This is the alternate version of the Queens of the Stone Age fifth studio album released on June 12, 2007. This version was released in Argentina, Brazil, Germany, Netherlands, Mexico and Russia.
Era Vulgaris contrasts greatly with their last studio album Lullabies to Paralyze. This effort brings greater distortion and noise, turning away from a radio-friendly sound.
This version features the bonus track “The Fun Machine Took a Shit & Died”. It was released as a promotional single off of Era Vulgaris but was not used for the original release. It was made exclusively available on this version of the album.
