Release Notes:
NOTE: Scan included and the other release was nuked for bad encoding. Because
they're bad encoders. They should probably just stop encoding altogether. Enjoy
the shit out of this.
Latin for "common era," Era Vulgaris holds a pair of common threads with the
four Queens of the Stone Age records that preceded it. One, it crosses colossal
guitar chords with the most volatile of hard rock melodies. And second, it's as
LOUD as loud gets, thanks to Josh Homme, the impatient instigator behind the
ever-evolving cast of personalities that make up the band. Detonation comes with
track one, as the jagged riffs of "Turning on the Screw" lead the listener into
"Sick, Sick, Sick," where Julian Casablancas spews his vocals beneath a wall of
multi-guitar catcalls. Although the head Stroke will likely garner the most
attention, perpetual Queener Mark Lanegan's velvety pipes earmark two of Era's
most booming selections: the funky "Make It Wit Chu" (complete with
Temptations-like backing vocals) and the heart-racing three minutes of "River in
the Road." Add the garage rock of Homme's "3's & 7's" and "Suture Up Your
Future," easy pickings for most likely crossover hit, and Era Vulgaris--
hypnotically and explosively common--holds its own with any in the QoTSA
discography.
