Latin for "common era," Era Vulgaris holds a pair of common threads with the four Queens of the Stone Age records that preceded it. One, it crosses colossal guitar chords with the most volatile of hard rock melodies. And second, it's as LOUD as loud gets, thanks to Josh Homme, the impatient instigator behind the ever-evolving cast of personalities that make up the band. Detonation comes with track one, as the jagged riffs of "Turning on the Screw" lead the listener into "Sick, Sick, Sick," where Julian Casablancas spews his vocals beneath a wall of multi-guitar catcalls. Although the head Stroke will likely garner the most attention, perpetual Queener Mark Lanegan's velvety pipes earmark two of Era's most booming selections: the funky "Make It Wit Chu" (complete with Temptations-like backing vocals) and the heart-racing three minutes of "River in the Road." Add the garage rock of Homme's "3's & 7's" and "Suture Up Your Future," easy pickings for most likely crossover hit, and Era Vulgaris-- hypnotically and explosively common--holds its own with any in the QoTSA discography. --Scott HolterCustomer Reviews:

Different style but still awesome.......2007-07-28
So just give it a chance, listen to it more than one time before you decide you hate it. I love this CD, and if you're a QOTSA fan, you probably will too.

Queens of the Stone Age.......2007-07-24
A New Era For Queens.......2007-07-21
The biggest thing lacking is the drive on all but one song (sick,sick,sick). The rest is a jumble of misc. garbage. Not worth the price or time and makes lullabies sound like a 5 star album. Maybe the loss of Nick Oliveri is catching up with the band in the song writing department on the second release since his firing.

Amazon.com's Best of 2000
Call it "stoner rock" if you must, but the sophomore release from the Queens of the Stone Age moves mosh music into a woozier realm. Which isn't to say it isn't plenty crunchy, but former Kyuss kingpin Josh Homme and company (including guests Mark Lanegan and Barrett Martin of the Screaming Trees) create an intoxicating brew by mixing metal, alt, and garage-rock elements together and making it smoke! --Steven StolderAmazon.com
Trippy, forceful, and timeless, Rated R is rife with heavy, heady, trance-inducing post-hippie creations that recall Soundgarden and Fu Manchu. Singer/guitarist Josh Homme, founder of the defunct but much-worshipped "stoner-rock" band Kyuss, heads the group. And while he's joined by guests such as Mark Lanegan and Barrett Martin of the Screaming Trees, it's the oddball songs rendered by Homme's sexy voice and searing guitars that make this album sing. Kudos too, to the producer Chris Goss, formerly of another remarkable band, Masters of Reality. The Bowie-like surrealism of "Auto Pilot" makes it this set's classic; in fact, much of Rated R presents dark, Cocteau-like idiosyncrasies, often aided by touches of surprising humor. In the tongue-in-cheek-titled "The Feel-Good Hit of the Summer," the line "Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, marijuana, Ecstasy, and alcohol" is repeated like a mantra, while "Better Living Through Chemistry," is steeped in hallucinogenic sounds. The frenetic "Monsters in the Parasol" is sonically rich, its primal riffing best ingested loud and via headphones, while "Quick and to the Pointless," boasts a raucous MC5/Blue Cheer vibe. This wondrous sophomore effort defies all categorization, except cool. --Katherine TurmanAlbum Description

