  • Having the S/T vinyl would be killer! I've never even seen the cd in stores. I've never paid for it. As soon as I find it in stores, that is my first choice.
    Are you too good to tango with the poor poor boys?

    I am a pj fan-- I own all studio albums and thanks to generous friends endless bootlegs and foreign magazines (a week ago I was given RS MEX, friend was on tour and she has been carrying it around since the summer).

    QOTSA--they were in town and I tried for tix and was lucky to get them. I don't own any albums.

    I like Rated R the best. Just a solid album top to bottom. Then it's probably the s/t then SFTD. I just enjoyed a handful of the songs on LTP, and overall the album just didn't do it for me. it really seemed to be lacking Nick's influence and also that of Josh reigning in Nick's ideas.

    i think i lost my headache though...

    Nick is sorely missed. LTP just lacks the punch of previous albums. People think Nick is just a screamer. What about Auto-Pilot off of "R" I enjoy Nick's mellow voice as well. Plus he was always great to watch live. He interacted with the crowd alot more than Josh.

    The first album was a masterpiece. After that it was downhill. And that doesn't make me any more or less of a "fan" because I don't worship "Songs For The Deaf" like everyone else does. I bought the first album when it came out...not years later like everyone else did...and none of the subsequent albums have lived up to my expectations.



    the first one is the shit...i agree....very very good rock...listened to it the most by far.

    Next favourite band after Pearl Jam. They're great live, but I wish sooooo much that I could've seen them on the Songs For The Deaf tour. With Nick, Lanegan and Dave Grohl is definitely them in their prime.

    I only saw the first album once in stores and I grabbed it immediately. I didn't really like it at first but it grew on me. You Would Know is the only song I can't listen to on that CD, it's too boring and repetitive. Mexicola is one of the heaviest, most ass kicking songs I've ever heard, it really strikes a chord with me.

    Their new CD is supposed to come out sometime in 2007, but I don't have high expectations for it. I'm almost expecting a letdown since it feels to me that the giant hairy balls of Queens of the Stone Age walked out the door with Nick. They need him back, but it's a very unlikely outcome.

    I'm a huge QOTSA fan, espec the songs which Mark Lanegan sings on. Saw Dave Grohl play with them at Glastonbury.
    Def not the same without Nick though.

    I love their earlier albums, although because i didnt even realise that nick had left, i suppose im not that big of a fan!! Did he not play on the last album? Its the only one i dont own, although ive heard it a few times, thought it was a bit dull aside from a couple songs.

    I think they have got progressively worse to be honest, and if nick isnt playing then i cant see them improving really. Still a really great band though, on the basis of their first 3 albums.
    People say im paranoid. Well, they dont say it, but i know that's what they are thinking.

    Nick was asked to leave the band before the making of the latest album. I like lullabyes quite a bit but I agree after Rated R each album has been a little of a let down, but i love all 4 of their albums.

    Absoultely agree...their three first albums are essencial for them and for us. Anyway, I don´t think they went worse lately, they are doing new things...different things...

    I still nearly cry every time I listen to Like Clockwork...it's that good! I'm confident they won't disappoint.

    Me too! By far the best album of 2015 IMO (that was the year, right?), and I have really high expectation for the upcoming one. I hope they're met! I suspect they will be. Can't wait!!!!!!!!! This is my most anticipated album right now, by far.

    2013 and yes, it was the best. Everything about it was done right. Great 45 vinyl release and packaging. I had always been a somewhat fan of them until that album. Completely blew me away. Instant rock classic.

    2013?! :confounded: I'm disturbed by how much more recent it seems to me, lol. I remember the first time I put it on my turntable... because I didn't know it was a 45 LP and thought there was something seriously wrong with my turntable for at least a few minutes before it clicked in my brain. :lol:

    Remember this super cool promo film for the album? So awesome - everything about the album is this truly a work of art. They never took their eyes off the ball for it.
