Queens of the Stone Age have a new disk out. Their first in six years, or so.
I get that most wouldn't think of me as liking QotSA, and admittedly, I own now albums, though have a few songs. And the only original band member, Josh Homme, isn't unfavorable to look at. I get he wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea, but I'm not everyone.
The band are harder rock than some of the stuff to which I normally listen, but I like it, just not enough I guess to pry open my wallet it seems.
Anymore these days, it comes down to: can I run to it. The answer is a big fat 'yes'.
One of their new songs, "Emotion Sickness" is out on XM.......seemingly in high rotation. It's ok, but...you know, just ok. It has a '70s vibe that was driving me nuts - mostly on the chorus - because I couldn't quite place the sound.
I think it was on the fourth or fifth listen, as I was driving home when I went: "TODD RUNDGREN". And that's exactly what it sounds like - the chorus, that is.
The sound is kind of a flashback...........in a good way.
