I’d have to disagree with QotSA, but I can definitely see why. I’m a huuuge fan of theirs, but for some reason every new QotSA album seems to take years for me to fully appreciate. I absolutely hated Era Vulgaris when it first came out. It’s by far my favorite album of theirs now. Even …like clockwork is barely starting to really grow on me, but I’m definitely coming around. I haven’t even bothered to listen to their newest one yet.

Songs for the Deaf is incredible, but how could you say they fell off when Like Clockwork Era Vulgaris exists and is clearly their best album all the way through?
