Reviews (page 8 of 10)
2 songs in: Digging this way more than the 1 or 2 qotsa songs that are always on the radio. Really do NOT like the repeated riff throughout 80% of “You Would Know”, but the ending of it was pretty good and catchy. I like The Bronze too. Mexicola is solid, but goes on too long. Can’t quit me baby is excellent.
not bad
As metallic as the Guns N' Roses album but without any memorable tunes.
Ok, so, this album has interesting songs, i don't think they're bad cause there were some songs that made me move my head a bit. But also in some part of the album i was like "when is this going to get over?!" because it felt like the exact same song, just different leatrics. Not completely bad, not completely good.
Good start. Not great. But pretty good.
Didn't finish. It's good. I was just busy. Will come back to it
Decent album with a few decent tracks, but not many stand out ones. Mexicola is good. Hispanic impressions. You can't quit me Baby is probably the best. A fair 4
This album is 30 minutes too long. Someone in the reviews said Josh Homme is a Dollar Store Chris Cornell and I can’t not hear that. There’s some interesting riffs at times, but again too long.
There are definitive Nirvana Grunge influences here, but that's about it. The whole album sounds generic, as if some label's A&R desperately needed to find the next Nirvana. Compositionwise, this is as bland as it gets. 2/5
What a terrible album.
i've never listened to them before this... i think initially i was impressed but as it went on i feel like it just lost my interest... i think i'll still listen to their other albums though
I don't know, I guess I have specific tastes when it comes to 90s rock and some of these albums do NOT feel like.. necessary to me. Sorry. Definitely not a bad album! Just not sure I absolutely had to listen to it really. I Was a Teenage Hand Model: absolutely favorite song on the album Regular John, You Would Know: solid track, enjoyable! Walkin' on the Sidewalks, How to Handle a Rope, Give the Mule What He Wants: close to being something I would enjoy... but not quite there Avon, If Only, Mexicola, Hispanic Impressions, You Can't Quit Me Baby: Decent but not really standouts
Really pas ma came non plus musicalement
Desert, smooth, easy, cool, takes time
i was more familiar with songs for the deaf. but this album is quintessential queens of the stone age. walking on the sidewalk was my fav track.
i had no clue what they were saying the entire time
Instrumentality they are amazing the lyrics leave a bit to be desired
Not a fan, sounded generic to me, this genre of rock isn't really my cup of tea. Didn't HATE it, but also nothing really stuck out to me
It’s ok, if you like Queens of the Stone Age. Pretty much exactly what I expected
Ah, another with great potential. Good sound, medium strength songs. But just seemed to drone on a bit and run out of ideas.
Tedious and one note, actively had me watching to see how much longer this was going to last.
Too hard for me. I hate same chords played over and over and over.
Not my fav QOTSA album, but a good album
Favourite song - Mexicola
J’avais déjà écouté un aitre de leur album, beaucoup moins de criage dans cet album-ci, mais pas sûr sûr de la partie expérimentale de la fin
Great
Do not like this album. Can't even identify the genre.
This album feels like such an early grunge knock-off. The only reason it’s not a 1 star is because of the small hints at originality towards the end of the album.
I did not like it. Grunge has never been my thing, and this album was just that. All of the songs sounded the same to me, and not a single one stuck out. The only reason this doesn’t get a 1 is because it’s still better than the stuff out today.
Josh Homme makes jukebox songs for a rundown bar in Georgia where the devil bartends. This album doesn’t have the same hook for me as the next three albums (R, Songs for the Deaf, Lullabies to Paralyze, all three get 5 stars from me)but I can appreciate the grunge roots here. In a primordial soup of reverb I can see the artifacts of the future QotSA start to surface. Album pairs nice with copious amounts of substance abuse, as all QotSA albums do. You Can’t Quit Me Baby shows off Homme’s entrancing voice the best in my opinion, and the guitar play here sounds like the first dabbles in a direction that gets perfected in “Little Sister” on Lullabies to Paralyze. Sidebar - If you enjoy his sustained notes, do your self a favor and enjoy the entire Lullabies album. One last note about You Can’t Quit Me Baby: the guitars screaming off of each other at the end was uncomfortably awesome and leads into the haggardness of the next song perfectly. I Was A Teenage Hand Model was a great pick for an ending song. It’s an odd goodbye. 3 stars.
One of my favorite albums of all time. I don’t think I’ve gone 6 months without listening to it in the past 24 years. Loved it just as much this time as I did when I first heard it in the year 2000.
Good late 90's metal. Worth the listen!
Put me to sleep to be honest. Quite dissapointed as some of the tracks of Songs for the Deaf are good.
Never really went through their backlog prior to Songs for the Deaf before this. It is exactly what I expected though. Some tracks are good, and the sound and style is easy to listen to and consistent but that also makes it a bit bland for me by the time I get to the end of the album, like I've listened to variations of the same 3 tracks a lot.
Fantastic album in its own right, but doesn't even crack a top 3 QOTSA album. That's not an indictment of this album so much as it's only a hint at the greatness the band was yet to produce. Was a hell of a way to announce their arrival, though.
Showed the potential of what they would become, but honestly was pretty medium.
fucking dope ass album. weed really helped me with this one. if this was a number scale it would probably be an 8, but after all the bullshit these last few days it's a five star.
ample amounts of distortion and fuzz. the contrast of the distortion with the “clean” vocals really works. great album. highlights: “you would know”, “mexicola”, “give the mule what he wants”.
I like this band. I like this album.
I liked this well enough but nothing stood out as great. Or bad. No problems but I don’t think I’ll listen to it again. It’s just….
Ziemlich lahmer Rock
There's some good parts in here I guess, but their later work is so much better.
Not bad but difficult to finish. Didn’t develop nearly as much as I’d hoped. Don’t understand the significance. Not bad but no songs I’d seek out again. Disappointing to be bored.
Boring! I was excited before I was rudely disrupted with a LACK OF SOUL.
Heavy movie soundtrack vibes. Too male for my current tastes. Hard to hear any of the lyrics, which is usually the most important part of a song for me. Wouldn’t seek out but does have a good tone/vibe for putting on in the background or setting a specific mood if wanted.
No conocía el grupo El album no esta mal, me ha gustado.
There really aren’t a ton of straight up rock and roll bands left - I’m glad Queens of the Stone Age is one of them. Wasn’t as familiar with this album as with their later stuff, but I enjoyed it and could hear the blueprint of where they were headed. This was cool.
