The new Queens of the Stone Age record “” is currently posted for your listening pleasure on . We thought we’d give the record a quick once over and blog each song as we listened. Here’s our breakdown on the album’s 14 tracks:

“Lullaby” — A lovely Mark Lanegan-sung lullaby that could stand in for anything in the Tom Waits catalog.

“Medication” — Classic Queens. Great riffs and huge Sabbath fuzzed out guitars.

“Everybody Knows You’re Insane” — A quiet minor chord verse dives headfirst into a pulsing, throbbing, chorus of Josh Homme repeating the line, “Everybody knows that you’re insane!” Could this be a dig at the recently departed Nick Oliveri?

“Tangled up in Plaid” — Clever title. Bouncy riff ala “No One Knows” except slower and with a piano pounding out the riff underneath. The vocal melody sounds like Soundgarden.

“Burn the Witch” — Dark and ominous. The soundtrack to a cloudy day in hell. Could almost be a really dark Led Zeppelin track, but maybe that’s the influence of ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons who plays on this one.

“In My Head” — A midtempo number with a catchy chorus.

“Little Sister” — A cowbell counts the song off and remains throughout. Sounds like an Urge Overkill song. Or maybe the bastard son of the Cars and Devo. Or better yet, what QOTSA would sound like if they existed in 1984 and found a time machine from the future with a Big Muff pedal.

“I Never Came” — Hopefully this title doesn’t refer to Mr. Homme’s relationship with Brody Dalle of “The Distillers.” Another midtempo track, this one more subdued than the previous. This one’s relatively angst free with a chorus sung in falsetto.

“Someone’s In the Wolf” — A 7+ minute romp through angular riffs and underwater vocals. Math rock for metalheads.

“The Blood is Love” — a mutant circus waltz gives way to a meaty descending guitar riff topped with a double-tracked Lanegan vocal.

“Skin on Skin” — Multiple guitars feedback over a grungy groove and a wah wah pedal lead. This is what really dirty sex sounds like.

“Broken Box” — The blues, QOTSA style. A honky tonk piano riff over distorted bass, and later guitars.

“You Got a Killer Scene” — Like a mutated version of Jimi Hendrix’s “Foxy Lady” as performed by PJ Harvey on downers.

“Long Slow Goodbye” — Acoustic guitars and a tamborine underscore the song’s three chords which eventually fade out into the noise a phone makes when left off the hook. 30 seconds of silence follows the track, immediately followed by a brass band that play us out of the record.

For our money, this one’s better than the their last, “,” and about the same caliber as their classic second disc “.” Then again, we only listened once, and truly great records rarely emerge from a first listen. Also, kudos on another excellent album title.
