I like the stuff they've released, but some of the stuff on the album, between the droning repetition and the never ending sound clips at the start of the songs i got bored ****less.

Yeah but to be fair by next week you would have totally changed your mind again.

ok because ive defiantley not had kyuss for over a year

I prefer Qotsa myself. Their sound is cleaner, and better thought out, I think. Kyuss are great too, but none of their stuff really stands up to the pure genius that Qotsa have brought out, like Better Living Through Chemistry, or Song for the Deaf (the song, not the entire album)

This makes me slightly agitated!

I like Queens, but having heard all Kyuss material I know of, I can't say there is any way Queens stacks up against them.

I guess it depends on how clean you like your music, and the lyrics weren't anything special from Kyuss but the overall product tends to blow QOTSA out of the water imo.

Kyuss went through their time starting off dead sleazy and finishing up artistically awesome, but whatever stage they were at, it was brilliant. (1990) Deadly Kiss -> 50 Million Year Trip -> Demon Cleaner -> Spaceship Landing (1995).

QOTSA have gone through making Mexicola -> Tension Head (Apart from a couple the rest of the album was pretty average) -> You Think I Aint Worth a Dollar -> I'm not sure what to put here from the Lullabies album, it was all mediocre. You know, some good songs, but other than S/T and maybe SFTD, none of the QOTSA albums, as a whole, stacked up against Kyuss.

Well, what would you view as kyuss' best album? I haven't heard enough of their stuff in all honesty

It's hard to say, they're all different and great in their own ways. Wretch is their sleaziest, it's just a pure rock album kind of like ACDC's Back in Black or something like that. Blues For the Red Sun is mainly their desert sound, it's a bit more experimental, as is Welcome to the Sky Valley. While ...And the Circus Leaves Town is probably their most artistic and psychedelic, fairly different to anything before it, some of the songs are much more mellow.

Theres no Wretch there but i'm sure you could hunt it down somewhere.

I think I have everything there... that may be because I already raided there for their albums. I probably have them all, I just forgot to listen to them. I'm getting so much music these days it's hard to keep track of what I haven't listened to!

Kyuss may have been somewhat derivative of Black Sabbath, but I fail to see Queens of the Stone Age as very original. To me, they sound more generic and uninteresting than Kyuss, just a watered down version with more "alternative rock" influences.

I've just downloaded 3s and 7s. Anyone else hear it? Thoughts? And what about the upcoming album...I tried searching and managed to download a fake off of Soulseek (such people should be killed, seriously)...can't wait to hear it. Judging by 3s and 7s it's gonna be sweet as fuck!