Not my jam
It was alright. Lots of the same thing
If a stoner album hits good ,while deiving in a desert,then its a great album indeed. Super creative,psicotic,robotic,fuzzy. Great work by Josh and Alfredo. Must listen.
Enjoyable sludge rock. Fun listen though slightly bloated. Could trim some fat to make a tighter project. Nothing mind blowing but still decent
AWFUL. Is this from 1998? Were these people living in a basement for 25 years? I didn't like this sound when it first came out and I like it less now.
I was pleasantly surprised. I liked around half of the songs. They definitely blended together. The album was very holistic.
10/10 perfection
I'd never listened to QOTSA before, though I kind of knew what to expect after Josh Homme's collaborations with Iggy Pop (Post Pop Depression and the live album). I think this is a pretty strong album, particularly given this is a debut album.
I’d listened to most of their catalog previously, but somehow never this album. Solid stuff and you can hear the foundations for their future near perfect work (songs for the deaf).
Superb LP, great drumming and guitar work and almost a soft Ozzy style vocal performance from Joh Homme Nice!
Love Homme's voice and the opening track in particular, but only got through about 4 songs so need to go back and listen to the full thing again.
I was never a fan, but I really tried to get into it this time. No joy. I don't feel any emotion from the music. I like the genre, and there's nothing technically wrong with it, but somehow I don't connect with it. I kept having to resist giving up and listening to something else.
The first half of album was great; the second half was too jammy for me. I prefer to hear Josh singing.
I prefer some other albums over this one. First time I listened to this one though, kinda mellow compared to other albums of theirs.
Here's an interesting album right here. Queens of the Stone Age is one of those bands that I've heard good things about, but didn't really know what they were like or if I would like them. Well, after listening to their debut album, I can sort of see why people like them. The sound is interesting works to create a unique feel that I haven't heard from many other albums. The writing is kind of hit or miss for me, but has potential in my eyes. The singing is not really my thing but I can see why others might enjoy it. I feel like this album may not have been the best to represent this band however. From what I've seen, there are other albums from Queens of the Stone Age that are more beloved and deserving of being on this list. I feel like this is probably another case of "debut album syndrome" where the book just decides to represent a well-known artist through their debut album regardless of its quality or how well it represents the artist. The band does have another album on this list though, so maybe I'll like that one even more. For know, this album gets a high 3/5. EDIT: Apparently that was a mistake. There is not a second Queens of the Stone Age album on this list, which makes the inclusion of this one even more dumb. The album's still a 3.
If this were earlier on in this project, I might have given this a more generous review. As it is, after 848 albums, I didn't feel the need to listen to this again (fully admitting that I might have found that I liked it more). I liked this fine and didn't hate it whatsoever, but listening to it I just didn't feel that it was really worth my time today when I'm still waiting for Breakfast in America by Supertramp (among others).
For much of the album I had an internal conversation something like the following. "This isn't too bad, I kind of like it...You like it?!?...Yeah...Why?!?...I'm not sure...Well, it surprises me that you like it...I know, right...You still liking it?...Oh, this part is kind of irritating me. Is the record skipping and repeating the same guitar lick over and over?...Still not sure why you like this...I know, I not fully certain that I do, but there are moments when I really, really dig what I am hearing...Weird..."
I thought it would be terrible. It wasn't. But, next!
Yet another Seattle band this Seattlite hasn’t ever listened to. There was a strong Foo Fighters vibe to this, maybe a touch harder… and I mostly did like the album. The presentation is a real turn off though and I don’t know that I NEEDED to hear this. Still, perfectly good album.
Not my usual jam
Ok I guess as the stoner edgy extension of Grunge. Nothing stuck.
Annoying. Long songs that shouldn’t have existed to begin with, and definitely not for as long as they did. Started off good, ended poorly
Not my cup of tea. I can see the appeal but not my taste.
Grungy
Ugh.
Still finding their sound but a really good debut stoner-rock album.
Strong strong start with Regular John and especially Avon. Heavy, driving stuff. It's up and down after that but the good is good enough. You Can't Quit Me Baby another highlight. I listened to a reissue with extra tracks so won't fault the length. Listen on good headphones.
I've never listened to this and it was great!!! It is like grungy led Zeppelin.
All a bit samey but what’s here is decent.
Generous 3. Nothing stands out but all OK and similar.
Wow! There's a QotSA album before Rated R? Go figure! Pretty riffy, pretty cool. Kinda reminds me of my cousins band. Not the biggest Queens fan but this was pretty sweet for their first release back in the 90s. Pretty heavy!
Didn't hate, but didn't care for
Simply the beste.
Just noise
A very standard rock album. More instrumental than I thought it would be. Chord progressions are predictable. Much of the album is basically a jam session. However, it is well produced. Nothing really grabs me on this album. Every song sounds the same. Again, not sure how this one is considered one of the greatest of all time.
I like the band’s sound! They have a cool vibe.
I like Queens of the Stone Age, but no Nick Oliveri, no party... even if he does appear at the very end. Subsequent albums (Rated R, Songs for the Deaf) would be much better, and there is a still more than a little Kyuss stank hanging around here, but it's perfectly adequate for what it is (or was).
Classic rock album. Very decent, well written nice to instruments and signing. To me definitely not a game changer, but I understand it's cultural importance.
Great
Interesting but not my genre.
I love QotSA but this is a demo.
I don't hate this but I don't get it either. If I want metal I'd rather listen to Sabbath.
Excellent riffs - pretty straightforward but fun listen
Love this album
I wanted to like this more but it wasn't cohesive enough for me
It really grooves but it lacks the broodiness of Kyuss. But I think that might have been the idea of Homme on this album. A bit more straightforward repetition in the riffs. And it works incredibly well.
This record, along with Rated R got a lot of play from me back when they were released, and I got to see them on the Rated R tour, naked-ass Nick Oliveri and all. With each subsequent record following Rated R, my interest in this band began to wane exponentially, but these first two are records I really like and will revisit every once in a while. 4 stars. Rated R is the one that should be on the list, though.
I enjoyed it! I just prefer their other albums; really like the sound, it's just maybe too long for its songs to be this repetitive. but there are some good riffs and vocals, like on If Only. with a couple more listens it could grow a little bit more on me :D
Powerful sounds come from QOTSA, one of the bands I reviewed on a little fanzine when I was in my twenties. I hadn't listened to this album for several years, and I must say that it still retains the power of 90s rock.
