http://www.myspace.com/crookedvultures Dave Grohl, Josh Homme and John Paul Jones playing something between Arctic Monkeys and QOTSA. Nowhere near as good as it sounds, but Fridge and Seinfeld should like it. |

yeah it's not really that good to be honest for the musicians involved. |

Listening to the full songs multiple times resulted in a positive judgement from myself. 30 second clips just don't do it justice. |

Was considering a review,actually; pleased to see Grohl state in an interview that he chose this because the world didn't need another Foo Fighters album right now, which is refreshingly honest from a major artist. I've always preferred him as a drummer, as well. |

I tried listening to it, didn't click. I'll give it another go once I'm done with my shitload of other stuff to listen to. :S |

Just listened 2-3 times some songs in youtube yesterday morning. They didn't click. I'd give it a try in the future, but now I've got a long list of more interesting things to listen to. |

I've not been expecting much, mainly because I assume Homme to be the main creative force and he's been past his best for a while now. I will give it a go though. |

Not very good, from what I've heard. More like a jumble of ideas made marketable due to the names involved. Friends shouldn't let friends get drunk and form bands. |

There's a couple few good tracks. Most of it sounds like leftovers from "Vulgaris" But on a whole it doesn't really hold my attention. So I can't really comment on the 'growing' quality of it. |

I just listened to samples on Amazon. Based on that, I like it. Sounds like a rawer and less polished QOTSA. Speaking of which, according to Wikipedia, the Queens are supposed to return to the studio this summer to record a new album. Hopefully, it will be out by the end of the year. |

After listening to the album just today, I have to agree with the general consensus: I'm disappointed. The low-fi production really betrays the music, and just about every song sounds the same. This has neither the hooks nor diversity of Homme's work with QOTSA. I think I'll just go with Heart On (by Eagles Of Death Metal) and forget Them Crooked Vultures unless they put out a better album later on (like Audioslave did with their sophomore record). |

Wasn't that impressed by the album but I saw them live recently and they where great. |
