smags is such a genius he doubled his voice at the start of the video to fit in with the album's theme of death by simulating his spirit calling from beyond the grave. the goat fr
i appear missing is easily their best song, probably top 10 all time for me. their live performances really emphasizes the bass, which i love so much, especially during that unraveling ending
This album was mostly written shortly after a near death experience Josh Homme (lead singer) went through in a hospital. Really makes sense when looking into the lyrics. Amazing reaction as always!
every qotsa album before this one is extremely worthy of a listen, i reccomend their debut self titled album! i think a lot of people sleep on it but it's my personal favourite
0:39 Keep Your Eyes Peeled 2:53 I Sat by the Ocean 4:53 The Vampyre of Time and Memory 7:15 If I Had a Tail 9:55 My God Is the Sun 12:11 Kalopsia 15:03 Fairweather Friends 17:22 Smooth Sailing 19:34 I Appear Missing 22:09 ...Like Clockwork
This is easily my favourite Queens album. I love Rated R and Songs For The Deaf, but the emotional impact from the song writing here is next level for me. This album came from a place of suffering for Josh Homme, he died on the operating table during a complication with knee surgery. They managed to revive him, but the situation messed him up a lot, he was bed ridden for 4 months post-surgery. Dude almost gave up on music entirely, he felt like a piece of himself was missing. It makes the album all the more powerful knowing the story behind it, especially making I Appear Missing and ...Like Clockwork hit even harder.
Mah God!!! It's happened! What an outstanding album you chose. Since the first listening I still can't fix my heart from those guitars, poems and Homme's voice
In 2011 Josh Homme momentarily died on the operating table and woke up in a coma for 4 months. That's what this album and especially the song, 'I Appear Missing' is about lyrically.
Holy fuck yes!! Thank you! Please do Era Vulgaris or Rated R also by QOTSA too (I'd maybe even throw in Villains too, purely to see your reaction to Feet Don't Fail Me), but for albums not by QOTSA, Trench by Twenty One Pilots is a must, same with The Fragile by NIN too
Great choice Smags! This and Songs for the Deaf are pretty much tied for me 14:28 If you really want to do more Nine Inch Nails, Pretty Hate Machine and The Fragile are superb albums
You really should check out some live performances of I appear missing, specifically Letterman. For me it has become the only version I can listen to. Also the music videos might get you more into the mood of the songs.
Please check out please please , Them crooked Vultures, basically queens of the stone age with John Paul Jones of led Zeppelin!!! That and, Iggy Pop - Post pop depression
I appear missing, and the majority of this record, is basically the lead singer Josh Homme reflecting on a near-death experience he had whilst being stuck in a coma He felt as though a piece of him was missing once he finally woke (pieces were stolen from me, or dare I say given away) Glad you got to enjoy this record bro, Josh Homme and company definitely cooked with this one
Thank you for posting this. I have seen them live four times. Every time has blown me away. Sir Elton John contributed vocals and piano on “Fair Weather Friends”. Now all I want to do is listen to this album on repeat today. Any QOTSA album you pick to react to is fine with me. I’ll check it out.
i love the way you react to these albums and the way you describe how they make you feel, makes for entertaining content. like clockwork is my favorite album ever, and it's not even close. queens of the stone age released an album last year that has a kinda similar vibe, In Times New Roman
I got really excited when I saw that you were listening to this and I'm glad you enjoyed it! QotSA is my favourite band and I would definitely consider this their most coherent and frankly best work. I love each and every song, all of them adding to the themes and emotions portrayed through the album with really interesting sounds. Also if you want more queens recommendations, their newer albums 'Villains' and 'In Times New Roman...' continue along the vein of this album whereas earlier stuff like 'Queens of the Stone Age' and 'Rated R' tends to be heavier and close, which I love. The in betweens of the two you reviewed, 'Lullabies to Paralyze' and 'Era Vulgaris' toe the line between the two and are my favourites of the bunch.
Totally agree on Lullabies and Era. Love the old stuff and the new stuff, but that middle period of experimentation and weirdness (and Vultures) is probably my favorite.
Dude this band never misses. The reason they are so great is whatever mood you are in that day there is a QOTSA album to go along with it. The first two albums are raw but have some bangers on there. I would recommend Rated R as the next QOTSA album you check next.
Let’s fucking go I’m at work and can’t listen but you know the post-work eats + Smags video is going to go crazy. One of my favorite albums, got me into QOTSA, great car album too
Hell yeah we’re getting high on the ranking. Rated R and their Self-Titled are easily their next best for me, the self titled is far closer sounding to Kyuss which btw you should also check out bc that shit grows on you
This one is definitely their most melodic, and the start of a trilogy they continued with Villains and recently ended with In Times New Roman. Each Queens album is different and they all stand out in major ways, but keep the same elements that make the band great all the way through. The only one I would call a little subpar is the debut (gonna get roasted for that) but you can’t go wrong with any of their albums really, such a consistently great band. I’d recommend rounding out the trilogy and see where it takes you!
