Queens of the Stone Age - Emotion Sickness FIRST REACTION

[@RyanT586-2]

the bass on this song is so slick. Chorus is so catchy. QOTSA is back!!

[@Dinosaurs_with_laser_guns]

Bass player is killing it on this album, just listen to Negative Space

[@RazorWolfz]

Just missing two albums now; their first and their last album. Gotta get these done before the new one, they're both great in many ways.

[@nym5qu17]

their first album is incredible.

[@epicfaceboy4e585]

I think their first album is honestly one of their best

[@Electricsheep86]

1st Album is pure Stoner Rock. They've changed a TON since then.

[@AndreOliveira-vm1xz]

The least produced album (first) and the most produced album (last). Pretty good contrast, it would be amazing to see reaction to both!

[@mjm5791]

@@epicfaceboy4e585 First 5 songs on QOTSA self titled are some of their best work

[@bingusthegreat9733]

I cannot express with words how ready I am for new qotsa

[@lindacoy7165]

I love it. And I’m hearing little parts that come from Josh’s other band Eagles of Death Metal. I’m wondering if Jesse Hughes is on any of the tracks. Jesse was the first to mention in passing that a new QOTSA album was coming, so it’s possible.

[@angushuggins4723]

I have absolutely loved watching you fall in love with QOTSA. They are my favourite band ever ask anyone who knows me. Glad you enjoyed their latest!! I’ve had it on repeat since it came out

[@NegoClau]

Check also THE HIVES - BOGUS OPERANDI, too... This band is CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED!

[@kasztaniarz]

Congratulations on another milestone. That song sounds like a grower but the hook is instantly infectious.

[@JEXMlX]

You've gotta listen to vilians before this album cause this song is very reminiscent of that album!

[@realmtreader6566]

Villains is good up until Head like a Haunted then skip to the Evil Has Landed

[@locustboy8448]

@@realmtreader6566 Sort of agree with Hideaway but I’d skip The Way You Used to do and listen to Un-Reborn Again.

[@realmtreader6566]

@@locustboy8448 kinda true the Way has to be a specific mood. Un-reborn has that cool line about everyone drowning in the fountain of youth. Just felt the saxophone was a tad underwhelming

[@locustboy8448]

@@realmtreader6566 Hmm, it’s definitely not a traditional QOTSA track but it’s got a slick groove of its own and the part with the string section usually gives me chills. And yes the lyrics are definitely great on that cut.

[@TisTheDamnStickSeason]

Oh cmon it's not THAT bad

[@111SangWINik111]

- "It's been 6 whole years" - hasn't even listened to the album that came out 6 years ago Let's fix that!

[@dig070799]

I’m thinking a lot of these first reactions, aren’t actually first reactions tbh haha Like check out the first reaction to Feet Don’t Fail Me, it feels so rehearsed haha

[@johnburns8407]

Very catchy, loud and crunchy guitars followed by a beautiful chorus. I thought their last album was a little weak. This gives me hope for a return to form! Super pumped that I won’t have to wait for 6 months to find out.

[@johngutierrez591]

Imo My God is the sun is still the strongest first single release aside from No one knows. Maybe I had TOO high of expectations? I'm getting Era Vulgaris vibes though and that's super cool.

[@arkhamknighttheunlucky1828]

This honestly might be my new favorite song by them

[@NightwalkReal]

Damn! Glad you’re loving it 🤘

[@arkhamknighttheunlucky1828]

Ayyyy! Let’s go dude! Congrats on 30k also!

Thanks man 🎉

[@DDocps18]

Took a couple of listens for me but absolutely love the song. We need the other 2 album reactions 😂

[@jimreed2138]

Just subscribed. Huge Queens fan as well!! This song fuckin rocks!!

