In Times New Roman... is Queens Of The Stone Age returning in 2023 with a record that sounds bruised, elegant and openly poisonous. It arrived six years after Villains and after a hard stretch around Josh Homme's public and private life, but the album does not present itself as confession in the soft sense. Obscenery, Paper Machete, Negative Space, Emotion Sickness, Carnavoyeur and Straight Jacket Fitting turn damage into theatre: cutting guitar figures, clipped grooves, bitter wordplay, glam-rock sneer and choruses that seem to grin while bleeding. The title's mock-classical joke matters because the album is full of ruined empire imagery, bad manners and legalistic self-disgust, all carried by a band that has become tighter without becoming polite. In the 2023 rock landscape, where many veteran guitar groups leaned on nostalgia or festival authority, Queens Of The Stone Age made a late-catalogue album that feels physically present. It has the swing of the old records, but the temperature is older, meaner and more reflective.

In Times New Roman... matters because it gave Queens Of The Stone Age a substantial 2020s chapter rather than a victory lap. The album reconnects the band with danger, wit and wounded grandeur, proving that their hard-rock vocabulary can still absorb age, scandal, grief and black comedy.

For collectors, In Times New Roman... is the key post-Villains document and a major later-period Queens Of The Stone Age title. It sits naturally with ...Like Clockwork and Villains as part of the band's later trilogy of sleek, adult, emotionally damaged rock records.

Tense late-period QOTSA with glam-rock bite, surgical riffs, bitter hooks, coiled grooves, theatrical vocals, black comedy and a bruised but luxurious studio finish.

Recommended for: Queens Of The Stone Age fans following the band's later albums; Listeners who want veteran hard rock with real lyrical spite and craft; Collectors of 2020s rock albums that add weight to an established catalogue.
