Queens Of The Stone Age

I think I'm fianlly beginning to get QOTSA (Rated R is what I am listening to). I bought this album on the back of it being number 1 in the NME poll 2001 reasoning it must be all right at the very least but never really got into it. Don't know how to describe it, rock stuff with singing. The tunes are there and that helps. It's also not too overly excited, the songs aren't killed by trying to over rock them, it's a cliche but "it sounds like it could have been made any time in the last 30 years". It reminds me of The White Stripes in that it took me a long while to like them (or think they were more than average blues rock action).

Next week Beard! learns to like little known combo The Strokes.
