Album of the week

A new poll is live! It’s back again, just for you guys... 🎉

Jason Mendoza said:I’ve never really been a huge fan of Queens of the Stone Age. They never quite clicked for me, though I did end up at two of their shows (don't ask how...) and honestly? I can't say I was blown away. There's just something missing in their sound for me.

They were awesome when they played in Times Square! But then a few years later at that big festival in Austin, not so much. Plus, they were playing newer stuff back then that just wasn't hitting the mark for me... personally, I think like Clockwork is their absolute peak—their most complete, mature work. Everything after that felt like a step down. And let's not forget Homme becoming such a handful, especially after that whole mess where he smashed his wife's camera right off the stage.

@Jason Mendoza, why isn't this track on the Letovac album link you sent?



What are the absolute best tracks from this album?
(Maybe some that actually hit harder today than they used to, especially with all this rain we're getting...)

Was this some kind of later addition to the studio version or what?

I see there are bonus tracks on nine, like live versions of 'we are lost' and 'ne trebam te'.

I dropped a YouTube link earlier and couldn't find what I was looking for, but apparently, it’s right there. I did a bit more digging and finally stumbled upon what looks like the actual playlist containing this track: Two dogs fuckin'

The thing is, neither Discogs nor Wikipedia mentions it, so who actually knows what's going on here?

Basically, the original link pointed to the full album, but this one is just the entire playlist featuring that specific song.

p.s. It says the release date is 2015, so maybe it’s some kind of remaster. Once the album passes my inspection, I'll dig into it properly. 😉

I really wish they'd ditch the Armada, though. I can't stand NK Rijeka or Armada—I'm a die-hard Hajduk supporter through and through, and there's no changing that. 😁

The second I saw let 3, I just knew—honestly, nobody else even stands a chance against them

Honestly, Sandi is the best one here, but I know nobody is going to vote for him just because he looks like an American... 👎

I'm with you. It’s a curse being that good-looking—guys get jealous and women get worked up because you're out of their league. And yet, once again, we see that the music is the least important thing.

I'm seriously digging the debate over Currents—it’s rare for me to get this hyped about an album release during the week. Honestly, my feelings on it are kind of split, but I still think it's more than good. It's studio perfection, almost up there with the stuff Steely Dan used to pull off.

I’ll get this topic started on Monday; I've got a mountain of work to tackle over the weekend, so I won't have the chance to get to it before then.

Until then: Zora

I'm feeling a little bit sluggish today, so honestly, we can just push this thread to Wednesday if that works for everyone. 😁

I’ve got some mixed feelings on certain tracks, sure, but overall? It’s damn good. We're talking studio perfection here, almost on par with the stuff Steely Dan used to pull off.

I honestly thought Currents wouldn't make the cut, but now I find myself needing to start a thread about it 🤣

I'll try to get the thread up tomorrow 🙂

Go take this fight somewhere else, Fasse—get outta here! 🍿

Tomorrow—when I give it another spin.

After giving it some serious thought—weighing up whether to go with Boris or Nadja this week—I’ve finally landed on Boris. This is basically the drone experience at its absolute peak. I’m calling it now: this one’s going to pull in a record-breaking two votes. 😁

This is their fifth album, and honestly, it’s a total masterpiece! It’s easily their creative peak and where they really hit that massive mainstream sweet spot. If you ask me... this feels like one of those last great flashes of pure rock glory that everyone can get behind, whether you're a hardcore fan or just someone looking for a great tune...

Their fifth album, and a worthy one at that. It’s basically their creative and mainstream peak. In my humble opinion, it’s also one of the last true flashes of rock that actually resonates across generations... whether you're a die-hard fan or just passing through.

For me, it's the last one. I dig the direction they're heading...
