In Times New Roman..., the eighth studio album from Queens of the Stone Age, came out on Matador on June 16, 2023, six years after Villains. The band produced it themselves, and it closes the loose trilogy they started on the label with ...Like Clockwork in 2013. A video teaser announced it on May 9, with lead single "Emotion Sickness" arriving alongside.
The lineup that has held since 2013 is all here: Josh Homme, Troy Van Leeuwen, Dean Fertita, Michael Shuman and Jon Theodore behind the kit. Together they make the Queens sound at its most sinewy and sour, stoner-rock riffs that coil and lurch rather than simply pummel, Homme's falsetto sliding over guitar lines that wander where standard scales fear to go, with a little blues grit and krautrock pulse in the gears. "Paper Machete" struts along with a mean, dancing swing.
