Their Sky-Highnesses return in style.


Nick Oliveri’s departure sent a frisson of concern through Queens Of The Stone Age’s fanbase, but they needn’t have worried: the band’s fourth album is a heavy, heady intoxicant, the guitar equivalent of those tribal rituals that involve magic leaves, head-wobbling nausea and, ultimately, wild enlightenment. Guests like Shirley Manson and Brody Dalle are the least interesting things about it. The psyche-menace of Burn The Witch or Someone’s In The Wolf are enough proof that Big Bad Josh Homme is the shaman with the rock’n’roll plan.