2nd best Queens of the Stone Age album.......2007-06-27
QoTSA's best.......2007-06-02
One of the great hard rock cross over albums of the decade.......2007-04-22
No matter how you label it, this is great music. Hard rock though it may be, every song is brimming with great hooks and a number of splendid musical ideas. The band is often so ironic that one can miss the irony, such as their semi-hit "The Feel Good Hit of the Summer," which sounds like a Beach Boys title but has verses that merely repeat "Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, Marijuana, Ecstasy and Alcohol" over and over to a chorus that does the same to "Cocaine." The point is less to advocate the use of drugs than to make a cheap--but funny--score off the title.
"The Feel Good Hit of the Summer" could make it sound like the band focuses on gimmick songs, but that is hardly the case. "Feel Good Hit" opens the disc, but all the rest of the songs are well-arranged, clever, and brimming with musical ideas. Some have so many things going on at once that the genius lies in the fact that they neither overwhelm one another nor lessen the musical impact of the album as a whole. Mark Lanegan and Barrett Martin of Screaming Trees appear on several tracks and in fact RATED R does sound like a Screaming Trees album with a denser guitar sound and less psychedelia. There really are no weak cuts on the album or even many that are appreciably than anything else on the disc. I've asked a few friends who know the album to name their three favorite cuts and I've been amazed to see everyone come back with different choices, sometimes not citing any of the songs others or I liked most. For the record, my three faves are "Lost Art of Keeping a Secret," "Auto Pilot," and "Better Living Through Chemistry," though on another day either "Monsters in the Parasol" or "Leg of Lamb." The omission of "The Feel Good Hit of the Summer" doesn't mean I don't like the song; I do. But I find the lyrics pretty dull and I think the song lacks the musical diversity found in almost any other song on the album.
This could well be the hard rock album from the past decade with the closest thing you will find to near universal appeal. Some people who listen to nothing but very light rock won't care for it, but it you have a good ear and enjoy great music regardless of what genre it is in, this is an album every serious lover of music should own.

Amazon.com
Despite the advent of the '00s, thoroughly blunted longhairs wearing three-quarter-length T-shirts still boot around the suburbs in painted vans listening to roaring metal. Fittingly, a whole new crop of post-Dazed and Confused-era stoner rockers--Fu Manchu, Monster Magnet, and arguably the kings of them all, Queens of the Stone Age--provide a shredding contemporary score for righteous three-finger devil salutes. On Songs for the Deaf, core members bassist Nick Oliveri and singer-guitarist Josh Homme (also see Kyuss) balance pure guitar-induced carnage with more complex, though no less aggressive, speed rock that whips by so fast it creates its own breeze. Opening with the 90-second "The Real Song for the Deaf"--a cheeky and amorphous bit of bloopy electronica quite possibly recorded at the bottom of a swimming pool--the disc explodes with track two, a toxic squall of power chords and now-classic Olivera death howls. It's here the album's recurring concept/conceit is introduced as a generic-sounding announcer from L.A.'s "Clone" radio spits out some psychobabble reinforcing the tired if true cliché that commercial radio stinks. Similar mock broadcasts surface elsewhere, but they're easily forgivable, given the bounty on offer. Homme-powered tracks dominate--the lurching, weirdly springy "No One Knows" is a kind of "Monster Mash" for grownups; the vocal harmony-driven "The Sky Is Falling" is almost dreamy until a small army of guitars surges to the front lines to begin firing. And a lyrically winking hidden track, "Mosquito Song," is either an in-joke of ridiculous proportions or a declarative statement about the level of musicianship lurking just beneath the quaking veneer of the Queens' sound. Either way, genuine excitement comes early and often on Songs for the Deaf. It's a remarkable achievement--a hard rock record so good that it immediately evokes a conspiratorial fervor that makes you want to tell everyone you can about it. Er, job done. --Kim HughesAlbum Details

