An art rock band. In an age where Chevelle, Trapt, and Hoobastank turn rock radio into shit; QOTSA comes and ressurects rock music. There music is extremely melodic, with a common beat and melody throughout the song, then they add awesome riffs that are really experimental sounding. Lullabies to Paralyze is the best album ever.
Most people don't have the attention span to appreciate Queens of the Stone Age,their songs don't pick up until part way into the song.
I am listening to "Broken Box" by Queens of the Stone Age while writing this.
