Era Vulgaris by Queens of the Stone Age
Era Vulgaris is an album by Queens of the Stone Age, released in 2007. 3 songs from it have charted on rock radio countdowns, with 21 countdown appearances in total. The biggest is “3's and 7's”, on 9 lists with a best position of #25.
Era Vulgaris, Queens of the Stone Age's fifth album, came out on Interscope on June 12, 2007, their last for the label, after sessions that ran from July 2006 into April 2007. Josh Homme produced it with Chris Goss, and with Troy Van Leeuwen and drummer Joey Castillo beside him he made a twitchy, abrasive record: robotic grooves, guitars that buzz like faulty wiring, a krautrock pulse under the riffs and Homme's falsetto sliding over the top like a smirk.
"Sick, Sick, Sick" came out first, a mean, clanking blast, then "3's & 7's", which barrels along like a hot rod with a bad attitude. "Make It Wit Chu" slows things to a greasy late-night slink. The album debuted at number 14 on the Billboard 200 and went top ten in the UK, Canada and Australia.