Really solid sound. I didn’t like this originally, but it’s really grown on me over the years.
I honestly didn't know Queens... have been around since the mid-90s. And honestly, the music sounds ahead of its time. No particular song stands out better or worse than the rest, but I think that's what makes it work. This is an album I could have running in the background while talking among friends and no one would react one way or another. It's good neutral music.
Yeah. YEAH. I love me some QOTSA, but I'll admit I haven't given the self-titled album much of a shot. I became a fan of Josh Homme and the Queens on the Songs for the Deaf album. This band has been so consistently solid from this record to their latest release, "In Times New Roman." The only downside to this album is it's a little bit droning at times. The diet-grunge guitar and bass lines are lost in monotony at times.
Didn’t expect to enjoy that as much as I did! Great for a hungover Monday morning 3.5
Most memorable thing is the cover art tbh; unique song names but underwhelming sound
Meh
there's something a little interesting about this band. I think they have some decent melody hooks over the stoner rock groove sound. Not enough to make a reason to listen to it and the way it sounds makes my ears tired. Will give them a 3 because I think this is at least somewhat unique. music: hated. (⌐■_■)
I know these guys are pretty well regarded, especially Homme as a guitar player. Not 100% sure what my expectations were, but I definitely did not expect it to sort of just be Butt Rock.
I've always almost liked QotSA, but I'd never heard this album. This album I really enjoyed. Great variety and some unique sounds. Not too produced.
It's ok
Wowzers! I thought this would be absolutely OK, serviceable, slightly irksome rock. I know later QOTSA pretty well and thought it was fine, but this is much better IMHO. The guitar and drums were really tight and fierce, but the thing that really stands out is the quality of vocals. Just fantastic. It was generally nice and varied, if possibly a tiny bit too repetitive to sneak into the five star bracket. Great stuff though.
Better than I expected. No real hits but enjoyable enough.
DK // 1. Catchy little song. Something fun nothing too crazy or out there. 2. Nice guitar and drums, not the biggest fan of this song. 3. Why does the guitar only play in my right ear most of the song? If this is an intentional choice it is a horrible one when the best part of your instrumental is limited to only one ear, made it a painful listen with headphones. Shame because the guitar is amazing and in the middle when there's two separate guitar tracks playing one in each ear, it actually works and is really cool. Such an amazing track ruined by what I feel is a mixing mishap. 4. Cool track, nothing really stands out for me maybe the little guitar solo at the end. 5. Not really my vibe, probably the first song on this album I actively disliked, didn't like the vocal performance, and the guitar seemed very repetitive. *6. My favorite song so far, full of energy and the GUITARRRRRRR. Great song however as far as I understand, this was only included in the 2011 re-release of the album. 7. Cool track, loving the guitar solo's in the outro's. 8. Nice sonically sounding track. 9. Not really impressed at all by this instrumental track. 10. Definitely a song. 11. Borrrringggggggg, another bad instrumental track 12. Actually liked this one, the chorus was catchy and the guitar sounded groovy. 13. the first half of this instrumental track I disliked, but the second half definitely had something really nice going to it. **14. This song was pretty great and I liked the story behind it too. Honestly, it felt like the latter half of this album wanting it to just finish, every single song just seemed so lifeless with no changes, no real direction, they all really blended in with each other. Maybe stoner rock just isn't for me but I definitely did not enjoy this. Favourite Tracks: 1. The Bronze 2. Give the Mule What He Wants 2. I Was a Teenage Hand Model Rating - 1/5 // Being partial to 90s rock I imagined I'd really love this album. After listening to the first song I thought I was right, however, The rest of the LP feels pretty uninspired. This project doesn't include anything you wouldn't have heard before. Thematically very similar OK Computer, another 90s rock classic, however, Queens of the Stone Age is far less introspective and feels much more shallow. Didn't finish, didn't enjoy it. Only enjoyable songs were Regular John and The Bronze. 1/5
I've listened to a fair share of Queens of the Stone Age and I think there's definitely better albums from them with Songs for the Deaf being a prime example. This one got some nice tunes with good riffs here and there but lack something and it's a step down from Josh Homes previous band Kyuss.
Heavy, danceable rock that sounds like a modern take on Can. It's hardly controversial to say that this isn't their best album though. QOTSA were still establishing their sound at this point. Later albums including Like Clockwork or Era Vulgaris would have been easy 5s.
don't really like this band.
Negla. My jam.
Það eru þarna 2-3 lög með stoner rock drungafílingnum sem ég elska við QotSA. Restin er því miður rúnk. Ekki gott rúnk. Heldur finnst mér þetta stundum tilviljanakennt og óklárað.
Skrýtin plata að velja. Allt í lagi rokk, en ekkert merkilegt að gerast. Er ekki að fara að hlusta á þessa aftur.
Zunächst klassischer fetter (wenn auch etwas eintöniger) Quotsa-Sound, ab der Hälfte driftet ins Instrumentale und teils Experimentelle ab. 2,5-3
One of the last of the great rock bands. I do kind of prefer Kyuss, but let's not be churlish. They proved that there was life after Nirvana, and Guns and Roses, though not as much as a rock fan might like. Strong songs, well played, with longish jams. Turn it up, grab your tennis racket, and air guitar for the rest of the night. Rock may not have much more to do, but it will never really die...
Ok music for hump day morning. Propulsive highly repetitive and fewlyrics. A bit hypnotic and slightly trance inducing. Like religion in way... You can let is wash by I wondered about the lyrics. They are mumbled or muffled. Reading them reveals little, it's minimal. Brief themes. Very simple, leaving the word to resonate, including pensive synonyms for noose. If I enjoyed this and wanted more of this, maybe this can be the gateway drug to trying Tool some more. Rounding up to 4 as I'd like to listen to more of them...
I’ve heard the odd track from QOTSA over the years, but I’ve never listened to a whole album before. Really enjoyed this. Particularly If Only, Regular John & the exquisitely- titled I Was A Teenage Hand Model. Would not know how to categorise the band’s music but, whatever it is, it’s tight, & very enjoyable.
