Era Vulgaris is the fifth full length studio album by American hard rock band Queens of the Stone Age. While 2002’s Songs for the Deaf was said to be inspired by Josh Homme’s tedious drive through the Southern Californian desert, the inspiration for Era Vulgaris came from the Homme’s daily drive through Hollywood.[9] He described the record as “dark, hard, and electrical, sort of like a construction worker”[10],”…it’s like dirt, clearly seen.”[11] The album’s title Era Vulgaris refers to the Latin term for Common Era. The title was chosen by Homme because he thought “it sounds like ‘the Vulgar Era’, which I like, because that sounds like something that I would like to be part of… I mean I think we’re in it, and I’m stoked”.[11]