My favourite album ever by my favourite band ever! This album really got me properly into music, treating albums as significant pieces of art. Also, the music video for the album is one of the coolest things ever.
Awesome man, This album was awesome!!!! Highly recommend All Things Must Pass By George Harrison, RAM By Paul McCartney, Graceland By Paul Simon, and The Undertale OST, that would be interesting!!!
The extended live version of I appear missing is godly you gotta check it out, so much better than the album version and the album version is the best track on a great record. Extended live I appear missing may be peak QOTSA ever, it’s so glorious
I properly discovered QOTSA when I saw them live back to back with Nine Inch Nails in 2014 just after this album came out and let me tell you, I was absolutely shaken to my core after that, instantly became one of my fav bands of all time and this album changed my life, I was in a pretty miserable place back then and it just hit me the right way. Trent Reznor also features on another of their songs, a bonus song called Era Vulgaris off of the album of the same name, that album…. I love it, but it’s super weird and pretty abrasive, has some beautiful moments in it too, but unsure what you’d think of it. It would be cool to see a reaction to it regardless, with the bonus tracks because they released the album here in Australia with them as part of the full album.
I saw this tour on the Melbourne leg, it was a fucking amazing show. Which among many great moments included The Wretched with the entire piano intro played by Trent under a spotlight. Unforgettable show.
@@towarzyszbeagle6866 That was the one I went to! His little speech after getting overwhelmed after The Wretched was amazing to see and then he just followed it off with “and now here’s a song about the end of the world” I wish NIN would tour again, specially Aus.
Honestly QOTSA is one of these artists where you could do their full discography and enjoy each album. Same league as Radiohead, Blur, Elliott Smith in terms of creativity and artistic choices.
Don’t know if anyone else has recommended this album, but you NEED to listen to Them Crooked Vultures self-titled album. They were a super group consisting of Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age/Kyuss, John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin and Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters/Nirvana
One thing I've noticed is that you seem to really like guitar solos, so maybe check out Baroness (either The Red Album, Blue Record, or Purple) they have awesome harmonized guitar solos and instrumental sections you might vibe with!
QOTSA is my favorite band ever, and their generally agreed-upon best works are Songs for the Deaf, ...Like Clockwork, and Rated R. They're my favorites too - ...Like Clockwork for when I want to feel all the feelings, Rated R when I'm manic, and Songs for the Deaf when I'm anywhere in the middle. None of their other albums are to be slept on though, Lullabies to Paralyze is a big standout in my personal opinion
@@smags1082 yeah I’m not getting those notifications for some reason. Maybe because I’m using through browser and not the app? I’ll download and see if that fixes it
you haven't reacted to other albums from the glow pt2 trilogy(1it was hot we stayed in water,3 Mount eerie) you should check them out man, i like watching you listen to albums
Hey its been a while since I’ve commented some recommendations, but I have some albums I think you would really like. You should react to “King Night” by Salem “The raven that refused to sing” by Steven Wilson And lastly “ZUSHI” by Dean Blunt I would greatly appreciate it if you reacted to any of these, keep up the good work.
smags is such a genius he doubled his voice at the start of the video to fit in with the album's theme of death by simulating his spirit calling from beyond the grave. the goat fr
Yes that’s what I meant !!
🔥
QOTSA is my favorite genre.
PEAK ALBUM. just saw these guys live 2 days ago and it was incredible. Almost cried when they played I Appear Missing
Florida let’s go! Agreed, one of the best rock concerts I’ve ever seen
i was at the same show, i screamed when they started playing it
I saw them in 2014 for the Like Clockwork tour. Immediately turned me into a huge fan.
I got to hear I Appear Missing in New Zealand and I will never forget it.
Shoulda cried pussy
Rated R gotta be next it’s where they truly found there sound
I Appear Missing might be the best Queens of the Stone Age songs and one of my favorites songs ever
i appear missing is easily their best song, probably top 10 all time for me. their live performances really emphasizes the bass, which i love so much, especially during that unraveling ending
Definetly check out Kyuss sometime. Josh Homme was their guitarist.
And Them Crooked Vultures as well.
This album was mostly written shortly after a near death experience Josh Homme (lead singer) went through in a hospital. Really makes sense when looking into the lyrics. Amazing reaction as always!
every qotsa album before this one is extremely worthy of a listen, i reccomend their debut self titled album! i think a lot of people sleep on it but it's my personal favourite
Absolutely, the debut is great. Heavily underrated. Must react
Debut album kicks ass!
0:39 Keep Your Eyes Peeled
2:53 I Sat by the Ocean
4:53 The Vampyre of Time and Memory
7:15 If I Had a Tail
9:55 My God Is the Sun
12:11 Kalopsia
15:03 Fairweather Friends
17:22 Smooth Sailing
19:34 I Appear Missing
22:09 ...Like Clockwork
One of my favorite albums. For me its easily the best QOTSA album
you should listen to You're Living All Over Me by Dinosaur Jr.
Classic album
This is easily my favourite Queens album. I love Rated R and Songs For The Deaf, but the emotional impact from the song writing here is next level for me. This album came from a place of suffering for Josh Homme, he died on the operating table during a complication with knee surgery.

