This is hard rock informed by the spirit of Joy Division, its energetic pulse powered by a heart of darkness.

Era Vulgaris is a lot cockier than Lullabies, clobbering you instantly with guitars louder and uglier than a psychedelic biker party at Joshua Tree's Skull Rock. "Misfit Love" is the ultimate Queens anthem, all low-register guitar crunch, with a percussion track that sounds like tennis balls the size of Betelgeuse crashing into a Moog factory. Homme snarls, "I wanna see my past in flames," and he gets his wish.

An epic effort that finds the band returning to their deepest, darkest roots.

But best of the run is the title track itself, a performance that compellingly main-lines the curdled reality of Nirvana’s In Utero. Better late than never, of course – but for anyone seeking a return to the propulsive foreboding of Lullabies to Paralyse (2005), this sudden reawakening of classic QOTSA might come too late to rescue what is best seen as a great EP with a long, dull preamble.

A throw back? Not really. Just when you think it sounds like the earlier albums, It smacks you with "NEW". |

It's simply brillant...those aged sounds that sounds so familiar and at the same time so new and refreshing with the guitars screaming the knowledge of guys handling them |

Every cd of the Queens is a great experience... My Favourits are the first and the last song. As good as the cds before |

Not what I would call one of their "best". A couple of the songs like 3's & 7's and I'm Designer really rock but I was a little disappointed with the over the top falsetto that seemed to follw many of the ballsy riffs. Don't get me wrong- QOTSA is some of the best damn music I have ever heard and I give this album a big thumbs up...but I'm wanting more Josh, MORE! |
