EP
Stone Age Complication
Stone Age Complication is an EP from Queens of the Stone Age, released in 2004 on Interscope Records. It gathers six B-sides and covers, so it works as a side road off the main route rather than a new studio statement. The band's sound sits across rock, alternative rock and stoner rock.
It arrived between Songs for the Deaf (2002) and Lullabies to Paralyze (2005), which makes it a handy stopgap for anyone who wants more from that stretch of the band's career. Fans who like to dig past the albums will find it a tidy way to catch material that might otherwise be scattered across singles.