I am a huge Kyuss fan, and really liked the more rockin' QOTSA albums. I am surprised that this is the one QOTSA album on the list, and especially given that this album has been so hard to find, and made (frankly) little popular impression. But it is a bit of a transitional piece, with some recognizable Kyuss qualities (yay!) and a clear indication of where QOTSA was heading. Josh Homme's guitar and vocals are distinctive, and his penchant for a nice vocal melody make his work in the field of heavy rock stand out. I do get a bit tired with the way a lot of contemporary metal is either cookie monster screaming or operatic wailing (or both!). Homme writes and sings actual songs, you know? I am really surprised that they chose this record over 'Rated R' or 'Songs for the Deaf' (which are superior examples of this oeuvre, and also sold a gazillion copies, at a time when heavy rock was not entirely fashionable). I saw QOTSA at the Metro Theatre in 2001, touring on the back of 'Rated R', and they were awesome. They played a few songs from this record. I really liked how much Josh Homme was prepared to hold back on his playing in service to the song. For all of his reputation as a gun player, my recollection is he played a lot of the set like Johnny Ramone. Lots of fast downstroke power chords, and not many solos, because that was what required to rock the most. He opened up a bit at the end of the night, and tore it up (especially with the encore, which was my favourite Kyuss song, Supa Scoopa and Mighty Scoop) 4/5 would recommend, would listen again, would buy.
Didn't really stand out to me but it's a solid rock album
It was okay, however really funky and weird outro
What a terribly boring and generic album... While listening to it, it seemed like no song really stand out. This definitely isn't my style. This album however has some qualities, including some very good musicians (especially liked the guitar solo in the sixth song, "The Bronze").
Good album.
I can feel anger in the instruments, and boredom in the voice. How unusual. Yet, the whole album is too monotonous, repetitive.
It is not bad but a bit monotonous for it's lenght. Later albums are better.
Can't get behind this band.
fun rock album
Solid album. I like most of Josh Homme's musical output. A few tunes dropped would've made this a classic for me.
I'm sure there's skill here but man this is not my vibe. I want it tighter or looser or angrier or calmer. It sits in some middle that just doesn't connect with me. I can't imagine anyone wanting to start a band to sound like this. Instrumental of You Can't Quit Me Baby I did get into for a bit. They are skilled for sure, I'm just not sure what they're doing with it. The Spiders song has a good vibe. Maybe these guys should fire the singer and do soundtracks.
Rock that feels kind of flat and souless. To much of the album sounds the same. It's fine, but not for me.
😴😴😴 I wish ‘Songs for the Deaf’ was on this list instead. Or ‘Like Clockwork’ for that matter. I thought this was a snoozefest.
Going in, I was only familiar with Go With the Flow and 3's & 7's, neither of which are on this album, so this was all new to me. Maybe this band is one you have to listen to more than once to really enjoy it. The songs were interesting, sometimes experimental, but nothing really grabbed me on first listen. I wish the singer put a little more effort in, or maybe lazy, laid back vocals is what he's going for? On the plus side, it wasn't boring, had cool guitar and drum parts. Just average or slightly above to me.
Solid rock, the songs with incessant Sabbathy grinding grabbed me, sandy aftertaste. Not sure I’d return to.
more interesting than I predicted, not as good as their later work [edit - downgraded on a second listen, dull and sludgy]
Flawless
ik voelde m wel
"if you're not blind and deaf, how can we pollute your head?" I'm a pretty big fan of some of the stuff that the queens of the stone age put out, especially a lot of the stuff from "songs for the deaf." this album started off insanely strong with 3 bangers in a row... then it just sucked the rest of the hour. By the third song, I thought I might've found another 5 star, or 4 atleast, and by the end, I think this album will be lucky to get a 3. Regular John is getting added to the playlist, and has the queens of the tstone age sound that I've come to expect. As does Avon and If Only. The only song that has any promise beyond those first 3 tracks is Mexicola with a really nice riff and drum breaks. 3/5
I thought I would dig this more but most the album was incoherent mumbling alongside slick, distorted guitar riffs. A couple good songs but an album I wouldn't pick up again.
I went to college in California in the mid-2000s, so I heard a lot of Queen of the Stone Age. I do not like Queen of the Stone Age. They were boring when I was 18, and they’re boring at 35.
10/10
Great riffs drive every song. A little too long and I’m quite glad I can’t understand those bizarrely written lyrics when he’s singing but overall excellent (and I despise hard rock)! The finish is nice and soft. 5 stars.
Good but they've done better
3.5 rounded up. Not the QOTSA album I'd choose to have on here but some gems on it and some interesting sounds, textures, and production. Lots of raw energy and a great balance of aggression and catchiness on a lot of the tracks
bit repetitive but they be shredding
Старый (старый? 1998) рок, вроде глэм рок, что прикол и нетипично. Слушается приятно, ира даже пританцовывать начала. Но я что-то думаю что DjangoDjango был лучше. Так что 3.
I got into QOTSA through Lullabies to Paralyse, and have checked out basically everything they’ve done since but their debut, so this was an interesting experience. It’s a clear blueprint, everything that Josh Homme & Co. would go onto record is hinted at here, and so if you’re a fan then it’s well worth checking out. It’s interesting to see how well they had achieved their signature sound even by the first album, but also how they’ve allowed themselves to evolve it. And while I’m glad for the excuse to have finally get round to listening to it, the self titled isn’t the album I’d have picked to represent QOTSA on the list. Songs For The Deaf or Like Clockwork… would have been better choices
Really cool debut album! The band grow bigger over the years and I love most of their work. Josh Homs is very impressive on guitar and vocals and this is a very good starting point to discover the band! 8 out of 10
Not good
I've been listening to QOTSA nonstop for like 6 months so this is fitting. Great album. Josh with a guitar is even sexier than this cover.
It's a fun album full of energy, great fuzzy guitars. Not their best but a very solid first release.
Competent if uninspiring metal. Think of the metal/rock classics of the 70s that you love, then realise that this album is simply a derivative, a facsimilie, a gaping expression of meh.
This album smells like oil and gasoline
Not too shabby
QOTSA never really clicked with me before, but I enjoyed this a lot; I guess I was in the mood for it today. Some great sounding guitar in here, and I actually think Homme's voice suits the music well.
B- Regular John 3 Avon 4 If Only 3 Walkin' on the Sidewalks 3 You Would Know 3 How to Handle a Rope 3 Mexicola 3 Hispanic Impressions 2 You Can't Quit Me Baby 3 Give the Mule What He Wants 3 I Was a Teenage Hand Model 3 Author of this list being pressured on 3rd and 17: "F*** it, [British rock group] gotta be de down there somewhere."