Nick Oliveri may have departed, taking his naked bass playing skills with him, but Queens of the Stone Age remains in good hands with co-founder Josh Homme. Putting extracurricular projects like Eagles of Death Metal and the Desert Sessions briefly on hold, the restless front man keeps things dependably loud and sludgy on the group's third album. Monster riffs, choppy rhythms, explosive melodies, and, yes, even a generous serving of cowbell, propel standout songs like "Medication" and "Little Sister" on the follow-up to 2002's breakthrough Songs for the Deaf. Friends also lend a hand. ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons shreds through the reverberating "Burn The Witch," while Garbage's Shirley Manson and the Distillers' Brody Dalle join Homme for a tantalizing threesome on "You Got A Killer Scene." -- Aidin VaziriCustomer Reviews:
You made a killer album there, man .......2007-06-17
The CD begins placid enough, just a gentle acoustic guitar and Mark Lanegan's rugged, deep croon. Like an explosion, though, the short-but-sweet "Medication" kicks in with a vengeance. Its pile-driving riff reminds me of the song "Regular John" from QOTSA's mighty debut album, Queens of the Stone Age (1998). However, it's not all just polished guitar riffs and scorching ax licks. "Lullabies" contains gems like "I Never Came," a laid-back ditty with soft vocals by Homme, funky percussion and yes, great guitar work. "You Got a Killer Scene There, Man" shows the soulful, bluesy side of Homme and his ever-changing band, while "Long Slow Goodbye" takes the CD out in a tuneful, sentimental and somewhat unexpected way.
Fans of QOTSA's past work won't likely be disappointed in this CD. In fact, the head-bobbing riffs splattered all over the album are as good as anything this band has ever released, and that's saying a lot. The pleasingly heavy sounds and lyrics heard on "Tangled Up in Plaid," "In My Head" and "Little Sister" fit right in with the tunes from any past album the band has put out. That's not to say these songs aren't original-sounding compositions, because they are. Homme is one of the most unique rock and roll artists to come along in a while, and his constantly changing band lineup might actually keep QOTSA fresh-sounding and relevant, rather than stagnated. Pick this one up if you like great rock music.
Just A Bit Too Flawed To Be Up With Past Classics.......2007-02-14
The hard rocking edge and emphasis on melody that was recurrent in their fantastic "Songs For The Deaf" album is repeatedly visited in the start of "Lullabies". "Medication" fashions that lovely bent for a good riff that Homme has always ensued in his different bands. "Everybody Knows You're Insane" has the typically weird and off-centre vibe QOTSA execute with ease. Their catchy and melodic pop-rock style is shown in the wondrous "Tangled Up In Plaid", my favorite track on the album, and again later with the hit single "Little Sister" and the lush choruses of "In My Head". So the opening of this album is very sharp and concise, almost refining the classic QOTSA styles into one side. To me these opening six songs are exactly what QOTSA should be doing, focusing on the niche they have carved out over the years, and adding and stripping the sound.
The problem with "Lullabies" comes in the last half of the album which is painfully hit and miss. Homme can create some inspired music that drags you into the weird and wonderful world he portrays. Just go back into the catalogue, songs such as "You Cant Quit Me Baby", "The Sky Is Falling" and "Song For The Deaf" execute that eerie and dirgey style that borders on being a ballad in a very warped sense. These songs keep the attention, they create atmosphere and really balance the faster rocking songs the band is renowned for. The final half of "Lullabies" has some really hit and miss slower work - inspired at times, but frustratingly lifeless all too often. "I Never Came" is probably my favorite of the ballad styled songs, demonstrating Homme's melodic and pop sensibility, and hitting home with a good, earnest and relatable theme of relationship hardships. The theme is not original at all, but Homme's vocal delivery and poetic lyrics give it an honest and emotional edge. Unfortunately "Lullabies" really slips off the excellent pace. "Someones In The Wolf" is an overly long dirge that just doesn't do the trick for me. It becomes quite dull and never really picks up. And this pretty much applies for the rest of the ending, "The Blood Is Love" and "Skin on Skin" keep on this dull, lacking momentum, and gradually the album comes to a close.
The stark hit and miss of "Lullabies" bemuses me. Homme clearly shows he can create some class without Oliveri as there are some real great rock songs here. But some of this album feels forced, feels like Homme was pushing a cool idea into a lengthy song as opposed to one riff, or one bridge. The longer songs just don't have enough about them, simple as that. Because of these songs I was a bit dissapointed with the album, as I wanted Homme to create another sprawling and classy release. The throw-away ending songs are made that much more frustrating by the opening songs which show exactly what Homme IS capable of. Hopefully the next album will be a more consistent affair.

