We're hostages of geography
Continuing my trip back through the 2017 album charts. 01/09/17 : Villains - Queens Of The Stone Age Our fourth visit with QOTSA and my previous reactions have been indifference, aversion and mild appreciation - so we could be anywhere with this! Hmmm - they sound like they're going for a David Bowie/T Rex 70s-ish sound on this. And, whilst it's certainly not a sound I know that well, I feel like they've achieved a certain amount of success with it. I can't say I loved it, but it was an interesting enough listen which I can see people could get into (and possibly even me, given a few more listens) - whether the QOTSA fans did is less clear to me, but I guess Wikipedia will let me know. We're at #1 in the charts with a new entry this week on the start of a nine week run, which feels about what it deserved. The rest of the top five are Ed Sheeran , The War On Drugs (a new entry), PVRIS (another one - and I like a bit of PVRIS so might check this out) and Shane Filan...
