Queens of the Stone Age - Villains

Wasn't on my radar at all, thanks for the heads-up!

Yeah, singles are great. Always loved SFTD and Era Vulgaris but I recently went back to Like Clockwork and it really grew on me since I last gave it a listen. Decided to go back and give Rated R a try and holy fuck why did I ever sleep on this album?? So good. Not sure i'll ever get into lullabies, but stoked for the new album.

Heads up, the album has leaked.

I think I've listened to it about 35 times since Friday. Really like it, probably my favorite since Rated R.

I haven't listened to Songs for the Deaf in a super long time. And I liked Like Clockwork but idk, I just moved on pretty quickly. Rated R is my favorite by a good margin, but I feel similarly about this one in that I actually like every song.

We'll see how I feel in a week. I might revisit Like Clockwork and see how that holds up.

Got the silly deluxe vinyl. After giving it a few more listen-throughs I've started to like it a bit more.

Nice that they pulled back a tiny bit from Like Clockwork, as good as that was. Josh Homme can ape Bowie and throw in eensy bitty Ronson-does-Kyuss for the next 3 albums and I'd be okay with it.

Really digging it as well. I drive alot for work and it has been pretty much on repeat. Head like a Haunted House and Feet Dont Fail Me are stand out rippers for sure.

My initial reaction was to say Villains>Like Clockwork, but fuck man.... that album is aging really really well. This album has the riffs, but Clockwork has this "feel" to it. Hard to compare for me.

Really liking it, wasn't feeling it until the 3rd or 4th playthrough but that's typical Queens.