[@thousandyeargems4360]

They hid this so well... I hope this feels like a trilogy with like clockwork and villains

[@jsik69x]

The music video made this song hit me so much differently. I was unsure at first, but that really one me over and impressed me. I suggest you all check it out

[@AP-hr8cq]

Brilliant song

[@robertstull8759]

It didn't blow me away at first, but it's quickly growing on me. It feels like a marriage between Era Vulgaris and ...Like Clockwork. The artwork for the album seem to confirm that vibe. Villains didn't blow me away, but, I'm getting increasingly more excited for Times News Roman... that's a great name for an album btw

[@kaidemelloch12]

This song is fucking sick

[@andreasunlaz]

The fadeout section is so strange in 2023 .maybe in the album there Is a longer final section ( i hope that)

[@wolfmots6278]

Off topic but i listen to ill dissapear everyday at the gym

[@NightwalkReal]

Ayy 5 years later and still going strong, love that

[@butMydesign]

Nice hair change.

[@popandroid]

boooo...we want to see your disappointment with THE CAR!!! 🤣🤭

[@ImotekhtheStormlord-tx2it]

it sounds like era vulgaris for me..... i used to maniacally listen to era vulgair mainly bcuz of the mixing style, "wet" guitars, it sounds analog not digital.

[@Dinosaurs_with_laser_guns]

Bouncy robot guitars

[@berkaysln]

I won't skip it in the album, but probably wouldn't search for it :D

[@furleysbrain]

That's a good way of putting it, totally agree

[@bola-8alcatraz87]

I was hoping for something heavier, But Villains 2 is nice as well LOL

[@jaspergillgannon4991]

You have to get around to Villains at some point!

[@AndreOliveira-vm1xz]

Sounds like a cross between "Smooth Sailing", a slow version of "Don't Speak (I Came To Make a Bang!)" from Eagles of Death Metal and some Tame Impala song. Pretty cool, but I have to confess, I would expect this to be 2nd or 3rd song of the album, not the 9th song. Can't wait for the rest!

[@furleysbrain]

It's cool. Bass is FANTASTIC. Chorus vocals are brilliant and singalong-worthy. Drums are BORING and mechanical sounding, like Villains. The choppy/staggered verses are interesting but will grate on me. It's not a killer single imo. Hoping for some good, more 'steady' tracks on the album.

[@NightwalkReal]

I agree a bit on the drums, I was hoping when everything cut away in the bridge and we only heard drums we’d at least hear some fill but he just kept chugging along.

[@jsik69x]

Watch the video. If you’re familiar with all the drama Josh has gone through in the past few years with his ex wife, it really hits different. Once I saw the visuals with the music video, with the lyrics being shown, I realized how brilliant this song is. And I wasn’t really a fan of Villains

[@Dinosaurs_with_laser_guns]

I love the drums

[@joaquinbaume1291]

to me it sounds like they are making Villains 2, i would like something different but still pretty cool

[@seventeendegree]

Solid track but it sounds ... weird. I've compared it on Spotify with other QotSA tracks and the new song sounds completely muddy in comparison. Like the midrange is compressed or something. I can't really put it in words. Well, the preview for the other songs sounds fantastic.

[@marco9056]

Yea the production feels flat like on villians

[@NightwalkReal]

Really? I didn’t find the production weak on this song at all, and I do for some queens songs. Burn the witch for example gets pretty muddy even though I love it. I suppose it could be a taste preference

[@francoisdewit8073]

They ripped off the song title directly from Silverchair.

[@mynameismattfirered9276]

What

[@francoisdewit8073]

@@mynameismattfirered9276 the Australian band Silverchair released a song called emotion sickness years ago

[@captainkirk70]

Reminds me of something that could be on their first 4. The songwriting is that good. Dont hear the EV comparison at all. That record was a real low point in their career. Still can't sit through the whole thing. This record is going to be a late period masterpiece/return to form. Stoked for it. First 3 and LC are their masterpieces.

[@mynameismattfirered9276]

U never finished Villains 😭