No me gusta tanto es muy ruidoso. Pero la atmósfera que crea es tremenda y seguro en vivo sean una masa.
Great album, good bit of variety, nice instrument works. Good skills here from QotSA
So I was bemoaning that this was the only Queens album on the list, despite Rated R being one of the most well reviewed rock albums of the 2000s and Songs for the Deaf I think now generally considered a landmark. This is great, I cannot deny. I don’t have the same love as their next two albums but I can’t disagree with it’s inclusion
Hm. V poho. Neprepnem to, ani nezapnem. Celý album mi bol ale priveľa.
The first Queens album isn't polished. A little grittier sounding than later records. Not my favorite of theirs, but a good time nonetheless. I listened to the reissue that's all over streaming services, which adds three extra songs. While the songs are pretty good, the added length is unnecessary. Goes from a tight 45-ish minutes to an hour.
SUBLIME
So fun. Husband was right, I liked it!
I'd give it three and a half if I could.
Soft 4
I dunno. Whatever. Noisy? Not for me.
Pretty unmemorable, and I listened to it twice. But not bad
Not the most polished nor varied Queens of the Stone Age album. Still some great riffs and hooks from a very young Josh Homme. I always loved Mexicola, Avon, and The Bronze.
I do not deny that this album rocks, but I also know that this is not really my cup of tea. A great debut album, even though this isn't exactly a group of musicians who are young and hadn't worked together before.
4 stars.
Meh, it's ok. I've never really been a fan and this hasn't changed my opinion. It's not bad, just not for me. Too Zeppelin influenced for my tastes, and I like Zeppelin but everyone seems to forget that style is only half of what makes a band great. The other half is writing really good songs. These guys are in the same bucket for me as Soundgarden and Tool. They're ok, but not really what I like about 90's rock.
Some good old rock. It got alot of energy, cool riffs and overall enjoyed the album. I will gladly hear it again
Classic stoner sound
Grunge. Not bad but ...
I feel like I should like Queens of the Stone Age but I just don't.

Queens of the Stone Ages have never clicked with me. I just find it grating, and frustrating to listen to. There was some great guitar work in this record, and some nice songwriting, I can see the appeal of it. It's just not for me.
Good music
An ok sound but I’m not going to finish this album so it’s going to be a “1”
This isn't the best of Queens of the Stone Age, but in terms of introducing their offbeat, almost villainous, sound this gets the job done. Definitely enjoyed, but not my favorite of their works.
Very nostalgic for me
Good, not great. Mostly just something I'd throw on in the background, not actively seek out to listen to.
I've only ever heard more recent stuff from queens of the stone age and never loved it, but compared to this, those albums at least have some unique and interesting artistic qualities even if they aren't for me. the best words to describe this are boring and generic
yes purrr ate!
I like the Queens of the Stone Age and I like the album. That being said, I don't think this is their greatest album and I was surprised to find it in this kind of list. Still enjoyable, especially if you like this kind of music.
It had me until the very end of the very last track, than I was like WTF? But I won't let that ruin it for me. All in a very enjoyable listen. I could see myself coming back to it some day.
This album was okay. There were some moments that sounded a little Pearl-Jammy, some that sounded like other—I guess—stoner rock. I can't think of examples because it hit me as very generic. Perhaps this group pioneered the sound—I don't know—and if that's the case, I'm sorry that their work was diluted in a sea of copycats. Or, I'm happy for them for starting a trend? I suppose my favorite tracks are the ones added at the end, Spiders and Vinegaroons (present on the rereleased version) and I Was a Teenage Hand Model. The electronic experimentation on the tracks stand out enough from the rest of the album that they at least strike me as interesting. I didn't really dislike anything on this album, so I might come back to it one day.
This was good.
I enjoyed it well enough. Wouldn't mind listening again sometime.
My socks are still firmly in place. I never saw the draw of Queens of the Stone Age. It is serviceable rock.
Felt like unfinished and immature compared to their later albums.
Solid rock album. Some jump out moments. I liked hispanic impressions, might put it in a playlist. Album overal didnt wow me but its good, might relisten or delve deeper into qotsa You cant quit me baby is pretty aight
Good band. Good album
Not heard this album before and I quite like Queens of the Stone Age. I don't like it quite as much as the stuff of theirs I already know but their overall sound is as good as ever, with the screeching guitars and driving bass. Liked it. Standout Track: If Only
I love the more rawness of this album compared to some of later QOTSA albums. Some great tracks, Regular John, If Only, You can't Quit Me and Mexicola are some of favorite QOTSA tracks. Couple song like You would Know and Hispanic Impressions are kinda duds and the album get's a little repetitive, but what album by them doesn't. Still one of there better albums.
QotSA is a band I never think of listening to but always enjoy. They have a distinct sound but for some reason I always think of Blue Oyster Cult. I don’t know why.
This isn't my favorite from this band. I could hear some of the promise that gets fulfilled on the later albums, but it just wasn't there yet. On it's own, it's ok.
I like this album, and it was the first time I heard it all the way through in a while. It's good and I'm glad I listened to it again. But I like some of the later QofSA stuff a little bit more.
Hey, that's pretty good :nods:
Definitely sounds like QOTSA but certainly a lot more raw. Good stuff
I didn't like this one.
Tired of drum beat songs ☠️
Decent, but way too long. Just could never really get into QOTSA. 2.5/5
Fucking good band my friends, fucking good band indeed.
never got what all the fuss was about. regular john avon how to handle a rope mexicola you can't quit me baby
I was never a big fan of Queens if the Stone Age, mostly because I thought of Josh Homme as kind of a prick. They have few very catchy songs in their discography, but Ixwas never interested enough to take a deep dive into their albums. So this was my first experience with that and the result was average. Interesting first song, very much in southern style, but then every next track sounds like an exact copy of it. Josh has a great voice, but it isn't enough to hold your interest for the whole song. If something stands out, I would pick "Walkin on the Sidewalks" because of a great, atmospheric outro. Otherwise, nothing special.
