JohnBMar 26, 2005I am a Queens fan since the beginning and Homme's talents never cease to amaze me. I thought Songs for the Deaf couldn't be topped but I am now thinking twice. I wonder if Homme thought the same when he included a DVD of the making of the album with the release.

NadiaCMar 30, 2005I thought this album was realy well done. I was expecting it to be weak because of Nick Oliveri's absence, but low and behold QOTSA never fail to deliver. A song I really liked on the album was "in my head", did anyone else find the guitar riffs on that song amazingly catchy?

EdCAug 5, 2005Brilliant, hard rocking, ultimate awesomeness! And who doesn't want more cowbell? Lullabies is a masterpiece, almost surpassing Songs. Sheer and obscene awesomeness.

NickLAug 23, 2006A great, haunting album that isn't for everyone but if you are into the style you will love it.

RosscoePJun 20, 2007when i first got this album, to tell the truth, i was alittle upset, becasue it hought this was songs for the deaf, but after listening to it, i must say, i think this is their best album

SeanWMar 25, 2005Not as excellent as 'Songs for the Deaf' (which on a scale of 1-10 was a 12) but still rocks harder than anything else you're gonna hear on the radio without a rap beat or emo screaming
-
-
DaxxRMar 30, 2005Another Josh road trip, with lost love, sadness and tones of lullabies which will paralyze every nerve ending.
-
-
JohnRApr 6, 2005It kills and you know it. Like Josh says "We could come off sounding like Slayer, and people would still be saying 'their edge is gone'. Bull! This chugs in all the right places while ending up even more eclectic and strange than the similar Rated R. As fun, innovative and loud as any rock out there.

-
RyanLApr 9, 2005Anyone who didn't think this worth the cash, need only listen to "Burn The Witch" a few times on a friends CD, cuz you know your friends got it. The layered guitar riffs, melodic vocals, blending Homme, Billy Gibbons, and Lanegan in a alto, soprano, whiskey-drinking smoker trio that bring life to words that are so simple. Go ahead. Prove me wrong. I dare you.

jenMar 21, 2007this is one of the greatest albums of my time if you are in any doubt buy it put it in the cd player of your car head out to the country with a pack of marlboros and a few friends and go for it. thats what this album is all about

-
VladaJAug 15, 2007for me this is best album ever,best album of 2007, although i spent lot of time listening to it end i'm finding that this album can't be likeable at first,and you realy must like QOTSA...so if someone say that he realy listens them and say that he don't like that album,then i can understand... QOTSA FAN

KeytonEMar 22, 2005If you're a Queens fan, this album is amazing. Forget all this crap about mediocrity, this is the Queens at their best.
-
-
KristjanHMar 23, 2005Agreed, Keyton E... Queens at their best. Start to finish a very solid album.
-
-
EricBMar 27, 2005There is alot of great stuff going on in "Lullabies." It is vastly different than "Songs for the Deaf." (not nearly as hard, AKA, no Dave Grohl) "Lullabies" is more of a mystical, multi-layered album. It took me a couple of listens to get into, but I'm already liking it better than anything they have ever done. Give it a chance, and you'll be pleasantly surprised.

JohnnyFeelgoodMar 25, 2005The engineering/production is HORRIBLE. The songs are BRILLIANT. This could have been a classic album, but the engineers/mixers/masterers screwed it up. This is the real issue here. The songs, themselves, are much better than the songs on Songs for the Deaf.

declanMApr 20, 2005I have been into these guys since kyuss way back before they were popular have all the sessions this album rocks but it does miss the nick ingredient apart from that a cool stoner album have to say one thing kyuss sound more accomplished and more experimental just listen to sky valley wow heavy man.

GoranSMar 23, 2005An excellent album, Very mystical. The album just flows perfectly and gives you music-orgasm sometimes. Great riffs and choruses. Not better then Songs for the deaf but very, very close.
-
-
CameronRMar 24, 2005very great cd. Ive been listening to queens of the stone age for about 3 years now and this is my sexcond fav album.(Behind the famous songs for the deaf). Great if your a rock fan get it even if your not get it.

GaryMMar 29, 2005at times it's softer than previous efforts but still an excellent album.

