Queens Of The Stone Age.

There is a reason that this band are so popular.

Whether it's Josh's vocals or the distortion on the guitars, to the catchiness of their songs or how awesome they'd sound when totally stoned, I don't know, but what I do know is that this band deserves every cent they make from cd sales.

This is another band that I used to never actually like. Their brand of rock didn't really appeal to me in any way whatsoever. Until I saw the video for Little Sister and fell in love with the woodblock. It was love at first sight; really it was - we eloped.

I then felt obliged to possibly listen to the band properly considering I only ever made my judgments on one song which I forget. My quest began! And promptly ended because I liked them pretty quickly.

Go With The Flow is probably their best song in my opinion. It's pretty well known but that doesn't mean it's not insanely bitchin'. Although it's quite possibly equal to the wonderful Song For The Deaf, which has such a cool opening. Truly cool. It's like the musical equivalent of a biker gang who helps abandoned kittens - yes, that cool.

Queens Of The Stone Age always have catchy guitar riffs laced between the crunching lead guitars that pretty much drive their music into awesomeness. That was my attempt at talking like a hardcore music reviewer. They're fond of adjectives like 'crunching'. But that's what QOTSA have; crunching guitars.

If you're like I was and haven't bothered to listen to them properly, or do not like them, then I must encourage you to go forth and invest in a cd of theirs! Possibly Songs For The Deaf, just because it has Go With The Flow on it. If you're anything like me, the catchiness of the song will have you imitating the guitar riff for days, maybe weeks, on end.

The end. [subliminal message; buyqotsacds.]
