John Homme sings at the beginning of the ninth Queens of the Stone Age album. The album Perfecth is described as the band's most subdued and introspective work. It sounds like it is designed for brooding bedrooms rather than loud arenas. The previous Queens of the Stone Age album is In Times New Roman…, released in 2023.

The song Phantom Limb is described as an acoustic X-ray of a heavy-rock tune, with Homme singing about trying to pilot friendless isolation. Homme breaks out his English-rocker warble for acoustic songs including From the Cliff and Easy Street. The song Sunday ties Homme's Bowie-like voice to a slithering Iggy Pop-style track. The song Where the Goth Girls At breaks past its less-than-promising title to deliver gutter-glam thrills. The song Insignificant Other is described as a Seventies Stones-style stroll whose lyrics pick through the embers of a past Homme cannot rewrite. The review article is dated October 29, 2026.
