Queens Of The Stone Age – In Times New Roman... (CD)
Product Details
Recorded live to tape with the band tracking together in a room, Queens of the Stone Age returned here after a six-year studio absence with a lineup that had weathered real turbulence, making the cohesion and menace on display all the more striking. Homme assembled a cast that includes longtime collaborator Troy Van Leeuwen alongside newer contributors, and the desert-rock architecture the band built across records like "Songs for the Deaf" and "...Like Clockwork" feels both honored and deliberately fractured.
"‘In Times New Roman...’, the 8th studio album from Queens of the Stone Age is raw, brutal & rough around the edges but with a refinement that reveals itself further with each successive listen — and QOTSA founder Joshua Homme’s lyrics are as witty and withering than ever. The results are instantly identifiable ; QOTSA’s sonic signature, expanded and embellished with new and unprecedented twists in virtually every song, a live in-a-room recording that showcases a band at the height of their creative powers.
‘In Times New Roman...’ is a party for the obscene and the clean, the outcasts and the weirdos, and anyone and everyone in between. One of the most important bands in recent rock history is B A C K but it’s no exaggeration to call this album a devastating rebirth."
