Reviews Customer Reviews for Queens Of The Stone Age      Worth the $50      Rating:      I had the opportunity to buy this disc for $20 and passed. It has since been discontinued and now can be found for upwards of $50. I ended up paying about that much for it, but it does not disappoint. If you were impressed with the tracks from the live disc, you definitely need to pick this up, price be damned. A tight disc all around, the only minor exception being "You Would Know", which is still an OK song. If you were let down by Lullabies or Era Vulgaris, then this is a must. Even if you liked those albums, this is still probably worth your $. I can't recommend it highly enough.     Customer Reviews for Queens Of The Stone Age Cd      Hypno      Rating:      I have never felt that queens was exactly the easiest band to digest. They are can be as eclectic as they are hard hitting, and they have done an excellent job throughout that their career of evolving and transcending genres. Calling the hard rock version of WEEN would be very appropriate. That said, I originally bought this album in '98 when I was still lamenting the loss of Kyuss. At first I thought, kind like kyuss, but not what I really want. Then after repeated listens (mainly cuz I wanted it to be as good as kyuss) I noticed that these songs are just totally hypnotic. It doesn't sound like kyuss or like any of queens subsequent releases. It stands on it own. Personally I think this record just kind of sucks you down into a queens hole which is difficult to get out of. Everytrack on here has its own sort of odd hypnosis, the beginning song "regular john" being the best example of this. I mean how can a band continue to hit the same not for 45 seconds yet still keep you mesmerized? That is the brilliance of queens and even though kyuss still holds a special place in my heart, I have to admit that this band is better, w/ genius songcraft and hypnotic riffs. If I didn't have this record already, I would still by it on amazon for 75 bucks used. Well worth it.
