queens of the stone age = bizarre



ok so in my quest to listen to new music on my way to work, this morning i listened to 'rated r' by the queens of the stone age. i think this was their first album, and boy was it a mistake this morning!

its not that its a bad albu or even bad music, its just that i cant place what type of music it is, i mean every song is so different from the last one that its hard to get into any kind of rhytem. they seem to have become alot bigger since this album was released, with much rockier songs, so im assuming they decided to head in that one direction, and i would have to agree the heavy rock songs on this album are the best.....but.......

......then there are the other songs. bongos, folk music, trumpets, talking, screaming, and a free form jazz solo on trumpet...i mean its just so wierd, the last song goes on for what seems like ages and is simply a raspy trumpet player sounding like he's attempting to play the trumpet with little sucess....

soooo i think this album may well be removed from my itunes, harsh i know, but i just cant think of an occasion where i would want to listen to this again...certainly not when they have much better songs like 'no one knows'. i wil give the queens of the stone age another change, but im afraid rater r is going in the recyle bin. (what wierd is that i almost bought this album years ago on kerrang's recommendation, thank god i didnt).
