QOTSA Channels Goo-Era Sonic Youth

I was looking for Queens of the Stone Age videos to see if I could figure out why QOTSA feels like a solid band to me while Forever the Sickest Kids, operating in a nearby genre, feels so thoroughly shlocky. But I was diverted by another issue: isn't it wild how the verse of this QOTSA song sounds exactly like a Sonic Youth outtake from the Goo period? The phrasing is exactly what Thurston Moore would have used, and the somewhat monotonous melody too. The chorus is maybe a little more pop, though not a whole lot.
