Them Crooked Vultures

It's a good album but I don't reach for it that often. One of those albums suited for the digital world where you can cherry pick the music you like to listen to and leave the rest on your drive to gather electronic dust.

My favourites are the tracks when the band slip into the heavy blues. Scumbag Blues, which is reminiscent of Cream, and Warsaw.. which chugs enthusiastically along for over seven minutes.

This new supergroup isn't all the thrilling originality I expected from a supergroup like this. It's dominated by the early style of Josh Homme (vocals and guitar), but comes with engaging new musical compositions from both Dave Grohl and John Paul Jones, and it's all in all a really great record. They don't shift the focus around like you could expect from a "supergroup", but sort of get along around the way which makes it a very well-composed record, with originality in almost every track. The lyrics is kind of standard rock-lyrics with catchy parts but not mind-blowing.

I was delused by last QOTSA record "Era Vulgaris", and I had a lot of expectations on this project.
I put this album in the cd-player and push play, just after first 3 songs I had feeling i'm not gonna be upset by Josh 2 times in a row.
Dave's drum with JPJ bass makes an awsome rhythmic section and Josh fantasy as riff & solo maker is back near SFTD splendour.

The album has quite a few obvious hits if youre into Queens of the Stoneage as it builds mostly on the direction taken long ago by Josh Homme and associates. Which is of course great about the album but it still leaves a slightly static impression and the thought that this might as well have been just another Queens-album. You would think that such big characters as John Paul Jones and Dave Grohl would mark themselves more explicitly playing together.
Admittedly, just a few times you might be able to spot some 70s rock influence but you will have to listen hard for it. It´s easier to identify Grohl on the record when he pounds the drums with that furious energy you also know from Songs for the Deaf.
Bottom line: It´s a great buy so enjoy !

The best superband ever couldn't disappoint me. Nirvana + Led Zeppelin + Queens The Stone Age = Them Crooked Crew.

Don't expect it to make a big impact at the first listening, you have to listen to every guitar riff, every drum beat... and then you'll love this album.

This album contains the best elements of it's three members! Ghrols animal, raw percussion style. Homme's carefully crafted and thoughtful lyrics, and Jones's experence and multi-instumentalism that really brings it all together. The band excudes coolness and lared in each track you can certainly hear the blues, psychedelic and rock and roll influences coming through.
Sadly if your expecting something groundbreaking - this is not for you. It is very much a melting pot of the three bands involved, nonetheless a savage album for all rock and indie fans that bring back the days when bands truely used to ROCK!!!

How do you review a quality line-up like this,on paper awesome, so you think how will it sound. First off as Homme is the vocalist and lead guitarist, it does sound like qotsa (not a bad sound I might add). Grohl ,as we all know, is happy behind the kit (Duracell bunny springs to mind?)off setting Jpj's rhythms, this in turn allows Homme the freedom to have fun. This album does sound like these guys had fun in the studio putting together these tracks, the down side is, how long for the follow up. This only leaves you wanting more......
