Why: After seeing them at the bdo 2003 and hearing “No One Knows” a lot on JJJ i just had to get my hands on this album, and eventually i did.
Thoughts So Far: .. raw. This album is so raw it’s great. The drum sound is just so rough, and the guitars just sound perfect (imho) for what they’re trying to accomplish. Unfortunately for me and my dense-ness i’m not *entirely* sure what they’ve done with the vocalists. I’m quite positive there’s atleast 2 different singers on the album, and maybe even more. In saying that i have to admit i do prefer what i like to think of as the “main” singer’s voice, compared to the other people who sing. It’s just so nice and refined (clean) compared to how the guitars are coming out. What’s great about this album is definately the start. I often find myself never paying that much attention to the end of albums, because i always find they get all the right songs at the start, and kind of fill space @ the middle-end, then finish strongly. (radiohead and tool are maybe 2 bands i can think of off the top of my head who have consistently strong albums) So as i was saying, the first like 7ish tracks of this cd are solid. They are just so on-track they make me squirm. First It Giveth is great, song for the dead etc etc. All great songs, i felt like they portreyed what QOTSA are all about. Not to say that the rest of the songs suck, cos they don’t. I just felt that the quality of the first 7ish tracks is just SO high, it’d be almost impossible to keep that up the whole album. Thank god for Song For The Deaf (track 13) to re-inforce their whole attitude towards the end. Excellent Track!
