Title: Paralyzingly Brilliant
Review: This one took a few listens to appreciate and now is near impossible to stop listening to. It is brilliantly produced and the song-craftmanship is fantastic. There are so many different audio colors and tracks going on within each song that you can't possibly get everything on just 1, 2 or even 3 listens. The DVD version is a must as you get to see highlights of the album being made track by track. The songs are all fantastic and a bit more "mature" than their previous efforts. Some are really quite "haunting" in atmosphere - really unexpected at times, and very, very cool. The previous QOTSA CD's are all great albums, but this one is by far the most cohesive and well executed. Nick O. really is not missed at all except for his spastic vocals - I was surprised at this as he's been such a partner to Josh for so long. All in all a fantastic cd that is a must for your collection.
