Today's theme is brought to you by @VestigialLung and it is: #TheLongGoodbye Songs that have really long outros, both good or bad.
Now my choice is a song that is literally called "Long Slow Goodbye" and the song itself does have a long outro which perfectly closes the album "Lullabies To Paralyze".
#23From2023 - #QueensOfTheStoneAge – In Times New Roman (Matador). After a 6-year pause, there’s no need for QOTSA to return to form – since they’ve never flagged on any of their eight albums. This year’s set dials back the dance and prog turns of 2017’s Villains, going for the throat on supercharged anthems like “Obscenery” and “Emotion Sickness.” People tend to love or hate (or at least not get) QOTSA. This album won’t change that, but for anyone who’s a fan, it delivers.
Since I was playing Mark Lanegan yesterday, and he was briefly in QotSA, might as well catch up with their most recent...
This is clearly a QotSA album, but while it's got that going on, it's a little...dour? Drums are buried, lyrics are bitter...well, it's still solid, but boy, I hope things are looking up for Josh Homme.
The song I am currently listening to turns out to be a perfect fit for this week's #JukeboxFridayNight as this one was a tenacious #EarWorm when it was released.
Am I a #QueensOfTheStoneAge fanboy? Yes.
Am I biased when reviewing In Times New Roman? Yes.
But:
This album hits all my sweet spots. It is reduced to the best. Dry and melodic. Short, hard, simple riffs. Era Vulgaris part 2? No, better! Villains is long gone, the desert is back!
In Times New Roman is a masterpiece, 4,5 out of 5.
Woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning, and I’ve had little sleep. Put some music on and this came on random. It’s appropriate for today I think.
I recently stated boldly that "Songs For The Deaf" is a 5/5 album for me, which means nothing less than "greatest of all time" category.
The only other album I currently have in that tier is Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of The Moon.
So, time for another spin to see if I am correct:
