To be honest, the original draft was longer but I thought it was getting a bit excessive. I find it interesting that this record is creating such divisions amongst Queens' fans - people seem to adore it or just find nothing in it. There was another comment which has disappeared which very complimentary n the review but another Queens fan who wasn't digging it but I guess it's the same for all records. Speaking of distorted bass, you might need this: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KlwITiP0YusJonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13439169949165545033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4767292359356432548.post-71542048090557637962013-06-14T02:50:41.770-07:002013-06-14T02:50:41.770-07:00I think you've covered all the bases there, J....I think you've covered all the bases there, J.<br /><br />I still find things to write & say about it. Just like I've been telling everyone to buy it. A minor classic, I say.<br /><br />I can't remember a (whole) rock album being so satisfying - on every level: theme/lyrics/songwriting, matched to groove, riffage, guitar tones and drum sounds.<br /><br />It reminded me how much I love the sound of drums (esp Grohlesque, Desert Sessions drums. This is why we loved Zeppelin so much...) - the sound of drums popping and breathing out the speakers. And, locking with that, the rhythm section as a whole.<br /><br />Guitar tones - check. Doing new stuff with rock riffs and grooves - check.<br /><br />The little snatches of synth, pop and sleaze.<br /><br />That fuck, I wanna see this band perform this material live.<br /><br />That I don't care about the macho this & that, this album has a depth missing from much of QOTSA - esp as an album. Stronger than RatedR, Songs/Deaf? I'm thinking so...<br /><br />I don't think everyone's going to feel this album the same way, but, still, I wanted to pick up the guitar again after hearing it. I'm thinking about distorted bass tones in the mix.<br /><br />It's awesome in the car on dark nights.<br /><br />Damn.<br /><br /><br />rino breebaarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08732964644950027323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4767292359356432548.post-87757089040443472682013-06-05T15:47:44.010-07:002013-06-05T15:47:44.010-07:00I can see your point of view as well.

The last thing I...I'm glad you like it, really. The last thing I'd ever want to do is make somebody like something less. So, I just want to say that if you're right about this being Josh's reaction to a near death experience ( and I've no reason to believe otherwise) then, my reaction to death, and my own near death experiences is pretty much the opposite of Josh's- and that would go a pretty long way to explaining my antipathy to the record. Still, my bottom line is this: if you like it, then go with it!Matt "Max" Vanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15126126569405496001noreply@blogger.com
