“On 'In Times New Roman,' Josh Homme's personal angst is less interesting than the LP's inventive sonic touches”
“Amidst personal turmoil, and declining spaces for hard rock in the public consciousness, Queens of the Stone Age’s Josh Homme entered the creation of ‘In Times New Roman’ with a selfish mission. “We’re going to make something that sounds as brutal as it feels to be alive right now,” Homme recently told NME about their eighth album’s genesis. “I think on this [part of the] journey there’s no armour”
“On its angriest and heaviest record in years, the rock band restores its bluesy, primitive sound as Joshua Homme confronts his recent turmoil”
“Here, QOTSA play it pretty safe. That might have been a necessary step to help Homme feel sheltered enough to show off his still-fresh wounds, but, on the whole it keeps the evolution of the band from reaching that next crucial step forward.”
“Rawer and more off-kilter than Villains, but only slightly better.”
