Groovy! Thanks. I'm listening to it right now.

What did you think? I thought it was a pretty strong album all the way through, cant wait to get the cd and listen to it at home.

I got about half way through it and then I had to shut down the computer and move on to other tasks around the house. But what I heard did sound pretty good. Nothing grabbed out at me like a couple of the tracks from Songs For The Deaf did however. I really like that disk. This one sounds solid, but I didn't fall in love at first listen, like I did with parts of SFTD. In fact, I even downloaded No-one Knows as my cell phone ring!

SFTD is also a little sentimental for me as well, as it's the very first CD that I picked up based on recs from this board.

Another factor working against last night's listen is crappy computer speakers. I'll pick up the disk when it comes out, but I won't be rushing out for it on Tuesday.

I was listening to it through headphones plugged into computer speakers so it sounded crappy too. I think the actual disc will let us make a better judgement. I did like what I heard, but like you said, nothing jumped out like SFTD. Do you have anything before SFTD? if not, you should, all good stuff.

Try some Kyuss too!!!!!!

Hey Duds.. just wanted to let you know that there's a few other desert rock fans in here. Personally I didn't even buy SFTD yet but I have everything else QOTSA did before that, and I also have all the Kyuss albums. They were quite a band, though I never got to see them live. To be honest I've been a little out of the loop recently with recent albums by Monster Magnet, Fu Manchu, Nebula and a bunch of those other bands, but I have most of their early material.. esp Monster Magnet. I saw them live several times back in the mid-90's, they always put on a great show. I guess I decided 4 Monster Magnet albums were enough. There's a lot of great stuff out there, bands that got their start on Man's Ruin and other small labels. Red Giant, Lowrider, Natas, High on Fire, Goatsnake... there were quite a few. Anyhoo, maybe you know all this stuff already.. either way.. let it burn..

I picked up R today. I've looked at it before, but it's always been kind of pricey. HMV was having a big 2 for $25 sale and R was part of the sale, so I grabbed it. I haven't listened to it yet though.

I do have a couple of Kyuss disks that I enjoy very much. I have Welcome to Sky Valley and ...And the Circus Leaves Town.

Our local Indie paper had a not very flattering review of the new QOTSA disk today. But their reviews generally suck, so I don't put much stock into them.

Just wanted to echo what Jar was sayin' -- another fuzz rock fan, here, too. And Katatonia.

[Duds]

Thats good to hear!!!

You ever listen to Pentagram?
