    Times New Roman might be one of the most vanilla of font choices but make no mistake, the QOTSA LP of the same name is anything but ordinary. In fact, it’s a spicy sucker waiting tantalise your musical taste buds

  2. 8.0 |   Kerrang!

    As a QOTSA album, In Times New Roman… is dark and disorientating; for Joshua Homme, it feels like a wholly necessary outpouring of creative catharsis

In spite of that, this is easily one of the strongest rock albums to come from 2023 so far, and if you’re a fan of the band or you enjoy the genre in general, this is sure to quench the majority of people’s thirst

  12. 6.5 |   Spectrum Culture

    After the chaos of the past several years, this album is clearly meant to be a bit of much-needed catharsis for Homme, and its existence is worthwhile for that alone. Perhaps it is a bit selfish to ask for it to be catharsis for us as well
