I've only heard the two songs they have videos for on MTV and I like them both, is the rest of the CD crap like Stone Sour or are they consistent?

No One Knows the answer to your question :cheers:

Both of their CDs are very good. Nothing sticks out though, but it's good stoner rock stuff. Both are reccommended. They make great background music.

Rated R is flat-out awesome and one of the best rock albums in recent history. I would pretty comfortably call it one of my favorite albums released since 2000, possibly top 5. Pick it up without hesitation; they cover all sorts of styles and sounds on that disc, and it's something I recommend to anyone who's at all interested in hard rock. If you need any convincing, download "Feel Good Hit Of The Summer" and "The Lost Art Of Keeping A Secret," the first two tracks on the disc. Should give you a strong feel of what the album is like.

 

To my fault, I haven't checked out the more recent album at all outside of the single, but the general consensus seems to be that it starts amazingly strong but overall isn't as intriguing or worth returning to as Rated R.

"Songs For The Deaf" is a great album, but it's one of those that needs to be listened through all the way......no stopping. :headbang:

Actually, the band has three albums under their belt. You missed their debut album Queens of The Stone Age, which has some great material on it, namely "What if", and others.

 

But most definately, check these guys OUT! I attended a live show recently, and reviewed it for KickAssRiff.com. The link is in my sig.

yeah. There's a run of three or four weaker songs in the middle sandwiched between the great stuff that really damages the flow of the album. A shame, as I think that the good stuff is better than most of Rated R.

songs for the deaf is my least favorite QOTSA album ..i mean its still very good but Rated R, then the self title are the best

 

check out Mondo Geneator as well Oliveri's band QOTSA covered one of their tracks on Rated R

 

being a huge Kyuss fan none of the QOTSA albums can touch Blues for the red sun or Sky Valley in my eyes

I think McSockman's described my stance on it the best. Overlong, but definitely worth it.

I find the Live version of Lost Art of Keeping a Secret much better than the one on Rated R

Yeah, I hate it when I start liking a band and then I figure out that they've been around for a while and I've just been missing out.

You're best off downloading some stuff, then if you like it go out and pick up a disk or two.

 

I got SFTD cause of all the hype and it didn't do anything for me.

 

This dirty garage sound is the trendy thing now...so download to be safe.

oh and btw in general fuck the recordings and see them live as good as the QOTSA/Kyuss?desert Sessions albums can be nothing holds a candle to the live shows

No they good, very good.

 

Also check out Kyuss, namely the "Blues for the Red Sun" album. Funny how "big" fans of the band have no idea of there roots.

but then again they do try to downplay them and avoid the history/songs and all

 

Blues changed my life- i recomended it earlier

 

swan do you have Wretch?

thats probably the only bad thing theyve ever done IMO, but grnated it was in the early stages

No I don't. I discovered them starting with "Blues" and never went back to the debut. Would it be worth it if I found it used?
