Era Vulgaris

Josh Homme characterized this work as a nocturnal trip through the city. The band favors abrasive textures and a dry production style over anything polished. It acts as a gritty, industrial-tinged look at the alternative rock scene.

Restless and twitchy energy drives the songs, emphasizing rhythmic precision instead of studio sheen. This record prioritizes raw attitude above all else. It remains a notable departure from the previous melodic leanings of the group.
