It is the eighth studio album from Queens of the Stone Age that is raw, brutal & rough around the edges but with a refinement that reveals itself further with each successive listen, and QOTSA founder Joshua Homme's lyrics are as witty and withering as ever. The results are instantly identifiable; QOTSA's sonic signature expanded and embellished with new and unprecedented twists in virtually every song, a live in-a-room recording that showcases a band at the height of their creative powers. It is a party for the obscene and the clean, the outcasts and the weirdos, and anyone and everyone in between. One of the most important bands in recent rock history is B A C K but it's no exaggeration to call this album a devastating rebirth.
