ah thats such a good way to put it; i was thinking the same. It's like such a combination of their sounds. I feel like its real close to them crooked vultures conceptually too

so climatic, romanesque, very cool indeed!

Agreed! It's a sexy song. The chorus is so enchanting! Thanks hundred :)

@@KimLachanceMusicwe need the full reaction!

@@StraightJacketFitting ouf that would be a heavy upload on youtube lol

There's a particular scene/sound in Blade Runner 2049 (which I love) that the heavy part of the song instantly reminded me of and I just can't disconnect it in my mind. Also very machine-like/robotic.

AGREED 100%.

Josh and Dave put their two longest songs on their respective bands new albums just to make a tcv album in which every song is longer then their longest before

On my first listen I said "I think this will be my favourite". 4 days later and it still is. This whole album is beautiful.

Am I wrong, or this outro is Obscenery, but with a different twist?? Anyways, awesome song 🔥

Painfully underrated after a few days of being released. How do you know?

I agree.... This is a solid record

Super agree with you

First I thought it sounded a lot like Era Vulgaris and the more I listened to this the more it sounded like a love child of EV and Like Clockwork. I don't think anyone could ask for a better QOTSA album. What a treat.

Dude that is so true!

Too me it sounds like The End by The Doors into 2023, very eerie and haunting.

she should start an audio book series

Man you're so right, I didn't catch that at first listen but I agree with you. Thanks for your comment :)

Damn, Carnavoyeour is so good!

Agreed

2 drums? 🤔

Ah cool! That's awesome

Apparently not actually, both Dean and Jon (or Troy?) were surprised to find out that Josh did all the vocals on the album, including all the weird parts that don’t sound like him

@@jager9022 whaaaaaaatttt

@@jager9022 mild correction. josh and mikey sat with the mostly-completed album for 35 days and finished overdubs etc... 1 or 2 songs did end up featuring mikeys vox. he also does the harsh vocals on the Villains song Domesticated Animals (the very end: "tears of gold, drink then drown, dizzy dizzy dizzy, we all fall down").

Thanks for your kind comment Boozor, happy you feel the music in this way too :)

Really? Like, how? They record as a full band without mic'ing the drums and add them afterwards? Or the opposite?

​@@KimLachanceMusic​​They mic a seperate room for drums and the drummer just plays the fills with no cymbals. The cymbals aren't even present on the kit. Then they mic the room for just cymbals and they also capture the sound of the cymbals seperately. It helps with the flexibility in mixing. You can also mic the drums creatively. I also think Josh just likes the way drum parts sound doing it this way in the final product. They get more clarity and a different feel. They started doing it on Rated R I think. Dave Grohl was irritated on Songs For The Deaf, because it's really hard to do. It's antithetical to how drummers work. Drummers aren't trained to record or play this way. He had to figure out a system where he could mime hitting the cymbals even though the sound isn't captured. So that he could play the parts and maintain his timing. I believe they used electronic cymbals not connected and not mic'd. So he could hit something. But it still drove him crazy. 🤣I've never heard of another band doing this. They have a lot of quirky recording techniques. A lot of times they do record with the full band on the floor (minus drummer who is in an iso booth) together. Which is very rare these days.

​@@pitpride1220ohhh..... I thought was something they only did on 'Songs for..' ... No?

​@@pitpride1220good read. My friend who's also an uber Queens fan told me they record the cymbals separately, but I didn't know the deats

Hey Vitor, thanks for your comment :) Yeah sometimes it can be hard to grow along with an artist when they've had such a profound impact on us with some of their earlier work. Thanks for stopping by 🤘

I highly recommend you listen to Mastodon.

@johnburba3174 You're right, Mastodon does it too. Not a favorite of mine, but I dig Mastadon. And a few others do as well - mainly in the metal subgenres - so I misspoke. My bad. But it seems to me that QOTSA is the only one that does it in a style more reminiscent of the '60's and '70's where it was much more prevalent in the industry and done more artistically, for lack of a better phrase - Pink Floyd being the most clear, obvious example of what I'm trying to say.

Bro gizz, nobody can touch them at this point

Coheed and Cambria is mad underrated I'm gonna be straight

And tool

100% Rob :) Thanks for your comment mate

@@KimLachanceMusic now work on your album!!

I never quite got into King Gizzard, I found them too bizarre (if you can believe that, coming from a qotsa fan haha!) I might give it a listen to see if I've changed

I listened to it and reacted to the album because of you :D the videos will be up in a few hours

Big time! Thanks for your comment :)

Thanks you :) and I agree !

They do not disappoint! You said it right :) Thanks for your comments whipsaw

@@KimLachanceMusic my pleasure, I'm expecting a next reaction, when Royal Blood launch a new album

@@whipshaw 100% :)

Thanks Jon :)

Excuse me: Carnavoyeur. Just seen it live at Pinkpop-festival here. Amazing, including them playing ‘God is in the Radio’ for Lanegan. 🫶

Thanks Adam :) I love them too, so so much

Thanks Swash :)

Thanks Nat :)

Thank you!

Right?! They filled up so much space with such different things while keeping it subtle. Super hard to do. Thanks for your comment Vidrio :)

Thank you kindly for your comment 😌

Dude tcv is such a masterpiece 100%

.........what made you think that?........... lol

@@KimLachanceMusic You look like a lass with exceptional taste. Fwiw, I like your voice.

Thanks for stopping by mate ☺️

Me too

Thank you kindly Alex 🤠

Happy to have your here Jim! Thanks for stopping by

Nailed it! Totally agreed

thanks Jame :)

Thanks Pedro 😊 happy to have you here, thanks for your comment!

Thanks Jesse 😁

@@KimLachanceMusic do you make music too?

@@jessehensley5666 I do! Go see my channel, I have a playlist called my original music

@@KimLachanceMusic I love your music!

@KimLachanceMusic I wanna share my music too but can't figure out how to. Lol up Handcrafted Whatcha Gonna Do! I did it all myself as well

Thanks for your comment wolftone :) I'm going to keep releasing singles from the album this year as it's the best way to build momentum as a small artist, so yeah keep an eye out! New song every 6 to 8 weeks :)

That’s awesome! And that is very interesting, I didn’t know that’s the strategy for small artists. I’m writing some music and was curious what’s the best way to put it out there so will look into this approach. Best of luck and looking forward to hear more.

Totally!

Yeah seems to be a lot of people's fav :)

Ah thanks mate :p happy you like the content

I'm sure he is, thanks for your comment !

I think some of the lyrics are directed to and about God. I think he started a spiritual awakening around the Like Clockwork era, he’s lyrics changed since then. Not unlike Thom Yorke, I think his main muse now is God. But I’m a Christian so I’m biased. The name Joshua means “God will save”, which I think is really present in the feel of his music. Brings me to tears. Again, I’m biased.

thanks for stopping by Alex :)

It was an instant standout to me

Couldn't agree more :D

Thanks Lady :) I'm happy to see a woman in the comments haha, we need more of us listening/playing rock music

Exactly my opinion when I first heard it, which is awesome, because It felt like a very good and original path that they suddenly moved totally away from after that...
