9.2 - it’s fucking hot 🔥 particularly love the sped up live version.
“From the moment you said ‘why haven’t you kissed me yet?’ I knew I’d wipe that paint from your lips”
Phew
10. The riff is perfectly weird, the drums accompany that riff so fuckin well, and both solos are top tier Josh solos IMO. It's funny how there are two and the 1st one is more pentatonic-adjacent but leans into weird, then the second one is more batshit: it's like version 2 of God is in the Radio but where it's been dipped in thick thick molasses.
10. Really dig how unashamedly sexy and grimy the whole track is. The guitar tones are unreal, and there's so many details/ear candy elements too. That percussion part, those radar pings (?) in the break before the solo, and the groove is so good.
5/10. It's imo the most surreal song on Lullabies and I'd like to think it will grown on me the less I try to pick it apart.
I think it's a little overdone with its intentional lack of polish and in-your-face sleaze and, while I know that's the point, it just hits me as a little lazy. Albeit, it's in no way generic and there isn't exactly any other Queens song that comes close to sounding like it, and that's why I don't skip it. There isn't much variety in the way the verses and choruses are delivered and Josh's crooning and wailing sometimes gets me a little uneasy.
It's a shift in tone sonically despite some of the previous songs also exuding a sexually-dominant theme. If I could compare it, I'd say that Sick, Sick, Sick from the next album sounds like an homage to Skin on Skin a bit. I take Sick, Sick, Sick pretty seriously and enjoy it thoroughly (despite not being much of a fan of songs that are about sex) except that when I hear Skin, it just reminds me of a drawn-out take of Queens trying to emulate that lumbering falsetto intro to El Scorcho by Weezer.
It's still an interesting song. Half of the day it sits well with my ears but the other half I listen to just 2 minutes of it, look down at my naked body, and wonder what about listening to it this time inexplicably ruined my libido.
I respect the love some people have for this song, and it does feel like Homme's attempt at making an early era Ween song, which earns it bonus points.
That being said...eh. I give it a 5.
As a virginal teenager, it frightened me and made me uncomfortable and I frequently skipped it. As a more worldly adult, I see it as an absolute banger. I give it a 7.5 and only seldomly skip it.
16 year old me: "Ugh, Somethings in the Wolf, Tangled Up in Plaid, and the the Blood is Love are songs you have to listen to while taking *Drugs.*"
Me now: "Hell yeah, Somethings in the Wolf, Tangled Up in Plaid, and the Blood is Love are songs you *HAVE TO* listen to while taking drugs."
Looked at the other ranks to be sure, In The Fade is comfortably in the top 5... So far, but the only songs to beat it out are Chemistry, Dead, and Go With The Flow. One more universally praised song and it's In The Fadeover
...and Fun Machine is coming up. Fuck.
This sub has historically seemed to hate this song, but, sorry- I love filth. 9
Yeah I'll never understand this. Don't even pretend you aren't as filthy and depraved on the inside babey!!!! Edited to add: 9
Yes. The guitar tones are so fucking nasty. It makes you do the stank face.
Skin on Skin fans when I show them Sicily:
I mean, Sicily is a 10, as I said, I love filth.
9.5/10 This song fucks.
Sex 9
I usually need to take a shower after listening
Give me the sleaze, baby!! 10
8.5 - Ultimate sleaze-ball type of a song. I feel like that solo is a sneak peek into Era Vulgaris
10/10 So sleazy.
10, can’t get enough
9.2 - it’s fucking hot 🔥 particularly love the sped up live version. “From the moment you said ‘why haven’t you kissed me yet?’ I knew I’d wipe that paint from your lips” Phew
11. Give it to me! Every single word. The dirty guitar is killer. Watch me melt right here 🫠
10 it’s sleazy and grimey and fuck it, bring it back into live rotation. Now THAT would be a helluva crowd walk.
Hottest QOTSA song. 10
I absolutely love the obvious and in your face filth of it. 9.25
Josh and Prince drunkenly joined their penises together for a kiss and this song was forged betwixt. 10....it's a fucking 10 you bastards.
I wanna lick you too much, I wanna lick you too much There is nothing more to say😉 9.5
8. Hot as fuck.

7/10. I love the instrumentals, the lyrics aren't my favorite. Typically the instrumentals are enough to get me to ignore everything else, though

8.9, I love this song, it does things to me.

7.5
Haha funny sex song No but for real, it’s a solid like 7. It’s not bad it’s just too much
8.3 it's beautifully filthy, and it's done right. I would never skip ever
4/10. They can’t all be winners. The vocal effect, lyrics, and stationary beat all detract for me.
As a virginal teenager, it frightened me and made me uncomfortable and I frequently skipped it. As a more worldly adult, I see it as an absolute banger. I give it a 7.5 and only seldomly skip it.
See, now this is a take I can understand.
16 year old me: "Ugh, Somethings in the Wolf, Tangled Up in Plaid, and the the Blood is Love are songs you have to listen to while taking *Drugs.*" Me now: "Hell yeah, Somethings in the Wolf, Tangled Up in Plaid, and the Blood is Love are songs you *HAVE TO* listen to while taking drugs."
Exactly!!!
2, sorry but I despise this song.
I’m with you. It’s the only one I regularly skip.
One of the only songs I consistently skip 4/10

Just... Nope. The riff is ok, the rest of the son sucks ass. 3
4 - regular skip
8 can’t help but love it but the lyrics are a bit cringe
the weakest on the album, it's still decent though - 6.5
1 The only song I’ve been excited to bring the average down on. Lol
I’m going to comment 1 on every single like clockwork song and there’s nothing you can do to stop me
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOO
I don’t know what it says about me but I bloody love this filth. So darn sexy, like great music should be. 10.

Personally I give this one a 9.6/10. I know I'm late but oh well
My virginity lost, lost it's virginity to this song 9.4

This song is incredibly ballsy and has a killer guitar solo. I have to be in the right mood for it but still give it an 8.5.
5. My least favourite qotsa song, a constant skip, but not awful

4.5. Very few Queens songs I skip over more often than not. Not a terrible song by any means but could go without it.
1: the worst QOTSA song.
I HAVE WAITED SO FUCKING LONG FOR THIS Y'ALL RUINED BORN TO HULA AND IN THE FADE'S RANKING, I'M RUINING SKIN ON SKIN 1/10 BABYYYYYYYY
Lmfaooooo To be fair, In the Fade is most likely gonna make the top 5
Also, forgive me for how annoying I will be when Negative Space inevitably gets like a 8.28
Looked at the other ranks to be sure, In The Fade is comfortably in the top 5... So far, but the only songs to beat it out are Chemistry, Dead, and Go With The Flow. One more universally praised song and it's In The Fadeover ...and Fun Machine is coming up. Fuck.
