burn the witch, little sister
Anyone given this CD a full listening to?
I never liked QOTSA that much, i liked 'go with the flow' from their album in 2003, and thought they were an overall solid band, just nothing that really caught and held my interest. But recently I was lent a copy of Lullabies to Paralyze and have listened to it non stop for 2 days.
You know an album is good right away when it defies genres and is unique and whole. This album ing rules guys. It's totally mellow, freaky, and spooky at the same time!
What really blows is that they played alot of these songs opening for NIN back in October, but I find it hard to appreciate songs live you have never heard before. At the time I nodded my head to the beat, but the songs practically went in one ear and out the other...totally night and day compared to the effect the CD has had on me.
This CD is loaded with good songs. Feeling lazy on a friday afternoon? Pop this cd in. It is mellow, in a positive groovy sort of way.
Best album I've heard since 10,000 Days.

My favorite song is "I Never Came" The guitar has a groovy cascading effect when it kicks in after the chorus. I dig Little Sister too, didn't it used to be a radio single?
This CD in general is good.
You can listen to it through without skipping.
Little sister was the first single off this album. In My Head is a great video, and the Long and Slow Goodbye is a great song live or when you're drunk.
My favorite song would have to be Tangled up in the Plaid or Long Slow Goodbye... but their best work, imo, was still in the self led album...followed by SFTD, Rated R then Lullabies. Give all their a listen... even any b-sides you can find... it's all great .
Yeah, Regular John is great. I think we've discussed that before.
I never liked too much of SFTD. The overall sound of Lullabies is just so bad ass I think. Very unique. I wish I coulda caught that show in Austin, it was like a week after I saw them in San Antonio.
You'll like the first album and Rated R if you like the past album. It's got that stoner-rock vibe to it. It seems like you dig that. Also, the new Eagles of Death Metal is good. Maybe Jman remembers because I dont right now but there was another side project Homme was involved with. SFTD is good when you feel like hearing an album that is just balls out rock from beginning to end.
The version of Regular John that they have in the CD/DVD "Over the Years and Through the Woods" kicks sooo much ass it's not even funny.
He's involved in a lot of that I know of:
Desert Sessions
Eagles of Death Metal
Masters of Reality
Millionaire
Remixed some of DFA 1979's songs
I believe he actually was in studio with Tool when they were recording 10,000 Days.
Some other stuff that is even less known that ^^^^.
Desert Sessions was it.
What are some good songs on Rated R? I don't think I've heard anything from that album before.
