agreed. Picked it up yesterday.
It kicks ass.
i was just going to edit my post to mention 3s & 7s,i`d say there is at least 8 super solid tunes on the new disc. in all honesty, i haven`t been this into a band since i got into the hip, every disc of theirs is in my heavy rotation
album of the year for me so far
"Turnin' on the Screw" has to be one of the best album openers in recent memory. Second only to "Yer Not the Ocean".

I thought thump was one of the coolest new songs I'd heard in a long time, but Sick Sick Sick Kicks soooo much ass

wow, that's a small place that show will rock like no other, I just might have to attend.
thanks for the info.. :thumb:
only $35 for tickets too, pretty decent
Cheaper than last time they were in Edmonton. That's backwards! I guess it's a bigger space to fill.
There seems to have been a backlog of cds coming to me, so I finally got Era to day (along with Polyphonic Spree and Hoosiers, but that's another story)
After my first listen I have found it easier to access than Lullabies.
I think it will still take a few listens, but I have study to do, so I figure I can put it on in the background and get some subliminal love for the disc.
My one complaint is that Homme has slapped a desert session song on there 'Make It Wit Chu'*
I how I could sing it before I heard it...
D
* I actually put the wrong title for this song before I edited it after reading Opiateds post and realised my lapse of coherrent memory, which is why our posts now clash. My bad.
Really diggin the new disc...for me Rated R will always be the best Queens CD, but they never disappoint, and it's great to hear "Make It Wit Chu", finally make it to a Queens disc
B+
