Songs for the Deaf [Deluxe Edition] [Edited] [PA] [Limited] by Queens of the Stone Age

Pros: The kind of rock and roll I've been needing...
Cons: Somewhat repetitive...

The contemporary rock and roll scene has proven more than just moderately disappointing. With sound-alike bands polluting the airways, the vast majority of faceless entities have come, released one hit single and accompanying album, and returned to...

Pros: Great music
Cons: Bad skits

I avoided all the hype around Queens of the Stone Age as long as possible, mainly because I'm generally not all that interested in what MTV or the radio tells people is "hot" at the moment. When I heard that Mark Lanegan was singing on "Songs for the...

Pros: A Kick-*ss Metal Album from Queens of the Stone Age.
Cons: None.

Throughout its long history, no form of music has been as louder or as uncompromising as heavy metal. Pioneered by bands like Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, and Deep Purple and in the late 70s through bands like Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and Motorhead,...

Pros: Quality, hard rocking songs, easy to get into, the amazing guitar and bass work
Cons: Stupid radio clips get in the way of the music, some songs have slow beginnings

People know me for my music now whether it’s on Epinions or at school, at home, or anywhere else. Wi ...

Pros: Perfect.
Cons: Too much of a good thing?

Please disregard the text of this review. My views on music have changed in recent months. Nothing gets me off more than Queens of the Stone Age's Songs for the Deaf, and I mean that when I say it. Every track is pure metallic bliss, ...

Pros: excellent guitar riffs, bass work, and thunderous drumming. Josh Homme is a talented vocalist
Cons: the recording has too much mids and not enough treble or bass

Lately I have been referring to my brother a fair amount. But not about how I love him. I hate his guts and most everything he stands for. What I’ve been talking about is his influence on me when it comes to music. I owe almost all of my musical...

Pros: Some good hard rock that's well played.
Cons: A couple less than impressive moments.

Upon buying Songs For The Deaf about a week ago, I was not prepared for it to have the effect on me that it did. I was expecting it to rock in much the way previous Queens Of The Stone Age albums have. I was not expecting it to fall into my top albums of...

Pros: Dave Grohl, great solos, unique sound.
Cons: Skits interrupt the flow of the music.

I was sitting one day quite happily watching MTV 2, when suddenly on comes a live recording from a b ...

Pros: Irresistable.
Cons: The death metal.

Much like the winking title of their third album, Songs For the Deaf, Queens of the Stone Age are a perplexing outfit. Hilarious without being jokey, quirky without being TOO out there, the Queens are one of the most fascinating bands of the...

Pros: Heavy, hard-hitting, yet melodic hard rock
Cons: None, bar "Six Shooter"

Queens of the Stone Age most recent album, titled “Songs for the Deaf”, begins with the rather lengthy titled “You Think I Ain’t Worth A Dollar, But I Feel Like A Millionaire”. The song begins with the sound of an engine turning over, and the sounds of ...

Pros: Good old fashioned no-nonsense rock 'n' roll.
Cons: That it ever has to end.

Queens of The Stone Age were perhaps the most unlikely success story since Nirvana. After the classic stoner rock band Kyuss broke up, Josh Homme and Nick Olivera founded Queens Of The Stone Age with session musician Alfredo Hernandez. In 1998, the band ...

Pros: .....
Cons: Awful drumming, awful screaming, awful singing, awful guitar playing...etc.

It's great when you finish writing a review and then your computer crashes, Queens Of The Stone Age, eh? This name is not interesting, it sounds like an old ancient name, something that would be used during caveman times. But the name does not really ...

Pros: These guys are good at what they do, and they do just about everything.
Cons: A bit of repetitiveness.

This album is heavily driven by melody, with some awesome riffs, excellent drumming, and truly inspiring vocals. QOTSA is Josh Homme on vocals, Nick Oliveri on bass, Dave Grohl on drums, and Mark Lanegan on vocals. ...