Not their best album... but it's good! Great fuzz tone on the opening track! Kind of a motorik beat... like a louder krautrock. Walkin on the Sidewalks has a very good driving bass growl going on! How to Handle a Rope too! These guitar tones and grooves are very good! It's a little too much of the same... I wish some songs were a little slower and a tad more interesting. Still it's very well done! I think the Songs for the Deaf had the benefit of having Dave Grohl on it to really put it over the edge. Really digging You Can't Quit Me Baby. Good change of pace. As it stands, I feel like I'm gravitating more towards a 3... I don't know what it's missing. Maybe it's just the swagger and vocals that don't really do it for me. It’s too cool for school.
2.5 Not bad, but nothing stood out much either
This was aight, the fact that I have nothing to say about it makes me feel like it’s a 3
Like Radiohead, my knowledge of Queens of the Stone Age is more limited than I’d thought. I really only knew the classics like “No One Knows,” “Make It Wit Chu,” and “I Sat by the Ocean” coming into this listen, so their first album (which was apparently released only a couple of weeks after I was) is new to me. They start strong in “Regular John,” establishing their almost pleading sound that has come to define their vocal style. Other tracks hint at dystopian undertones from “free range humans all cooped up” in “Avon” to “a world that’s full of shit and gasoline, babe” in “Mexicola.” I’m impressed at the three pure instrumentals in the back half of a debut album. The six-plus minute “Spiders and Vinegaroons” is the best of them, and while it can’t decide whether it’s a cult-like western chant or a spooky space odyssey, that indecisiveness might just be a positive. This isn’t a record full of hits, but it does set the stage for a rock band that has enjoyed success for more than two decades since. It has enough consistency to work to and enough variety to stay interesting. Maybe I should listen to these guys more often.
Not their finest due to the recording quality. They improved massively later.
I was really looking forward to this one because I've heard good things about Queens of the Stone Age. All I can say is... meh. The riffs are repetitive. The songs are literally only 3 chords. All are between 120 and 140 bpm. And the lyrics are non-sensical. What is there to hold onto here? This album was boooo-ring!
Good except some annoying instrumentals/experimental sounding stuff, which were really terrible sounding
I’m not mad, this just isn’t really my vibe. I did enjoy a couple of the instrumental tracks though. 3 stars for the talent I recognize it takes to create these tracks. I respect the art, I’m just not hanging it on my wall any time some.
Super repetitive, trying desperately to convince that Hard Rock is deep, rather than just guitar strumming and basic drum tempos. Every song starts out like "oh this is good... yep it's the exact same." 2.8
Tries to do some really interesting things, but much of it just never lands. Lyrically strange, but not in a fun or compelling way. Musically wants to be innovative, but never fully commits to make it. 2/5 Won't listen again
Bit of chore to listen to, the reissue even more so since it's a revisionist version with "bonus" tracks sprinkled in instead being tacked on at the end---it was already too long, dudes.
Fantastic effort
I was bored almost the whole time. There were moments I felt were slightly redeeming but not many. I did think it was cohesive enough.
Among the better 90s rock I’ve heard on this list. Occasionally reminds me of early Sabbath’s doom metal sound, but often it sounds like a toned-down grunge
It's just not for me
Interesting tactic, sprinkling the bonus tracks throughout the album instead of pinning them to the end. If you listened to an album longer than 11 tracks today, blame streaming. Anyway, the cover is hideously 1998. Later Queens covers are pretty nice, but this is like one of those club flyers that show up on your windshield after you walk out of a Best Buy, the kind that remind you there's a whole world out there that you don't belong to. I didn't get any favorites out of this, but I do like the sound of all of this. I think the ideas and choices here are all pretty strong even if they don't break through. For 1998 rock, this is pretty good.
Pretty funny how they got it right first time of asking. Rock and roll ain't hard - some low-slung, pulverizing riffs, vocals thick with attitude and drums that sound ready for take-off. Another thing - this sounds so good on a decent set of speakers. Really full but also full of space. The fuzzed up bass is a really nice touch, seems to make everything else appear a mite bigger. Great!
Not even in my top 3 Queens records, but what a pleasant surprise to see this on the list at all. Maybe we'll get one of the Kyuss records? Nah, who am I kidding. Anyway, the guitar and drums make me happy. I just like that sound. I like that the riffs lean repetitive and heavy, like it's just almost metal, and yet it for sure is something else entirely. "How to Handle," "Mexicola," and "Hispanic Impressions" are a stellar trio in the middle of this sandwich. They'd get better at writing choruses and songs in general, but the seeds of what's to come are definitely sticking up in the soil here. Flip it to the neck pickup, crank the fuzz and have at it.
Good album, really worth it to listen on headphones.
Best Song: I Was a Teenage Hand Model. Even though the softness runs contrary to the energy that I really like from QOTSA, it shows that they really can sing. Worst Song: You Can't Quit Me Baby. Here's where the stoner wandering schtick starts to lose some of its lustre. It's a fine groove, but that speeding crescendo at the end fizzles into a disappointing nothing, leaving you to wonder what was the point. Overall: This is Queens of the Stone Age before they had really refined their sound, and it shows. The elements are their - the guitar tone, the slick sleaziness - but you can tell they're still working things out. There are better QOTSA albums that should be here instead.
Good, but not great
It's been 25 years since I was in high school, but this reminds me heavily of the kind of zone I was in then. I still listen to QOTSA anytime I wanna just chill. (I did like Songs for the Deaf better, tbh)
3.5
Not as good as Songs for the Deaf, but pretty good
major riffage, i dig
Yes actually this is pretty, pretty good (perhaps the kind of album Larry David would listen to to wind other people up). All-round sleazy vibes and the world-weary flat vocals work a treat. Could be signficantly shorter and then would go up from 3 to 4.
This is good, but has alot of fluff. I know there are significantly better albums out there by this band, so odd choice to put on list
Clean rock where you can see the beginnings of the QotSa sound. Unrefined to their late sounds but still enjoyable 7/10
Forgettable
Not much of a fan of 90s hard rock.
I'm a sucker for fuzz guitar, and this album has plenty of that. That and big, crunchy bass, which also gets me. This album reminds me of a modern take on one of the earlier Black Sabbath albums, and that isn't a bad thing, despite my pretty mixed views of Black Sabbath. My partner was not a fan of this album despite both of us being big fans of Them Crooked Vultures' (currently) sole album, which surprises me, because listening to this, I don't see what this doesn't have that that album does. Just really enjoyable. I'm actually pretty close to giving this a five, but there's just some small things holding it back such as the goofier sounding instrimental track, the straight up creepy sounding ending, and the realitive repetitiveness of it all, it could stand to be shorter. Otherwise, really enjoyed this, and if this is a weak QotSA record according to some fans, then I really need to give their discography a listen.
