I got this cd for Christmas, and was pretty excited about it when I unwrapped it, the band a "supergroup" being composed of bassist John Paul Jones (of Led Zeppelin), drummer Dave Grohl (of Nirvana and front man for The Foo Fighters) and guitarist Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age).
John Paul Jones? Really? I hadn't seen that guy on credits in a while. Wonder how come he's not been involved in any of the Page/Plant projects? He's looking pretty good though .... (See their web site.)
Anyway I've listened to it three times now and if I had to describe this album in one word it would be "throwback". First of all, it's got a real raw, garage sound too it. Some songs sound like "Cream" and others are kind of psychedelic. I have to say I didn't like it so much at first but it's beginning to grow on me. There's not to much lyrically that's too heavy -- it's mostly just hard luck love a la rock-n-roll.
Favorite track so far: "Dead End Friends".
