Sorry, but if this album reminds you of stoner, what does "Songs For The Deaf" remind you of? And "R"? And "Lullabies To Paralyze"? I'm not trying to start a debate; I'm just looking for a constructive dialogue ;-)
P.S. I found it on eMule, but I can't wait to get the original version :-)

Even on eMule ;-)

NO, the stoner is stoner, the QOTSA are QOTSA! This album is fantastic for me, I love the idea expressed by the reviewer: "..once it ends, it leaves open questions, a hidden curiosity, like the feeling of having missed something important, of not having been able to find the right key to understanding, and that the deeper meaning of it all still lies there, in the bare and dusty universe that "Songs For The Deaf" has drawn in our heads, challenging us to listen to it again..." However, the rest of the review seems a bit too repetitive to me.

In fact, the cover isn't the best, thinking back to Lullabies to Paralyze :-(

Personally, I see it as not very pop; the album "R" that I reviewed was much more pop. I'm attaching my comment from the other review of the album: "Hi everyone. I believe this album is a testament to the continuous musical journey that Joshua Homme has always been on: from the breakup of Kyuss to the formation of QOTSA, where he has experimented and continues to 'grow' (musically speaking) by constantly touching different genres through collaborations with artists of varying backgrounds. I emphasize TOUCHING, because in reality the essence of his pieces has always remained the same. The only relatively new thing is the purely melodic pieces, a trend that started in the past with 'The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret,' 'Mosquito Song,' 'I Never Came,' 'Long Slow Goodbye'; so it’s not surprising to hear closing tracks like 'Running Joke' or the 4th track, 'Into The Hollow.'
Equally usual is an album opener in the style of 'Turning on The Screw.' The novelty certainly lies in the musicalities TOUCHED by the tracks. It’s not new to have singles or potential ones in the style of 'Sick, Sick, Sick' (the video is definitely worth watching) or to have choral closings of tracks. I repeat, it’s the nuances that make the difference; in many pieces, for example, the choral element takes on a delirious tone (see 'Run, Pig, Run,' my favorite) or a tribal feel ('River in the Road,' perhaps blasphemous but they remind me of System of a Down!). Personally, I feel there is a significant melodic improvement in Homme's vocal quality (reworking of 'Make It Wit Chu'), even though for some, it might stretch the limits too much (see 'Suture up Your Future,' which is brave nonetheless). And there are also strange concoctions of styles, like in 'I’m designer,' a melody that reminds me of old Dave Grohl interspersed with Eagles of Death Metal. Or local-style outings for beer lovers ('Battery Acid')...
In short, I really wanted to review this album :-) but I'm also fine with just this comment. Bye everyone!"

I assure you that I don't do drugs; it's just that everyone has their own tastes. I really resonate with this group (rather, I would say with Homme) and the sonic journey they are on. The day they come out with a straightforward, low-budget pop album, then I will be the first to criticize them. To each their own.