90s rock, baby
For some reason this album felt really long. It was an hour which is longer than some but some songs just dragged. It started strong, too, but by the end, that last song hurt my ears with all the sonics sounds like it was trying to shut my brain off with effective power. That criticism aside, I did enjoy some pieces of this.
I don't know much of anything about QOTSA, aside from some people telling me I look like Josh Homme. This is their debut, and for a debut it's extremely confident. Some killer riffs, lots of exploratory guitar work and sounds. I especially loved the weird, freakout noises that close out the album, what a way to end things. Enjoyed this much more than I thought I would. Solid rock album for sure. Favorite tracks: Regular John, If Only, You Would Know, Spiders and Vinegaroons, I Was a Teenage Hand Model. Album art: A bit risque if I do say so myself. It's the scantily-clad torso of a woman. I've seen this before, it's memorable for sure but the image quality, is it this low everywhere? No idea. But a good cover. 4/5
Fun album, not my favorite QOTSA album, Rated R and Songs for the Deaf being the top contenders. Lot of fun riffs on If Only, Avon , How to Handle a Rope.
QotSA is incredible and are one of my favorite bands. This album is very good, but not as polished as their later work. I love Josh's vocals - they compliment the heavy instrumentals perfectly. The album is long enough, so there is no need for bonus tracks from the reissue, but they are great nonetheless. The music only gets better from here and I would rather the list have included Songs for the Deaf and Like Clockwork, which are absolute masterpieces. Fave songs: Regular John, Avon, If Only, Mexicola
It would be a 4/5 if the whole album continued as strongly as it starts, but towards the end it feels a bit same-y.
pretty solid rock album mostly, pretty weed friendly i’d say. cool vocals and lots of heavy riffage. it is a tad long and not every song is great. definitely should’ve cut it down. i love the lofi sound and i’ll probably spin a few tracks again!
The 90's produced a lot of good, heavy hard rock, grungy bands that may have been overlooked, because they had a similar generic sound and look and got lost in the crowded alternative scene. Queens of the Stone Age is one of those bands that I overlooked and didn't really listen to that much. The sound is heavy and their debut album starts off strong with a stretch of solid rockin' songs. I like their sound and the songs were good, but there are so many other bands from this era that I liked better. To me, their music isn't very memorable and I honestly can't remember what I listened to yesterday. Good, but not great.
The behemoth begins.
Jullie hadden vast een weddenschap staan: die Leo R. vindt dit vast niks. Maar neuh, ik heb deze nu al een paar keer geluisterd. Okee, niet met het volume op 10. Toch vind ik het eigenlijk best goed. Zou het de positieve invloed zijn van het luisteren van deze top-1001? Dit soort muziek is het lekkerst als er levenslust uit spreekt.
De basis wordt gelegd door stevig gitaarwerk. Om het te doorbreken heeft de band allerlei bijgeluidjes. Soms ook met de gitaar, soms hoor je iets heel anders als een telefoon. Die bijgeluidjes zouden eind jaren 90 vaak een prima zelfstandige melodielijn kunnen vormen voor typische breakbeatnummers uit die tijd. Zo geeft dit album een grappig tijdsbeeld. Het geheel voelt een beetje als spelen en ontdekking. Het is allemaal wel grappig. Echt eruit springen doet het ook weer niet. Ik houd het op drie sterren.
Disclaimer: dit is een rating voor Songs for the Deaf van QotSA. Waarom? Lees vooral verder. We kennen inmiddels de bizarre obsessie van de makers van deze snoblijst met debuutalbums. Debuutalbums zijn soort van heilig. Maar laat me dan bij dit album uitleggen, waarom dat niet terecht is. Overigens, vind ik dit helemaal geen slecht album, ik zou het prima een 4 kunnen geven. Maar dit is by far niet het beste album van QotSA. De kenners weten dat deze band voortkomt uit het roemruchte Kyuss, een soort grondlegger van de desert- en stonerrock. Als je die stroming in deze lijst wil hebben of dit QotSA-album ziet als een soort grondlegger, pak dan een album van Kyuss. De muziek van QotSA evolueert juist verder in een meer radiovriendelijk geluid en gaat via Rated R, door naar het hoogtepunt van Songs for the Deaf. Vervolgens worden er nog een paar prima albums gemaakt (die niet het niveau hebben van Songs for the Deaf) en inmiddels is er net weer een nieuw album uit. Als je dan slechts 1 album wil pakken van QotSA (ook daarover kunnen de meningen verschillen), dan zou dat voor de meeste mensen Songs for the Deaf zijn. Maar nee, deze snoblijst moet weer alleen het debuutalbum in de lijst zetten. Volstrekt onbegrijpelijk. Gelukkig is de muziek te lekker om er lang in te blijven en geef ik dus 5 sterren. Voor Songs of the Deaf.
Damnit. I deleted my review on accident. Anyway, Regular John stands out immediately due to its sampling on Skepta's "Man" (great song btw). As for the song itself, it was fine, but didn't really go anywhere. Avon starts with some metallish guitar riff progression and falls into a grungy midsection that evokes Alice In Chains with less angst. Fine song all said. If Only is a rock song. I can tell by the way that it is. Production drowns out the guitar noodling in a layer of fuzz, which I find an interesting choice. I actually really like Walkin on the Sidewalks. Something about the riff works to propel the song and makes me want to nod along. Once again, getting some Alice In Chains vibes. You Would Know is kind of boring, but forgivable. Also, interesting to find a bonus track in the middle of an album; The Bronze is a jammy adventure that has some elements that make me think of Dismemberment Plan. One of the best from Side A. Mexicola makes me think of Tool for some reason. I think it is the similarity of the bass line to Schism during the intro. Hispanic Impressions is a pretty interesting instrumental jam. I'm about it. You Can't Quit Me Baby is a low key jam. Sludgy for the most part, but gives way to some smooth guitar solo work at the end that descends rapidly into chaos. Has a sort of jazz-fusion quality to it. Droids is a proggy sludge-fest instrumental -- feels like something Umphrey's would fill with. All in all, I'm more into this album that I expected from the outset. 4/5
Did little for me.
