Rofl, are their other albums worth listening to? if they're what you say, louder and faster, I'd say so. If someone could give me a certain album to pick up before LTP then that'd be much appreciated.

Buy every Kyuss album and throw out your QOTSA album's, you will be MUCH happier

buy R or songs for the deaf

nope...kyuss is justa bunch of noise...qotsa ppwwwwnnn kyuss...

not even close http://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...smiley-081.gif

no way. Kyuss were a good band in their day. they released some good, at times brilliant desert stoner rock. blues for the red sun is a classic - im not questioning that. QOTSA however have released three albums that better it and one that is still a high class album. i see no debate here. better songs, better musicianship, better production. just better.

Not even close sunshine:)

Qotsa
 

sorry if there is a thread, i did search. maybe i am jsut defective at it. s'allright

Anyways, these guys, have really mellow yet hard music, really sweet to listen to when high, relaxing, sad, happy, or w/e.
Awesoem spawn of Kyuss.

I only really like the Self Titled and Songs for the Deaf. Rated R didn't do much for me and neither did Lullabies to Paralyze.

Nick Oliveri is awesome though and it's a shame he left, I love his vocals on "You think I ain't worth a dollar..."

I have the music video for burn the witch
I like that song
the girl who plays the witch is pretty

wasnt nick the one that "left" due the personal argument with Homie?

yep

im going with Songs for the Deaf too!
aweome album that one!

Being a really big Kyuss fan I tried to like them but just never really felt it. They're not bad, but they don't really stick for me.

S/T and Songs for the Deaf are the best they've put out. I like em a lot maybe just because they led me to a lot of what I like now.

My whole head just imploded.

Kyuss are far more important and Qotsa is far more accessible. I don't think that's too hard to understand and so most people would prefer Queens.

I`m probably going against the grain here but I fail to see whats so special about Kyuss. I think QOTSA were far superior.
With Kyuss I always had this sense of the band saying to themselves 'Right then lads , which Black Sabbath album should we plagiarise today?'
whereas QOTSA to me sound like they made more effort to actually write songs that sound original.

^ I don't get what you are saying mate, they don't sound a thing like them, and the songs are about totally different subjects.(somewhat)

I prefer QOTSA over Kyuss too. And I like Lullabies and Paralyze the most of all of their albums. That album is great when you had some drinks, and are about to fall asleep. Gives a really weird ambience. Must be even better when you have used drugs. But I don't, so I wouldn't know.

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!

Is it only illegal at this point?

Era Vulgaris comes out sometime in June. You can hear some songs on their official web site. Sick sick sick is pretty sick...

You have some moral objections to downloading?

No kidding. I went to buy Converge's No Heroes at HMV. 22$ CDN + tax. I said "**** this" and left.

Used to listen to QOTSA a lot, but very, very rarely now. Heard Sick, Sick, Sick a while back on the radio... it wasn't bad, but it wasn't too great. I read that Jesse F. Keeler from Death From Above 1979 was helping to record playing bass or something on the CD, though, which is cool.

I don't think he ended up doing that actually due to a busy schedule or something.

Who's on drums for the new one?

Their new album sounds like it's going to be very weird. The three songs I've heard (sick sick sick, 3s and 7s, and In to the Hollow) aren't bad but I'm hoping there are better songs on the album.

Songs for the Deaf is by far my favorite QOTSA album and possibly my favorite album overall. Dave Grohl is amazing!!!

I'm pretty sure it's still Joey Castillo.

But anyway, I'm just psyched about Era Vulgaris. I've heard a sample of Sick, sick, sick, and it sounds bitchin'. I find it hard to imagine the album being a disappointment.

Never been much of a fan, especially after that horribe, horrible Feel good hit of the summer. Man I hated that.

what are these guys like in relation to Kyuss, i know it has thier guitarist but in terms of sound and freakin heaviness
