totally agree with this, I got into them with Rated R, which is probably my second fave, but ...Like Clockwork is their best all around album IMO. The songwriting is on another level and it flies by pace-wise.

I didnt know Grohl was on the record until after I heard it and saw the fact in this thread. However, while listening I kept thinking a) this drummer is good, b) almost Grohl good and c) Grohl may have ripped this guy off.

Grohl on drums makes this the QOTSA album Essential to my collection. Otherwise, not sure any of these make the Vinyl collection (as opposed to the CD/Digital collection).

When Songs for the Deaf came out, the publicity of Dave Grohl being in the band for that album is a big reason why it was so popular and a breakthrough album for QOTSA I remember. The fills on No One Knows really kick ass.

I remember I had just gotten MTV2 when the were hyping the premier of the No One Knows video. The good old days.
I reached out to customer service due to my Soft Bulletin jacket being damaged and they’re going to send me a replacement jacket. Normally, they would send a brand new record altogether, but this is the first time they’re just sending me a jacket. I’m not mad at it at all, just thought it was different than what I’ve normally experienced.

I asked for a replacement jacket, and they gave me credits. A pretty generous amount of credits, to be fair, but I would've preferred a replacement jacket. Ah well.

Any good guesses on what the next essential will be?

You know, I have a slight hunch that it might possibly be Songs For The Deaf by Queens of the Stone Age. Again, don't quote me on it. It's just a guess.

OK, I remember seeing that guess somewhere else as well. I get the feeling you already know and I should’ve Read this thread more thoroughly

The next 3 months of essentials have already been announced. I'm guessing it's up on their webpage of you take a look.

OK, aside from feeling embarrassed now,
I always thought they announce it on like the 24th or 25th and before that time. they keep it very tight to the vest.

Yeah, but then they decided to stoke the FOMO fires for more subscriptions (i.e. money), so they announced the next 3 all at once

ahh, I see..
I just rejoined a few weeks back. I feel a little silly asking this, but where on their site are Novembers records?
I can only see up to October (flaming lips)

Oh, the Flaming Lips were one of the three. Here's the link.

Hey there. We bet you’re here because you noticed something strange in this month’s announcement email, or, perhaps, saw what was in that email on Reddit, Twitter, Facebook, or your Tik-Tok. Or even the headline above. Well, your eyes didn’t deceive you. We’re so excited about the Essentials...

This happened to me with Jorge Ben - got just a replacement jacket for a crushed corner.

I’m honestly not sure I need this QOTSA either. I think they’re a really solid band and I like the record, but I just do t see myself ever listening to it. I’ve thrown SftD on maybe a handful of times over the last decade plus. Just not something I return to much.
I definitely want Aretha though....so I don’t want to cancel and not get back in but I would assume that that is HIGHLY unlikely to happen with an Essentials in month one. RHH and Classics are also misses for me with month. I’ll probably use the extra cash to buy Hounds of Love, Hats, and 2 Stereolab reissues. 4 records I’ll definitely listen to. Have my eye out for that Bon Iver variant though.

They never give pressing numbers but there are between 20,000 and 30,000 subscribers.