Jump (or be forced) directly into the three-plus hour DVD on this a/v split release for footage of Josh Homme and band on the stage in London during the hottest months of 2005. There are plenty of behind-the-scenes shots of the ever revolving group. Foo Fighter Dave Grohl pops up. ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons pulls a cameo. It's all here. Key performances include "No One Knows," "Little Sister," "Burn The Witch," plus smoking versions of "Fun Machine" and "I Wanna Make It Wit Chu" (from Desert Sessions Vol. 9 & 10). The audio-only disc provides listeners with 75 minutes of pure QotSA including a powerhouse reading of "I Think I Lost My Headache" and an appropriately ragged "Long Slow Goodbye." This often strange picture is a fine fitting snapshot. --Jedd BeaudoinAlbum Description
You can think of this feature-length concert DVD/live album, which features all the crucial Queens hits from their studio albums, as a "to go" version of their decibel-happy shows, but that really won't be doing the three and a half hours of live, rare, and acoustic performances and behind-the-scenes footage of the band and their pals like Dave Grohl, Mark Lanegan, Billy Gibbons, and former Queens bassist Nick Olivieri making fools of themselves, justice. It might help to think of Over the Years as a 21st-century version of Led Zeppelin's The Song Remains the Same for the volume of its material, or even A Hard Day's Night for its willingness to show the Queens having a laugh, but they'd rather you see and hear it for what it really is--the definitive encapsulation of the band and their music from their not-so-humble beginnings to their current status as one of the rock's biggest and most dynamic acts. Included in the concert footage from the band's sold-out Brixton Academy and Koko shows in London last summer are live favorites from Rated R and Songs for the Deaf such as "No One Knows," "Feel Good Hit of the Summer," and "Go with the Flow," as well as new Queens classics from their latest album Lullabies to Paralyze like the smash single "Little Sister" and their most recent bombshell, "Burn the Witch." In addition to the three-plus hours of live and uncut Queens mayhem, Over the Years also boasts 75 minutes of audio bliss that covers all the bases Queens fans need to get the rush of their favorite songs performed live and loud shot directly into their homes. Also included are the brand-new track "Fun Machine" as well as "Make It Wit Chu," a previously unreleased gem from singer Josh Homme's fabled Desert Sessions, an ongoing series of collaborative songwriting and recording sessions where marquee musicians such as PJ Harvey and Deen Ween are invited down to his studio Rancho De La Luna in Joshua Tree, California, to join him in collectively exploring new musical terrain.Customer Reviews:

When I finally decided to purchase this DVD I was a little worried. ( I owned songs for the deaf, and downloaded every single, and a whole bunch of random songs.) I didnt know if an entire DVD would entertain me. I saw them recently on tour, And they are Incredible. The live accuracy of the (ever-evolving) band was perfect. You hear almost EXACTLY what they have on their studio recordings.
Luckily, their album sounds, and live show COLLIDES into this wonderful set of discs.
During the first batch of songs("Flow" through "little sister") I felt like all I did was spend $15 bucks. But at some point I finally realised I was completely engrossed. A Perfect balance of familiarity and Improv. And of course, the DVD goes on for TONS of songs after that!. I Wish I could come up with a fault of this recording. But there isn't any. Great Sound, Good Song selection, Awesome Visual/Angle Imagery.
It also has alot of Hilarous crowd interaction and Clips
If your just skimming this review, This is a Great DVD/CD set. The Sound Quality is listenable, not like cheap LIVE recordings. PERFECT for putting on in the background. And ABSOLUTELY AMAZING to sit down and watch with the lights dimmed, maybe a couple drinks. = )
one of better music dvd's i own.......2006-01-14
the only reason why i only gave this 4 stars is because it was basically only one show with only one line up. i really would have liked to get better recordings (and better camera angles) of their older shows. oh well.
hopefully a kyuss dvd will eventually make it's way to shelves.

The pop song-score is often accused of being little more than ancillary merchandising for many a film and the supporting evidence is often hard to deny. But this well-chosen collection of modern rock and metal for director Jonathan Hensleigh's adaptation of the vengeance-obsessed Marvel Comics anti-hero is a gratifying exception; apt sonic seasoning for the film's bleak, contemporary edge. The thrash of Hatebreed, Chevelle, and the new Drowning Pool lineup and tracks by more established acts like Puddle of Mudd, Nickelback, and Queens of the Stone Age (who turn in a smart, chunky cover of Romeo Void's Rock-of-the-80's staple, "Never Say Never") alone would make it a welcome rock-metal sampler. But its 19 tracks also encompass an intriguing range of lesser known bands and one-off collaborations (Seether and Amy Lee, Jerry Cantrell and Damageplan, Ben Moody/Jason Miller/Jason "Gong" Jones); all bristling with a dark, moody energy that perfectly echos the film's dour, relentlessly violent tone. -- Jerry McCulleyCustomer Reviews:

