Queens of the Stone Age: In Times New Roman (2023)

Eight albums in and QOTSA showed little sign of being weary despite members all having parallel careers in other bands and this being recorded in a number of different studios.

And more than a little Bowie in the mix.

Next: Queens of the Stone Age, Rated R and Songs for the Deaf; Troy Kingi, Leatherman & the Mojave Green; Blue Cheer, The ‘67 Demos; Devilskin, Surfacing
