In the twenty years since Josh Homme created his band Queens of the Stone Age, the
musical continents have shifted dramatically, meaning the way we listen and consume music
has taken such a monumental change that it has brought the once powerful music industry
to its knees.
Maybe this analogy could be compared to the cave paintings of Stone Age
humans, bringing down and killing the mighty Mammoth in order to survive.
Cliches over with; we arrive in 2017 with the impending release of Queens of the Stone Age
seventh album “Villains”.
Their last album “Like Clockwork” was released back in 2013 and to myself signified the ever
changing band coming of age. In the years between, Homme has collaborated with
numerous artists, most notably with Iggy Pop on his “Post Pop Depression” release last year
and subsequent tour, culminating in a recorded and released show at The Royal Albert Hall.
Album opener Feet Don't Fail Me features an up tempo groove with dpop/disco grooves,
nah! It’s heavy. The second track is a much play listed first single The Way You Used To Do; this
track divided the avid QOTSA forum junkie, but what's not to like?
It takes the original rhythmic guitar style into a more developed sound. Lyrically it sounds like Them Crooked Vultures at times. Domesticated Animals is a good
example, with the question provoking quote “a revolution is one spin round”. Fortress has an airy guitar sound, but at times reminds you of the previous album; is there
such a thing as QOTSA chords or progressions? Scratchy and urgent, Head Like a Haunted House crashes in; weird Troy van Leeuwen lap
steel screeches underline a Dead Kennedys bassline.
Intentional or not Un-Reborn Again flows with a T-Rex lyrical style; keyboards replace the
cutting Les Paul sound of Bolan. In a recent interview, Homme explained how, as the singer, he had to learn on the job in every
show how to use his voice.
Cut to now and the falsetto voice is very much part of the Queen’s
sound but sometimes he over tries the big “high ho-wah” without reaching it. Hideaway is probably the closest sounding to “I Appear Missing” from the previous album; it’s
possibly a song written during those sessions that needed more development. Throughout
the album, there are sounds and reference points that hark back to older songs that define its
lineage. The Evil Has Landed boasts fuzzed guitars and and great drum beat by Jon Theodore on his first
Queens recording. This is the big sound that people expect, full of twists and turns, clocking in
at six minutes.
Villains of Circumstance is a song that’s been around for a while now, first played by Homme
during an acoustic set in London in 2014. It’s become something of a fan favourite on
YouTube. Tail ending the album, its wistful bassline and the chorus “Always
evermore, and on and on” is a satisfying finish.
Eagerly awaited, as all releases by Queens of the Stone Age “Villains” continues the
progression and path that Homme wants his band to take. Will it be received by the fans in
the same way as previous albums?
The forums are alight as I write this with arguments and opinions... Let’s see how the
dust settles.
