Agreed. This album is really sticking with me. Josh Homme is back to fine form. I can't wait to see them live three times this summer.
“Hello, babies. Welcome to Earth. It’s hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It’s round and wet and crowded. At the outside, babies, you’ve got about a hundred years here. There’s only one rule that I know of, babies — ‘God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’” - Kurt Vonnegut
Im starting to think that it's better than both Lullabies and the very overestimated Songs for the Deaf...There aren't really any weak songs on Era Vulgaris

I don't understand why people dislike sick sick sick...I probably sat a whole hour on their website with it on repeat, and not once did I get tired of it!!

I've listened to this album at LEAST once a day every day since it came out. It's by far my favorite QOTSA album, which is hard to believe I'm saying. I don't think there's anything close to a bad song on it. My friend says that it's too short to be his favorite QOTSA album, but I kinda like that aspect of it, to be honest. I sometimes find myself feeling like Lullabies and SFTD are a little too drawn out towards the end. I think Era Vulgaris is a perfect album and it's my favorite album of 2007 easily.

Sick Sick Sick ftw
yes i agree fully....i'm really really digging this record!
That or Battery Acid.
Suture Up Your Future is genius though.
For me, its probably my second favorite of theirs behind Songs for the Deaf. At least for now.
Batter Acid is not a weak track! Argh!11!1!
There are two skippable songs on Era V:
1. Sick^3
2. River in the Road
All the rest is gold.
i agree river in the road is a skipper but not sick sick sick. why the dislike for this song?