-
jamesrMar 29, 2005not as good as songs for the dea,f but still has its own brilliant style and is still way ahead of everything else
-
-
EricRMar 29, 2005Maybe not quite as good as Songs for the Deaf, but a strong album all the same. Maybe it's because they opened their show with "Someone's in the Wolf", but I really love that song despite multiple reviews dismissing it as "limp." With a few more listens, I might put this album equal with Rated R and Songs for the Deaf.
-
-
MarkMay 19, 2005This is another fine effort from the queens, with this album being far darker than some their earlier albums. The album obviously lacks the explosiveness that Nick Oliveri brought to the group, but with tracks as amazing as 'Someone's In The Wolf', who actually cares? Brilliant.

DorJun 24, 2005Fantastic.

MarkK.Feb 8, 2008These lullabies indeed paralyze with pure brilliance.

KarlipattickNiotNov 27, 2005Go read about how awesome "Songs for the Deaf" is. Now, imagine all that extreme coolness that everyone regards "Songs.." with, but then imagine somthing even COOLER. That something cooler is "Lullabies to Paralyze," child, and it's gonna eat you alive. And you'll probably like it. I know I do.

Nov 22, 2013Again, as QOTSA release another album with a completely different sound to any of their others. A lot of my faovurite QOTSA songs are included on this album (Tangled Up In Plaid, Burn The Witch, Little Sister, Someone's In The Wolf) and had the last few songs been as good as the first 3/4s of the album, it really would be a perfect 10.
-
RichardLSep 4, 2005A great album in its own right. Just don't compare it to songs for the deaf.

MatDMay 3, 2005Good album. QOTSA always surprise us with different albums that are as interesting as previous material. Some people want the same things all the time from a band, and it's sad they don't understand the process.

KeithVanLApr 15, 2005I was disappointed at first. Then I grew to love this disk. Great tunes, great lyrics...and it's pretty faithfull to the rest of the their other albums. If you're a QOTSA fan, and have been waiting to get this disk...stop waiting and buy it!
-
-
TroutSApr 5, 2005Pretty good stuff not much to complain about other than the repatition in some parts of the album. It's great to see a rock band stick to its roots. Unlike Greenday!
-
-
MikeCMay 15, 2005This is probably on a par with songs for the deaf. There maybe aren't as many good tunes, but it is more adventurous in many ways. The sense of humour is still there, it's just burried a little deeper than previously.
-
-
AndrewGMay 25, 2005It took me about 7 listenings to start to enjoy this album. I loved Songs for the Deaf. This album while not as good, is still way above the average album released these days. QOTSA is one of those special bands that sound completely different than any other band.
-
-
OlivierBMay 27, 2005A bit disapointing compared to Songs for the Deaf but still an interresting album. It's less energetic, more hypnotizing. Their metal aspect has almost disappeared but has not really been replaced by anything new unfortunately.
-
-
JohnNMay 16, 2006Excellent shakes you outta your bones with every listen bistling with energy my only quandry is the first eight songs are great (Burn the Witch and In my Head especially) but the rest is not that memorable.

May 6, 2011classic album 8.9,this is a wonderful albums the lyrics are spot on.a blues experimental type from qotsa.
good for when your sick of something.i recommend this album ..a true journey -
Dec 27, 2018Album en el cual se destacan varias canciones que fueron exitos comerciales de la banda, lo cual no debe tomarse como algo malo pues este album es el responsable de que himnos como burn the witch , my head, medication entre otros, sean coreados por todos en los conciertos de esta grna banda, un infantable en la discografia de los queens of the stone age sin duda.

MattJun 9, 2005Lacks the creativity of Songs For The Deaf, as the guitar work is a repetitive.
-
-
WinEJul 30, 2007I'm a big fan and for 2 years I've been trying to get into this album. Sadly, it's never gonna 'click'. It's a struggle. There are some real great tracks, but too much of it is nowhere near what'[s expected of Homme & Co. A really tough record to get into and the good songs against the bad don't make listening very rewarding.

calcxxkMar 23, 2005After two of the greatest albums EVER and one pretty good one in Songs..., Queens just give us an album thats barely a joke. Some moments would sound great from other bands - I Never Came and Little Sister are good, but very standard in their apporach. I find this album a little insulting really.

Awards & Rankings

Entertainment WeeklyThe macho posturing can get obnoxious.... That said, anyone looking for a band that can mix and match metal, blues, thrash, punk, psychedelia, and grunge as the mood suits will be floored by Lullabies. [25 Mar 2005, p.70]
-
It's the tension between Homme's conflicting impulses that pressurizes Lullabies to Paralyze's highest points and accounts for its lows.
-
BlenderSounds routine, obscure without much mystery. [Apr 2005, p.124]
