    Gotta say that new song is awful, very mediocre and mundane. Hoping for a lot better than this.

    Id nearly think the same, but the chorus is in my head. Friends of friends released a song yesterday that I much prefer. Check out Ka Tet.

    Must have a listen, though I half expect QOTSA are on a downward slope for good at this stage. Pity. The tunes have just evaporated.

    Can see where you're coming from when you describe it as mundane, there's nothing particularly interesting about the song. Seems like a generic by the numbers QOTSA effort, however it's stuck in my head and really growing on me for some reason.

    QOTSA are over as far as I'm concerned.

    Era Vulgaris has moments of greatness but overall sounded like some experimental Josh Homme album, Them Crooked Vultures were the exact same.

    Thankfully Soundgarden, Alice in Chains and Clutch are still going strong :)

    I'll reserve judgement until the album proper has reached these ears. I reckon this is just an album cut to test the waters. I like the bridge, the rest isn't great. Hopefully it's better than the last Soundgarden album, though, I don't think they've slid that far. Yet.

    6 years !!
    Where does the time go ?

    Will keep an eye out for this - hope it's as good as the new Soundgarden album.

    A little off topic - Josh Homme on Anthony Bourdain's show two years ago drinking tequilla playing songs in the desert.

    The full album could be a cracker, they’d be in my top three bands. I can’t even recall how that tune went though, which is really strange considering the band. Kinda had my fill of super cool Josh Homme, he can be downright funny or a jacked up coke ape.

    The new song sounds a bit like The Sky is Falling from Songs for the Deaf. If they can get this album sounding like that one then I'll be happy.

    Agreed, it's got a nice atmosphere to it, and sounds like a lot more thought went into writing the song. In fairness I like "My God Is The Sun", when heard it first I forgot about it pretty quickly, but I listened to it again recently and it had grown on me quite a lot; of course it's quite generic (you can almost hear where the Arctic Monkeys got their sound from) yet very catchy and not a bad song in the grand scale of things.

    I wonder will "I Appear Missing" be made available for folks with pre-orders on iTunes?

    I do like both songs released so far, but as a friend of mine said, if they aren't the weaker songs on the album it'll be disappointing...

    They played 2 songs on Jools Holland on BBC2 tonight. Excellent, can't see what they were though.

    The full show is on this Friday night at 11:00pm.

    Stare at the Ocean and God is the Sun is what they played. Will probably be 1 old song added on Friday, maybe 2.

    It's out June 4th, it will have been ready for ages, labels do this all the time, holding on to an album to "promote it" before release and then wonder why/how album gets leaked.

    Just listened to it all the way through. Initial impression is that its very good. Slightly different in places but overall a strong album. Possibly their best since songs for the deaf.

    People were complaining that My God is the Sun sounded like another generic qotsa rock song, and I kind of agreed. Luckily that's about the only song on the album you could say that about.
