Qotsa

Thanks! That saved a couple of quid over Amazon.

Thought it might come in useful for someone over here!

Scored pre sale tickets to the Kansas City (Bonner Springs) show! Anyone else going?

Waiting to see if I get accepted for Lollapalooza Press Passes, and if not then I'll definitely be going. Completely surprised that 96.5 The Buzz FINALLY has a lineup that isn't the same typical shitty bands (311, Flogging Molly, Sublime, etc) that they repeatedly book at every single of of their shows.

First album review is up on antiquiet. I think historically they get real excited about new releases like most of us and tend to give the overly favorable reviews more often than not, but regardless I still got a gut feeling this record is gonna be homme's masterpiece and june 4th can't come soon enough:

Hmm.... not sure that I'm digging the new track yet. Hasn't sunk in.

I'm inclined to agree about reviewers doing that but this album should be good. Every album has been consistently good and yes I love Era Vulgaris when so many thought it was crap.

Same mostly, but still decent and good QOTSA.

[imail724]

Also it should be mentioned that video only shows half of the song. Wikipedia, iTunes, etc. all list the song as being 6 minutes long. According to someone who has heard the album that drum section goes on a little longer, then goes into another chorus, then a guitar solo.

[thevoid99]

That new track is... awesome... man, Josh Homme hasn't lost his touch.

[Alexandros]

I Appear Missing sounds great, it has weird hook to it, it's really sinking in as I listen to it again and again.

[scorpiusdiamond]

Hnnnngg.
That is all.

Ugh, I hate when bands do that. I get the appeal of not "spoiling" the album but c'mon.

i think it's more that making an animated video is a labor-intensive process, and there's a clear story arc...maybe it didn't work expanding it out to 6 minutes?

[imail724]

Supposedly boneface is going to do a few more animations for clips of songs and a full one for my god is the sun. I don't mind because then we get to hear a bunch of the album without spoiling the whole thing.

That was excellent. Excite! I reckon it could definitely benefit from being longer.

[BrokenSpiral]

I think there is a whole video to go with that song. They just gave us a taste.

[fillow]

I'm hearing a bit of Fun Machine in there

[gerbil]

Definitely. And that's good. It's one if my favorite Queens songs.

[dlb]

I could punch myself for having met Alfredo Hernandez yesteday and not asking him anything about QOTSA or the new record. Damn!

I'm sure he'd have been overjoyed to talk about that band he was only briefly in all of fifteen years ago.

[dlb]

Yeah stupid me for thinking he and Mario Lalli might have had some stories to share...

[fillow]

Saying Alfredo was in the band 'briefly' is a bit harsh, imo. He played on the album and drummed on tour for almost two years, I'd say that's pretty solid contribution.


Re: antiquiet review

…Like Clockwork is a trip of honest fragility bleeding through deeply layered textures and harmonies, a pendular swing volleying between forlorn vulnerability and fire-christened renewal.

What the fuck am I supposed to get from this description? This kind of literary masturbation is why I try to avoid music reviews at all costs.