I like Queen queen better than these queens. Not too bad however, I wouldn’t download anything
Straight forward, no big derivations, it‘s plain and a bit too simple but also kind of intriguing. Sometimes a bit too Proto-Foo Fighters but towards the 2nd half it gains a groovy density (also due to the accoustic dominated pieces). 3.7
Surprisingly good if a tad generic. A wannabe super group that ultimately sounds like Soundgarden without Chris Cornell. An apt comparison is when members of Duran Duran branched out to form The Power Station and Arcadia. Dave Grohl apparently rides hard for this band, which shouldn't matter one way or another but bugs me to the point that I feel like every white dude I despise bought this album on CD. I prefer the Eagles of Death Metal, a more interesting offshoot.
Another one that I've never listened to at all before. I've always enjoyed QOTSA singles but never really understood why they got so much attention. However, I do now! Listening to this at full blast in the car on a hot sticky summer's day made me feel like I was driving across the deserts of New Mexico instead of semi rural Leinster. It's such a unique sound, I'm going to have to go and listen to their other albums now and see how they hold up. If I can stop listening to this one that is, just finished my 4th listen!
I like hair metal as much as the next guy, but this is just jerking off with guitars.
I liked the opening track a lot, but as the album goes on it just gets more and more one-note and flat
Josh Homme's voice isn't great on this album and it's not helped by the poor vocal recording quality. The music here isn't as good as on their future albums either. A couple songs are catchy but I mostly wished I was listening to Songs for the Deaf or Like Clockwork instead. This album is too long even without the unnecessary instrumental tracks. I had heard this before and didn't like it much - today's listen didn't change that.
Reminds of of rockband a lot. Makes me want to play. Evelyn yelled "WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO!!!!" while I was listening. Would listen to it again.
Power chords for days. Super repetitive and just drones on. Singer doesn't even sound like he wants to be there, his voice is so sterile and emotionless. Had to take a break during this album and couldn't wait to finish.
I think I accidentally listened to this album on shuffle while cutting the grass. That has nothing to do with the rating but I was just confused when it ended with the last song being in the middle of the album. As for the actual album, it was alright. None of the songs really stood out to me. I wanted to like it because I like a few Queens of the Stone Age songs that came out later.
This is nothing special couldn't really get into any song.
The sound they have in this album is like what I think of when I think of 90's/early 2000's rock music. I like the sound that they have going on but it kinda drags on. It is a 1-hour album but it feels like 1.5x as long. If it was trimmed down I would give it a better review. This is a high 3/5
Killer first half, slows down at the end but still a very good debut with greater things to come obviously; 3.5 stars.
Queens of the Stone Age's self-titled debut album is a relentless and powerful sonic assault that sets the stage for their distinct brand of desert rock. Released in 1998, it showcases their heavy guitar riffs, aggressive rhythms, and Josh Homme's commanding vocals. Tracks like "Regular John" and "Avon" highlight the band's raw energy and captivating songwriting. The album's production is gritty and unpolished, adding to its raw appeal. While it may not reach the same level of refinement as their later releases, Queens of the Stone Age is a thrilling and gritty introduction to the band's signature sound, making it a must-listen for fans of hard-hitting rock music.
Not it for me bruv
Yes, some of the guitarwork is very good, but too much of this US macho music for me, give me e.g. Ragte ATM of Husker Du anytime if you want good, energetic, aggressive music.
I love Queens of the Stone Age but for some reason haven't listened to this album. I wish I would have sooner! Listened to it twice in a row today.
3.5
A fine record, but without a doubt a bad choice for a QOTSA album on such a list.
Meh, it was fine. Nothing really grabbed me though.
Nunca he podido entenderlos. Hay algunas canciones que me gustan, pero no están en este disco.
This album reminds me of the time that the guy from Queens of the Stone Age kicked that woman photographer in the face during a performance and somehow completely got away with it.
Not my favorite record by them but it’s a solid debut
un peu brut, un peu redondant, mais un titre comme "If Only" sauve beaucoup de choses.
Not as good as Kyuss, the Melvins, or Electric Wizard (none of which made this list), it sounds more like a less-produced Soundgarden. 3/5
This is a good band I'd like to explore more.
Fuck yeah QotSA
guitar work was pretty pedestrian
Je ne m'attendais vraiment pas à un album avec un son si stoner que ça, mais c'est accueilli à bras ouvert. C'est pas l'album le plus lourd que j'ai entendu, mais c'est rafraichissant comme son et c'est le genre parfait pour introduire quelqu'un à ce style. Généralement j'ai trouvé les compositions intéressantes et l'album s'écoutait tout seul. Je préfère grandement cela à ce que QOTSA ont fait dernièrement. 8/10
Boring ahh album
Pretty solid debut album. Gritty and raw, but enough hard rock riffs to get the job done. Not a masterpiece but enjoyable.
alright catchy cover
cool
I was hopeful for this album but it was quite dull and interspersed with points of monotonous repetitions that went on way too long
3.5
Fuzz stoner rock, very cool. Classic queens
Groovy melodic heavy music.
I thought this was an odd choice for the single QOTSA album on the list. It’s a good album but it’s not quite the polished product that would come later.
When Suede broke up, they must have given all their fuzz boxes to the Queens of the Stone Age. Everything has fuzz, even the bass. This album rocks. 3.75 stars.
I actually enjoyed this quite a bit. I’ve heard of Queens of the Stone Age, but never really listened. Like my Dad likes to say “extra star for real instruments.”
I’ll be honest I didn’t listen to this all the way. Loved the rock from what I heard but can we just talk about the song titles???? This album could have some of the best song names known to man.
Great guitar sound, good heavy rock. Definitely loses focus from time to time but overall definitely makes a good statement. I would say this is a less pretentious “Funeral.” Extra star for real guitar and drums, as they say.
Another album that has great instrumentals and is ruined for me by the vocals. It sounds like the vocals are turned down, combined with the lead singer mumbling a lot of the words and not being to understand him. That alone made me not very interested. VERY good instrumental though. Whoever the guitarist is was impressive.
Bit boring innit
nice guitar but not really my style
I am glad I found this album. I never paid much attention to QOTSA but if this album is any indication, I will have to listen more.
Heard it before?: No Enjoy it?: Yeah it’s alright, I find QOTSA rather lacklustre though considering that talent they possess with their members Favourite song: didn’t have one on this
