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.

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.

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.

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]
