Reviews Customer Reviews for Stone Age Complication      Queens of The Stone Age: Stone Age Complications (Rekords Rekords)      Rating:      This is one of the records that left you a mystery about what may happen with the Queens of the Stone Age. I tell you, QOTSA is one of the most fascinating bands around, and when they came out with this album, I did get worried, but I also was excited for a new release, covers, rarities and all. 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     Customer Reviews for Stone Age Complication Cd      Hhmmmm...      Rating:      I can only give this, the compilation of various Q.O.T.S.A songs from the split e.p's and b-sides, a four as it seems like a bit of a wasted oppurtunity since it's only 6 songs long and missing crucial ones. 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.
