QOTSA - The Way Finds You

[@TommyKing-m3f]

Lullabies to paralyze is their most underrated album imo. The deluxe edition that includes songs like precious and grace is such an awesome album. They’re the best band in the world.

[@kevinclarke9406]

I watch this once a month to remind me to keep making music despite being poor and cold. 40 years on from picking my first guitar and finding my missing other half, it remains of one of life's greatest pleasures to collaborate with like-minded voyagers. The journey into the unknown when locked into the recording studio underworld is SO well represented here - thanks for sharing this!

[@brentonhefner7769]

Just saw your comment- hope you’re still on the journey and creating new adventures

[@imalright2837]

This album and Era Vulgaris did not get the love they deserve. Hell I even feel that way with Villains! If Bowie written all the songs on Villains it would be highly praised. Problem I think lies in the fact people were expecting a SFTD 2 or ...Like Clockwork 2. Sure I wouldn’t mind if they did that, but I want to see everything Josh has to offer creatively. Dude is a artistic genus !

[@cleesely]

era vulgaris is a meth'd out masterpiece

[@norijagar]

Well. Fucking. Said.

[@coliosucc7468]

I couldn't agree more

[@hammerheadduck]

Like clockwork is lullabies to paralyze pt. 2 in my opinion it sounds so lively just like lullabies to paralyze villains in my opinion is era vulgaris pt. 2

[@brantkelly5276]

Era and Them Crooked Vultures is as good as it gets.

[@scottallen9556]

I'm so grateful this exists. The best band filmed, creating the best music! How generous to let anyone share these private moments

[@439Carter]

This album feels like an album Josh made for dudes who want to fuck Vampire chicks who shop at hot topic and dress as "Bad kitties" for Halloween. Its kinda a creeper album. That's why its by fav my least favorite of their albums.

YEah I saw that on the latest ZZTOP Documentary on Netflix. Josh was in the documentary and talked about this. Cool to see in person!

Ho sweet to be witnessing these guys creating one of the finest rock'n'roll albums of the 21st century

[@dalegribble3391]

we are witnessing lightning being caught in a bottle. This is there best record hands down. The production on this is on par to pet sounds. hats off to Joe Barresi, everything he touches turns to gold

[@house9850]

I agree with most of what you said but comparing this album to pet sounds is a bit of a stretch. I think songs for the deaf was a holy sh!t moment, much like nevermind was.

[@jcreature11]

@@house9850lullabies to paralyze did very good when it came out and is just as good as songs for the dead. Just different

[@cyyytr0n]

So if i'm getting this right, Burn the Witch is one of the very few exemples of song containing a "beard harmonic" .. and from who, the ultimate bearded-rock-guy .. iconic

[@emmarossignol4445]

Reverb, maybe tremolo, chorus or vibrato, and it looks like they're running it through a guitar amp?

[@RH-zk8je]

it's the Leslie rotating speaker effect. ask.audio/articles/understanding-the-leslie-effect kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYqUqaZsm5JleNU

[@eimhinmurphy9321]

The mic he's using is a Fender FR 570 or AKG DX11. It's a shitty old mic that has a spring reverb in it, and most likely plugged into an amp with a fast rate of subtle vibrato or a leslie. It sounds incredible

[@MrScott-go6]

This was released as a promo around the release of that record.... If You worked at a record store , new someone that owned a record store etcetera etc. It's pretty cool!! And they got Billy Gibbons to play on it!!

[@jovanreid6782]

Yup, still got mine, same copy I've had since 2005. Not in the best condition tho, hence why I'm watching it on KZbin lol.

[@house9850]

I wonder if Josh showed up to the studio with all these ideas ready to get hashed out or if they made all these songs on the spot. I guess they wouldnt schedule if they didnt have some material ready to record.

I think Era Vulgaris is WAY better than Lullabies. This album feels like an album Josh made for dudes who want to fuck Vampire chicks who shop at hot topic and dress as "Bad kitties" for Halloween. Its kinda a creeper album. That's why its by fav my least favorite of their albums. Even including what Trump called a "jawl whack dog" album "Billians". Era Vulgaris has "Turning on the Screw", Into the Hallow", "Suture Up Your Future", "River in the Road", "3's & 7's", "Sick Sick Sick" and "Make it with Chu". Also Joey Castillo finds his sounds and personality on Era.

[@aguzHC]

Well you could say that Era Vulgaris was an album for the indie-altern-thestrokish audience, with more easy lisenings, less long tracks... i think that era vulgaris is the less daring album of qotsa. Would say that´s is the less qotsa album, but there´s a thing called Villains that refutes me.

[@okcomputerwhatever4690]

@@aguzHC the whole "screw people's irrelevant expectations" attitude of era vulgaris always struck me as one of their most brilliant sounds. maybe it just hit me when i first listened to it years ago differently but it's always been one of my favorite and it never gets old.

Anything Josh touches is pure fucking gold! No exceptions. Dude can't do no wrong imo. But that's just me 👍

You're so wrong. Not detracting from Era Vulgaris, it's as good as any other Queens album, but this is a masterpiece, flows perfectly and if all the Halloween stuff puts you off IDK maybe it's not for you.
