What's a good way to vent a little frustration while you wait out a flight delay in a random airport (other than alcohol)? How about blasting some Them Crooked Vultures?In case you've been missing out, Them Crooked Vultures is a supergroup comprised of Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age, Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters and Nirvana, and John Paul Jones of Led Fucking Zeppelin. Their debut self-titled release is one of the most anticipated albums of the year. It lives up to the hype the internet has bestowed upon it.
I read a few articles that said it appeared that Homme had lucked into this gig. After listening to this album, I disagree. His fingerprints are all over this disc in the form of the druggy, heavy sound that Queens of the Stone Age is known for. But the beautiful thing about a trio is that you can hear everyone with glorious clarity. Grohl pounds the skins like it's 1992, and Jones kicks out some truly dirty bass riffs and adds some nice keyboard flourishes to boot. Check out the tracks below and pick up the album here if you dig.
