them crooked vultures

[krisholio14]

Its solid, but I don't find it as amazing as everyone on here is saying it is.

I've enjoyed it more on subsequent listens this weekend, but yeah, i'm with you.

I do believe though, that their second album will be far better than this one

 

[La Dispute]

Listen to it again mate. Took a couple of listens before I really loved it.

This would be correct.

It's pretty amazing how much I enjoyed it upon 2nd listen.

 

[treefingers]

I've listened to it 8 times, and spaced out each listen, only once every couple of days. I'm starting to enjoy it more then when I first did, but I find that I really like the first half of the album whereas in the second half it drops off a lot.

 

[scotty4]

i didnt like it at all to begin with could not see the fuss but now i can appreciate it, it is marvellous indeed.

 

[Ninty]

I've listened to it at least like 30 times, I'm obsessed and play it daily. >_>

I've got it on a loop as well and it's still as good as ever.

FWIW, I don't mind the back-end of the album. It has a lot more creative songs in it.

Check out the pro-shot footage on Youtube and you will appreciate it.

Thank **** for these guys

I'm with Diablo

listened to it 4 times now and it just isn't that great. while far from a bad album I find it isn't any special

 

[Powerade 08]

It's nothing special. A good album in a bad year for music.

The only people I know who make it out to be anymore than that are the ones who only listen to rock and have been waiting 20 years for a decent album to come out.

I'm pretty much in that group. Rock has seen a lot of lean years recently.

THEM CROOKED VULTURES INTERRUPTED BY HOMME ARREST

Recording of the new THEM CROOKED VULTURES album was put on hold after just three days - when frontman JOSH HOMME found himself in jail.
The supergroup, which also includes Foo Fighters singer Dave Grohl and Led Zeppelin star John Paul Jones, headed to a studio in Burbank, California earlier this year (09) to record their debut.
But the sessions came to an abrupt halt after just three days when Queens of the Stone Age star Homme was arrested and thrown behind bars.
Although Homme refuses to reveal why he ended up in custody, he admits being severely embarrassed when he had to explain the situation to his new bandmates.
He say, "I got arrested on the third day of our session. It was total bull, because I really was just hanging out, you know? When I got out of jail, we were recording that day, so I told the guys, 'Look, I haven't had that much sleep, it's going take me a sec (second) to get my thing together.' And to not have one look of judgement was very cool. I gotta be just who I am, because I don't know who else to be."'

I second Bunsen. It's a bit sad for music when one of the best albums of the year in Rock is from a supergroup.

But, thats the way it is at the moment

 

[Rollerball]

I'm pretty much in that group. Rock has seen a lot of lean years recently.

Apart from the excellent work of Shannon Noll of course.

As far as this record goes, I dig it but I think it could never live up to the ridiculously high expectations I had of it.

 

[treefingers]

I've changed my mind completely on this album, its great. No One Loves Me & Neither Do I is my favourite, followed by Dead End Friends and Caligulove.

 

[Golding]

saw them last night in Perth. Awesome show i thought!

My ears are still ringing

think they did a new song too, i didnt recognise one of them.

 

[Ninty]

Highway One?

Add Elephant and you have my top four on the album.

Seeing them this Saturday (lucky I checked, I thought it was the Friday gig until today)

 

[krusden]

i am starting to get very psyched for friday night.

 

[Fender]

Monday.. cannot wait

 

[sojthebest]

Thought 'Novacaine' was pretty good (Support act). I can't find any info on them on the internet though, can anyone help me out?

 

[Ninty]

The Novocaines

 

[SunKing]

Apparently came close to having a Beatle in the group.

Highway One?

Possibly, Google says theyve been playing it for a while.

I might try to listen to it at home.......... when my hearing comes back..

Better news from that article is that a 2nd album is planned.