Yesss! Do the rest of queens soon! Era vulgaris or villains next!
Era Vulgaris is so good!
Villains is quite an interesting choice given all the other albums they have, mayb It just wasn’t for me
@@loganvf8718 yeah I should have recomenden era vulgaris and lullabies, but I actually do love villains
Huh?? They have 2 better albums in the debut and Rated R, why would you recommend two weaker ones first even tho I do like Era Vulgaris
Please listen to when the kite string pops by acid bath
YES
God I can’t wait for Era Vulgaris
QOTSA's magnum opus in my opinion, and If I Had a Tail is the groove that's always in the back of my head.
NIN - The Fragile
Mah God!!!
It's happened! What an outstanding album you chose.
Since the first listening I still can't fix my heart from those guitars, poems and Homme's voice
And of course for the next listening.
Jon Hopkins - Immunity pls pls pls!
In 2011 Josh Homme momentarily died on the operating table and woke up in a coma for 4 months. That's what this album and especially the song, 'I Appear Missing' is about lyrically.
Rated R is a must listen.
Please listen to a Mars Volta album please I’m begging you
yes yes
At the drive in first?
Frances the Mute by TMV or Relationship of Command by ATDI would be great!
There's a live version of 'I Appear Missing' as performed on Letterman that you must check out. They extend the outro and it sounds incredible.
Holy fuck yes!! Thank you! Please do Era Vulgaris or Rated R also by QOTSA too (I'd maybe even throw in Villains too, purely to see your reaction to Feet Don't Fail Me), but for albums not by QOTSA, Trench by Twenty One Pilots is a must, same with The Fragile by NIN too
10/10 album, so hauntingly beautiful
hell yeah man you always listen to my favorite albums
Great choice Smags! This and Songs for the Deaf are pretty much tied for me
14:28 If you really want to do more Nine Inch Nails, Pretty Hate Machine and The Fragile are superb albums
I had the honor of seeing these guys as my very first concert! You should definitely listen to other albums, QOTSA is amazing.
You really should check out some live performances of I appear missing, specifically Letterman. For me it has become the only version I can listen to.
Also the music videos might get you more into the mood of the songs.
Please check out please please , Them crooked Vultures, basically queens of the stone age with John Paul Jones of led Zeppelin!!!
That and, Iggy Pop - Post pop depression
Caligula soon please 🥺
yes yes
I appear missing, and the majority of this record, is basically the lead singer Josh Homme reflecting on a near-death experience he had whilst being stuck in a coma

