Michael Shuman is totally under-rated, despite doing kick ass harmonies the guy is a shit hot bassist who knows just what to play and locks right in with the drums. His presence on stage is admirable too.

[@donrory3073]

I was thinking the same thing. The bass-line on this track is a perfect example of that. It's just geniusly written. It makes me wanna eat this song.

+Jake Hoffman The whole album is a Masterpiece.I've been a fan of Josh Homme since the mid-90's when he was in KYUSS and I love everything he has done but the latest Q.O.S.T.A. album is by far my favorite body of work that he has ever created.

This version of Queens is the most professional and might just be the best. I LOVE Grohl but everything here works so well.
