Them Crooked Vultures - Them Crooked Vultures (2009) Review

alrighty then! Them Crooked Vultures is a combination of Dave Grohl (who has drummed for Nirvana, Queens of the Stone Age, Nine Inch Nails, Probot and Scream as well as the singer/guitarist of the Foo Fighters) on drums, Josh Homme (singer/guitarist of Queens of the Stone Age, guitarist of Kyuss and guitarist of Eagles of Death Metal) on vocals and guitar and the legendary John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin (NO DUH!) on bass and organ. all 3 are very strong songwriters and amazing musicians who span multiple genres of music, multipule decades of music and have made some of the greatest songs and most important albums known to man and music...and i still was not expecting something like this! this is the most mindblowing insane album i have heard! the music i know falls under rock but after that it transends subgenres of rock that makes it love at first listen! they said this band was created for fun and you can sure as hell tell that it was all fun and games! highlights include "No One Loves Me and Neither Do I", "Mind Eraser (No Chaser)", "New Fang", "Warshaw or the First Breath You Take After You Give Up", "Dead End Friends", "Elephants", "Spinning in Daffodils", "Caligulove" and "Scumbag Blues". as for my ratting? i give this 10 vultures with bad spines out of 10 cause this is AMAZING! Jone Paul Jones is amazing on bass and organ, he has not sounded this good since the days of Zeppelin, Josh Homme gets into this alternative rock space where he is virtually untouchable and Dave Grohl is amazing in holding this musical frankenstein all together as they sound tight as fuck!