measuring up (now 4 stars instead of 3...).......2005-08-26
Drowning Pool- Step Up: Now, if you've read my review of Desensitized, by Drowning Pool (the album this song came off of), you would have heard me mention that I love this song, but it just isn't really Drowning Pool due to the lack of Dave Williams in the song. I stand by that thought, although I do still really like this song.
Nickelback- Slow Motion: I'm pretty well impressed with this particular song, but not as much as I am with some of the other songs on this soundtrack. It's got its merits, though, mainly cause it's Nickelback...
Seether (feat. Amy Lee)- Broken: Damned if I can't label this the best damn song on here. With Seether and frontman Shaun Morgan's ex-girlfriend Amy Lee (of Evanescence fame) as the backing vocalist, this song is both hard-hitting and haunting at the same time. If you've heard this particular song, you know what I mean.
Smile Empty Soul- Finding Myself: I also call this one "Smile Empty Soul Goes Acoustic"- and amazingly enough, alternative rock band Smile Empty Soul's first all-acoustic song works like a charm and is one of my favorites.
Trapt- Lost in a Portrait: In my opinion, Lost in a Portrait isn't as good as some of Trapt's other songs, but it's still a good one and a good pick for the soundtrack; I believe this one was recorded specifically for the soundtrack, as I couldn't find this one on either Trapt or Someone in Control...
Seether- Sold Me: Seether's second contribution to the compilation; like Broken, this one comes from Seether's (semi)second CD, Disclaimer II, a reworking of their debut cut Disclaimer. This one is much more hard-edged than Broken, but not necessarily better... it is good though.
Edgewater- Eyes Wired Shut: Tied with Broken for the best song on here. I love how Edgewater so succintly draws you in with the first hook of the chorus- "Eyes wired shut, running through my brain..." Awesome song, guys.
Hatebreed- Bound to Violence: A bit more heavy metal-ish than I'm used to, but I got used to this and actually started to like it. Hatebreed (and more particularly, this song) is what got me listening to bands like Lamb of God and Chimaira, so thanks.
Mark Collie- In Time: By far the most haunting songs on the soundtrack and one of my favorites. Go Mark!!!
Most people would expect me to end this with some kind of witty saying to aid you in making your decision to further research this product- but I'm just too damn tired. So here it goes: The Punisher is frankly one of the best movie soundtracks out there, so go check it out- you won't be disappointed.

Queens of The Stone Age: Stone Age Complications (Rekords Rekords).......2005-10-31
The album kicks off with Nick Oliveri covering The Kinks "Who'll Be The Next In Line", perfeclty matching their surf0rock blend in rock music. Most of the people here would say this song was picked as a shot at Mick, but for me, it was just a good cover of a good UK band. Next Song is Nick's cover of "Wake Up Screaming" which sounds like a good punk cover with a wonderful horror velour implication. The beginning almost bored me completely, wondering when is he going to just get out of dreamland and get to that nightmare already, until you remember that nightmares don't start out as nightmares. Excellent cover. With "Most Exalted Potentate of Love", this cover was my absolute favorite song ever on the album. Not just because of the retro B-Movie velour, but it makes you believe how a man most feared can be known as such a sexy Frankenstein. My favorite line in the song is "I'll teach you how to read the book of life/You can just look at the pictures, if you like." I'm kind of dissapointed "Everybody's Going To Be Happy" (Kinks cover) wasn't there.
Remixes: No One Knows (UNKLE Remix): I wouldn't really listen to this song as much. But the touch that UNKLE put on this doesn't make it as completely cryptic and forceful as they added for Josh Homme's appearance in "Safe In Mind" on Never Never Land.
Rarities: "Born To Hula", I remembered that this song wasn't realy a rarity. It was on their EP with Beaver (right?) Nonetheless, listening to this song makes me want to go buy the EP. The title did leave a bit of irony, though. Knowing Josh, you may think this song would have a Hawaiian feel and not be so driven and rugged as it sounds. Now I admit it wasn't easy trying to get into the rarity for First It Giveth, "The Bronze". I thought it was kind of...blah on the first listen, especially the beginning. But the song is good but not completely good to listen to. Now if only we can convince Queens to throw on "Infinity" and "Ode To Clarissa". THat made me want to go to Lullaies and find out what actual bonus song is on there.
There you have it. My mystery well spent was filled with a CD of Hope and mystery for the band called Stone Age Complications. This CD may also be your favorite or the last Queens album, if you didn't like the album that Josh Homme created in Lullabies to Paralyze. The album gets a 8.5/10

