Their S/T is my favorite because it's raw and varied. SFTD is my 2nd favorite, but it can't sustain the momentum of track 4, probably the greatest prog/metal jam ever. For what it's worth, Kyuss' Blues for the Red Sun and Welcome to Sky Valley were better albums.

I saw these guys with NIN last year and boy was it boring. All of the riffs sound alike. jajajajajajajaja!!! I can't seem to understand why they are so popular.

So, anyone had a chance to listen to the new album and gather some thoughts? I think it's definitely weaker than LTP and SFTT, it seems more droning...standout tracks are 3's and 7's and Sick Sick Sick...

better than lullabies (which isnt difficult) weaker than their other three. sorted.

Better than Lullabies! I fink not! I dare you to find a single that's as catchy as Little sister on EV...

Better and catchy are two different things, dear boy.

Not for me...;)

I like them a lot, as well as Kyuss, and the Desert Sessions CDs are awesome too, all worth checking out if you like that stoner rock sound. I'm not sure how I feel about the new QOTSA single, "Sick Sick Sick" though - It's getting heavy play on Sirius though which is nice.

Great band, and very good live too
