Them Crooked Vultures


Meh. It's all right, but I wanted so much more. A band made up of Dave Grohl, Josh Homme and John Paul Jones should knock you on your ass. This album, not so much. I really wanted something hard hitting and rocking, and at moments there is some rocking, but not hard enough. It is great to have Mr. Grohl back behind a trap set again and Homme and Jones are great musicians but that wasn't enough to make a great album. I tried. I left it in the truck for more than a week and listened to it as much as I could, but nothing grabbed me. I never found myself mindlessly humming a song or singing a track to myself at work. Just not enough for me. I'm sure live the songs are great, but on album they just didn't do much for me. Neither thumbs up or thumbs down, just kind of there.