The cover versions here, "who'll be next in line" by The Kinks, "wake up screaming" by Sub Hum Anz and "thee most exhalted potentate of love" are all superb and are all as good as the original songs (finally : someone has actually covered a classic song from those masters of cover versions, The Cramps, that doesn't suck and isn't an embarrasment to the original), "the bronze" is simply one of the best Q.O.T.S.A songs to date and "born 2 hula" also rocks but the remix of "no one ones" is dreadful and pointless. How Josh Homme included that but neglected rare Q.O.T.S.A classics like "spiders and vingeroos" from the split with Kyuss, "these aren't the droids you're looking for" from the split with Beaver and b-sides like "you're so vague" and "never say never" i don't know.
If you haven't got these songs then it's a must-have for "the bronze" and the 3 fantastic cover versions but i'd pay the extra to get the original ep's, personally, to get all their songs.
Complicated?.......2004-09-13
It kicks off with a solid cover of the Kinks "Who'll Be the Next in Line," a bit more conventionally catchy than what the Queens of the Stone Age usually do, but still with the flavor of their work. After that is an eerie cover of Subhumanz's "Wake Up Screaming," and a buzzing, heavy version of the Cramps' "Most Exalted Potentate of Love."
But Queens of the Stone Age don't neglect their own material either. An unusual remix of "No One Knows" is included, very synthy and gothic. There are also two unused songs: "Born to Hula," a percussion-heavy rocker with lots of bass and cymbals, and the slowly built-up, distorted "The Bronze."
Usually compilations of B-sides, covers and remixes -- especially if they include all three -- are a mixed bag. But surprisingly, Queens of the Stone Age keep their EP solid and smooth. It feels like a bunch of puzzle pieces that click smoothly together, yet don't sound monotonous.
The instrumentation is still in fine form in "Complications" -- in true rock tradition, these guys mix heavy guitar riffs with grinding bass and some fast-as-lightning percussion. And there's a hint of dark, watery synth at the start of the "No One Knows" Unkle Remix, which gives a surreal edge to a song which wasn't surreal to start with.
The vocals are equally good -- Josh Homme, of Kyuss and the Desert Sessions, has a strong, slightly sweet voice. It's a little annoying when he launches into frantic howls at the end of "Wake Up Screaming," but he keeps himself restrained in the other songs. When he sings "Who'll be the next in line?/... Who'll make the same mistakes I made over you?", he even sounds stern, like someone delivering a lecture.
Queens of the Stone Age deliver a solid EP of their rarities, remixes and B-sides in "Stone Age Complications." It's not the best introduction to the band, but definitely a must-have for fans.

Disappointed.......2007-03-24
This is "Real Rock Music".......2006-12-18
Great Dallas band.......2005-09-16
Exactly Like a Toadies Album.......2005-04-23
Just horrible.......2005-04-05
This is one of the worst albums I've ever heard. I was so incredibly dissapointed when I listened to it. I'm a pretty big fan of Toadies; this is nothing like Toadies. Every song sounds the same, Lewis doesn't change his vocals throughout the entire CD. I was expecting so much from this group considering their past endeavors, but even the instrumental part of the album is ridiculously lacking. I just don't know what happened. I bought this CD off of Amazon, when I received it I immediately put it in my CD payer and I disliked it so much I put it up for sale on Amazon the next day. I haven't been to any of their live shows, so those may rock, but this CD sucks. I'm not sure what the other reviewers are thinkin. If you can, I recommend going to your local used cd store and if they have a listening station, listen to this cd before you buy it. Do not waste even five bucks on this cd unless you listen to it first and like it. If you want a cd that rocks, buy the first Queens of the Stone Age cd or maybe the Kyuss cd Blues for the Red Sun. Or really, just buy anything BUT this Burden Brothers cd.
