Queens Of The Stone Age – Era Vulgaris

Would’ve prefered this being released as a double LP but the 10”x12” sleeve size is pretty cool, fits better on the shelf than a regular 10” sleeve.

If someone wants one of these from Australia, Goldmine Records have one for $60 on their website.

There's a major thing not being discussed among these reviews, unless I got a bad copy. On each disc, the stopping point for the needle is on top of the label. I can't imagine this is great for said needle, though the sound it makes is fitting for the theme of the album. Sounds great otherwise to my ears

Compré este disco hace muchos años y solo lo escuché un par de veces, no pude más!... aún no comprendo cómo tiene mejor sonido el CD que esta bellísima edición, que a mi parecer es de uno de los buenos discos de QOTSA... creo que terminaré comprando la re edición de 12” 😅

Ive got a copy thats autographed by josh joey and troy 😏

Now we can all be equally disappointed that this 55(!) minute album is being squashed onto a single piece of vinyl to cash in. Morons.

I too bought it for collection reasons, sealed. If you have a quality record deck, it’s a total disappointment in comparison to Matador / Music on Vinyl re-releases. Rated R / Lullabies / Like Clockwork / the latest boring one and Them Crooked Vultures, which all sound full of presence and so very revealing. Sadly this is a congested, flattened, boxy presentation, the polar opposite of the landmark music it contains. It’s Radiohead syndrome, whose many vinyl releases are also a disappointment in comparison to their digital counterpart.... but this was the mid 2000’s when the record industry was download crazy and couldn’t care less about vinyl. I’ve requested MOV reissue it, perhaps we could all do the same! Lullabies is such a solid reissue and this neurotic album deserves to be resurrected.

Sounds really good. Compared to the CD, the sound is a lot fuller and wider. I believe this is a different mix compared to the CD aswell as the drums are mixed differently in many of the songs. For example, in 3's and 7's the hihat is in the center, not on the left side. Also Sick, Sick, Sick sounds a lot meatier. Higher dynamic range too I believe.

Love this album! Don't mind the 10 inch format, it looks cool and unique. Sounds good on my setup. If you can find it for cheap, get it!!

My copy sounds fantastic! Bright and balanced with plenty of highs and lows. All depends on your set up and weather you scored a hot press or one at the end of the stampers life.
