defrogThis isn’t new in the strictest sense for many of you, but I probably should take a moment to call yr attention to Them Crooked Vultures, who have been rocking my iPod for much of the year.
I’m not crazy about the “supergroup” concept, regardless of who is involved, because more often than not, the end product is usually inferior to the band members’ respective day jobs. Even if it’s good, it’s really not essential.
Them Crooked Vultures is the exception that proves the rule, though I think that’s mainly because I’m a fan of the members – Josh Homme, John Paul Jones and Dave Grohl – more than their proper bands (Queens Of The Stone Age, Led Zeppelin and Foo Fighters). I like songs from all three bands, mind, but I don’t own everything they’ve ever recorded either.
Homme’s influence dominates the album, which is why TCV sounds a lot closer to QotSA than the other two bands. It’s also why it sounds like the dark sexy underbelly of the 1970s rock scene. You’ll feel cheap, slutty and hungover by the end of the record. And you’ll love it.
Listen.
See?
Anyway, the other thing worth mentioning is that this oficially confirms the fact that I like Josh Homme’s side projects more than his “real” band.
Clap me in irons,
This is dF
