https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=drnmwXtOo0U http://antiquiet.com/music/2019/09/desert-sessions-rise-again-with-vol-11-12/ quote:The Queen Vulture Joshua Homme has announced the (very) long awaited next two installments of the Desert Sessions series, to be released October 25th on Matador Records. Vol. 11 & 12 will mark the first revival of this musical adventure camp series in 16 years. Between 1997 and 2003, various incarnations of that group released a total of 10 albums, each one mired in secrecy and mythology, including drug-addled creative sessions in the desert and unbilled guests. I swear that between this and Tool, in a month or two's time we're going to get a new Rage Against The Machine album. Preorder links: https://desertsessions.ffm.to/vols11and12

Is this out on any streaming services? I don't see it on Google Play Music. Edit: Nevermind, it actually is there. Looks like it's just the previous albums that are missing. pairofdimes fucked around with this message at 19:52 on Oct 25, 2019 |

The first two songs are loving sick and more than make up for Villains sucking dogshit but the rest is pretty underwhelming honestly. And at 32 minutes it definitely could have used a little more to keep me interested. 2/5.

My record was supposed to deliver on Friday, but instead it delivered today on my day off. I can't wait to play it tomorrow night though.

This album is catchy as gently caress. I am kind of sad its only 8 tracks, but all of them are pretty awesome. Hoping Noses in Roses gets promoted to the full album next. Easier Said Than Done seems like a lost Clockwork track, which is dope.

For QotSA, their albums kept on getting better in quality with every release, although I wasn't too much of a fan of Lullabies to Paralyze. Villains was the first album in a streak of like 4 albums that didn't seem to be better than the one before it. As for Desert Sessions 11/12, I thought it was alright. I've only listened to it once, and there were two tracks on the 12 that didn't do it for me. Chic Tweetz was borderline annoying, and the track after that had not the greatest vocalist either. My wife, who doesn't care for this kind of music, was also taken aback by how short the record was.

My man crush on Billy Gibbons continues... I quite enjoyed this, short but sweet. Noses in Roses just won't leave my head and that's a good thing.

Since the QOTSA thread is hella old, I guess this goes here: Josh Homme & Brody Dalle are getting divorced

My other grievance with him is a Desert Sessions 11/12 promo shot:  Everyone else dressed up or was doing something funny. Not Mr loving Cool here right in the middle. Has to be rock and roll serious guy. Between the drinking and that, I imagine he's no fun to be around.

Yeah, rolled up jeans is too loving cool for school. My preschooler wears his new pants like that, and gently caress him too!

I've been revisiting the album and the songs aren't that bad but the production really interferes with them, in my opinion. I think the band went with a new producer for that album who usually handles pop albums? It really sounds like they didn't know what to do because an obviously great tune like 'Feet Don't Fail Me' sounds very muted and dull when someone better would have it sounding excellent. The most obvious comparison I think is to 'Smooth Sailing' from the prior album and the difference in production for these songs really stands out.

"The Way You Used To Do" and "The Evil Has Landed" sounded amazing though, in their own unorthodox sort of way. So many other songs on the album just don't seem like they're playing on that level. I'm still irrationally angry about what a boring song "Hideaway" is. You can't afford that on a 9-song album, man.

I’m listening to volume 7 now. Is there any good way of legally acquiring these past albums? They should have reissued them when 11 & 12 came out.

Sir Lemming posted:"The Way You Used To Do" and "The Evil Has Landed" sounded amazing though, in their own unorthodox sort of way. Imagine how amazing they'd sound if they had the same production quality as 'Like Clockwork'  I hope they avoid Mark Ronson with the next album and it would be nice to hear some of the older members but the band has evolved so much that I'm not sure if it would even be appropriate? A track with Mark Lanegan would be fantastic and it seems Josh and Nick Oliveri are on good terms again since he joined Queens on stage to perform a couple songs at the end of the tour for 'Like Clockwork' which has me hopeful that a future album might have a traditional screaming Nick song. Edit: Turns out Nick and Mark actually provided vocals on 'Like Clockwork'?! Lanegan provided backup vocals on 'Fairweather Friends' and Oliveri provided backup vocals on 'If I Had a Tail' according to Wikipedia. I had no idea and haven't recognized them at all (but there's multiple songs where I can make out who I think is Trent Reznor singing) so that's surprised me. It would still be nice if they had their own songs with sole vocal duties, though. In general Josh Homme news as well, I don't know if anyone's heard it but he provided vocals for a cover of Elvis Costello's 'What's So Funny 'Bout Peace, Love and Understanding?' by Sharon Van Etten. Has cute footage of Josh at home with his kids and is a good cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SvIBsyLePtQ

Reznor is extremely audible on "Kalopsia", he's actually the lead vocal on the first line of the first chorus (Oh, why you so sad, what have you done). Not sure if he's anywhere else though. I've known about the Lanegan & Oliveri guest spots as well, but for the life of me I've never really been able to make them out specifically. But you can kind of sense their presence.
