We can all agree that ...Like Clockwork is QOTSA's best album, right?
>>60931682
i enjoy it the most
its probably songs for the deaf tho
It's not even in the top 3
>>60932366
why
Rated R is their best, but ...LC is really close.
>>60932582
Self-titled, Rated R, Songs for the Deaf, and Lullabies to Paralyze are all better in so many ways
>We can all agree
Can we ever?
Easily
>>60932597
this desu senpai
>>60931682
Yes
I Appear Missing is one of the best songs of the decade
>>60931682
Not even trolling, Era Vulgaris is there best album.
I disagree
They're all basically on par with each other though. Queens are so fucking good.
They were the one band that could walk the line between the garage/blues rock revival scene, the modern psychedelia scene, the post-grunge, the stoner metal, and even the prog scene without ever sounding like any of them. The made everything from fairy-tale psych-rock to aggro metal to borderline industrial to bluesy piano ballads and they get labeled as buttrock.
Queens are so fucking good
You know what, QOTSA as a whole is just good. Not great. Not spectacular. Maybe at the right time it's THE thing to listen to, but as a whole there are just as many shit tracks as there are good tracks.
>>60932597
le contrarian
self-titled doesn't compare, neither does lullabies and you know it
>>60931682
I enjoy SFTD and Rated R more. It is really good though, I can't wait for their next release.
>>60932657
Some of my favorites are on EV, but it also has some of my least favorites.
>>60932634
I Appear Missing hits me hard every time I listen to it.
>>60932692
Which tracks did you feel were not up to par?
You seem to have posted the wrong pic op.
Rated R > LC > ST > SFTD > LtP > EV
>>60932366
this is the #1 contrarian statement, fuck off
>>60933013
I like them as equally as much, but I just go back to listen to LC more. Not sure why
The first 3 albums are by far the best 3 and anyone who says Songs For The Deaf isn't their best album is literally retarded
>>60932742
You keep throwing that word around.
Stop it.
It doesn't matter, Kyuss is leagues better than QOTSA anyway.
>buttrock
SFTD > Rated R > Self Titled > LTP > Like Clockwork > Era Vulgaris

but more importantly, this >>60933275
>>60931682
it's certainly among their finest work, but i have a tough time choosing between this, sftd, self-titled, and rated r as my favorite. what i appreciate about qotsa is how each album has its distinct flavor, and even though i don't feel lullabies and era vulgaris are as fully-realized as their other releases, they still have their time and place.
>>60932366
What this guy said
>>60931682
it's their worst or potentially second worst album
pretty terrible either way
>>60931682
arguably the best rock album this decade

I don't know why I didn't like Rated R. It has good songs. It's a little too edgy buttrock stoner i guess i.e. "In the Fade", "Feel Good Hit", "Auto Pilot", and kind of "Better Living" but I like that song better than these. However, they are still good.
Eh, i still like the band.
I'm pretty convinced that everyone who says LC is the best QotSA album has absolutely no opinion of their own. They read the 8/10 & 9/10 reviews and just go with that. It only gets those scores because it's actually a good album and there's jack all excellent 'mainstream' rock music out these days. So this just seems godly in comparison.
But it's not even close to their best album. Songs For The Deaf is one of the best rock records ever recorded, it's almost hypnotic and a true sonic masterpiece. ...LC has some excellent songs but as an overall album it can't even compare. And it's still not even close to Rated R and the first album. It's maybe better than the other two.
Ima have to go with Era Vulgaris
