo of "Kalopsia"/"Fairweather Friends"/"Smooth Sailing". Wow. And that's ignoring all the other songs.

And the vinyl is completely necessary.

Took me a while to get into the album, about a week (got access to it a little early). I had to tell myself to stop expecting what I thought QOTSA would do and appreciate the music for where Josh and co. are at in this point of their lives. I was also helped by watching that 15 minute animated video they released last month (can't link to youtube at work, sorry). Makes the album come across as a more cohesive piece of work than just a bunch of songs strung together.

All that said, I still don't love it like I do their first three albums. I do like it more than Era Vulgaris, and about as much as Lullabies.
