My argument (and I'm not speaking for anyone else) is that the band is different now and on the last album, I feel that the songs were somewhat contrived in spots and didn't feel like a band making music but more of a frontman setting the tone, doing the writing and placing the core band and a bunch of guest players where they belong. Self Titled and SFTD are probably their best and most jam/band oriented sounding albums. Rated R sounds a bit more contrived and while about half the album is great and the other half is just good (IMO), I find the first and third records superior due in large part to their slightly more extemporaneous feeling qualities. There are good things about ...Like Clockwork but it feels like its missing something... no pun intended. I feel similarly about Rated R as a whole, even though I recognize it contains iconic tracks that are amazing and that I love, some of it is throwaway for me. Lullabies feels somewhere in between my love and appreciation for S/T and SFTD and the distracting, disjointed feel of RR and ...LC though its a very close 3rd to S/T and SFTD.

BuzzersonKillwell Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 (edited) Curious to see what they cook up this time. Last record was pretty different and by all accounts, a rough effort. Dunno if they'll double-down on that vibe or pull a 180. Or what. Excited to find out. Edited April 11, 2017 by BuzzersonKillwell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stress On The Sky Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 To be honest I don't think there's been an album these guys have put out that has missed the mark for me. They've all got their own personal charms and strengths and even when they don't immediately click with me a few returns is all it ever takes. Revisited ...Like Clockwork and Era Vulgaris a few days ago and whilst they may not have started off as favourites these days I'd find it hard to put any of QOTSA's albums in a ranked list. kannibal and j67ab 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you might have meant it that way, and I can see that being the case. The events surrounding the album obviously had a huge effect on the tone and themes.

I tried to email them and ask but it says Collectors-Choice has their contact form available. I remember I ordered form them one time and it was supposed to be a clear variant but it was a black version. They have something down in their fine print that says they can't gaurantee the color variant because it uses the same UPC (but somehow it always ends up with the standard edition under the color version listing, never the other way around). Got mine in today - it is the deluxe, and it's beautiful! What a steal at $19 shipped daegor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcpherson123 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 If the album just got mixed, it still needs to be mastered. I would like a track by tomorrow but it seems unlikely that they will have a digital file ready for consumption by tomorrow since mastering and mass production would likely come before the release of anything from a band of their status. They probably won't just do an export of a WAV from the mixing DAW and compress it to be uploaded. Seems like they would wait for their mass production service to provide the digital cut for them to do any promotion with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's believed they'll release the first single before their first show, which is a week from Thursday. If it follows the Like Clockwork timeline the album would come in August probably.