Glad you got to enjoy this record bro, Josh Homme and company definitely cooked with this one
Peak reaction bro! This is my fave QOTSA album!
Hey man we need your next Autechre review, pls do Confield

qotsa's newest album In Times New Roman... is definitely amazing as well. not to mention Like Clockwork is my favourite album of all time

@@jacobneylon647Oh for sure! It was hard to get into for me but it's so worth it
this kid is getting in to all the great boomer albums. thanks for giving our music a chance.
Like Clockwork is such a legendary album. So good to see you react to it
been waiting two months for this!!
12:15
Smags : who breathing?
Homme : IIIII
Dude this band never misses. The reason they are so great is whatever mood you are in that day there is a QOTSA album to go along with it. The first two albums are raw but have some bangers on there. I would recommend Rated R as the next QOTSA album you check next.

Hell yeah we’re getting high on the ranking.
Rated R and their Self-Titled are easily their next best for me, the self titled is far closer sounding to Kyuss which btw you should also check out bc that shit grows on you
One of my favorite albums of all time, great reaction
I saw QOTSA live back when they were touring this album which was like 11 years ago and it’s still probably the best gig I’ve ever been to
I LOVE QOTSA GLAD YOU DID THIS RAHHHHHH
This is their best album by far. A masterpiece from beginning to end
smags has done every album in my top 5 I can die happy now
Smooth Sailing has an absolutely bonkers music video.
This one is definitely their most melodic, and the start of a trilogy they continued with Villains and recently ended with In Times New Roman. Each Queens album is different and they all stand out in major ways, but keep the same elements that make the band great all the way through.

My favourite album ever by my favourite band ever! This album really got me properly into music, treating albums as significant pieces of art.
Also, the music video for the album is one of the coolest things ever.
W Smags for recognizing the value of the amazing three-track run that is My God is the Sun to Fairweather Friends
Awesome man, This album was awesome!!!! Highly recommend All Things Must Pass By George Harrison, RAM By Paul McCartney, Graceland By Paul Simon, and The Undertale OST, that would be interesting!!!
Listen to it was hot we stayed in the water by the microphones
Really good album fr
Could you do a review on future sounds of london dead cities love ur content
I just discovered your music,and I'm obsessed,I'm gatekeeping you!!💖💖

TIGERS JAW slef titled!! Very Underated.
Honestly QOTSA is one of these artists where you could do their full discography and enjoy each album. Same league as Radiohead, Blur, Elliott Smith in terms of creativity and artistic choices.
Yesss, one of the all time greats
also, Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys did the vocals at the end of "If I Had a Tail". Definitely check out their debut or sophomore album!
This is my favorite album from Queens
Don’t know if anyone else has recommended this album, but you NEED to listen to Them Crooked Vultures self-titled album. They were a super group consisting of Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age/Kyuss, John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin and Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters/Nirvana
next one should be rated r, you will love it. check the first album too
One thing I've noticed is that you seem to really like guitar solos, so maybe check out Baroness (either The Red Album, Blue Record, or Purple) they have awesome harmonized guitar solos and instrumental sections you might vibe with!

This album cover is red, just like third eye blind’s self titled. Nice
a perfect album. i appear missing and t/t is an incredible 1-2 punch of an outro
This band is beyond tremendous and this album is an instant classic. Josh Homme don’t miss, he’s the 🐐 for real 🤘🏽
Bro how can I get updated when you go live on Patreon? I’ve missed every live stream so far
I believed it sent out a notification, but next stream I will post a few days prior of when it will happen
@@smags1082 yeah I’m not getting those notifications for some reason. Maybe because I’m using through browser and not the app? I’ll download and see if that fixes it
Never clicked on a vid so fast
Love QOTSA! You should check out the superband "Them Crooked Vultures". Very similar vibe
Similar because it’s just QOTSA but with John Paul Jones
I think this is one if the best albums of all time
Superdrag next?
this album is a banger
Angel Dust by Faith No More would be a great album reaction.
Holy shit finaly
If you like the more melodic stuff, In Times New Roman is what you’re looking for (latest Queens of The Stone Age album)
you haven't reacted to other albums from the glow pt2 trilogy(1it was hot we stayed in water,3 Mount eerie) you should check them out man,
i like watching you listen to albums
Amazing man, pleeeease do Lullabies to Paralyze and Era Vulgaris
The best music reaction channel. I love you bro
if you like QOTSA you should try out Them Crooked Vultures. they have one album at it is incredible
oh and please do every queens album
Peak album
I was gonna see these guys in edmonton before they canceled like ten minutes before the show
This album is a goddamn masterpiece
gotta do Duck Stab by The Residents next.........
Rated r next. Their best imo...
Sturgill Simpson - Sound and Fury INXS - KICKs Royal Blood Royal Blood - Sam Phillips - Cruel Inventions
can i recommend the mars volta - frances the mute
Lets go
hell yeah
Do more QOTSA. Start with their first record.
Hey its been a while since I’ve commented some recommendations, but I have some albums I think you would really like. You should react to “King Night” by Salem
“The raven that refused to sing” by Steven Wilson
And lastly “ZUSHI” by Dean Blunt
I would greatly appreciate it if you reacted to any of these, keep up the good work.
Would like to see you react to Villains by qotsa, underrated album imo.
Day 1 of asking for “No Moon” by black wing. It’s made by Dan Barrett from HANL so yeah. I recommend.
can you react to mojo pin live at wetlands nyc ( jeff buckley live) or heaven or las vegas by cocteau twins
Pixel Bath by Jean Dawson please!
I didn’t think Songs for the Death could be beat, but I think …Like Clockwork takes the cake.
