    Comments about PID Queens of the Stone Age - Songs for the Deaf:

    For those not familiar with this band it is fronted by Josh Homme (he of Kyuss, Eagles of Death Metal, Desert Sessions, Them Crooked Vultures fame). You can keep your aging rockers that should be retired or dead by now & keep your spoiled-brat/make-up wearing kids whose daddy bought them their recording contract. Simply put this is what rock n roll/metal should be.
    I would also recommend all other QOTSA albums - there is'nt a bad one out there.
