Reviews Customer Reviews for Lullabies To Paralyze      Queens of the Stone Age - the name misleads      Rating:      This group styles themselves as Queens "of the Stone Age", but I think the band's name is a misnomer. The music style played by Joshua Homme and co has more in common with what I imagine to be the wild and sometimes haunting numbers played around the fires and in the temples of ancient Babylon and Chaldea than the supposed caveman's bare measured beats. It's not the QOTSA are playing "the horn, pipe, zither, harp & bagpipe" to give this impression. It's the way they seduce their guitars, drums, piano and occasional brass to high levels of energy, to jauntiness and jagged sweetness that takes you to a time where men were more obedient to their impulses - the progeny of lesser gods. The music offered here is not lullabies at all being more akin to tales told in our more primal history sung in all their fierce glory. For example, my favorite cut, #8 "I Never Came" is a glorious interweave of multiple stick beats on rims in perfect time (Joey Castillo is awesome) counterpointed by the husky male vocals of Homme, all coiled around an adventurous guitar lead. Your body moves of its own accord - the music is everything. And yet, while I can recommend the music (although the audio recording itself is only mediocre) a caution must be given concerning their lyrics. When the Queens do so, they are not shy about describing in erotic detail their amorous joy la vie. Cut #11 "skin on skin" especially could shock. For this reason, I am glad that I can burn my own "best of QOTSA" cd, as this album, like their earlier stuff, is a mix (85/15) of songs both riotously rock and rawly risque. by Kessel Day     Customer Reviews for Lullabies To Paralyze Cd      Oh wow....      Rating:      My boyfriend and I thought that nothing could top "songs for the deaf" (our first QOTSA album)...we were so wrong. We've had this album a few months and have probably listened to it a hundred times by now. Every time I hear "the blood is love" I go into fits of ecstasy. Every time I hear Homme belt out the first few lines of "slow long goodbye" I get goosebumps. Truth be told, there are a couple songs I'm not so fond of, but the rest of them are my favorites! I might be in love...
