Oh wow....

"My boyfriend and I thought that nothing could top "songs for the deaf" (our first QOTSA album)...we were so wrong. We've had this album a few months and have probably listened to it a hundred times by now. Every time I hear "the blood is love" I go into fits of ecstasy. Every time I hear Homme belt out the first few lines of "slow long goodbye" I get goosebumps.

Truth be told, there are a couple songs I'm not so fond of, but the rest of them are my favorites! I might be in love..."
A review for new QOTSA fans (like myself)

"I found myself recently getting into Queens of the Stone Age. Songs for the Deaf was my first purchase, followed by Era Vulgaris. I passed Lullabies since I wasn't very familiar with it. Little Sister got some air time, but the song wasn't anything too spectacular in my mind.



By the time I finally picked up the album I was already hooked to the band. By the time I finished listening to this album for the 8th or 9th time they propelled into my top 10. Simply put, Lullabies is the best and most complete Queens album I have experienced thus far.



What does it for me is the way that each song feels connected to the rest of the album. Lullabies definitely has the most cohesion out of the bands' most recent three albums. That's not to say that each song sounds the same though, but rather they all belong together on one disc.



Also, there are more quality songs on Lullabies than other albums. Although everyone has different preferences, I can safely say that the first ten tracks are worth your time, though track one is more of a moody intro to the album. The latter portion of these ten tracks begins to dip into Prog territory (tracks 8, 9 and 10 are 6:10 long on average), but it's a welcome change. In fact, "I Never Came" and "Someone's in the Wolf" (8 and 9) are two of the best Queens songs I've ever heard.



Overall there is a good mix of music here, but it's all balanced very well. The lyrics are interesting, the music is intoxicating and the ambiance is perfect. If you haven't already, purchase this album and get lost in it for the next few months.
